REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIANS.


Haydenville, Mass., Oct. 29, 1912.


Mr. E. W. Goodhue,


Superintendent of Schools.


Dear Sir :


I present herewith my annual report as School Physician.


Total number of pupils examined, 216


Number of cases of decayed teeth, noted as bad, 22


Number of cases decayed teeth, noted as poor, 58


Number of cases adenoids and enlarged tonsils, 32


Number of cases peiculi capitis, 14


Number of cases defective nutrition and development, 4 Number of cases not vaccinated, 5


Respectfully submitted,


C. H. WHEELER, M. D.,


School Physician.


Mr. E. W. Goodhue, Superintendent of Schools.


Dear Sir :


In presenting my report as School Physician, allow me to call attention to the fact that there was. a very noticeable im- provement in the condition of the pupils examined by me at the opening of the present school year. Many of the parents have had their children's teeth attended to, and quite a number have had operations for diseased tonsils and adenoids. And there were fewer cases of pediculi capitis than ever before.


The whole number of pupils examined was, 167


Number of cases of decayed teeth, 17


Number of cases of adenoids, 4


Number of cases of diseased tonsils, 3


Number of cases of pediculosi capitis, 4


Respectfully,


J. G. HAYES, M. D.


58


REPORT OF EAR AND EYE EXAMINATION.


Number of pupils examined,


350


Number found defective in sight, 46


Number found defective in hearing, 18


Number of parents and guardians notified, 45


This report shows a gratifying decrease in the number of defective cases owing largely to the fact that many pupils have been treated for such defects. The Haydenville First Primary School is not included in above report because of the difficulty of determining accurately the condition of such small children with the appliances furnished; some others are omitted for the same reason.


Total number of pupils in town, 418


Number between the ages of 5 and 14 years,


Boys, 192


Girls, 171

Selectmen's Report


To the Citizens of Williamsburg :


- Your Selectmen herewith present their report for the year ending February 1, 1914.


Your Selectmen have kept within all the appropriations made with the exception of the Highway which they have overdrawn. This was caused by building 580 feet of Macadem Road in the Village of Haydenville. The extra amount of plank which they had to purchase amounted to about $500.00. They also repaired the sidewalks at an ex- pense of $100.00, for which there was no appropriation. The Bridge near the Library in Williamsburg was finished at a cost of $202.50 for which there was an appropriation of $200.00, which amount is included in the Highway report. The State Road is finished in the Village of Williamsburg and connected with the State Highway in Searsville. The 580 feet of Macadem Road in Haydenville was a much needed improvement and is much appreciated by the people of Haydenville and all others who travel over it.


The following is a list of the appropriations for the year 1913, with the expenditures under the different heads.
