to warrant a notice to the parents aggregating 577. Of these 218 were for defective teeth, 188 for lesions of the nose and throat, 22 for heart lesions, 71 for being ten per cent or more underweight and 78 miscellaneous. In


miscellaneous is included contagious and parasitic skin lesions, inflamed eye lids, enlarged cervical glands, neglect of personal cleanliness and lack of vaccination. As last year, there are no known cases of tuberculosis in school, though the State Department in their examination, found several suspects. Several others have been taken to the North Reading Sanatorium for examination and x-ray.


The routine examination of the remainder of the school population disclosed 1,022 defects sufficiently marked to require a notice to parents, of which about two thirds were defective teeth and the remainder largely defects of the nose and throat. If all defects of the temporary teeth had been included the number of notices would have been much larger. These are omitted because I believe the care of the temporary teeth is unimportant. It is probably more important than much of the dentistry of permanent teeth, but when seen by me the damage has been done and there is nothing much to do about it. Then too, very few parents are disposed to pay any attention to the care of the temporary teeth. The solution would seem to be education of the parents and pre-school attention.


Literature on the prevention of diphtheria was sent to parents of all pupils in the first grade and those in the second and third who were not im- munized last year, with the blank requesting that the pupil be immunized. The proportional response was about as last year and all requesting it were immunized. All those immunized last year were given the test and all but 25 were found to be immune. These were re-immunized and will be re- tested together with those immunized this year. As a result of the two years work we now have more than 550 pupils in school known to be immune to diphtheria. Of course there is a very large number of the older pupils naturally immune. As last year, Miss Russell, the Board of Health nurse, assisted in this work.


The health examinations inevitably interfered with the routine class room work, but the principals and teachers have been consistantly sym- pathetic and helpful and Miss English, the School nurse, has co-operated in every way. Without this helpfulness and co-operation, work of this magnitude would have been impossible.


I have also examined all the pupils in the high school that have par- ticipated in or competed for athletic sports. This includes a large propor- tion of the girls and not a few boys. I have also taken care of the many bruises and minor injuries of the football players, when sent to me by the coach or a school official, and at the request of the school authorities I have been present at the home football games and rendered aid when requested.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


The principals report that every school is doing extra curricular work, practically all of which is done outside of school hours. Below is a list of the various clubs which are functioning.


Book Club Boys' Club 4-H Clubs


Junior Safety Council


Civics and Social Club


Boys' Arts and Crafts


Girls' Arts and Crafts


Archery Club


Dramatic Club


Books and Current Events


Junior Audubon Club Travel Club


The Evening school is composed of the departments of Americaniza- tion, Practical Arts, Advanced Grammar and Commercial. The Practical Arts group is the largest, having an enrollment of one hundred thirty-five. The Commercial group is next in size with an enrollment of one hundred twenty. There are two classes in Americanization having a membership of twenty-nine. The unemployment situation has contributed somewhat to the membership of these classes as many adult aliens have found that lack of citizenship has barred them from work. Consequently many are: now taking advantage of the service offered in evening school. The ad- vanced grammar class has a membership of twenty-two.


The attendance at evening school has been excellent and reflects the quality of the work being done by the teachers. Each year there is an in- crease in the number of practical art classes. There are now four dress- making classes, three foods classes and one millinery class.


The commercial department also shows an increase both in attendance and in the quality of the work being done. This department has two book- keeping classes, four typewriting classes and two of shorthand, English and arithmetic respectively.


I feel that as long as adults are willing to give the time and effort in bettering themselves, that the community is giving a worthwhile service in its evening school and that the facilities should be increased as the de- mand increases.


The Attendance Department renders the following report:


I have investigated the following cases and taken care of the same:

APPROPRIATION FOR 1931


The School Committee has voted to ask for $327,600.00 for 1931, di- vided substantially as follows:

$273,500.00

$327,600.00


We call attention to the fact that $45,279.18 comes into the Town Treasury through the School Department. The appropriation of $327,600.00 minus the receipts of $45,279.00 leaves $282,321.00 to be provided for by the tax levy.
