ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN DUXBURY OLD COLONY MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION
Two sets of statistics describing the work of the Old Colony Mental Health Association in the Duxbury schools are presented herewith. One set covers the school con- sultants services and summarizes the activities of the Association's consultants in our schools. The second set covers the clinical services rendered at the clinic to child patients and their parents.
Whereas the figures of the school consultation serv- ices represent children only, the figures of the clinical services represent both children and their parents. Al- most invariably children referred from sources other than the school are also in difficulty in some aspects of school adjustment.
In regard to the number of interviews it should be pointed out that some children and their parents might receive only a few interviews while others might receive as many as fifty in a single year. Patients who come to the clinic as the result of a referral of the school con- sultant usually receive prolonged treatment. Unscreened direct referrals from parents often require only a mini- mum of interviews.

DENTAL REPORT
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my report as a School Dentist for the year 1959-1960.
Your school dentists examined all pupils enrolled in our schools with mouth mirror, explorer and dental spot- light. In general all pupils were found to be in good care.
The school nurse screened those pupils in need of treatment with regard to their eligibility. Parents were notified in all cases and all those entitled to clinic treat- ment were completed by the end of the school year.
Dental health education was helped greatly by the State Department of Public Health.
We are continuing our efforts to further the prin- ciples of better supervision, education and treatment at all times.
May we again remind the townspeople of our con- tinuing recommendation that the fluoridation of the Duxbury water would improve the dental health of our children.
Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS C. ORTOLANI D.M.D., F.A.C.D.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
I herewith submit my report as school physician for the year 1960.
In June, physical examinations were done on the children who were registered for kindergarten in the fall. A careful appraisal of each child's physical status was made at this time in order to evaluate more astutely the physical findings of future examinations. Also, any child requiring Smallpox immunization was vaccinated at this time. Following this clinic, the bi-annual examination of all children with known cardiac defects was carried out. The findings of this examination were compared with those of previous examinations and the families notified of any variance.
The annual complete physical examinations were carried out during the fall and winter terms. All athletes were examined prior to their participation in sports. It is gratifying to acknowledge that no incapacitating de- fects were noted. The remaining physical examinations were done following the examination of athletes. Parents were advised as to the approximate time of the exami- nation so that they might be present, if so desired. This procedure was instituted so that the parents might ob- serve any defects and effect any suggestions to improve the health of the child.
In my opinion, the general health of the Duxbury student is above average. We seem to have a rather high incidence of sprained ankles among the girl athletes which raises the question as to whether or not these injuries could be prevented by the use of higher sup- portive sneakers. Our Physical Education Department has
220
been most cooperative in dealing with our biggest prob- lem of poor posture by correlating postural exercises in the school athletic program.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER E. DEACON, M.D.
School Physician
SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT FOR 1960
Pupils in grades one, three, five, seven, nine and eleven, all athletes, and pupils with known physical de- fects were examined by Dr. Walter E. Deacon, School Physician. As a result of these examinations twenty-eight referrals were made to family physicians or clinics for further treatment and care.
The School Dental Health Program was carried out under the supervision of Dr. Gillis K. Turner and Dr. Francis C. Ortolani. The yearly inspection of teeth was done on students in grades one through twelve. Twenty children were given care in the School Dental Clinic ac- cording to the Board of Health Policy.
Urinalysis and Hemoglobin screening tests were done on students in grades one, four, seven and eleven. Three referrals were made in regard to sugar in the urine. No referrals were made in regard to low hemoglobin.
Routine hearing and vision tests were done. Ten re- ferrals for hearing defects and nineteen referrals for visual defects were made. These children are under the care of their family physicians.
Home visits were made in regard to prolonged ill- nesses, injuries and to confer with parents.
221
Personnel chest x-rays were scheduled with the Plymouth County Health Association and completed as usual.
First Aid was given in the schools. Accident reports totalled sixty-seven. Forty-four of these required the at- tention of a doctor. There were no hospitalizations.
Chicken Pox and Mumps were the most prevalent of the contagious diseases.
Respectfully submitted, ANNE P. WELCKER, R.N. School Nurse

REPORT OF THE HANDWRITING PROGRAM
An examination of the results obtained in hand- writing for the school year ending in June 1960 shows that an excellent handwriting product has been forth- coming in your schools indicating that the materials have been adequate, the work of the teachers highly satis- factory and that the motivation and instruction, materi- als, and consistent diagnosis has been effective. Our major objective, naturally, is to teach technical handwriting to a point where the student has attained or surpassed the national norm in speed and quality. There are other ob- jectives, however, of almost equal importance such as to help the pupil appreciate and enjoy good handwriting and at the same time to have him acquire good work habits that will insure neatness, accuracy, and attention to details.
At the end of the school term we found that 83% of the grades given to students in a formal handwriting test were A (excellent) ; 15% were graded B (good) ; and only 1% were graded C or fair. During the school year we graded the handwriting on approximately 10,983 spelling, arithmetic, and English papers. In addition to this we graded a formal test paper for each child each month for the items of neatness, letter forms, size, align- ment, spacing, slant, ending strokes, and line quality. Dur- ing the year we supplied new instructional and motiva- tional materials for the pupils and teachers along with the necessary instruction in the use of these materials.
In general, we are very pleased with the results obtained and the splendid cooperation of the administra- tive staff and teachers.
Sincerely yours, W. L. RINEHART, Director
Rinehart Handwriting System

REPORT OF THE MASSACHUSETTS AUDUBON SOCIETY COURSE IN DUXBURY FOR 1959-1960
Fifteen classroom visits by an Audubon teacher plus one day in the field brought other subjects into discussion besides those listed here as the youngsters contributed objects and questions quite freely. The lesson titles are listed below in the order in which they were given with a brief description of each.
1. The Three Kingdoms - essential comparison between animal and vegetable life and how they differ from non-living material.
2. Trees through the Seasons - morphology of tress, identification and uses.
3. Birds and Nests - a study of our best-known tree dwellers and their homes.
4. Ponds and Borders - a special features of this habitat and the creatures dwelling therein with emphasis on reptiles and amphibians.
5. Mammals - some interesting warm-blooded furry creatures were introduced and their habits studied.
6. Plants and their Habitats - plant characteristics with special reference to ecology.
7. Christmas Greens - learning to identify conifers in this area.
8. Winter - how animals and plants survive the freezing weather, especially through hibernation. Bird feeders were also a part of this lesson.
9. Birds of Prey - familiarization with the hawks and owls.
10. Invertebrate Marine Life - fascinating animals of the shore such as anemones, snails, scallops, etc.
11. Vertebrate Marine Life - fish and shore birds were the major subjects here.
12. The Earth and the Universe - how our solar system is related to space and a trip from Mercury to Pluto. There was some discussion of the stars.
224
13. Rocks and Minerals - the composition of the earth, methods of identification and some reference to man's use of minerals.
14. Prehistoric Life - how the face of the earth and its inhabitants is constantly changing.
15. Animal Adaptations - variations in nature produce new features for defense, food-gathering, attraction and mobility.
Through all of these classes work sheets, follow-up sheets or "keys" were distributed and among the teach- ing aids and materials were live plants and animals, mounted specimens, slides, pictures, scientist's "tools," rocks and minerals, fossils and diagrams.

PERSONNEL
In 1961 school department personnel will be in- creased by nine persons. Four of these people will be employed as janitors at the new high school, two will be teachers at the high school, and three will be teachers at the elementary school.
Pupil personnel is increasing steadily. The new high school should enroll approximately 450 pupils in Septem- her 1961, the elementary grades approximately 720. The new high school has a capacity of 600. The old high school and the present elementary school building have a combined capacity in excess of 1,000. Our growth charts indicate a total pupil population of approximately 1,600 by 1970. Unless the new expressway increases the pupil population growth very rapidly, additional building space should not be required until 1970.
Two department heads were appointed in 1959-1960. Miss Mary E. Murrill was named head of the foreign language department, and Mr. Lawrence R. Dunn was named head of the mathematics department. Mr. Ralph N. Blakeman was named assistant principal at the high school.
Through the efforts of the Foreign Exchange Stu- dent Committee a second exchange student was enrolled at the Duxbury High School. Lars Schou of Esbjerg, Denmark is enrolled in the senior class and is making an excellent addition to our student body. During 1960 the Exchange Committee sent Belle Kent, class of 1961, to the Netherlands. Her reports of her experiences were most interesting and showed clearly the value of these exchange programs. The Foreign Exchange Student Com- mittee was organized two years ago by the Superinten- dent of Schools and included the following persons: Dr. Everett L. Handy, President; Mrs. Perley Merry, Mrs.
229
Robert Fox, Mrs. George Holl, Mr. John A. Brock, Jr., Mr. Norman W. Rodham, Mrs. Richard Chisholm, Mr. Hiram J. Doty, and Mr. Richard B. Plank. A new com- mittee has been organized to continue this important work. We are most grateful to all the organizations and individuals who contributed sums of money to make this exchange program possible.

FRANCES REDLON WOLFE
Frances Redlon Wolfe, who began her teaching in the Duxbury schools in 1957 as a teacher of art in the high school, passed away after a long illness, on July 7, 1960. Fran attended the Quincy High School and was graduated from Boston University.
She began her teaching career in Plymouth, Massa- chusetts but discontinued her work there after a short period of time. For a number of years she did other work and did not return to teaching until she became a regular member of the Duxbury faculty.
Fran will be remembered as a talented teacher whose interest in her pupils always extended far beyond the confines of the classroom. Her interest in teaching was exceeded only by her love of young people.
We are most grateful that she could be a member of our faculty these past three years.

THOMAS WALDO HERRICK
Waldo Herrick, although not a faculty member of the Duxbury schools, had an extraordinary interest in the young people who attended them. For some thirty- five years Waldo transported our children safely to and from school, on educational trips, and to all sports events. He was constantly concerned with their welfare and safety. He loved to see them happy. But his interest went beyond this. Each year he could be seen taking pictures of the pupils participating in school events. He photographed the pupils from the elementary grades to graduation.
