REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE

156
TOWN OF LINCOLN
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the Lincoln School Committee:
Respectfully submitted herewith is my eighth annual re- port as Superintendent of Schools.
Changes in Personnel
September, 1936, was marked by the largest number of changes in teaching personnel during my tenure. The fol- lowing teachers were elected to fill vacancies created by resignations :
Grade two, Miss Villette Powers Grade three, Miss Elizabeth S. E. Cox
Grade five, Miss May V. Neilson Junior High, Mr. Frederick E. Shipp
Transportation
Four busses now transport 195 pupils or 85% of the total enrollment. Three of these busses make two trips each morning and afternoon. The total mileage covered daily is 96.3.
Report Cards
We used this fall a new type report card in grades five and six. This card contains the mark given in subject matter and the comments of the teacher on the work habits, attitude, and deficiencies of the pupil. In grade four no marks are given but comments are made by the teachers who have the pupil in his various subjects. It is our aim to make these comments as specific and helpful as possible both to the pupil and the parents.
These new report cards have been received favorably by the pupils and parents.
Membership
On another page will be found a table showing membership by age and grade as of October first.
157
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Open House
On November 13, we held our second annual Open House to which we invited all the people of the Town. Over three hundred people accepted our invitation to meet the teachers and view the work which was displayed. This show of interest must help the pupil by bringing about a better understanding between home and school.
I am grateful to your Committee for the favorable action taken on many of my recommendations during the past year.
Respectfully, CARL F. HOLLORAN, Superintendent of Schools.
158
TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
To the School Committee of Lincoln :
A report of school nursing for the year ending December 31, 1936, is hereby submitted.
Schools have been visited daily.
There have been 304 office calls for treatment or advice; 111 pupils have been taken home from school; 113 home visits have been made to check on absent pupils; and 24 visits with pupils were made to the doctor's office or hospital clinics.
I assisted Doctor Wood with the yearly physical examina- tion of each pupil, and weighed and measured each pupil . four times during the year. Scalps were examined frequently.
In May the annual Summer-Round-Up was held. At that time 22 pre-school children were weighed and measured, and given a physical examination by Doctor Wood.
The Diphtheria toxin-antitoxin was given by Doctor Wood to 19 pre-school children and the Schick Test to 15 pre-school children.
The Von Pirquet Test was given by Doctor Martin, from the Middlesex Sanitorium, to the 39 pupils of the 7th and 8th grades.
The Lincoln Dental Committee, Mrs. Robert Loring, Chairman, conducted a Dental Clinic two mornings each week with Dr. William Cosgrove of Lexington as dentist. Eighty-nine per cent received dental certificates either from the clinic or their family dentist. The Lincoln Red Cross was most generous in providing for dental work on many children.
Respectfully submitted,
MARIAN N. OBER, R.N., School Nurse.
