Since weather reports are not always reliable, and because the School Department wishes to render maximum educational service by having schools open the greatest number of days, storm signals will not be used when there is reasonable doubt. Weather conditions may warrant the non-attendance of certain pupils who at the moment lack normal health. This would tend to make it advisable for par- ents to keep the child at home.
Good health is essential to sound education. Care for your child's health by keeping him at home when in your opinion as a parent his health interest would be best served.
For admission to the first grade in the schools of Douglas, the parent or guardian must present a birth certificate showing that the pupil is at least 5 years, 9 months old on September 1st of the cur- rent year.

TOWN OF DOUGLAS
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
December 26, 1956
To the Members of the School Committee:
I submit my first annual report as Superintendent of the Douglas Public Schools.
The major problem facing the administration at the present time is planning the educational offering in the Junior-Senior High School with the advent of the new addition, to the High School. Many separate questions will arise which must be settled prior to comple- tion of this addition, namely:
EDUCATIONAL OFFERING
Many changes in the curriculum should now be planned. They can better be solved by the revision and addition of certain courses of study planned to prepare students in specific training for collegi- ate education or placement in industry at the conclusion of the twelfth year of school. In connection with these plans the course of study in English should be offered in two sections from grades seven through twelve under the trained leadership of two teachers. The course in College English should have different materials and standards from the course in General English.
Home economics will be available to the girls from grades seven through twelve in graduated and continuing curricula.
In the field of physical education, the gymnasium will allow the discontinuance of travel to Whitinsville for boys' basketball, with the resultant saving in transportation and gymnasium hire. It will also allow for the organization of a girls' athletic program which is sorely needed. The greatest benefit should be in an all-inclusive program of physical education for all students of the Junior-Senior High School, where physical coordination, grace, good sportsmanship and poise will be the resultant product.
The one problem which has not as yet been solved, is the ques- tion of general shop for the boys. This, I hope, will be taken care of in some manner, as yet not decided upon.
The assembly hall will permit the student body to meet for cul- tural and general information assemblies, which can be organized on a long range planned program.
8
ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT
The cafeteria will permit the serving of a hot lunch program, under the supervision and financial assistance of the State and Federal Government. This program I hope, can be so organized as to be of no financial burden to the Town of Douglas. The resultant hot lunches should increase the mental and physical well being of the student body. The question of the availability of these facilities to the students of the East Douglas Elementary School should be de- cided as soon as possible.
EDUCATIONAL STAFF
The question of the educational staff raises a number of serious problems, if maximum efficiency of the new building is to be realized. At least one new member should be added and a general reassign- ment of subject matter will be necessary with the present staff of ten teachers to cover all of the new offerings which should be made available to the student body.
MAINTENANCE
The physical improvement to our present buildings should be planned as a long range program, doing those things most urgent first. I recommend the replacement to the lighting fixtures in the present high school building with fluorescent lights to provide suf- ficient illumination. At present the foot candles of light available at the desk level is seriously inadequate. Two of the present High School rooms should be painted this summer. In the East Douglas Elementary School the present program should be continued, in that, new linoleum floors and movable furniture be added to two rooms on the second floor. The main hall on the first floor needs a new covering to match the present four rooms on that level. I also recommend that a qualified person be engaged to inspect and do the necessary work to put the roof in a tight and safe condition. The present roof presents a problem of safety to children playing on the school grounds in its present condition.
The problem of the boiler in the High School will be solved I hope, with the planned addition to the present building. The report of the contractor who has worked on the plant in recent years indi- cates that its present condition is not satisfactory.
I refer you to the reports of the several departments for addi- tional information concerning the status of and plans for the future.
I wish to thank the members of the School Committee and faculty of the School Department for their very fine cooperation, without which little could be accomplished. I also desire to acknowl- edge the support and help of the Town officials, parents, community organizations and custodial staff which are gratefully received.
Respectfully submitted,
H. DEANE HOYT, Superintendent of Schools

ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT
Again this year we are practicing and playing basketball at the Whitin Community Gym. We are playing a full schedule of about 18 games. Some 25 boys are participating in the playing and practicing. Next year we hope to get into a Basketball League of teams our own size. Mr. Robert Kirby is the basketball coach.
In baseball in 1956, we finished in a tie for first place in the Western Worcester County Baseball League. We lost the champion- ship in a play-off game. Mr. Lawrence Wheater is the baseball coach.
During 1956 our testing program was as follows: The Junior class had the Boston University Battery of Tests; the 7th and 8th grades were given Stanford Achievement Tests; the Senior class was given the Division of Employment Security General Aptitude Battery by the State Employment Office, represented by Miss Jennie Hol- brook; all students 7th through 12th were given SRA Reading Tests.

ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT
REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
Douglas, Mass. January 10, 1957
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The following is my eighteenth annual report as School Nurse in the Town of Douglas.
It is well recognized that an organized approach is needed to deal effectively with school health programs and services. School health is concerned with and dependent upon the health in the total community. The Public Health Nurse, rendering school health serv- ices must work in a "team", which includes the school Administrator, the teacher, the principal, the school physician, the family physician and the parents for the betterment of the health of the child. The nurse is the connecting link between the school medical service and the home. Mental hygiene is an integral part of the general program of the Public Health Nurse. It permeates all phases of her work, particularly through early age groups. It is necessary for her to be cognizant of the principals of psychology and understand normal and abnormal variations in human behavior. She should be alert to recognize the early symptoms of definite mental deficiencies in a child and be familiar with the resources at her command for the early diagnosis and treatment of children who manifest abnormal behavior and should aid in securing proper care for them.
Having served the community in a generalized nursing program during these past years gives me the experience of facing up to the actual health status of our schools. Our School Health Program is fortunately almost everybody's business and many people are working diligently at the job. Probably because of the approach to improv- ing school health, we have been able to involve the women volunteers who assist with the vision and hearing testing, immunization clinics, transportation to clinics, hospitals, field trips, etc. The cooperation from the entire school personnel, the school physician and last but not least the parents, has encouraged me to improve upon the total school health program.
In order that the child receive the greatest benefit possible from the available services, each member of the health team must share knowledge concerning the child and his problem. The objective today is to have the parents present at the health examination. If the parent is unable to be present, the nurse interprets the health findings of the examination to the parent in the home.

HEALTH EXAMINATIONS
Written invitations are sent to parents to attend the examina- tion of their child. The appointment system is used. It is most gratifying to see the number present at these examinations increas- ing each year. There were 155 children examined in the elementary grades. There were 126 parents present or 82%. This does not in- clude entering school children who are examined at the Well Child Conferences. The Well Child Conference Report may be found in my report to the Board of Health. On the secondary level, 76 pupils were examined. Six parents were present for these exams. It is felt that on this level the average pupils do not need their parents present for the examination. The total number examined by the school physician was 231. Twelve were examined by their own fam- ily physician. The total number of children found to have physical defects, including dental, was 87 (Elementary 66; Secondary 21).

The number of children referred for further diagnosis or treat- ment was twenty. The dental defects already under treatment were fifty-seven ,and the other defects under treatment, fifteen. Written notices of the results of these examinations are sent to the parents.
VISION TESTING
The Massachusetts Vision Test was used in screening the vision of the children on the Secondary Level. Pupils in the Elementary grades have not been tested this term. The total number tested was 179. The number retested was 30. The number failing the test was 25. Of the children who failed the test, the total number seen by an eye specialist was 23.
EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN
An annual census of physically handicapped children is required by the State Department of Education and the State Department of Public Health. This year's census shows that we have 32 physically handicapped children in this community. Many of these children are registered with the State Crippled Children's Clinic in Worcester. All of them are either attending a clinic or are under the supervi- sion of their own family physician or specialist. One child is attend- ing the Cerebral Palsy Day School in Worcester. Two children are attending the Speech Clinic in Worcester.
18
ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT
Penicillin prescribed by the physician for the rheumatic fever cases is made available at a very moderate price through the co- operation of the Worcester Branch of the American Heart Associa- tion. We have six known rheumatic fever cases under treatment. The nurse does the follow-up recommended on these cases. The State Physiotherapist makes periodic visits on those children with ortho- pedic defects.
Several children have been recommended to the Youth Guidance Clinic in Worcester. This Clinic has too large a case load to take on any of the children from this area. The only facility available in this area now is the Youth Guidance Department under the Cath- olic Diocese of Worcester which handles all cases regardless of reli- gious affiliations.
HOME NURSING
Twelve girls in Senior High School received Red Cross Certifi- cates in Home Nursing at the Class Day Exercises in June. Two credits are given for this course, which includes 40 hours of theory and practice. Health Education is correlated with this course. Field trips were taken to a pasteurizing plant. Other field trips were con- celled due to the pressure of the Polio Vaccination Program.
EDUCATION IN HEALTH
The nurse acts as a consultant to the teachers in all matters pertaining to health. Health education is integrated by the teachers into the regular program. It should be furthered in individual conferences with pupils and parent. The teacher makes curriculum adjustments for handicapped children when necessary. Health edu- cation materials are made available to the teachers through the medium of health films, posters, pamphlets, books, etc. Speakers for Junior and Senior High School Assemblies were secured on several occasions.
The report on communicable disease control, polio vaccination, and the immunization clinic may be found in my report to the Board of Health.
The Tuberculosis Patch Testing Program had to be cancelled temporarily due to the time involved in the Polio Vaccination Clinics.
For professional improvement I attended a series of lectures in Worcester for Public Health Nurses sponsored by the State De- partment of Public Health. I attended important Health Meetings recommended by the Department of Education and Health.
I wish to express my appreciation to you, Mr. Hoyt, the School Committee, Dr. Spooner, the volunteers who assist with vision test- ing, dental examinations, and many other projects, and to all the parents, principals, and teachers for their efforts in promoting better health for this community.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Singletary Avenue Sutton, Massachusetts January 2, 1957
To the Superintendent of Schools:
This is my sixth annual report as part time Supervisor of Music for the schools of East Douglas.
I would like to say that I have enjoyed a very pleasant relation- ship with the teachers in the elementary grades during the past year, who have devoted time, effort, and interest toward making music assume its proportionate place in the general advancement of educa- tion. It is very satisfying to work in an atmosphere of cooperation.
The students of grades five and six have expressed a genuine enthusiasm for a selected glee club, which has been organized for about six weeks. It is expected that the group will serve the com- munity when desired, as well as promote some new interest in music as they continue through school.
At the junior high level, the glee club is working on an operetta to be presented in the spring. The general music classes are doing as much as possible during the one period a week allotted them, in a brief survey of the history of music, plus listening appreciation.
It is hoped that the efforts being made by all concerned will be rewarded by worthwhile secondary school activities in the years ahead. The high school population have the talent and ability to perform well as a glee club. Perhaps the termination of this year will find such a group in operation.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES W. MCCABE, Supervisor of Music

ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ART
To the Superintendent of Schools:
Please accept my annual report as Supervisor of Drawing in the Public Schools of Douglas.
Children, especially elementary school age, find pleasure in their drawing classes as they love to create and to feel that they are doing things with their own hands. Art educators are aware that art is inseparable from life, that it is an integral part of all things we do and is interlocked with all our activities. This philosophy has been a part of art education programs for many years. To guide children to not only create as individuals but to pool their creative powers and to work co-operatively is an excellent way to promote good fellowship.
Group work has been successfully carried out in some of our classes while studying different forms of Indian life. Board murals and panels take on added interest when several children have a part in creating them. Many of our art lessons are closely correlated with history, geography, reading, etc. This past year pupils from several class rooms took part in the annual "Be Kind to Animals" poster contest and received various awards of merit.
However, creative work alone is not enough. The study of color; the making of orderly designs; the drawing and painting of flowers, leaves or fruits; learning to measure letters and to cut them free hand-all these things have their place in our art work.
