"Vocational preparation we accept as a worthy aim of our schools, yet, in spite of the fact that most small schools are located in rural com- munities where many of the boys are likely to find part or full time employment on the farms after leaving school, we fail to provide sufficient courses in agriculture and mechanical arts, subjects which should have great practical value for them."
In this report there is a proposed program of study in which the following advantages are pointed out.
"A course in social science is required each year." This we are offering but not requiring.
"A health activity program has a definite place in the daily schedule."
"Ample time is given for clubs and assemblies, music and drawing." Drawing should be taught in our high school.
"Courses in home economics are so placed in the daily program that every girl may elect one or more of them."
"Courses in agriculture and mechanical arts are offered as free elec- tives to the boys."
Education has been defined by Avent as follows: "Any change for the better, physical, intellectual, moral, vocational, avocational, civic, religious, etc., constitute education regardless of the cause of such change. The state establishes a school system and engages in the task of education because it recognizes that the young members of society need to be changed for the better."
In a short time it will be physically impossible to crowd all the pupils into our present building. When our present plant is enlarged, adequate room should be provided and equipment installed whereby the greatest number of children can receive that type of education that will change them for the better to the greatest degree.
Th following is a report of Miss C. Edith McCarthy, vice-principal. who has charge of the school funds.

Each member of the faculty of our high school welcomes any construc- tive criticism from citizens of Chelmsford. We are trying to make the school a place where every one can find joy in work well done. There is a fine Chelmsford Spirit at Chelmsford High School. Pupils and faculty, with the assistance of local organizations and loyal citizens of the town, are working together to make the better best.
I am pleased to have this opportunity to publicly express my thanks to you, Mr. Wright, the School Committee, the faculty, pupils, janitors, par- ents and citizens for the kind assistance and hearty co-operation I have re- ceived from you in trying to make our school what it should be.
Respectfully submitted,
LUCIAN H. BURNS.
REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR
January 3, 1935.
Mr. George Wright,
Superintendent of Schools,
Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir :
Each year that I work in Chelmsford I find the work grows more interesting because Chelmsford has such wonderful boys and girls, and it is a decided pleasure to work with them.
The little people in the first and second grades learn to sing simple songs with a light head tone. The rhythm of each song is felt, and the child is led to express that rhythmic feeling in some way. The children learn to march, skip, run, and gallop, whenever the music of the piano or victrola tells them to do so. They also bounce balls to music, some keeping perfect rhythm, and this is a great aid to develop a keen sense of rhythm. I often wish that each school could have a room tucked away somewhere, where we would not disturb the rest of the school. If we had more room, we could learn so many simple folk dances and games, but it is impossible under ordinary conditions.
Rhythm is carried on into the third grade, then gradually developed so that the children can count the number of beats in a measure, find the phrases in every piece, and feel the moods that are expressed in music. Now in the upper grades we are studying themes in music, simple form, and later will make a brief study of some of the prominent composers, and their works, most commonly heard today.
In the third grade, children start their book reading, and it is continued on through the grades, with increasing difficulty, when the classes are · ready to grasp it.
Two schools this past year presented operettas with most gratifying re- sults. The children love them, and look forward to them each year, and the proceeds go to enable the Parent Teacher Associations to carry on their worthy work.
In the High School, classes meet twice a week for chorus singing
23
and music appreciation. A girls' glee club has been formed, but we find it difficult to have full rehearsals, because of so many outside activities, and it is impossible to have rehearsals during school hours. We also have a good orchestra that meets once a week for rehearsal.
I wish to thank every teacher for his or her splendid cooperation. They are most helpful in every way, and it is a pleasure to work with them.
Thanking you, I am
Yours truly,
CHARLOTTE L. HYDE.

Examined by dentist 1011
In our school dentist, Dr. Ritter, we have found an expert who has rendered our children a great service by his skillful practice of laying the foundation for strong and healthy teeth. Dr. Ritter has been doing dental work in our schools every Wednesday from 9 A. M. to 3 P. M. for five and one-half years.
Through the generous funds provided by the Parent-Teacher Asso- ciations in all parts of the town, many children who were unable to pay had dental work done free of charge. The Westlands Parent-Teacher Association, seeing the necessity of a dental chair, purchased one this fall, making a total of three chairs in the schools.
The Parent-Teacher Association sponsors the lunch room in the McFarlin school-luncheon consists of hot dinners, soup, sandwiches, cocoa and milk. Free lunches amounting to $102 have been served. The lunch room in North Chelmsford, directed by the Parent-Teacher Association there, serves much the same menu as does the McFarlin school lunch room. All the other schools serve hot soup and cocoa, with the exception of the Westlands School and Highland Avenue School, where the children are able to go home for dinner.
The great amount of milk consumed daily in the schools, at recess mostly, is supplied by Mr. Blood, Mr. Blaisdell, and Mr. Catherwood, all reliable and well-known mik dealers. Free milk is given to those children who are underweight and unable to buy it.
.
May day is now as always a day of inspiration; we carried out a widespread program of health examinations and corrections of defects- with emphasis on the preschool child. Many preschool children have bene- fitted by the correction of their physical defects, who but for the activities
25
stimulated by May Health Day, might have gone through life with some impairment of physical fitness. In all the schools the health programs, carried out under the direction of the teachers, presented more interest than ever in the rapidly-growing campaign for healthy boys and girls.
Regular sanitary inspections of school buildings reveal them, with few exceptions, to be in a sanitary condition.
When contagious diseases are reported in the schools, the school physician and the nurse examine those who have been in contact with the diseased child ; then, any books, the child may have are taken by the nurse, fumigated, and returned to the places where they belong. Pupils having colds have been excluded for the purpose of protecting children with whom they have come in contact.
At Thanksgiving time, the Girl Scouts gave three baskets and the police two baskets, which I delivered to needy families. At Christmas the Police Department distributed 14 baskets, the Lions Club five baskets, and private families gave two baskets. Not only during the holiday season, but throughout the entire year, the Police Department furnishes coal, oil, clothes, shoes, groceries, and whatever necessary for the comfort of the less fortunate; they also make possible graduation for children who cannot afford clothes with which to graduate.
The aim of the Senior Health Club is: To instruct youth so that they may conserve their own health; to establish in them the habits and principles of living, which, in later years, will assure that abundant vigor and vitality which provide the basis for the greatest possible happiness and service in personal, family, and community life; to influence an effec- tive agency for the promotion of social aspects of health education in the home and community, as well as the school itself; to insure a better second generation, a still better third generation, and a healthier and fitter nation and race. This club, which I have had in the Chelms- ford High School since 1929, is, as far as is known, the only Senior Health Club in the state. Each fall the club sponsors a banquet in honor of the football squad; and each spring they hold a party, the proceeds of which go to cheer up any member who might be sick. It is interesting to note that many of the former club members are now graduate nurses, while others are still training, or hoping to enter that profession.
Pupils Schicked in May who were immunized in October, 1933 :
Negative
Positive 5
345
350
These five children who were positive in May were re-immunized in October, 1934 along with 221 teachers, pupils, and preschool children. Out of 1242 children in the elementary schools and 408 in High School, a very small percentage have not received the Toxin-Anti-Toxin.
Thus far, the Department of Public Health has not conducted the annual follow-up clinic, but I expect that they will do so in the early part of the year.
26
Dr. Archibald from the Department of Public Health visited several times during the year and discussed health conditions in the schools and town.
During July I took a very helpful and interesting course in school nursing at the Fitchburg State Teachers College; also, I attended several lectures given by the Department of Public Health.
In closing may I express my sincere appreciation to you, Mr. Wright, for your guidance and help in the school health work; to the school physicians, Dr. Varney and Dr. Scoboria, to the teachers for loyalty and support ; and to the various organizations for their conscientious service and deep interest in the health program.
Respectfully submitted,
MAE S. LEWIS, R. N., School Nurse.
