Two classes of this type are being conducted this year. The work is largely individual, and the pupil may ad- vance as fast as able. Regular attendance here is a very important factor. At the best the pupil is only able to attend ninety hours during the year, and if absent a part of this time, advancement is necessarily very slow.


The large number of pupils in our evening classes now, however, are adult men and women, who are enrolled for the study of our language, history, and government.


-- 57-


These are divided into groups according to their ability to read, write, and speak our language.


In the Beginners' Group the work is largely directed toward the spoken word, and reading of simple English with adult interest in content. Writing of simple sen- tences is soon begun. Guion Theme Method is used, and new words carefully developed.


In the Intermediate Groups this work is continued, but is enlarged and made more difficult. More reading, writ- ing, writing of letters and business forms, some history, civics, and discussion of current events.


The Citizenship Classes deal with the history, govern- ment, and economic conditions of our country. Since the establishment of the first Citizenship Class ten years ago, no person enrolled and certified by the teacher and di- rector, has failed to pass the required educational test of the Naturalization Examiner.


Since the new Naturalization Law went into effect, July 1, 1929, the educational demands are more exacting than ever. The first paper or Declaration of Intention, now costs $10.00 instead of $1.00. A second costs $4.00 as formerly. A Certificate of Arrival is now required in every case, and any irregularity in arriving in the coun- try usually brings the cost of citizenship up to $40.00.


This year, however, we have two Citizenship Classes with the largest enrollment we have ever had. All are aided in filing of necessary papers, and in any complica- tion regarding same.


The following program of the 1930 graduation, was given before a filled auditorium, and may prove inter- esting :

REPORT OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT


Dr. L. B. Hayden, who acted as assistant to the school physician, Dr. J. H. Shaw, for the school year beginning September, 1929, took over the full responsibility begin- ning last September. The work has moved along smooth- ly under the direction of Dr. Hayden. The report of this department is as follows :


REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


One of the most important events for the year was the starting of clinics for the immunization against dip- theria of the pre-school and school children by the giving of toxin antitoxin to the first and second grade pupils in the school. A clinic was held in conjunction with the Board of Health at their dispensary for the pre-school children and others requesting it. This will be followed this year by giving the Schick Test to those who have had the toxin antitoxin, and repeating the toxin antitox- in to those showing a positive test, also continuing to offer toxin antotoxin every year to those pupils needing it. From six months to ten years is the most susceptible


-59-


age. The response to this appeal was very gratifying, about eighty per cent signing the cards requesting the treatment.


The report of the "Re-Examination Clinic" held by Di- vision of Tuberculosis of the State Department of Public Health shows much improvement in these cases, also that the number is growing smaller. Twenty children were recommended for re-examination this year. Of this num- ber, twelve were re-examined as recommended, six hav- ing moved away or left school, two refused examination. Of the twelve re-examinations, three were found to be improved, and nine were recommended for discharge. One new case was examined at our request, but the find- ings were negative.


Of the pre-school children one hundred forty-two were examined, and one hundred forty-six defects found :

National Health Day was observed on various dates during June, the group plan being followed as has been the custom in recent years. Distribution of 1728 tags for satisfactory weight was made by Miss Macdonald. Mrs. Garvin distributed 1125 posture tags, and Miss Bradford 618 teeth tags. The school physician was pres- ent at all the health day exercises, awarding 264 bronze medals and explaining the significance of the day.


There has been no real epidemic of a serious nature during the year 1930. There have been many cases of mumps, some of the teachers and one janitor being af- flicted, but no deaths. The other contagious diseases have .


-60-


been about the same as previous years, with the exception that several cases of anterior poliomyelitis occurred dur- ing the fall months. This is always serious, and because of its far reaching crippling nature, is much dreaded. We were fortunate that there were no more cases.


From January to June there were 18 pupils in the Rest and Nutrition Class. As a group the gain in weight was 271/2 per cent more than the expected gain. From Sep- tember to December 14 pupils gained 62 per cent above the expected. It is natural for the gain to be larger from September to December, due to summer conditions. In some cases of children of nervous temperament, the gain in weight is not as essential as gain in endurance. From January to June four were so much improved that they left the class during these months. Only four returned in September. From September to December, two were improved enough to be discharged, while others showed a marked gain. The gain depends upon the cooperation of the home, regular attendance and the proper physical condition of the child. Proper food and rest at home are essential. Adenoids, tonsils and carious teeth are a de- cided handicap. In cases where these adverse conditions are remedied, rapid improvements have resulted.


Respectfully submitted,


L. B. HAYDEN, M. D.,


School Physician.

REPORT OF ORAL HYGIENIST


I hereby submit my report of the dental work done in the Plymouth public schools during the year 1930.


Oral Hygiene Department


Number of oral hygiene talks in schools 283


Number of children having a dental prophylaxis 945


(My number of oral hygiene talks and prophylaxis are less than last year, due to my assisting the dentists at pre-school examinations, and my absence of twelve days from the clinic.)


My program is divided into three parts.


First, that of assisting the dentists both at the clinic and examining in the schools. Dental examinations this year did not start until October 20th (except for chil- dren in the Rest and Nutrition Class, first grades and Cedarville School), thus giving the pupils an opportunity to go to their family dentist and have the needed repair work done if necessary, before the school dentist made his examination. Such pupils were exempt from the ex- amination by showing a certificate from his dentist.


-63-


Second, the dental prophylaxis, which is given each child in the first six grades who cares to have it done at the clinic. We feel that prophylaxis is important, and is considered as one of the ways by which we try to edu- cate the habits of home care of their mouths. Then, also, the child's sense of pride is an immediate result of hav- ing his teeth cleaned.


Third, and the most important part of my work is the classroom instruction, which is given in the classroom of grades, one to four, at set periods every month, and is purely educational. This year at the Hedge School in addition to my program, I am examining the two fifth grades for mouth cleanliness.


The following is an outline of my program in the schools for the past year. Various projects are used to interest the children in all of the subjects taught.


Grade One.


My first step in teaching mouth hygiene in grade one is to get the children interested in their teeth, where they are, and what they do with them, care they need.


An attempt is made to interest them in how to brush, when to brush, and care of one's own brush.


After these lessons, the children bring their tooth brushes to school in envelopes made especially for tooth brushes and which the clinic buys for them. If the bristles come out, or the brush is not of the proper size, the child is requested to buy a new one, which the clinic will furnish at a very small cost. If the brush is in good condition the pupil is awarded a tag or ribbon of per- fection.


It is very important that the children know of their six-year molars, where they come and care they need. The growth of the new teeth and loss of the first teeth is also important for them to know.


They are taught to regard the dentist as a friend, and to visit him every six months.


Nutrition-Many devices are used to interest the child in tooth building foods. We emphasize the better ones such as: milk, fresh fruits (oranges), green leafy vegetables, (spinach, cabbage), raw vegetables, (carrots,


-64-


tomatoes), dark coarse breads (whole wheat), and whole grain cereals (oat meal, ralston) .


All of these foods are brought into the classroom for demonstration.


Grade Two.


In this grade we review all of the lessons taught in grade one, and add a lesson on - shape and size of teeth, children look at each others, also their own by the use of small pocket mirrors. Shape and size of tooth brushes is also discussed, and several are brought into the class- room for the little folks to see.


Grades Three, Four.


In grades three and four the same subject matter is covered as in grades one and two, only in a more ad- vanced form. In addition to the above lessons the chil- dren learn about their twelve-year molars, and are on the watch for them. The lesson on decay and value of visiting the dentist every time a new molar tooth comes through the gums is taken up quite carefully.


In grade four we are using again this year A Child's Book of Teeth by Ferguson. This is the best book that has been written to use in school.


A review of the year's work is given in June. A true and false test was given to grade three and an oral re- view in the form of a spelling match to grade four.


This year as an incentive, I am using a cut-out of a small tooth which is used upon my monthly visits in the classroom. The pupil tries to keep his tooth cut-out free from black dots by keeping his teeth cleaned. This helps the child acquire the habit of caring for his teeth. At the end of the year awards are given those who have taken good care of their teeth, (pin, button, book).


Pre-School Examination


The dentists held pre-school clinics at various schools in May for all children who were to enter school in the fall. The logical starting point of dental work is with the pre-school child. Children are brought to the clinic by their mothers for dental examination by the dentist who is assisted by the dental hygienist. He shows the


-65-


mother all defects found that need the service of a den- tist. The importance of pits and fissures when they be- gin to show in the teeth is also brought to their attention. Our annual examination showed that many had been to their dentist and had work done.
