five times, and much drill is provided. Every pupil is al- lowed to put all of his efforts on words that present some particular difficulty for him. Tests given at Christmas time showed every class average to be much higher than it was a year ago. The work in spelling has been greatly improved by this change.


Under my direction the school nurse with the aid of the teachers is making a study of the causes of absence. Each illness is listed, and records kept. At the end of the year a chart will be made showing the total number of absences and the percentages for each cause of absence. It is hoped that suggestions can be drawn from this chart for the reduction in the number of absences due to sick- ness. The work in health teaching will no doubt be helped by this plan.


After a conference with Mr. Frank P. Morse, Super- visor of Secondary education, and a meeting of the School Committee, changes were made in the high school which added to the high school program the course in occupa- tional civics. This is a study of the various occupations that our boys or girls might take up in later life, and serves indirectly as a vocational guidance course. Com- mercial arithmetic has also been added to the program. A rule was adopted by which it is possible now for any boy or girl to graduate from the high school without having studied any foreign language. This was done in order to make the high school a school for all types of children.


In closing permit me to thank the School Committee and all others for their help and co-operation during the year of 1925.


Respectfully submitted,


L. A. MERRITT,


Superintendent of Schools.


Report of School Nurse


Mr. L. A. Merritt and Members of the School Board.


Following is a brief report of Nursing in the schools of the town.


An average of five days a month is devoted to school nursing. In the course of the year the children have been weighed two times ; the under-weight four times.


A Chest Clinic under the direction of the State De- partment and the Hampshire County public Health As- sociation was conducted in our town in November. It was quite an undertaking, weighing and measuring and making home visits. The total number of under-weight and tubercular contact children examined being 70.


A diphtheria clinic was conducted in June in Hayden- ville and Williamsburg. About 89 children were pro- tected against this dreadful disease. Dr. J. G. Hayes and Dr. C. Wheeler gave the injections.


A Dental Clinic under the direction of the Red Cross and the services of Dr. Sherwood is conducted in our schools every year. It is a great advantage to our school children. It has made it possible for our school children to have their teeth examined and taken care of at very reasonable rates. It seems a very necessary branch in our health plans as bad teeth will lead to so many diseases.


Mrs. LaValley assists Dr. Sherwood in Williamsburg and I assist him in Haydenville.

105 home visits were made. These visits have been made to explain to the parents the necessity of correcting the defects found at the annual physical examination and also to obtain the consent of the parent to have the chil- dren examined in the Chest Clinic.


175 dressings. A few first aid dressings and several cases of impetigo.


Eye and ear test to all pupils once a year. Assisted Dr. Hayes and Dr. Wheeler with the annual physical ex- amination.


All pupils vaccinated with the exception of three or four. These pupils have obtained certificates from a phy- sician.


I have given health talks and distribute health liter- ature. I have loaned Theresa Dansdill's Health Training in Schools to the teachers and we believe it is a very good help in the teaching of health to our children. Therefore our School Committee has decided to have a copy for each class-room.


In closing I wish to thank the Superintendent, School Committee, the teachers and the parents for their interest and co-operation in the work.

Report of Music Supervisor


Mr. L. A. Merritt,


Herewith I submit a brief resume of the special work in music in our schools for the year 1925-1926.


The progress in music continues in the same satisfac- tory way, and it is needless for me to detail our general work. Our lesson plans and course of study have been carefully followed and carried out with the assistance of very competent grade teachers. Sight reading, theory and voice training have been our aims and so that the theoretical part may not become monotonous. Many wrote songs for the lower grades and songs suitable for different occasions and seasons of the year are inter- mingled.


Each year at Christmas time a musical operetta of some sort is presented. This year at Williamsburg "Santa and the Givers" a Christmas operetta by M. Isa- belle Ritter was given in the Helen James Hall at the closing of school before the Christmas holidays. About fifty children from the grades assisted. At Haydenville, "Santa at Sea" by E. Duncan-Yale was presented on the evening of December 22. This was enjoyed by an au- dience which filled the Club Hall. About forty children took part in this operetta.


74


The latter part of March, 1925, the High School pre- sented the romantic musical comedy by Dodge, "The Gypsy Rover." This was played successfully two eve- nings in succession at the Town hall,-but not without much difficulty, however, due to the illness of the leading lady, whose part was substituted by one who had recently acted the part in the "Gypsy Rover" given by the West Springfield High School. At a later date in the school year, it was decided to give the operetta a third time, having our own leading lady in the cast, and this time was equally successful.


The High School orchestra under the leadership of Mr. John Bauer, is doing splendid work and furnishes music for school purposes, and also, occasionally for or- ganization outside of the High School.


I think it will be unnecessary for me to say more about our work, but I would like to invite any one who may be interested, to visit our music classes at any time.


And now it is my pleasure to thank you, the school committee, teachers and pupils, for your co-operation.


Very respectfully, C. RUTH WARNER,


Music Supervisor.


Report of School Physicians


Mr. L. A. Merritt,


Superintendent of Schools.

The number of ill nourished children, 3


The number of notices sent to parents of children needing special attention, 30


Respectfully submitted,


J. G. HAYES, M. D.


The health work in the schools is largely prophylatic or preventive. This is always the aim of health workers- prevention rather than cure. There are at least three common diseases that may be prevented, small-pox, typ- hoid fever and diphtheria. One of these is already taken care of, as the state law provides that all children be vac- cinated against small-pox before entering school. This law is adhered to quite rigidly in this town and 95 per


76


cent of the pupils are vaccinated before the end of the first month in school. There is only a small per cent of people opposed to this measure. Those who have arrived from Europe in recent years have been the most anxious to have their children vaccinated, because the law there required vaccination before the age of six months.


The other two diseases, typhoid fever and diphtheria might be made as rare as small-pox. In this town, owing to the pure water supply, there have been only a few cases of typhoid during the last twenty years. However, with the vast movement of people from place to place, as is common at the present day, it is neglectful of one's health not to be immunized against typhoid fever. 'All soldiers of all the great armies taking part in the late war were inoculated against the germ of typhoid, with the result that the disease is practically negligible in an army. A young man entering a training camp must be im- munized before going to camp.


Diphtheria is the third preventable disease, but more in the lime light at present than either of the other two, because of the Schick test which is new and which has had great publicity during the last few years through its use in the schools to determine whether or not a child is naturally immune to the disease. This test consists in injecting into the skin a small amount of the test fluid and is painless. If a red spot occurs at the site of injection in three or four days, the child is susceptible to diphtheria and should be protected by injections of toxin-antitoxin. It is worthy of note that since this test was used in Wil- liamsburg in May 1921 followed by toxin-antitoxin for those who needed it, there have been only six cases of diphtheria where previously from one to thirteen cases were cared for every year.


A better understanding of disease, together with edu- cation, has increased the average span of human life by over twenty years during the last three generations, and it may be increased still more than that in the future if


77


people wish to co-operate with health agencies now func- tioning.


In this connection it should be stated that there is a serum for the treatment of scarlet fever which is of un- doubted value, although its value as a preventive is un- determined.


Aside from impetige contagiosa, there have been no contagious diseases in the Haydenville schools this year. Although there are several cases of bad teeth and malnu- trition and infected tonsils, I find the pupils in general in good health. A few cases of deformity are being taken care of at hospitals.
