RECOMMENDATIONS
In addition to the High School addition, featured earlier in this report, attention is again called to the need of providing in the near future for more and bet- ter housing at the South and Plains districts.
Attention is also again called to the State mandate for atypical classes in towns and cities having more than ten pupils three or more years retarded. Milford has a list several times as large as is necessary to qualify.
The manual training system in the middle and up- per grades remaining in statu quo, and the injustice to the boys who have no manual work provided, remains.
The growth of school enrollment has necessitated a second drawing supervisor. That situation was cleared up at the beginning of the present school year. A similar situation is becoming more and more evident in the matter of school music.
I am sure, gentlemen of the committee, that you are fully alive to all the problems that are facing the department and it remains only for the public to be- come fully sensible of the situation, as you are, to se- cure general and hearty cooperation in realizing the needs of the children of Milford.
In conclusion, I thank you heartily, for myself and my co-workers, for your patience and consideration during another year, and I am indebted to my associates for continued cooperation under increasing difficulties, -all of which is respectfully submitted.
ALMORIN O. CASWELL, Superintendent of Schools.

Report of School Physicians.
To the School Committee :
The tables which follow give the results of the yearly inspection of the pupils in our schools for the year 1924. A comparison of the figures here given with those of previous years will show that we have at least some reasons for encouragement.
Table I-Showing the Grade of the Defects:
Prim. Gram. High Total P.C.
Whole number of pupils 1309
1016 445 2770
Number having no no- ticeable defects
130

Number having only slight defects 390

Table II-Showing the Nature of the Defects : Prim. Gram. High Total P.C.
Whole number of pupils 1309

1471 53%
Number having mis-
cellaneous defects 72

169
6%
Table III-Showing the Comparative Weight of the Pupils :
Whole number of pupils weighed 2642
Number of normal weights (from 10 pounds below to
10 pounds above the normal average) 2294 87 % Number of underweights (more than 10 pounds below the normal average) 296 11%
48
Number of overweights (more than 10 pounds above the normal average) 52 2%
A comparison of the reports for the past 14 years will show that the proportion of those having no notice- able defects, or what we call normals, in 1911 was 9% ; from 1911 to 1922 inclusive, 12% ; in 1923, 14% ; and for the year, 1924, 22%. The very encouraging im- provement shown in this year's report, and to some ex- tent in last year's, seems to be due largely to two things : The first of these is the work of the school nurse, who has cooperated in every way with teachers and physi- cians, and has succeeded in securing a good degree of interest on the part of the parents in matters pertain- ing to the health of their children. She has been untir- ing in her efforts, and the results are each year more apparent. The second element is the dental clinic, which has now been in operation long enough to show appreciable results. These were especially evident this year in the eighth grade pupils, who showed a much larger proportion of normals, and especially great gen- eral improvement in the condition of the teeth, over anything we have found in any previous year.
A long-felt need has recently been supplied by the election of a physical director for our schools. Regu- lar and systematic exercise will soon be provided under competent supervision, and improved health is sure to follow.
Some of the classes are still too much crowded and some of the sanitary arrangements are still antiquated and inadequate, but the remedy for these evils is a prob- lem in finance which we believe the town is doing its best to solve, with good prospects for success in the near future.

CLASS ODE. (Tune: Materna). A sigh floats out upon the breeze, A teardrop dims the eye ; A softened tone steals o'er the voice, As parting fast draws nigh. Behind us happy yesterday's, Before, the future bright ; Above, our Alma Mater dear, On this, our parting night.
And mem'ries sweet of days gone by Refresh the grieving heart ; We've conquered all, we're free at last In life to take our part. Oh, let us now sing joyful songs ! And let us now be gay ! To win its crown life summons us Along a flow'ry way.
We answer with our soul's own pledge, We'll give our best to life ; We'll fight and win the battles hard, We'll conquer in the strife. And Alma Mater, though we're far From your dear arms' embrace, Our deeds and words to life's own end Your laurel crown shall grace.
