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 mo- ment lack normal health. This would tend to make it advisable for parents 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.
The School Committee has voted that the entrance age to grade one shall be six years of age by December 31st of the year they enter

school. Those pupils whose birthday falls between January 1st and February 28th may request a test to determine the child's readiness for school. Such tests will be administered under the supervision of Miss Samborski. The results of the test shall be final in determining the acceptability of the child tested to grade one.
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
I herewith submit my seventh annual report as Superintendent of Schools for the Town of Douglas. I wish to extend my thanks for the cooperation I have received which has made possible any im- provement that has been accomplished.
Professional Improvement
Through the cooperation of the State Department of Education, a course in the New Concept of Mathematics is being given at the Douglas High School for teachers of this area. Some of the person- nel of the Douglas Ssystem are taking this course in preparation of a revision of our mathematics program.
Budget
During the present year the State Legislature voted to increase the minimum salary for teaching personnel from $4000 to $4500 ef- fective January 1, 1963. This has necessarily had an effect on the 1963 School Budget as it was necssary to increase those teachers below the minimum and also to place the teachers who have been in service in Douglas a number of years to their proper place in reference to the new State minimum. Economies in other cate- gories have been made to keep the increase, in the total budget, to a figure as low as possible consistent with efficiency.
Changes in Personnel
Mr Kirwin Matthews, teacher of Social Studies and Coach of basketball, resigned during the summer, to teach in the Worcester School System. Mr. Paul Welcome was appointed varsity coach of basketball to replace Mr. Matthews.
Miss Alva Magnusson, a 1962 graduate of Clark University, was appointed to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Matthews' resignation in Social Studies.
8
ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT
Mrs. Paul Desjourdy replaced Mrs. Matthew Towle, who resigned as typing teacher.
Evaluation
During the present school year the faculty of the High School have been preparing for an Evaluation by the New England Associa- tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools. This will take place during the Spring of 1963. Successful passing of this Evaluation is neces- sary for the proper acceptance of graduates of the High School in the colleges which they desire to enter.
Revision of Courses of Study
Meetings were held during the Fall to re-write the High School Course of Studies. The initial step was taken in the field of English. A tape recorder was purchased to properly teach the oral part of English.
Physical Improvements
During the current year a number of improvements were made in the physical plant, namely:
1. Rebuilding of stoker at East Douglas Elementary School.
2. Hard-topping of parking area at East Douglas Elemen- tary School.
3. Fluorescent lights at Douglas Center School.
4. Repiping the chemistry laboratory at the High School.
5. Painting of corridors at East Douglas Elementary School.
6. Repair of boiler at the High School.
7. Resurfacing parking lot at High School.

East Douglas Elementary School
In September 1962, a change was made in the Reading Program in grade one. The Row-Peterson Reading Program was started. This program includes the Triple Teaching plan which consists of separate teaching plans for the superior, average, and immature groups. This program also includes phonics, word structure, and con- text clues to discover the pronunciation and meaning of words.
The Row-Peterson Reading Program will be continued in the second grade next year.
To get a better understanding of the new reading series, all the East Douglas Elementary teachers attended a Row-Peterson Read- ing Workshop in Sutton in September 1962.
Due to the resignations of Mrs. John Newton and Mrs. Laval Provencher, the Elementary School is without the services of art and music supervisors. Art and music lessons are, nevertheless, conducted regularly by the classroom teachers.
For the purpose of evaluation of individual student progress, the following testing program was used.
1. Iowa Basic Skills-Grades five and six-given in May 1962.
2. Metropolitan Achievement Tests-Grades one, two, three and four-given in May 1962.
3. California I.Q. Tests-Grades one and four-given in September 1962.
4. Reading Readiness Tests-Grade one-given in Septem- ber 1962.
Douglas Center School
The goal of our teachers is to give to each child systematic in- struction and training which will develop the general and special abilities of his mind. Through the use of the Readiness Test we measure the child's ability in terms of experience. The Row-Peter- son Reading Program which was placed in our first grade this fall,
11
TOWN OF DOUGLAS
not only measures the child's experiences but provides the necessary materials, charts, workbooks and texts, to broaden that experience in preparation for formal reading.
California I.Q. Tests have been given in grades one and four.
Metropolitan Achievement Tests were given in all grades in May.
We have been aware for some time that the lighting in our class rooms was somewhat less than adequate. We are most gratified with the new lights which were installed last summer.
Visiting Night for parents was well attended. We welcome any opportunity which is the means of creating understanding between the home and the school.
Many parents, grandparents and pre-school brothers and sisters accepted the invitation extended by Mrs. Kelly, to join the children at lunch during the National School Lunch Program week. The cafeteria service is most satisfactory and is well attended.
We are sorry to be without the services of Mrs. Murphy, our first and second grade teacher, who is taking a leave of absence be- cause of illness. We wish her a speedy recovery. During her ab- sence Mrs. Fulton is ably substituting for her.
Respectfully submitted,
H. DEANE HOYT,

ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
I herewith submit my twenty-third annual report as School Nurse in the Public Schools of Douglas.
The conditions under which the pupils live in school, the help which they are given in solving their health problems, the ideals of individual and community health which are taught, the information and understanding they are given of themselves are factors which develop attitudes and behavior conducive to health, happiness and successful living. The total health of the child both physical and mental in his life situation is the objective of any school health pro- gram. Optimum health for every child is the goal the nurse sets for herself.
The following statistics point up to the citizens of Douglas, the type of program the nurse carries.
Health Examinations
Written invitations are sent to parents to attend the exam- ination of their children. The appointment system is used.
Number of children examined on elementary level 139
Number of children examined on secondary level 155
Total number of children examined by school physician 294 Number examined by private physician 9 Percent of parents present at examination 75.6
Parents of children on the secondary level are not invited to at- tend the health appraisal of their children. The percentage of par- ents attending their children's examination does not include children in the first grade as they are examined at the Well Child Conference prior to entering school. All parents attend this conference.
The following constitutes the defects found on all levels:
Number with defects 76
Number of defects (including teeth) 85
An approximate percent of defects corrected or under treatment through 1961-62 was 78%.
The Well Child Conference report and the report on Communi- cable Disease control clinics, i.e., flue vaccination and Chest X-ray for school personnel, etc., may be found in my report to the Board of Health, to which I refer you.

Home Nursing
Nine girls in the Senior High School received Red Cross Home Nursing Certificates. This course carries two credits.
Exceptional Children
The Annual Census of physically handicapped children reported to the State Department of Public Health and Education was 24. Many of this group attend the State Crippled Children's Clinic.
Psychological Testing
Three children were taken to Fernald School in Waverly, Mass., for psychometric tests and guidance and counselling. These children attend elementary school. Parents accompany their children to the clinic. Written recommendations are sent to the parents and to the school. This information is made available to the teacher and prin- cipal and superintendent.
Teeth Examination
A dental hygienist from the State Department of Public Health examined all children on the elementary level. Notices were sent home to parents whose children were referred to a dentist. The flo- lowup on this is done by the nurse.
