As the players are developed they are progressed to the Orchestra where they play for recreational functions and various other school activities.
On the behalf of these young instrumentalists, I wish to extend to the parents my sincere appreciation for their hearty support and encouragement in the matter of individual practice at home so necessary in the accomplishment of playing a musical instrument and to the teachers and prin- cipals to whom much credit is due for their interest and co- -operation.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE.
January 2, 1924.
Mr. C. Edward Fisher, Superintendent of Schools, Braintree, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
In accordance with your request the following report". of my work as school nurse is made. The report covers only the period since September 1923 during which I have been connected with your department, but I have also included a brief outline of the health work planned for the school year
The school health program which is planned divides itself into three phases.
1. Examination of children
(a) Weighing and measuring all school children three times during the year
(b) Physical examination of all children by school physicians once during the year
(c) Keeping individual records of the results . of these examinations
2. Communicable disease control
3. General health education
In effecting this program my schedule is so arranged that I visit two schools each day, which makes a weekly visit to each building. All of the schools have been supplied with first aid equipment and medicine cabinets, which were made by the boys of the Continuation School. All of the buildings except two are now equipped with scales. During Septem- ber and October all of the pupils were weighed and measured. In accordance with the state law which requires a physical examination of every public school child at least once during the school year, the physical examinations by the three school physicians were begun in November. The parents' permission for the examination by the school doctor was obtained for approximately 80% of the children, the others being examined by their own physicians. The majority of the examinations by the school physicians have been com ---
157
pleted. An individual record card for each child, which includes the results of weighing and measuring, the results of the physician's examination, and other data concerning the child's health record, is being kept on file in the respec- tive schools. Notification of underweight and physical defects will be sent to the parents. It is expected that these records will be permanent, passing along with the child from grade to grade.
An important part of the school nurse's work is con- ceived to be the detection and prevention of the spread of communicable diseases and minor defections among children in the schools. In the weekly visits to the schools the prin- cipals and teachers call attention to any suspicious cases. Doctor Adams, the health officer, is cooperating by sending prompt notices to me of all cases of communicable disease which are reoprted to his office. The exclusion of children with symptons suspicious of communicable disease and also of children who have been in contact with them is recommen- ded to the principal. Children found with such minor in- fections as parasites of the hair and skin infections are also excluded. Diagnoses are not made by me, but are referred to the family physician or to the school doctor. The ex- clusion of a child from school is not a pleasant task but in' general the parents are sympathetic to this action when it is explained to them that it is for the greatest good. The prevention or reducing the chances of a child's acquiring disease through the school room is important and the pos- sibilities in this service are great. It is hoped that the development of a smoothly working system will be even more effective in the future in reducing sickness and absences.
In the field of general health education, health pamplets have been distributed to the grammar grades and short talks have been made in most of the grades. The establishment of a definite program of health instruction in the regular class room work is planned for the coming year. A series of health text books on Physiology and Hygiene have been placed in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Use
158
will be made of these books in the regular class room work and I hope that I may be of assistance in planning this course with the teachers.
Each of the above services can be enlarged and improved in the future. The addition of a physical director, when feasible, will mean a great deal in the correction of physical defects and the improvement of health standards.
It has been a pleasure to have served as school nurse and my associations with the superintendent, school physicians, principals, and teachers have been most pleasant.
Respectfully submitted, MARGARET H. BALFOUR, ... School Nurse.

REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
To the Citizens of the Town of Braintree:
The Municipal Light Board submits herewith its annual report for the year 1923 together with the report of the Manager.
According to the report of the latter 1923 has been a banner year showing a consumption of about half a million more kilowatts than was used in 1922. The output of our own plant was increased 700,000 kilowatts, yet to meet the demand we were obliged to purchase 1,365,000 additional.
As stated one year ago, we can manufacture current cheaper than we can buy it, so we are extremely anxious to install this year the additional equipment that will enable us to meet all demands.
To do this we must have the help of the Town to bor- row the needed funds, and we trust this subject will meet with your favorable consideration.
We are not asking the Town to raise any part of this money by taxation, because we can meet the payments for principle and interest from the income of the Department.
CHARLES T. CRANE, A. A. CARSON, NORTON P. POTTER, Commissioners.

MANAGER'S REPORT. Braintree Light Department. Municipal Light Board, Braintree, Mass.
Gentlemen :
I have the pleasure in submitting herewith the annual report of the Braintree Electric Light Department for the year ending December 31, 1923.
This report consists of financial statement in the form prescribed by the State Department Public Utilities to whom we are required to report annually, and is in an entire- ly different form than were those you were usually presented in former years.
Our profit and loss credit surplus was increased in the past year from $78116.46 to $103042.72, Depreciation Cash was increased $5695.81, and from our earnings we have made plant additions amounting to $10,234.98.
The department has acquired (251) Two Hundred Fifty One new service connections, (98) Ninety Eight ad- ditional poles in streets not heretofore occupied, and have made (56) Fifty six pole replacements.
To equip new lines in streets (414) Four and one quarter miles of No. 6 and (1/2) One half mile of No. 4 copper wire has been used.
The three phase 2300 volt transmission line extending from the Generating Station to the junction of Middle and Elm streets, formerly constructed of No. 4 copper wire, has been replaced with No. 0, thereby increasing its capacity in excess of 100 percent, other replacements of No. 6 wire on old lines has required approximately One mile of No. 4 wire.
New service connections to houses with No. 6 wire used 16,566 feet.
Fifty Street Lights in new locations were installed in 1923,
175
and Twenty Two additional will be placed in the first six months of 1924 at the request of the Board of Selectmen, making a total of (865) Eight Hundred Sixty Five. (37) Thirty Seven "Street Fixtures" were replaced with new stock, and 4519 feet of No. 6 copper wire was used in main- tenance and new locations.
We now have service customers totaling (2917) Twenty Nine Hundred Seventeen, yet this does not include the idle : service connections throughout the system.

Street lights were operated 358 nights using 178,250 Kilowatts hours, 1003-60 candle, 14-250 candle, and 6-400 candle lamps for renewals. Lamps burned (3345) hours.
Facilities at plant for obtaining sufficient condensing water at extreme low tide periods has been corrected by the removal of 5000 cubic yards of mud from the channel of Monatiquot River opposite our supply inlet.
Would suggest that my recommendation in the report of 1922, relative to the addition of one high efficiency Turbo- generator of 2500 K.V.A. capacity to the present plant receive your careful consideration.
This problem certainly requires serious attention at earliest possible date, so that we may be prepared for the inevitable increase in energy consumption from prospective users who are now waiting for service which we are unable - to supply.
