Another handicap for the High School singers is the lack


126


of a piano - the instrument they have, scarcely resembling a piano, not worth being taken into account. We hope that the citizens will so strongly feel the necessity of a piano and a bigger platform, that there will be no difficulty in securing them.


I wish to thank you for your kindness, and the teachers for their interest in the singing, and great help in teaching the lessons assigned.


Respectfully submitted, LILLIE C. STODDARD, Supervisor.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


To the Scituate School Committee:


It is my pleasure to accord with the custom and report to you the result of my activities for the year as School Physician.


I have taken the liberty to introduce a few suggestions in my report, the adoption of which appears to me necessary.


I have visited each of the schools at intervals and have responded promptly to all calls from them for my attendance.


I have examined 357 pupils, paying special attention to defective teeth, enlarged tonsils, the presence of adenoid growth and scrofulous tendency. Of this number examined, I found 125 defective and have reported the same in each instance.


At this point I want to earnestly ask for the active co- operation of parents and guardians of pupils. Of what use is a report of the child's condition, unless they carry out the suggestions of the School Physician and secure prompt medical, surgical, or dental relief. Many of these children have been reported as defective for several years, but with no attention and with the result that their condition remains deplorable. In those cases where the parents have taken advantage of this notice to secure relief, the improvement in health and mental ability has followed in a marked degree.


A noted specialist of the ear, in a recent paper before a society of physicians, made the statement that over 75% of all cases of deafness were caused by the result of adenoid growth.


Normal breathing takes place through the nasal passages. The air is warmed by this passage through the nose, the dust particles are removed and in this way prepared for its reception by the throat and air passages of the lungs.


With the presence of adenoids, the air is breathed par-


·


128


tially, or wholly, through the mouth and, therefore, not warmed, and large quantities of dust are inhaled. The result of this inspiration of cold, dusty air is to render the person more liable to cold and infection and hinder develop- ment.


In most of the schools the light, heat, and ventilation is excellent. The flagrant exception, however, being the High School, there being at least one-fourth more pupils than the cubic dimension of the room can support, even with the most approved methods of ventilation.


I am making the following suggestions for relief and trust that they may be found feasible. The adoption in each room of some form of gymnastics. This could take the form of dumb-bell exercise movements, marching, etc., to occupy at least five minutes twice a day. Have the windows open during the period.


Oblige all pupils to spend the recess out of doors, unless the weather is inclement.


I would recommend the installment in each room of a first-aid-to-the-injured outfit, and I would gladly give instruction in its use to the teachers and older pupils.


I would further request that special attention be given to vaccination and that the school authorities enforce the state law and require the presentation of a certificate of successful vaccination from each pupil and from each new pupil upon admittance, the only exception being those carrying a signed statement from their family physician stating that in his judgment they are not proper subjects for vaccination.


I wish to thank the School Committee and teachers for their co-operation in this work.


Respectfully submitted,


T. B. ALEXANDER, School Physician.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN


Fellow Citizens:


During the last three years $42,600 have been spent in the improvement of Scituate Harbor. Of this amount the town has furnished $8,000 and the State the balance. In accordance with the vote of last year the Selectmen ob- tained authority from the Legislature to acquire land for a public wharf and landing, and the further development of the plans will be presented in a special report at the coming annual meeting.


We feel that this is an important matter, and should re- ceive the careful attention of the voters.


There are some unfinished sections in our macadam roads, which, if filled, would make quite a complete system.


These are: Charles Street, from Newcomb's Corner to Charles M. Ferguson's; Blossom Street, from Frank P. Tilden's to J. W. Morris's; Beach Street, from Bailey's Causeway to C. H. Poole's; Hollett Street, from Main Street to A. W. Mitchell's; Charles Street, from Main Street to Egypt Depot; and Curtis Street, from Main Street to Egypt Depot, and Common Street, from Central Street to Union Street.


We would not think of suggesting that all these be built in any one year, but feel that these should be completed before extensions are made in other places.
