1934]
morning in the Cliftondale School, at which I assist Dr. Beck- man, the school dentist.
Health tags were offered as usual by the Massachusetts De- partment of Public Health for Child Health day, for teeth, normal weight and posture. In addition, children who earned all three tags were awarded badges through the kindness of the School Committee. There were 382 badges awarded.
Protective vaccination for diptheria was given to 291 child- ren by Dr. Davis. The parents appreciate the value of this work, as shown by cooperation.
The children in the grade schools have been weighed and measured four times during the school year. Approximately 1905 children were weighed and measured, of which number 162 were found to be 10% underweight and 49 were 15% underweight.
In the Junior High Schools 649 children were weighed and measured, of which number 89 were 10% underweight and 79 were 15% underweight.
Miss Griffin, the physical training teacher, has done a large part of the work of weighing and measuring the children during the time that I was assisting the school physicians in the physical examinations.
In closing may I express my appreciation to you, Mr. Evans, the School Committee, the school physicians and the teachers, for the encouragement and cooperation I have received in my work.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY E. DONOVAN, R.N.
Report of Supervisor of Physical Education
Mr. Vernon W. Evans, Superintendent of Schools, Saugus, Massachusetts.
DEAR SIR :
I herewith submit the annual report of Physical Education in the Elementary Schools of Saugus.

TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
A visit is made to each school every two weeks. Outlines of the work to be covered are given to all teachers the first of each month, at which time the work is presented by me.
The following is a resume of my work which is carried on in the schools. In grades I, II, III, the work is presented and carried on in a spirit of play and make-believe, enlisting their imagination and natural desire to express their ideas in terms of representation movements. These consist of rhythm train- ing, story plays, dances and games. The chief things we aim for are vigorous exercise and reality of the make-believe.
After the age of ten or thereabouts, gymnastic work is carried on more extensively. The work is made increasingly interesting in so far as it cultivates and gives expression to group consciousness, through strong and well adjusted group action. This phase of work is carried on in the IV, V, and VI grades.
During the baseball season a tournament was arranged among all the fifth and sixth grades. The trophy which was awarded by the Playground Commissioners was won by the sixth grade at the Sweester School. Also a cup awarded by Dr. Mary Penny was presented to the fifth grade of the Lynn- hurst School. Keen competition was in evidence throughout the games. At this time, I wish to thank Mr. Leon Young for his helpfulness by providing boys for umpires.
As in the past I assist Mrs. Donovan, the school nurse, in weighing and measuring the children at the end of each term.
Each month a close check-up was made of the children from the Chadwick Clinic by Mrs. Donovan and myself.
For the assistance which the grade teachers have so willing- ly offered, the interest of the School Committee and the en- couragement from you, Mr. Evans, I am most appreciative.
Respectfully submitted,
CATHERINE R. GRIFFIN,
Supervisor of Physical Education

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
1934]
Report of Opportunity Class
Mr. Vernon W. Evans. Superintendent of Schools,
Saugus, Mass.
DEAR SIR :
I hereby submit my annual report as Opportunity Class teacher in Saugus.
Since the first Opportunity Class was organized six years ago the enrollment has been growing steadily larger.
This year both classes reached the maximum with an en- rollment of thirty-six pupils or eighteen in each class.
Since the primary purpose of this class is to give individual help and special attention to each pupil, it must necessarily be limited in number.
Any child who has been three years retarded in the regular grades through inability to accomplish the prescribed work in the prescribed time is eligible for special help in this class.
Here, each child is given an opportunity to progress in each subject as rapidly as he is able. Some people think that be- cause there were no Special Classes when they went to school, they are not needed now. These classes have always been needed, and their establishment merely demonstrates, that re- tarded children who had heretofore been neglected, are now given a legitimate opportunity to succeed.
Although essentially more or less alike, children are essen- tially more or less different, too. The Special class recognizes individual variations in mental equipment and strives to de- velop special abilities.
This class is an expression of the recognition of these in- dividual differences. Thus we are getting away from the idea of symmetrical development which causes many so called "failures".
We should not expect all children to conform to the same pattern, and their failure to do so is no disgrace.
The grade teacher has a great deal of influence in creating a different attitude and feeling toward the Special Class child.

TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
If all parents and pupils realized that the Special Class af- fords a real opportunity for these children to progress much further than they could ever hope to in a large class, the stigma that is attached to it would be eradicated.
Respectfully submitted. MARY P. MULLINS
