Schools have been visited daily.
There have been 364 office calls for treatment or ad- vice ; 45 pupils have been taken home from school; 154 home visits have been made to check on absent pupils ; and 11 visits with pupils were made to a doctor's office or Hospital clinic.
I assisted Dr. Henry Wood with the yearly physical examination of each pupil, and weighed and measured each pupil at least three times during the year.
Scalps were examined frequently.
Notice of any defect was sent home to the parents.
The children entering the first grade attended the Well Child Conference 100% ; were weighed, measured, and given a physical examination by Dr. John A. V. Davies.
All first grade pupils have had the toxoid inoculation given for prevention of diphtheria.
Four pupils were taken to the Middlesex Sanitorium for the von Pirquet test and X-ray.
The Lincoln Dental Committee, Mrs. Robert Loring, Chairman, conducted a dental clinic, the latter part of the school year, at the Center School with Dr. Norman P. Sawyer, of Newton, as dentist.
The Lincoln Red Cross was most generous in providing for dental work on many children.
The Lincoln Tuberculosis Committee provided eye glasses for two pupils, and also made it possible for one child to enjoy the entire summer at camp.
The general health of our pupils has been exceptional- ly good during the year with only a few cases of whoop-

ing-cough reported in January, and very few cases of chicken-pox reported in April.
With sincere appreciation of the help and co-operation given me by Mr. Holloran and the teachers, with whom it has been a pleasure to work.
Respectfully submitted,
