TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Report of School Physician
Last year comment was made on the variation in height and weight of the first grade children in the different schools. This variation has not proven constant, but there is a tendency to undersize in the first grade children of certain non-English speaking parentage, though their growth during the year is up to the average. The weighing and measur- ing is being continued.
A systematic examination of the nose, throat and teeth of all chil- dren in the grades and the first year in the High School has been made for several years. There is a decided lessening in the number of diseased throats, but the number of decayed teeth holds about the same. The latter by the way is by far the largest contributor to physical defects, and to my mind should not be classed with other physical defects in sta- tistics as is so often done. To put tuberculosis, defective hearing, dis- eased tonsils and a decayed tooth in the same class and this to include fifty to seventy-five per cent of children as physically defective makes an impressive statement but does not express the real state of affairs. Decayed teeth are a defect and may be a real menace to health, but most of the difficulty is easily remedied and defects of the temporary teeth speedily cure themselves. From twenty to sixty per cent of the pupils in the va- rious school rooms have defective teeth and a very large proportion of these have the trouble attended to, though unfortunately there is usually as much more the following year.
Scarlet fever has been prevalent throughout Eastern Massachusetts since the latter part of the summer. There have been numerous cases in Wakefield and largely among children of school age. The only sem- blance of an epidemic was at Greenwood and that could not be traced. The former custom was to close a school upon the appearance of Scar- let Fever and a very large majority of parents still think it the proper procedure. In the present instance at least six families would have es- caped inspection and there is no doubt that our list of cases would have been much larger. It is interesting to note that the State Board of Health now advise strongly against closing, but places great stress on daily inspection. In this instance Miss English or myself or both visited Greenwood daily for six weeks.
Last May the school physician was appointed to the local Board of Health. This has resulted in a closer working knowledge of all health conditions, while the only drawback is that it tends to place a good deal of responsibility for health conditions upon that individual.
The routine work could not be successfully carried on without the willing co-operation of the school nurse and of the teachers. That has been given in full measure and the success of the work is largely due to them,

Report of High School Principal
Wakefield, Mass., January 13, 1920.
Mr. W. B. Atwell, Supt. of Schools:
Dear Sir :- Herewith is submitted the annual report of the Principal of the High School.

This enrollment was 57 more than the year previous and necessitated the procuring more class rooms and teachers.
We have, with the two additional rooms in the new portable build- ing, sixteen recitation rooms and nineteen teachers to hold recitations in them, so during nearly every period in the forenoon there are several teachers with no room to stay in. They have to come into the principal's office, which is hardly large enough for the principal and his clerk, and hold conferences with pupils, or, if that is occupied, do so in the corri- dors. At present we have a class of five pupils who are doing extra work in senior mathematics who must meet in the corridor off of the Chemistry laboratory. Every bit of available space is being utilized and if we have an increase in membership next year over what we have this year it looks as though we would be compelled to procure another portable building.
In looking over the records for the past seven years I found that the total enrollment each year was as follows: 1913, 437 pupils; 1914, 480 pupils; 1915, 499 pupils; 1916, 539 pupils; 1917, 521 pupils; 1918, 528 pupils; 1919, 585 pupils. During the war period and after the war, when in many schools the enrollment decreased by a large number, this school feld its own, and this year finds a very large increase. If the increase next year is as large as it was this year, it means we must have more reci- tation rooms or have some of the classes which now recite in the morn- ing come in the afternoon. The latter course would not be at all satis- factory as some teachers would have to teach in the afternoon as well as the forenoon.
To accomplish all the work that is necessary we have increased the number of periods each week in several subjects, for instance, Algebra I comes five periods a week instead of four, the same with Plane Geometry and first year English. English, the other three years, comes four times
121
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
a week instead of three. Botany is five times a week instead of three, and Solid Geometry three instead of two. Inasmuch as Massachusetts. Institute of Technology requires Trigonometry for entrance we now teach that subject three times a week during the Senior year.
To encourage the pupils to study, we have introduced the Honor Roll. All puipls who receive a rank of A (90-100) in all subjects receive High Honors. Those who receive two A's and nothing less than a B (80-89) receive Honors. All who receive one A and nothing less than a B re- ceive Honorable Mention. The result the first term was very en- couraging.
We now have the passing grade 70% instead of 65% and to receive a di- ploma one must receive 72 credits during the 4 years of school instead of 68 credits. I feel that this is a step in the right direction and trust that in the near future it will be 80 credits. Each pupil should feel that school work is his business and we should put the requirements high enough so that when a pupil gets a diploma it represents four years of good hard work.
We have had marked success in Athletic this yast year. Last spring the baseball team won the championship of the Middlesex Baseball League. Also in the Cross Country run held at Worcester our boys ob- tained permanent possession of a large silver cup which was awarded to the school that first won the meet three different years. Our boys won it three consecutive years. In football we were in no league but played most of the schools around Wakefield and won the majority of the games played. Coach Raymond S. Dower did very good work with the boys. The Athletic Association has been reorganized and now nearly every student in the three upper classes is a member of the association.
During the year a Dramatic Society, consisting of Seniors and Ju- niors, was formed. Much interest is being taken in the cub.
The right to certificate graduates into college has been extended for an additional three years by the Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

CLASS SONG IDA M. LOW
Oh Wheels of Time, that never lag in your incessant turning, Oh Road of Life, that stretches out before us long and bright; The dreams we dreamed in childhood and the end of all our yearnings, The crowning glory of our youth, you bring to us tonight! Oh Wheels of Time, turn gently as you open up the Future, Oh Road of Life, lead on and up with purpose true and high; For they who went before us, both principal and teacher, Have left us those ideals which can never fail or die. Oh Wheels of Time, move forward then, from childhood into manhood, Oh Road of Life, lead on! and teach us other goals to gain; And God, who guides the destiny of all this world's endeavor, Oh guide us too-till we at last, the Highest Goal attain!
