In November, 293 children were inoculated against diphtheria by Dr. Sullivan of the State Board of Health. The children who were absent during the first three inoculations were inoculated by Dr. Furbush, school physician.
All the children in the grade schools have been weighed and measured. Out of a total of 1887 children, 107 were found to be

10 per cent underweight and 28 were 15 per cent underweight. This is an improvement over last yearr
During the fall months, chicken pox and mumps were more prevalent among the school children than in previous years. As in all contagious diseases, when such diseases are reported, the class rooms are inspected daily and all suspicious cases excluded from school. This is advised instead of closing the schools.
Dental clinic is still conducted on Tuesday and Thursday morn- ings at the Cliftondale School, at which I assist Dr. Beckman. The number of children treated at the dental clinic will be found in the dental clinic report.
In closing, let me express my appreciation to you, Mr. Lambert, the School Committee, the school physicians and the teachers, for the encouragement and co-operation I have received in my work.
Respectfully submitted, MARY E. DONOVAN, R.N.
Report of Supervisor of Physical Education Mr. J. W. Lambert, Superintendent of Schools.
Saugus, Mass. :
DEAR SIR,-I hereby submit my first report as Supervisor of Physical Education in the Elementary Schools of Saugus, Mass.
During the period of my supervision over the department of Physical Education in the Elementary Schools of Saugus, I feel that the work has progressed rapidly and I have seen a constant improvement. The helpful, willing spirit of co-operation that has been demonstrated to me by every teacher with whom I have come in contact has been a source of inspiration. The intense enthusiasm with which the boys and girls have taken hold of the work, also has been gratifying.
I visit the Elementary Grades once every week and the Districts once every two weeks. The lessons consist of periods from fifteen to thirty minutes, depending on the grade. Each teacher has a definite outline to follow which is changed every month.
In the two lower grades the work consists of story plays, games and rhythmic or mimetic plays. The story plays, imitating many of the occupations and everyday activities of the life about, thus appeal to the imagination of the small child and will give the necessary amount of evercise. The play follows a definite order so all parts of the body are duly exercised. In the third and fourth grades simple, formal gymnastics are introduced, the time

is divided between gymnastics, mimetic plays and games. In the fifth and sixth grades more complicated and classified exercises are given. The lessons progress from the easy and simple to that which is harder and more complicated so that the child gets the full value of every exercise.
Each class has its leaders who are appointed with every new lesson i.e. once a month. These leaders take full charge of the class giving all commands. I supervise them, giving necessary corrections and help. This plan has proved very satisfactory as it causes great interest, helps overcome awkwardness and develops a ready response and independence in a child that might otherwise not respond.
At present the classes are held in the school rooms but when the weather permits they will be held out of doors.
One week of my time this fall was spent assisting Mrs. Donovan weigh and measure the children.
One of the most important factors in the Physical Education pro- gram is the period of supervised play. If this is widely directed it has a powerful influence on the physical, mental and moral health of the school child. It not only makes children happy and arouses their interest but develops strength, endurance and bodily control. It will secure obedience, respect for rules and regulations, orderly conduct, courtesy, self-restraint, love of fair play, loyalty, honesty, sense of justice and a sociable spirit. All this helps in the making of a good American citizen and is therefore of good educational value. I believe that supervised play should be included in the school program.
At this time I would like to thank all the teachers that have helped me with their splendid co-operation and support in my work and you, Mr. Lambert, for the interest you have shown.
Respectfully submitted,
SHIRLEY CLUCAS, Supervisor of Physical Education.
Report of Physical Director, High and Junior High Schools Mr. J. W. Lambert, Superintendent of Schools,
Saugus, Mass.
DEAR SIR,-I respectfully submit my second annual report for the Physical Training Department of the Junior and Senior High Schools.
The work in Physical Training is carried on in very much the same way as during the previous year.
39
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
1927]
Each day ten minutes is devoted to exercises given in the class rooms by pupil leaders under the supervision of the home room teachers.
Exercises which give all around bodily development, and which develop obedience, resourcefulness, loyalty, leadership, and im- proved posture are emphasized.
There is a meeting of the leaders each week at which time pertinent matters are brought up for discussion, and new exercises are studied.
Due to increased efficiency on the part of the leaders, and the heartier co-operation of home room teachers the work in this . department is steadily improving.
Stackpole's Field has been improved greatly to meet the require- ments of base ball.
Saugus High School needs a better gridiron, but most of all a gymnasium or hall in which basketball might be played.
In closing, I wish to thank the pupil leaders who are daily doing their bit, the home room teachers for their loyalty, and you, Mr. Lambert, for your interest and support.
Respectfully submitted,
A. R. RICE.
