It is with all sincerity that I acknowledge with many thanks the kind assistance and hearty co-operation that I have received from you, Mr. Wright, the School Committee, the faculty, parents and the entire student body, and sincerely hope that I may warrant the continuance of this help and co-operation.

REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR
Mr. George Wright,
Superintendent of Schools,
Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Dear Sir :
From one year to another the fundamentals of music teaching change very little. The essentials are always brought to the foreground : good tone, good enunciation, and rhythm. These are the most important, and should be exercised with every song that is sung by the pupils. Two and three part singing is developed in the fifth and sixth grades, and carried through with a greater degree of difficulty in the seventh and eighth grades.
17
This year rhythm games and folk dancing have been developed on a small scale. In the first and second grades singing games are taught and every child takes part if possible. This tends to develop confidence and poise that perhaps the child has not felt before, and it is with a great deal of pleasure that the less musical child finds his place with the more talented of his class.
Some simple folk dances have been taught in the third and fourth grades, and the children love them. Most of the schools do not boast a play room, but a small group is taken to one corner of the room, if the dance is not a ring dance, and the rest of the class contribute the accom- paniment to the dance.
In the High School music classes meet twice a week for chorus and music appreciation. A notebook is kept and tests are given to determine more accurately the mark the pupils should receive.
The orchestra is small this year and is made up of practically all new members. Four of five members graduated last June. However, we have six violins, one saxophone, one clarinet, two trumpets, two tenor banjos, and one trombone.
This year a girls' rhythmic club was started, and about eighty girls re- sponded, but some have had to drop out because of studies and other ac- tivities. We have had about ten meetings this past year, and we have learned about six folk dances from Russia, Sweden, and Poland. Now that basketball practice has started, and we can no longer meet regularly in the gym, we are meeting in the High School and turning our attention to a capella singing. We hope to give a short musical comedy in the near future, together with choral singing, and folk dancing.
Thanking every teacher for his or her co-operation, I am,
Yours truly,
CHARLOTTE L. HYDE.

The school physicians, Dr. Arthur Scoboria and Dr. Ernest Latham, as- sisted by the nurse, gave all pupils a thorough physical examination at the beginning of the year : candidates for the football squad and girls going out for the basketball team were given complete physical examinations before the respective seasons opened.
Children in the grammar schools have been weighed and measured ; after the underweights were checked, milk was suggested or given to those who needed it the most and who could not pay for it. In both the grammar and high schools eye and ear tests have been carried out, notices of defects being sent to the parents.

Dental work in the schools is taken care of by Dr. Ritter, who has been a most efficient dentist in the six and one-half years he has been with us. He is in the school every Wednesday from 9 A. M. to 3 P. M.
The Parent-Teacher Associations in all parts of the town have gener- ously helped to correct dental defects of children who could not afford to pay. In the spring, when the High School Parent-Teacher Association dis- banded, nine dollars which was left in the treasury was given over to the dentist-three high school pupils had all their dental work done. The Parent-Teacher Association in the McFarlin School still sponsors the lunch room, serving hot stews, soup, cocoa, sandwiches, and inilk at cost. The cost of free lunches given out amounted to $93.80. The lunch room ill North Chelmsford, also under the direction of the Parent-Teacher Associ- ation there, serves about the same menu as does the McFarlin School lunch room. All the schools except the Westlands, where the children go home for lunch, have hot soups and cocoa at noon, while a great amount of milk is consumed in all schools at recess. This milk is delivered daily by Mr. Blood, Mr. Blaisdell, and Mr. Catherwood. Churches also in the Centre have for the past two years held collections for the benefit of children who cannot pay for milk at recess.
The May Day campaign for healthy boys and girls saw much correc- tion, and greater than ever were the observations in all parts of the town. I must commend the teachers for their excellent co-operation in making this day a great success.
When the Summer Round-up clinics were held early in June, the re- sponse was more than satisfactory, for more than half of the entering classes were examined by the school doctors. Many defects were corrected before the entering date; I also wish to thank the parents for their co- operation in bringing the birth and vaccination certificates with them when their children came to school the first day-this greatly lessens the · delay in getting the school year under way.
Any child who is reported as having been in contact with a con- tagious disease is examined by a school physician and the nurse; any books also in contact are fumigated by the nurse and returned. In order to pro- tect other children pupils with colds are excluded for a short time.
At Thanksgiving time the Girl Scouts made up three baskets and the Police Department gave me one to deliver. At Christmas the Police De- partment gave 21 baskets (also one at New Year's) ; the Lion's Club, 4; Boy Scouts in the Westlands, 1; Girl Scouts in the Westlands, 2; Parent- Teacher Association in North Chelmsford, 4; Boy Scouts in North Chelms- ford, 5; American Legion Auxiliary, North Chelmsford, 4; American Leg- ion in North Chelmsford, 2; American Legion in Centre, 2; American Legion Auxiliary in Centre, toys ; Police Department, $10.00 for stockings
20
and toys, and money for coal and oil; Unitarian Church, toys and a dona- tion from the candlelight service; the Garden Club, toys. At graduation both the Police Department and the Grange gave clothes to boys and girls who otherwise would not have graduated. I wish to take this opportunity to heartily thank each and every one of the above organizations for their hearty co-operation in relieving the many families helped in this town.
For the sixth year my Health Club has sponsorcd a successful banquet for the football boys and guests; this year the club is exceptionally active and plans are in progress for a very busy season.
Pupils Schicked in May who were immunized in October, 1934:

Positive 11

Seven of these eleven were re-immunized' in October, 1935-the other four had left town. We gave Diphtheria toxoid to 195 children under twelve years of age, and toxin-anti-toxin to two teachers and seventeen children over twelve years of age; these will receive the Schick test in the spring, but the children under twelve will not require it. There has not been a case of Diphtheria in town in 1935.
In October the Middlesex County conducted a school clinic at which pupils in the seventh, ninth, and eleventh grades were given the tubercu- losis test. Twelve children in lower grades who were exposed to tubercu- losis were also tested and held over to another year to be X-rayed and ex- amined as observation cases.
Children Tested 166
Children X-rayed 63
Children Referred for Examination 13
Deferred Case 1
There were ten pupils who have been X-rayed and examined each year by Dr. Martin, of the Department of Public Health. who conducts the clinic. All have improved to such an extent that the doctors do not con- sider it necessary for them to return another year for examination.
Dr. Archibald, of the Department of Public Health, visited many times during the year to discuss health conditions in the town.
In closing I would like to express my appreciation to you, Mr. Wright, for your excellent advice and guidance in the school health work; to the school physicians, Dr. Varney, Dr. Scoboria, and Dr. Latham, our new physician; to the teachers and parents for their loyal support; and to the various town organizations for faithful service and sincere co-operation in the Health program.
