Parents sometimes are reluctant to permit their boys to play football. Foot- ball is a game of physical contact and there is a certain amount of danger, how- ever this danger is minimized by close supervision and prompt medical care in case of any injury.
Considering the number of hours spent in practice and competition by the boys on the football squad it seems that their chances of being injured are no greater than any equal number of boys who do not take part in the sport. From our observations here, boys who have not participated in football have been injured just as frequently and oft-times more seriously than the football players. This statement covers only those accidents that have occured during the hours when football was being practiced. Non-participants have been injured while at work, in automobile accidents and in several instances playing football without supervision.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
This year we enrolled in the insurance plan of the New England Head- masters' Association. Under this plan each boy, who so desires, may take out an accident insurance which covers him on injuries he may receive in school athletics. The premium is one dollar if he is to participate in football, otherwise it is fifty cents. Under the plan, doctor's bills, and x-ray expenses which result from certain specified injuries, such as dislocation and fractures, are paid. The benefits are not large but are usually sufficient to cover expenses.
Over fifty per cent of the boys in school are participants in interscholastic athletics, at least to the extent of trying out for the teams. All the other boys in school are required to take physical education two periods per week unless ex- cused by their physician.
Our athletic program is financed by the High School Athletic Association. This association gets its funds through dues from voluntary student enrollment and the revenue from football and basketball games.
At Scituate High School the various sports are looked at in their proper light, neither over emphasized nor deemphasized, and we believe that they have no small part in moulding the complete man.
BASIC ENGLISH Anne L. Cunneen Teacher in Americanization Classes
It is my desire to give in Basic English a short account of the Basic English system now in use in the Adult Alien classes in Scituate.
Basic English is a form of English in which 850 words with some changes and additions will do the work of 20,000 words.
In Basic it is possible to give an account of the senses of all the other words in the English language. This is not to say however, that this small number will at all times or for all purposes take the place of every other word in the language.
The selection of the 850 words was based on a number of different tests. The important question was not: "How many times was the word used?" but "In what ways will it take the place of what other words?" The outcome was to be a working language that would give all the necessary senses of words. So the system was formed by taking out everything unnecessary to the sense.
Basic English does not take the place of standard English. Its most important values are to make the sense of a word or statement clear to the learner and to take him to the point where he is ready for a wider knowledge of English.
Because English verbs can be broken down into the operations and directions they are talking about, it is possible for Basic English to have only 18 verbs in addition to certain names of directions. (in, from, on, up, under, and so on) At this point I will give some examples. I have put one line under the standard English verbs and two lines under the Basic forms.
To immerse your hands in water is to put them under water; to emerge from a room is to come out of it; to illustrate your argument is to give examples; and to climb or ascend a mountain, you go up it (on foot, in an automobile, and so on) . It may be readily seen that the Basic translation gives the sense of the standard English verb completely.
The selection of the second group of words, the names of things or nouns, was based on the words having the greatest number of relations with other words. Of the 850 Basic words 600 are names of general or picturable things.
16
SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
The selection of the third group of words, the qualities or adjectives, was made in the same way. There are 150 adjectives of which 50 are opposites. The adverbs in "ly" are made from certain of these qualities.
Among other words that may be made in Basic are plurals of the Basic nouns, all of the pronouns, comparisons, conjugations, derivatives in er, ing, and ed from certain words, terms of measurement, numerals, money, calendar, international terms in English form, and recognized persons and places.
Three important uses of the Basic system are:
1. It gives an international language which takes as little of the learner's time as possible and gives him a working language for every day's purposes.
2. It is a smooth and quick way of learning English. It may be said to be the key to full English because the senses of all the other English words may be given in Basic, and because the structure of full or standard English may be made clear by comparison with the Basic.
3. It makes a person more conscious of the senses and feelings within the language, and for one whose natural language is English it is valuable training in full English.
These facts about Basic are of interest.
1. Thirty countries are using Basic today.
2. It is being used by international organizations and for international radio.
3. It is being used for teaching reading to very young children.
4. It is being used to teach English to foreign born persons.
5. It is being used for helping older boys and girls who have trouble with reading and the use of language.
6. Its use in high schools and colleges in the United States is increasing.
This statement in standard English is from "The Reader's Digest."
"For, though the government knew that war was virtually inevitable, so long as the faintest chance of peace remained, it refused to tell the British nation how serious the situation was lest the public displeasure bar further conciliation."
So that a comparison may be made, the same statement is put into Basic.
"For, though the government now had knowledge of the fact that war was in effect certain, so long as there was the smallest chance of peace, it did not let the British nation see how serious its position was for fear of getting on the wrong side of the public and of putting a stop to any future peace."
It may be seen that the sense of the first statement has been kept in the Basic translation.
It is necessary at all times to take into account the full sense of an English statement and to keep in mind the fact that common sense is important in the use of Basic English.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee of Scituate:
Examination of the pupils of the Scituate Schools has been followed this year as previously, viz, examination with special attention to height, weight, nose and throat conditions, and heart, lungs, posture and general appearance.
A child may be somewhat under-weight, and, at the same time, healthy. The rapid growth and great activity use up so much energy that it is difficult for them to put on enough weight. In such cases it is well to try to, in some measure, restrict their activity. Additional food, such as milk and cocoa, may help along this line.
Athletics play a very important role in the health life of school children. The health, morals, and school work cannot but be helped by well supervised athletic activity. The athletic supervision of the schools has constantly showed improvement, and is reflected in the individual.
At a meeting of School Physicians at Bridgewater, the subject of closing the schools during an epidemic was discussed, and it was the opinion that this was not necessary except in cases of very severe epidemics. The procedure recom- mended was daily inspection of contacts with the individual during the period of incubation, and followed up as fresh cases develop. This method is followed in Scituate.
The Schools for a period have been quite hard hit by the Influenza epidemic, but are getting back to normal.
Inspection of the school buildings, and grounds, have been made, and these are in excellent condition.
The School Nurse's report will contain data of visits which I will not include because of duplication.
Respectfully submitted,
T. B. ALEXANDER, M.D., School Physician.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. Harold C. Wingate, Superintendent of Schools, Scituate, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
The thirteenth annual summary of my work as part-time school nurse is as follows:
Number of School Visits (including those made with school physician for exami- nations, class and individual inspection, and first aid treatments) 129
18
SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
Number of Home Visits for School Children 58
Number of Children taken home ill 14
Number of Children examined by School Physician 512
Number of Children with Nose and Throat Defects 96
Number of Children with Defective Vision 18
Number of Children with Heart Murmurs 137
Number of Children with Defective Posture 8
Number of Children with Defective Hearing 20
Number of Children having had Defects Corrected (all types) 33
Number of Preschool Dental Clinics 8
Number of School Dental Clinics 67
Whooping Cough (Number of Cases Reported) 47
Chicken Pox (Number of Cases Reported) 26
Scarlet Fever (Number of Cases Reported)
8
Mumps (Number of Cases Reported) 4
The few cases of scabies, ringworm, impetigo and pediculosis responded quickly to treatment.
For the purpose of avoiding duplication, may I call your attention to the report made to the Nursing Service which gives detailed information on the gen- eralized health program.
I fully realize that there is a great need for more of the nurse's time to be given for School Health Service. This can only be done by the various departments bringing the problem before the citizens and sponsoring an article in the warrant at the next Town Meeting, to provide extra help to carry on the entire health program.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGARET J. O'DONNELL, R.N., School Nurse.
