Report of Music Supervisor


Mr. L. A. Merritt.


The following is a report of the special work in music for the school year beginning September, 1926.


Although this report covers only a very short period of time, I feel that we have accomplished a good bit of work. All rooms have competent teachers, which means a great deal to the success of any school project.


The song work has been most enjoyable and real progress has been made. In additin to this we have spent a great deal of time on theory, that the children might be able to work with as little assistance as possible from the teachers.


The special work with the Glee Club has resulted in some very creditable three-part singing. The girl work faithfully and the public performances they have given, are proof of their ability.


At Christmas time the pupils of the Grammar school at Haydenville gave at the Club Hall a cantata, "Tables Turned," before a large and appreciative audience. At the same time the pupils at Williamsburg gave the canta- ta, "The Secret of Happiness." This was enjoyed by an audience that filled the Assembly Hall. At Mountain Street, although a small number of pupils are in attend- ance, a very pretty Christmas play was presented.


78


These entertainments, with the work of the Glee Club and of the High School Chorus at Assemblies are demonstrations of our music, but I most cordially invite you to visit at any time the class rooms where the real study of music takes place.


In closing I wish to thank the school officials, teachers and pupils for their interest and co-operation in my work.


Respectfully submitted, ALICE G. LEDUC, Supervisor of Music.

Report of School Physician


Mr. L. A .Merritt,


Superintendent of Schools.


Dear Sir :- I submit herewith my annual report as School Physician for the Village of Haydenville : Pupils examined, 224


Cases of malnutrition,


4


Cases of diseased tonsils,


12


Number of pupils with bad teeth,


26


Respectfully,


CHARLES H. WHEELER, M. D.


The attention of the School Physician is usually fo- cused on the child's head, and properly so, as here most of the troubles of childhood show themselves. Here the ex- aminer can see at a glance the condition of the hair, skin, eyes, nose, ears, tongue, teeth, tonsils, adenoids, etc. It is safe to say that nine tenths of the illnesses of children are infections caused by germs that get into the body through the mouth or nose. Such diseases as diphtheria, scarlet fever, mumps, measles, whooping cough, tubercu- losis, influenza, and common colds are air borne diseases and they invade the body through the mouth or nose, hence the importance that the mucus membranes of mouth, nose and throat should be in a sound condition, as it is reasonable that a diseased mucus membrane is more likely to be infected than a sound one. Eventually these germs get into the blood and are carried to different parts of the body in the circulation and then they begin to do their own particular kinds of mischief. Some land in the


80


heart, others in the joints and some in the kidneys. Heart disease, rheumatism, Bright's disease and even appendici- . tis may be traced to head infections. Myriads of disease germs live in infected noses, diseased tonsils, teeth and adenoids. When a person coughs or sneezes droplets of saliva fly off into the air and with them go the germs, breathing which one may get some infection. Whooping cough and measles are good examples of this. A child coming down with these diseases usually coughs a few days before the disease actually shows itself. And this is the time when they are spread and why they are so infec- tious.


Diseased tonsils are perhaps the most frequent men- ace we find in our school work. Everyone is familiar with the attacks of tonsilitis some children have; and tonsilitis is a serious illness, as we never know where it will stop. We have in mind many cases of tonsilitis which were fol- lowed by inflammatory rheumatism, organic disease of heart. One case in particular had in addition to the rheu- matism and heart trouble, pleurisy with effusion of water into the pleural cavities. This child was ill for months and will have a damaged heart through life.


A child with enlarged tonsils and adenoids is never perfectly well. He does not grow as other children do. He is apt to keep his mouth open all the time, which gives him a stupid look, and he is usually backward in his school work. After the operation for tonsils and adenoids there is usually an immediate improvement in health and ap- pearance. For these reasons I would especially urge par- ents to have their children's throats cleaned up if they need it. Many have done so, but there are some that need this attention. It will cost some money, but no more than you might have to pay the doctor for treating a case of infected throat. A child who has had tonsilitis is very likely to have it again repeatedly.


Respectfully submitted,


J. G. HAYES, M. D.
