scholars is because most parents had complied with the law and their children were vaccinated. If some few by evading the law succeed in nursing the menace of a future epidemic, it can not be charged to the administration of the Board of Health or school authorities.
As in previous years, most of the work of School Physician has been directed toward the control of contagious diseases in the schools. The . chool Physician, has been notified of all contagi- ous diseases reported if there are members of the family attending school. In the severe diseases, particularly scarlet fever and diphtheria, the room which the child attended has been visited, other children examined, and, if there seemed to be danger of infection, fumigation has been recommended. At Greenwood, this fall, the entire school was examined for scarlet fever, and the detection of a case in the stage of desquamation very likely saved an epidemic. ('ases are continually being referred to me for diagnosis as to whether they should be excluded. In numer- ous instances children, known to be ill, have been visited at their homes to determine whether the illness was contagious. The School Physician does not give any advice as to treatment, or any prescriptions for medicine, or take any professional care whatever of cases of illness discovered in the schools. I have, however, vaccinated a few children whose parents neglected to do it, having in each case the consent of the parent in writing. It is a ques- tion, however, whether some means should not be found for the treatment at school of the contagious and parasitic skin diseases. In many cases a few days of well directed treatment would effect a cure, while such cases, left to the care of the parents, are often weeks in recovering. A list of the visits to schools since Sep- tember 23d is as follows :

Total, ninety-five visits in twelve weeks of school.
In the calendar year 1912 eighty-one children were examined as required by law, prior to the issuance of age and school- ing certificates. Numerous accidents have been attended
184
at the schools, and a general oversight of the sanitary and hy gienic conditions has been exercised. Conferences are held with the principal and teacher in reference to pupils who seem in ill health or abnormal, and many notices have been sent to parents with reference to the physical condition of their children.
CHARLES E. MONTAGUE, M. D.
L. NOBLE BROOKS
Mr. L. Noble Brooks came to Wakefield in September, 1911, as head of the science department, and, although he had been in the service of Wakefield for a few months only, he had made a place for himself in the hearts of his pupils and of those who had the privilege of his acquaintance. His unfailing good nature, his simplicity of character, and his straightforwardness left a deep impress on the school.

Report of Library Trustees
TO THE CITIZENS OF WAKEFIELD :
The Trustees of the Beebe Town Library take pleasure in sub- mitting to the citizens of the town a record of their endeavors to increase the efficiency of the departments entrusted to their care. The year 1912 has witnessed a number of additions and changes, the most important of which will be referred to in as brief a man- ner as possible.
A department for very young children was started in Septem- her by the addition of forty carefully selected books of nursery and kindergarten stories. These books are in circulation practi- cally all of the time, a condition which emphasizes the extent to which they are appreciated.
