REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH NURSE


January 22, 1951


Mr. Robert J. Frost, Chairman Board of Selectmen Douglas, Mass.


My Dear Mr. Frost:


It is a pleasure to report on my activities as Board of Health Nurse in the Town of Douglas.


I resumed my duties as board nurse in June, after a leave of absence of nine months. During my leave of absence I studied for a full college year at Simmons College School of Nursing.


The following constitutes the communicable disease reported to the health office from June through December.


Chicken Pox 11


Mumps


2


Whooping Cough 5


Follow up on all entering school children examined at the Well Child Clinic Conferences was done. As a result of the home visiting all defects were either corrected or under treatment before the child entered school in September. The Well Child Conferences have been conducted with an average of nine children attending each conference. At one of the conferences 2 Cerebral Palsy cases were found. Both of these cases are now under treatment. Dr. Spooner is the examining physician and gives invaluable advice to the parents. Douglas is one of the few small communities that con- duct well child conferences on the same basis as this.


The blood bank is a Red Cross function but both Mr. Victor Nelson the agent for the board and myself assume the major re- sponsibility for its functioning.


One active case of tuberculosis is hospitalized at the County Sanatorium. Ten individuals were taken to the County Sanatorium for X-Ray. Appointments were made for 20 tuberculosis suspects and arrested cases to go to the Sanatoria for X-Ray and check up.


The report of the dental survey made by a dental hygienist from the State Dept. of Public Health may be found under the School Nurses Report, to which I refer you.


Four pre-mature babies born in Worcester hospitals were re- ported to the health office. It is now mandatory that all pre-mature


74

births be reported to the health board of the community in which parents reside.


The various services rendered by me are grouped as follows:


Non communicable diseases 233


Crippled children services 52


Acute communicable disease 30


Tuberculosis (All forms) 33


Pre-mature births

Antipartum or pre-natal

I attended the. American Public Health Association Convention held in St. Louis, Mo., The New England Health Institute at Am- herst, Mass. as well as other important meetings including the meet- ings coordinating Civilian Defense with the Health Department.


The child health committee as well as several other interested women in the town render invaluable service at conferences, clinics, blood banks, etc. It would be impossible for a nurse working alone to carry on the type of program that I do unless I had assistance from this committee. To them I am sincerely grateful.


I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Selectmen, Dr. Spooner, Mr. Nelson and Miss Sweinberg for their efforts and in- terest in the health of this community.


Respectfully submitted,


MABEL A. BROWN, R.N.

TOWN OF DOUGLAS


REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


Please accept my fourth annual report as Superintendent of Schools in Douglas.


MODERN CONCEPT OF THE SECONDARY SCHOOL


The new philosophy of secondary education is a complete re- versal of the old. Previously we considered the high school to be selective, where pupils must meet certain standards, often influenced by college entrance requirements. Now we consider that a function of secondary education is to provide a full high school education for all non-institutionalized youth of high school age. To make this transition practicable, three main steps are necessary :


(1) Our philosophy in its new form must be accepted by all- citizens, school administrators, supervisors, classroom teachers.


(2) Our curriculum must be revised to provide worthwhile edu- cational experiences for all degrees of ability and interest.


(3) Our procedure for administering our secondary schools must be changed. By this is meant marking systems, set curricula, honor rolls, athletic eligibility rules, and other procedures which contribute to the squeeze out of low ability pupils. Here in Douglas considerable progress has been made all along the line. Curriculum revision is a major field of interest to secondary school people, and it is in this area that the greatest effort towards transition need be made, if we are to meet the eight needs of the youth of secondary school age, as established by the Committee for Evaluation of Sec- ondary Education, Department of Education of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts :- (1) growing up; (2) profiting from guidance; (3) achieving health and fitness; (4) making the most of the natural, technological, and social environment; (5) learning to recognize, appreciate, and contribute to beauty and good taste; (6) using leisure time well; (7) preparing for further education or vocation or both; (8) becoming self-educating.


Between the years 1920-30, the number of fifth graders who stayed on to complete the twelfth grade increased 87%. For a simi- lar ten year period between 1934-44, the number of fifth graders who completed the twelfth grade increased by only 8%. For the year 1944, according to the bulletin of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, only 50% of those in the fifth grade went on to complete the twelfth grade. At no time have we had more


80


ANNUAL REPORT


than 73% of our youth of high school age in the high school. In every way we have made our high schools selective for pupils of bet- ter than average mentality. I believe we need to take a second look. Greater emphasis must be placed on the new philosophy. Further change in our marking system from the basis of set standards to the basis of achievement as related to ability must be brought about. We must establish more differentiated courses of study in terms of ability, such as remedial reading for slow readers, practical courses in arithmetic, Domestic Science and Manual Training. We must develop a complete guidance program to steer pupils into courses where the subject matter meets their abilities.


. The citizens of Douglas may take pride in the fact that the Douglas Memorial High School has been classed by the State De- partment of Education as a Grade "A" high school. Students may be certified from the Douglas Memorial High School with a rank of 85% or above to school of higher learning recognized by the new England Board of College Examiners.


Parents of superior children may safely be advised that the average ability of Douglas pupils is high enough so that their chil- dren will not be handicapped by training in the Douglas school sys- tem. All of this represents an enviable position for a small high school.


CHANGES IN PERSONNEL


The superintending school committee were fortunate to procure the services of Miss Helen Foster, a graduate of Houghton College, with special training in youth service. She has had several years of teaching experience in the secondary schools of Vermont. Miss Foster succeeds to the language position vacated by Miss Genevieve Hawkins. Mr. Albert Sharps, a graduate of the University of New Hampshire, who has done graduate work at the University of Chicago, was em- ployed to succeed to the position vacated by Paul Simpson, who, after three years of service, went to a better position at Marblehead. Mr. Sharps has had teaching experience in the high schools of New Hamp- shire. Miss Jillson was retired by the school committee after an extended leave of absence. Mr. Edgar L. White, Jr., a graduate of the Conservatory of Music, was employed as music supervisor in the Douglas schools to succeed to the position vacated by Mrs. Helen Ryan. Mr. Irwin Smith was employed as part-time custodian of the Douglas Center school to succeed to the position vacated by James A. Hickey on July 15.


NEW EQUIPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS


In any business organization, progress demands the replace- ment of out-moded equipment and facilities. This is true in the business of operating a school system. This year new steps were con-


81


TOWN OF DOUGLAS


structed at the entrance to the high school building, the cast stone work was pointed up on the face of the building, new stair treads were installed at the grammar school building, and fluorescent light fixtures placed in the lower halls. The basement was com- pletely renovated at the Douglas Center school, and the oil tanks removed from the basement to a position outside the school building in the interests of safety. Water was conducted into the Douglas Center school, utilizing the equipment already existing. We are con- fronted this year with the problem of a complete new roof on the high school building and repairs on the roof of the grammar school building. This is a major job and will entail a substantial expen- diture. In line with our policy of replacing obsolete typewriters in the commercial department, we are fortunate in that all typewriters now in use are comparatively new, and if the need should arise, we could go for some years without impairing the efficiency of the com- mercial department.


We are now in process of following through certain recommenda- tions made by the state office of building inspection to improve the safety of all public school buildings. This work should be complete early this year.


A new bioscope which projects as it maynifies has been purchased for the science department in the high school. A. piano has been added to the music department, a new globe and bookcases to the senior high school.


The plumbing in the high school has been partially renovated.


COSTS OF OPERATION


A year ago the superintendent of schools reported that educa- tion, as every other commodity, is costing and will cost more money. Since that time cost of operation, which includes salaries, supplies, teaching aids, maintenance, new equipment, transportation, auxiliary agencies to the schools, etc., have advanced all along the line ap- proximately 25%. This is a challenge to the citizens of Douglas, as every other community in the land.


How much is the educational training of the boys and girls in Douglas worth to you?


It would seem to your superintendent that in the days when seeds of treason are being sown all over the world against a free people, that we cannot afford to be indifferent to the financial needs of our schools, which have long been the cornerstone of our way of life.


. It will take more sixty cent dollars to pay for our schools, just as for every other commodity.


82


ANNUAL REPORT


It is of interest to consider the recommendations made in the years 1947, 48, and 49, and the progress or lack of it which has been made in these respects. In these reports, I made the following spe- cific observations about our needs:


(1) A better-unified school program.


(2) An enriched curriculum.


(3) Improvement of learning and instruction by means of in- creased scientific supervision and greater consideration of individual differences.


(4) A dental clinic.


(5) Art supervision.


(6) Physical education.


(7) More science on the junior high level.


(8) Improvement of the playground at the East Douglas ele- mentary school.


(9) Improvement of lighting at the East Douglas school.


(10) A long range building program.


(11) Testing program.


(12) Improved salaries.


A reasonable amount of progress has been made in the direction of these specific recommendations and we hope the years to come will see all of them incorporated.


The policy of replacing text-books has been going forward, and certain replacements in the secondary school should complete the project this year.


THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOLS IN THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY


The past two decades have been marked by a succession of National Emergencies. In this greatest of all emergencies it is time for those who hold positions of public trust in the American Edu- cational system to give sane leadership and democratic direction. Indeed, we need to re-evaluate the role of the public schools.


Education which will equip citizens to deal intelligently with the complex problems of the age is what we must have if we are to prosper or even survive economic, military, and political onslaughts. But what kind of education? What can and should be done by the schools to improve the quality of citizenship?


1/ Obviously, no problem stands ready for solution till it be fully understood. And understanding comes not through casual inspec- tion, but concentrated attention. Immediate study, thorough and critical, must be made of it. Here is where the schools can do much. The school has within its power to set all its young people at such


83


TOWN OF DOUGLAS


studies. American citizens in the mass should be grappling with the problems which weigh upon their country and the world. The schools already have made great progress in this direction. As a result, American citizens have a far better understanding of public prob- lems than they had a generation ago.


Conscientious schools will not be content with merely exposing students to facts and opinions related to great problems. They will go further, and try to get students into permanent habits of politi- cal sudy. So the student may be fostered in such habits as these:


Reading: Not mere quantity reading, but wide, varied, thought- ful reading.


Critical thinking: Not a shallowy critical attitude producing doubt and confusion in the mind, but a logical discipline enabling one to distinguish between sophistry and sound evidence.


Discussion: Not argumentation for the sake of overcoming op- ponents, but open-minded cooperation and search for truth through discussion.


Action: Not ill-considered action in response to unformed emo- tion, but clear-headed support of measures and causes after deli- berative weighing of issues.


A double job, then, faces the schools. First, they must focus attention on the present. They must see to it that students consider the facts about the great problems of the day, and learn to form opinions in light of evidence. Second, they must teach current prob- lems so as to promote effective methods and habits of thought and study; methods the use of which will be continued in later years. Introduction of current history courses on a more wide-spread basis is therefore indicated.


2/ It is still true that the human factor is of supreme importance in all of our present day educational relationships, and that no- where is this truth more evident than in the influence of the teacher upon his pupil. One thing we must do, then, is to keep our attitude toward children cheerful. In carrying out the drill which we must conduct in school, that they may know the ways of safety, we must attempt to keep from frightening them rather than strengthening their courage. We have always tried in our educational system to teach them to care for themselves under whatever conditions may arise; this is just a time for being extra careful. We must give them faith and trust in themselves and in those in authority; their teach- ers and the police. Our aim is not to make their lives miserable with fear, but stronger with inspiration. We are Americans; and as such cannot, will not, surrender to fear or to evil,
