TOWN OF RUTLAND
Report of the High School Principal
To the Superintendent of Schools :
1. The installation of fluorescent lights in the science room and the home economics room, together with the re- decorating of the latter, resulted in a decided improvement in the basement classrooms. Both of these rooms had areas of insufficient lighting even during pleasant days.
2. The new fire alarm system now eliminates the difficulty we formerly had in distinguishing passing signals from fire drills.
3. In the commercial department, sophomores may elect bookkeeping, in order that a second year of this sub- ject may be possible. During the spring term, students in the shorthand and typewriting classes took part in a na- tional contest. One girl was successful in receiving a pro- ficiency certificate in the theory of shorthand.
4. In November, a survey concerning kinds of schools attended and types of positions filled by the graduates for the last ten years was started. A study of the findings, together with the knowledge of the desires and interests of the present student body, may point to some desirable cur- riculum changes. In the classes from 1940 to 1949, there were 140 graduates, 65 boys and 75 girls. At the time of writing this report, about 55% of the replies have been returned and it may be of some interest to state a brief summary. Among the boys, those who have attended col- leges or universities number 15, electrical school 1, Art school 1, Junior College 2 and the courses of study taken are mechanical engineering 4, electrical engineering 2, theol- ogy, medical, liberal arts, education 3, law, physical educa- tion, chemistry, advertisement design, psychology, and sociology. Types of work indicated are construction, office personnel 3, mechanic, trucking, garage, school teacher 2, college instructor, minister, machinist, machine draftsman, and restaurant operator. Seven are in the Army or Navy. Among the girls, those who have attended commercial schools number 15, schools of nursing 7, university 1, and the New England Conservatory of Music 1. The types of work indicated are office (typist, clerks, secretaries) 24,

Report of the School Physician
January 6, 1950
To the Superintendent of Schools :
The school physician submits the following report for Rutland for 1949-1950 :
In the spring of 1949, immunization for diphtheria was completed.
In May, of last year, the pre-school children were ex- amined at a special Clinic, and those who required vaccina- tion received it.
Physical examinations for this year have not been done as yet.

ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the School Nurse
To the Superintendent of Schools :
I hereby submit my annual report as School Nurse for the year ending December 31. 1949.
The hearing of our school children is being tested with an audiometer. Unfortunately, hearing loss in the early stages rarely is noticed by parents and teachers or the child himself. Early detection and treatment of beginning hear- ing defects are necessary to prevent serious hearing im- pairment. Notices will be sent to the parents of children who fail the test.
Three diphtheria immunization clinics were held and 135 students were innoculated.
A pre-school clinic was held. The parents present at these clinics gave the doctor an excellent opportunity to explain the defects found.
The Visual test was made and most of the defects have been corrected.
Throughout the year routine work went on, such as home visits, personal interviews, weighing and measuring, inspections, first aid, excluding sick children, planning and assisting the school physician in clinics, ordering all sup- plies, conducting vision and hearing examinations, notify- ing parents of physical defects.

TOWN OF RUTLAND
Report of the Selectmen
To the Citizens of Rutland:
The Board organized for the year 1950 with Donald M. Lincoln, Chairman, Frank J. Brooks, Clerk and Lloyd H. Campbell.
Donald M. Lincoln was appointed by the Board as Veterans' Agent.
Changes were made in Community Hall that provided new offices for the Tax Collector and Water Commissioners, and re-located the men's coat room.
In accordance with assurances made to us last year, the Department of Public Works awarded two contracts for State Highway on Route 122A which will extend to Ken- wood Drive, and work has been started on both contracts. tracts.
The Metropolitan District Commission has started work on the swimming pool. The well has been drilled, the con- crete work on the pool finished, and a building for the re- circulating system has been erected. More work will be done on this project this Spring.
The Athletic Field was dedicated on July 4th. We wish to thank several donors who have asked to remain anony- mous for donations of bleachers, playground equipment, flag pole and flag.
A committee was appointed at a special town meet- ing to investigate the building of a Town Garage and re- moval of the Town Barn. This would eliminate an unsight-
ly building and make the Recreational Center surroundings more desirable.
