In the course of the regular work in high school much is done in the way of training for physical fitness. In the biology and chem- istry courses the many lessons on health are fully stressed. In biology the following are emphasized: the structure, functions and care of the human body, first aid, hygiene, nutrition, the place of bacteria and fungi in personal hygiene, water supply and sewage disposal.
In small high schools the War Department does not advise the introduction of special pre-induction courses so much as the adapta- tion of material in the regular courses to the needs of boys soon to enter the service. These adaptations are for the most part of equal value to girls and are improvements toward meeting the long-time needs of peace. The Department recommends, for the development of the mathematical skills needed, the regular courses in algebra and geometry for those able to carry them; for those who are less able, abundant drill in the four fundamentals of arithmetic, common fractions, decimals, etc .; and this latter is well taken care of in the commercial department.
In the chemistry course topics will be stressed which are called for by the War Department, such as the laws and principles involv- ing matter and energy, solutions, electrolysis, etc.
The English teacher in particular, and other teachers so far as
87
occasion or opportunity will allow, have continually in mind and will stress work toward the basic language skills called for by the Depart- ment. The commercial teacher drills in the basic language skills through teaching report writing, letter writing, use of business papers and forms, etc.
The teacher of social studies in particular and all of us in general are' guided by the following, as condensed from a bulletin from the War Department:
Emphasis on the democratic principles which we seek to maintain, and the basic conflict with Axis policies and aggression; the funda- mental causes of the war, its global character, etc., that is, WHY WE FIGHT.
The present enrollment by subjects follows, which is much the same as last year except for a considerable increase in science and mathematics.

As for the needs of the school, for the most part I could only repeat my last year's paragraphs on that subject. I would add that because of the lack of any manual arts, probably at least one third of those who enter high school profit very little by it. Our range of offerings is so limited, many pupils take courses merely to get points for their diplomas and not from genuine interest or desire for real accomplishment. If the town will not do any more for this kind of pupil, who might do well in drawing, at least, or some kind of manual arts, it is of little use for him to go to school beyond the eighth grade.
Respectfully submitted,
C. W. HOLMES, Principal.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
East Douglas, Mass., December 18, 1944.
Mr. A. B. Garcelon,
Superintendent of Schools,
East Douglas, Mass.
Dear Mr. Garcelon:
I herewith submit my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1944.
The voices in the Grammar Schools are very good. The pupils employ the natural and proper method of tone production, progress- ing easily from chest to head tones with no straining.
The work in musical theory has been done well in all of the grades, and the importance of good rhythm has been stressed.
The singing in the Douglas Center School is unusually fine. A good deal of the credit for this should be given to Mrs. Dixson, who is a talented musician and a good teacher.
The High School chorus and orchestra did some splendid work at the graduation exercises.
At the present time there are eighteen children in the different schools taking lessons on stringed instruments. The students show a great deal of interest in the lessons and are faithful in their prac- tice. This should mean a much better orchestra in the future.
In all of the schools the standard patriotic and service songs have been taught. The pupils like these songs and sing them with en- thusiasm.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the coopera- tion and support given me this past year.
Respecfully submitted, DAVID N. GELLATLY, Supervisor of Music.

Report of Supervisor of Writing
Mr. A. B. Garcelon, Superintendent of Schools,
Douglas, Mass.
My Dear Mr. Garcelon:
I am pleased to submit the following report of the operation of the Handwriting program in the Douglas Schools for the school year of 1943-44.
In the initial handwriting tests administered in November, 1933, 2.9% of your elementary school pupils received a grade of "A" (Ex- cellent); 24.5% received a grade of "B" (Good); and 72.4% were graded less than "B". In the June tests administered in 1944, 85% of your pupils were graded "A" (Excellent); 8% were graded "B" (Good); and only 6% were graded less than "B". In the November tests administered in 1933 to your High School pupils, only 4% of the students scored "A" (Excellent); 45% received "B" (Good); and 51% were graded less than "B". In the June tests administered in 1944, 95% of your High School pupils received a score of "A" (Ex- cellent) ; 5% were graded "B" (Good); and no pupils received a score of less than "B".
During the last school year, we graded approximately 3170 formal and 9510 informal samples of handwriting for the elementary school children, and 1080 formal and 3240 informal handwriting samples for the High School pupils.
We furnished the following supplies during the year :- monthly outlines for the teachers, pupil folder outlines, room motivation certificates, monthly and term envelopes, term testing paper, individ- ual handwriting certificates for eighth grade and high school pupils who qualified, diagnostic charts, seals, etc.
In conclusion, I should like to express my appreciation to you, your teachers and your pupils for the fine cooperation we have received at all times.
Sincerely yours, W. L. RINEHART Percussion Instruments.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. Albert B Garcelon, Superintendent of Schools, My Dear Mr. Garcelon:
I am pleased to submit my annual report to you as school nurse.
The chief aim of the school nurse is to teach anyone with whom she comes in contact, the real meaning of the word health.
Due to war conditions and with many mothers working, the children are sadly showing the result of it. Some children come to school having had little or no breakfast and when they are taken home, if ill, are left alone until some member of the family returns home.
This is not a healthy condition for the child, physically or mentally.
The dental clinic under Dr. Blanchard's direction was conducted the same as the previous year, with Dr. Lynch doing the work. A dental hygienist was secured and did the dental work in Dr. Blan- chard's office, he giving the use of his office gratis. The students and the nurse are most grateful to him.
In making a survey in the schools, I find that over 50% of the pupils are going to their own dentist regularly. This is most grati- fying, although dental defects are still the major defects found.
The dental clinic report is as follows:
Number of individuals at clinic 94
Number of cleanings by hygienist 120
Number of fillings 130
Number of extractions 30
Total amount of money collected $250.00
The autiometer test was given in all three buildings, with the following result:
Number tested 400
Number retested 39
Number with marked hearing loss 6
Those having marked hearing loss are all under private supervision.
Twenty-five pupils were taken to Worcester to Eye Clinic.
92
This year the nurse examined the eyes of all pupils in the town with the new Massachusetts Vision Test, which is also recommended by New York State Department of Health. This new test surpasses in efficiency the old Sneller test previously used. Fifty-nine failed to pass this test. Written notices were sent to parents.
The physical examinations were done by Dr. Bouvier and written notices sent to parents.
Dr. Bouvier remarked that there are very few with marked physical defects.
The children in the lower grades seem to have fewer defects than those in the upper grades. I believe that the Well Child Conference is in a large way responsible for this.
Fifteen children had tonsillectomy operations done privately.
The crippled children clinic is being used to much advantage. One child who had a serious deformity has been entirely corrected.
Three children are attending speech clinic and are showing im- provement.
Tht majority of our students have poor posture, particularly the high school students. We hope for better potsure for all in the very near future.
The school milk program in the grammar school building func- tioned as usual. An average of sixty-eight half pints of milk per day was consumed by the pupils at recess time for a period of fifteen weeks.
Beginning in October of this year, a new milk program went into effect. The Government pays two cents on each half pint of milk and the children pay two cents. This program is in effect in all three buildings, with nearly three hundred bottle's of milk being consumed daily. At the end of each month a claim for reimbursementt is made out for each building and submitted to the Government. The milk program, as well as the school lunch, is under the direction of the school nurse.
A very few surplus commodities were received this year.
The Teachers' Club, Douglas Grange and local Red Cross organ- izations helped to sponsor the school lunch program by purchasing sugar, cocoa and soup. The teachers, junior high school girls, Mrs. Alice Cave and Mrs. Rose Rinfrette assisted in the preparation and serving of this food.
93
I am most grateful to the organizations for their interest in a hot lunch for the school children and to the individuals who assisted in preparing it.
I refer you to the Board of Health Nurse's Report for the com- plete communicable disease and tuberculosis program.
Health talks and classroom inspections were done routinely.
The nurse obtained literature and talked with high school stu- dents pertaining to cadet nursing and, in many instances, assisted nurse candidates in selecting a training school as well as going with them to make personal application to superintendents of nurses.
I am most grateful to the American Red Cross, Douglas Teach- ers' Club, Douglas Grange, Salvation Army and Kiwanis Club for their financial assistance.
May I express my appreciation to the Department of Education, Dr. Spooner, Dr. Bouvier, Dr. Blanchard, Dr. Lynch and to the par- ents and teachers for their interest and cooperation in the health program.
Respectfully submitted,
(MRS.) MABEL A. BROWN, A. N. School Nurse.

O VALIANT HEARTS
O valiant Hearts, who to your glory came Through dust of conflict and through battle-flame; Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved, Your memory hallowed in the Land you loved.
Proudly you gathered, rank on rank to war, As who had heard God's message from afar; All you had hoped for, all you had you gave To save Mankind-yourselves you scorned to save.
Splendid you passed, the great surrender made, Into the light that nevermore shall fade; Deep your contentment in that blessed abode, Who wait the last clear trumpet-call of God. from
