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.

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.
