The above table and the figures immediately preceding the table show how the Swampscott school dollar was expended in 1924. It is largely self-explanatory, but one or two of the items are more comprehensive than the titles indicate.
Under "Administration and Supervision" are grouped the salaries of superintendent, supervisors, principals, clerks, attendance officer and expenses of the committee and superintendent. "Operation" includes janitors' salaries, light, heat, power and water. "Repairs" include replacements and "Auxiliary Agencies" include libraries, health, transportation and tuition.

To the Citizens of Swampscott:
The Board of Health herewith submits its report for the year end- ing December 31, 1924, together with those of the various officers:
Each year the Board of Health, in its personal report, calls atten- tion of the citizens to the reports of its various officers, all of which give much information. The report of the Board itself is necessarily perfunctory, and serves mainly to emphasize the importance of learning of its work from the above mentioned reports. When a large number of people live together in a community, it has always been true that nature and the habits of people have to be regulated, in order that the community environment and conditions of living may contribute to the welfare of all. Much can be done by education to improve the general health of the town. Not only should all people obey the rules and regulations made by the Board of Health, but they should acquaint themselves with proper methods of living and with all matters contributing to their own better health. By so doing the general average of good health in the town will rise, for it is a fact that study, effort and attention to hygienic methods bring about good results.
Much attention has been given to the outbreak of scarlet fever which occurred in October. Although the disease did not reach epi- demic form, there were times when it assumed serious aspects. The school physicians have been untiring in their efforts to assist in pre- venting the spread of the disease, and have sacrificed their own per- sonal interests in every way in the increased work put upon them. By their systematic examinations and the investigation of all un-
161
BOARD OF HEALTH'S REPORT
1924]
known causes of absence from school, it has been possible to detect many cases which might have otherwise escaped attention and caused serious trouble.
We feel justified in saying that the collection of garbage during the past year has been generally satisfactory, and in view of the small number of complaints received has shown a decided improve- ment over previous years.
As stated in the report of the health officer, considerable trouble has been experienced during the year in finding places on which to dispose of the collections of ashes and rubbish. Although temporary places were found, their location was such that much valuable time is consumed in going to and from the dump. At the present time all waste material is being disposed of on private property, there being no public dumping places, therefore the continued use of those places is only speculative and consequently uncertain. The situation regarding the disposal of waste material is vastly different than that of garbage, and the idea of compelling the collector to provide a dump or remove the material from town is out of the question. If the town is going to continue with the collection of waste material it must expect to provide for its disposition. The situation demands that immediate action be taken to provide not only for the present need but for the future as well. We therefore recommend that a committee be appointed to investigate this matter and report at the adjourned town meeting.
