Registration day enrollments at the Hatherly School totaled practi- cally the same as last years' in spite of an expected increase.
The extension of moderate weather throughout the late fall kept school attendance totals high. Late in December, however, a few cases of chicken pox were reported and the attendance dropped.
Organization of a daily school-wide War Bond and Stamp buying program with individual room competition has met the enthusiastic support of both pupils and teachers.
The keen desire of our boys and girls to participate in their nation's war efforts was further evidenced by their achievement in the Victory Key Collection Campaign. In less than a month the pupils of the Hatherly School turned over to the local salvage authority upwards of 3,500 keys.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
The response to the Silver Anniversary membership drive of the Junior Red Cross was also one of the most generous in years.
The Kiwanis Club again added joy to the Christmas season by sending Santa Claus to personally present each member of the first grade with a War Savings Stamp and book. The upper grades were entertained with a moving picture of their own sailing picnie given them by the elub last summer.
REPORT FROM THE JENKINS SCHOOL LeRoy E. Fuller Principal
School opened in September with a large entering elass and several new pupils in the other rooms. The presence of defense plants in nearby towns has brought new families to our community, resulting in this in- ereased enrollment.
Jenkins School continues to play its part in the War Effort. Pupils are enrolled as members of the Junior Red Cross, contributions of money have been made to the County Tuberculosis Fund, boxes of keys have been collected, and stamps and bonds amounting to several hundred dollars have been purchased. The boys and girls also had a share in the general scrap metal drive.
Mr. John Hines, actor, gave readings of "Jaek in the Beanstalk" and Dieken's "Christmas Carol" at our belated Christmas assemblies. The boys and girls get a great deal of enjoyment out of his elever characterizations.
Visual and auditory materials aid in enriching the school experi- ence of boys and girls. Stereoptiean slides, printed pietures and post- cards, diagrams, charts, graphs, and maps have been used for years. A newer phase of this sort of thing is the moving picture. Films are available from the State Departments on health and safety, and from some commercial houses, free of charge. Other films may be obtained for a nominal rental price.
Through the Education Department of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts we have been privileged to use one of their lectures illustrated by large copies of famous Greek architecture, statues, etc. Miss Holbrook of the same department gave a similar lecture on early Roman Life. Other lectures on the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, early English and American History will be available during the year.
We have had many interruptions in the regular school program, registrations of one kind or another. Realizing this, parents would do well to have their children regular in attendance, and we, the teachers, must, more than ever, strive to prepare these boys and girls to meet the problems that will be theirs in the future.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee of Scituate:
The health of the school children of Scituate has been generally satisfactory this past year. There were a few cases of scarlet fever with- out serious complications in October and an extensive epidemic of chickenpox in December.
It was impossible to complete the physical examination of the children as early as usual this year because war time conditions have made so many extra demands on the school physician's time. The new pre-military athletic training at the High School is strenuous but the boys stand up to it well with very few exceptions. Adequate rest at home is important.
It is also of prime importance in these days of restricted food dis- tribution that parents take extra care that their children have sufficient milk, meat, vegetables and fruits. Continued deficiency of these foods, with excess of starches and sweets, often causes lasting harm.
The present acute shortage of physicians gives added emphasis to the rule that children at the first sign of illness should be kept home from school in bed and not returned to school until they are well re- covered. This actually shortens the course of their illness and lessens the spread of infection to other children and their teachers. The Golden Rule pays in matters of health.
Respectfully submitted,
M. D. MILES, M.D., School Physician.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. Harold C. Wingate Superintendent of Schools Scituate, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
In presenting this annual report, it hardly seems necessary to elab- orate on the School Health Service Program. As a matter of fact, the objectives are practically the same as in previous years. The program is familiar to nearly all the parents in the town, therefore, details are omitted.
16
SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
Preschool Clinic
It is regretable that only fifty per cent of the children who entered grade one in September reported at the clinic for the physical and dental examination. The school department provides this opportunity to acquaint parents with the knowledge of remedial defects which may be corrected before the child enters school. From ninety to ninety-five per cent of the preschool group should be examined in the clinic. Fail- ure to take advantage of this clinic seems to indicate a lack of interest on the part of the parents in regard to the child's welfare.
Preschool Dental Clinic
The Board of Health sponsored this clinic during June and July. Children should have minor dentals defects corrected from the third to fifth year. Most parents put off the dental experience until the child needs many fillings or extractions. When this happens the child does not cooperate well and frequently sets a bad example to others in the dental clinic.
School Dental Clinic
This clinic is also sponsored by the Board of Health. It is held in the grade schools each week. It has been established for many years and functions smoothly. Children of new families do not receive care in the clinic for the first year in the schools. Emergency work is done regardless of the length of time pupils have been in the schools.
Clinic for Mentally Retarded
This clinic was held in the spring. The group is small and the children have made a fair amount of progress during the year.
Tuberculosis Clinic
No School Clinic was held this year. Suspicious cases and all known contacts had physical examinations, x-ray and follow up.
Hearing Tests
The audiometer was used by Miss Anna Foley in doing the hear- ing tests. Loss of hearing is a serious handicap. Every possible effort is made to help those who were found to have impaired hearing.
Only the children in certain grades, and those carried from previous tests are included in this program. Audiometers are not costly and one should soon be added to the school equipment.
School Lunches
During the winter months hot cocoa is served in the grade schools. We are fortunate in having two very capable women in charge of this project.
17
SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
Communicable Disease Control
Chickenpox appeared in epidemic form this fall and winter. Many children are needlessly exposed to communicable disease because of the prevailing notion that they may as well have the so called children's diseases early in life. This is a dangerous practice. In our health edu- cation program for the coming year, emphasis will be placed on the im- portance of measures for disease prevention. War time conditions make it impossible for people to have medical care as readily as in the past. This means responsibility will have to be borne by those who have children in their care.
I am grateful to my co-workers and all the parents who have assisted me during the year in an all out effort to promote healthful living in the community.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGARET J. O'DONNELL, R.N., School Nurse.

"No School" Signal
The "No School" signal is 3-1-3, and will be sounded from the fire stations at North Scituate, Scituate Harbor and Greenbush at 7:20 a. m. to designate the omission of school sessions for the first six grades -e. g. the Hatherly and Jenkins Schools. If the signal is repeated at 7:30 a. m., it will indicate no school in the High School. It is, how- ever, the general policy of the Committee to hold regular sessions when- ever it is practicable to maintain transportation service.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Scituate:
The School Committee presents herewith the following report of the Superintendent of Schools, which also includes reports of the sev- eral principals and various departments of education.
We wish to pay tribute at this time to over 150 former students of our schools who are in the armed forces of our country. We feel that this is a record to which we can point with pride. During the past year, three High School teachers have been granted leaves of absence to enter the service: Mr. Frederick A. Calkin, principal; Mr. Michael B. Gillespie and Mr. Clarence O. Atkinson. Our thoughts and best wishes are with them all.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
In keeping with the war effort, several additions have been made to the courses at the High School. You will find detailed accounts of these in the following reports. Every effort will be made to include such courses as will prepare our pupils to meet the changing demands of the times. It is very difficult under present conditions to plan a policy very far in advance, but the Committee is earnest in its desire to maintain a high standard in our schools, and will always continue to work for the best interest of the pupils.
The Committee wishes at this time to thank the citizens of the town for their most generous support of the schools. Your continued support and co-operation will be deeply appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. EMMA L. DAMON, Chairman, THOMAS W. MACY, Secretary, FRED T. WATERMAN,
School Committee.
