A new electric victrola has been added to our equipment, thus making it possible to acquaint the boys and girls with the different types of rhythms, instruments, orchestras, bands, and the best re- corded music.
During the year the Scituate Parent-Teacher Association made a gift of seventy-five dollars to the Hatherly-Jenkins School Fund. Books for the room library shelves and some playground equipment have been purchased with a part of this money, while the balance has been made available for moving pictures.
All classes in both schools are enrolled in the Junior Red Cross having contributed a total of $40.21 in the November drive. In re- sponse to a special appeal for funds $24.13 was contributed in April. Favors and decorated napkins were made for hospitalized service men at Thanksgiving. It is planned to have some groups knit woolen squares and cut squares of woolen cloth which will be made into lap throws for use in hospitals. The sum of $20.10 was contributed to the Plymouth County Tuberculosis Fund. Responding to an appeal from the local Board of Welfare, articles of clothing were brought in for distribution among the needy children in Scituate.
In the fall the government issued an appeal for milkweed floss to be used in the manufacture of life jackets and aviator suits for our

boys in the service. The source of supply of kapok formerly used was cut off with the fall of the Dutch East Indies. As a result of this project the boys and girls of the fifth and sixth grades gathered 68 bags of dried milkweed pods.
The pupils in both schools have responded well to the appeal to buy more stamps and bonds. To make the sales more interesting contests have been held between the Hatherly and Jenkins Schools or between grades in the same building. During the calendar year stamps and bonds amounting to $12,994.85 have been purchased through the elementary schools. Committees have been appointed from grades four, five, and six to work with the principal to organize a campaign to sell sufficient stamps and bonds for the purpose of pur- chasing special equipment. This equipment, ranging in price from a bomb trailer at $1,150 to a B-29 at $600,000, if purchased within the allotted time, will have a sponsoring panel attached to it on which will be printed the name and address of the school sponsoring it. We can't buy a plane, but we can buy a jeep, a trailer, or a field ambulance.
A few facts showing the results of the Schools-at-War Program follow : The report of the school year ending June 1944 showed sales amounting to over $18,000,000 for Massachusetts and well over $500,- 000,000 for the nation. During this same period the schools sold bonds sufficient to sponsor 14 planes per day. The men using this equipment appreciate the efforts of the boys and girls at home.
I should like to take this opportunity to thank you, the School Committee, and the teachers for your co-operation during the year.
Respectfully submitted, LEROY E. FULLER, Principal.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee of Scituate :
The health of the pupils in general has been satisfactory this year, as shown by physical examination and records of illness. There have been, four cases of scarlet fever.
I am grateful indeed for the help and co-operation of the School Nurse, the teachers and parents, in promoting the health of the school children.
Respectfully submitted, M. D. MILES, M.D., School Physician.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. Harold C. Wingate,
Superintendent of Schools, Scituate, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir :
In the interest of paper conservation, the key-note of brevity has been sounded for those who present annual reports. With this in mind, it seems reasonable to assume that many of the details of the School Health Service Program, may be omitted.
The work schedule has been somewhat similar to that of the past two years. It was not always possible to follow the schedule, but every effort was made to equalize the time and service given in each school.
All emergency calls from the three schools received prompt at- tention. Accidents and minor injuries were cared for according to medical standing orders.
Health inspections, primarily for detection of symptoms of acute communicable diseases, skin diseases, parasites, and for health needs of individual pupils, were made periodically during the year.
Teachers were instructed and encouraged to observe pupils care- fully each day and to be on the lookout continuously for symptoms which may indicate a deviation from normal health. The importance of this procedure was emphasized throughout the year.
We have continued the policy of checking pupils who have been absent three or more consecutive days. Children returning from ill- ness are inspected before readmission to the class room.
If more parents accepted the responsibility of notifying the school authorities the reason for the child's absence, they would be doing a great service in the community. This evidence of parental co-opera- tion is of special value to us in our efforts to prevent the spread of communicable diseases.
A pre-school clinic was held early in June. The attendance was very good. Many of those found to have dental defects received treatment in the pre-school dental clinic sponsored by the Board of Health. Those found to have other defects had corrections made be- fore entering school.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
Children referred for follow-up from the school tuberculosis clinic received physical and X-ray examinations. Cases were negative.
In co-operation with Miss Kingsbury, home economics teacher, a successful course in Red Cross Home Nursing was given to the pupils of the household arts class. Plans are ready for another course to be given in the spring.
The opportunity to get instruction in home nursing should not be limited to one special group. Every girl should be taught how to help in establishing high standards of health in home and community. They need to learn :
1. Simple nursing procedures that enable them to keep a sick person clean, comfortable and well nourished.
2. To carry out with intelligence, the simpler of the doctor's orders for giving medicines and other treatments.
3. To care for children and old people in health and in illness.
4. What to do in the way of relief measures for the common emergencies of illness and accidents in the home.
5. The essentials of home hygiene as they relate to the indi- vidual and community.
In co-operation with the director of guidance, I recommend that some form of health council be adopted for the high school,-the school physician, dentist, principal, guidance teacher and nurse to assist student committees and arrange for their active participation in the school health service program.
A very important service was started this fall. All children hav- ing speech defects are to be checked at regular intervals by a speech therapist from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Some of the children so handicapped have already grasped the idea that with the help of parents, teachers and others interested, considerable im- provement may be expected.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGARET J. O'DONNELL, R.N., School Nurse.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN FOR 1945
To the Citizens of Scituate:
This year the Town will be confronted with articles in our Annual Town Meeting Warrant calling for appropriations of large sums of money due to one of the worst storms that the Town has ever experienced, in December of 1945.
Many of our sea walls and roads will have to be reconstructed or repaired because of damage caused by this storm.
It is regrettable that money that might well be used for other purposes in order to modernize our Town will now have to be expended for replacement construction.
The Selectmen urge the voters to use their very best judgment in meeting the situation which is before them in order that we will 1
have somewhat of a reasonable tax rate.
Respectfully submitted,
DENNIS H. SHEA, Chairman, W. IRVING LINCOLN, WILLIAMS B. JAMES.
