The Junior High School program provides for the par- ticipation in a wide variety of activities, a period for the exploration and trying out of interests in physical educa- tion. The program includes group games, team games, the skills of team games, self-testing activities, stunts and contests, dancing and individual sports. In the Senior' High emphasis is placed on the stimulation of interest and development of skills in highly organized team games : hockey, basketball, soft ball. Instruction in the fine points of strategy and skill in games are emphasized, and good sportsmanship stressed. Interest in individual sports is maintained through the badminton, shuffleboard, tennis and bowling tournaments and in the Red Cross swim- ming classes during the summer months.
Americanization
It is the earnest belief of those who have a most inti- mate knowledge of the aliens in our land that it is the hope and wish of the vast majority of them to fit themselves to become worthy citizens of our democracy. This cannot be done suddenly, for of course, before they can be made to understand anything of our laws and customs by which our country is governed they must understand and learn
-42-
the language of the country. They must understand that a duty they owe to themselves is to learn English.
Many have lived here for years, handicapped by inabil- ity to speak English, yet have been useful and industrious members of our communities. These are now more than ever qualifying and becoming naturalized citizens. This means great effort on their part and usually at the end of a hard day's work.
"American citizenship is a glorious privilege. Some have it by right of birth ; others have it by right of adop- tion ; but whether by birth or adoption it means the same to all-freedom of action under law and equality of op- portunity."

REPORT OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT
L. B. Hayden, M. D., School Physician Hilda R. Swett, R. N., School Nurse
All work of the medical department is based on the fol- lowing fundamental aims : to provide a healthful environ- ment as far as is possible in the school and at home, to promote an interest in healthful living not for the sake of health alone, but because of what health will make pos- sible in the lives of the children, to give each child a fair chance to attain maximum health through the detection and removal or through the prevention of physical handi- caps and diseases, to encourage the formation of proper health habits and to assist the parents in securing medical treatment. Some of these aims are realized through the annual physical examination which is given to each child. Others are realized by visits to the homes which results in better understanding and cooperation between the home and the school. Others are attained by the regular health work carried on by the classroom teacher.
The school has a natural interest in the correction of defects which interfere with the normal school progress of the child. We have found it necessary in many cases to provide transportation to various out of town hospitals and clinics for children requiring medical attention. This procedure is carried out only at the request of their family physician. In this way fifty-two children have received medical attention this year. Defects that received atten- tion were poor vision, impaired hearing, enlarged tonsils and adenoids, curvature of the spine and other bone condi- tions.
The toxoid treatment for the prevention of diphtheria was given to all first grade children whose parents gave their consent. Parents realize the value of this treatment which has now been carried on in the Plymouth schools
-44-
for twelve years and are having it done earlier by their family doctor.
The tuberculin testing for the detection of early tuber- culosis was carried on in the Senior High School. By this procedure early cases of tuberculosis are not only discov- ered but in many cases by means of careful supervision sanitorium treatment may be avoided. Therefore, every student is urged to take the test.
Fifteen children were sent to the Bailey Health Camp at South Hanson last summer. All of these children were positive reactors to the tuberculin test, a number of them coming from homes in which some member of the family had had tuberculosis.
We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to all those citizens and organizations who have helped us to carry on our work.

REPORT OF ORAL HYGIENE DEPARTMENT AND DENTAL CLINIC
Jane B. Bradford, Dental Hygienist
The program of the Plymouth School Dental Clinic is based on years of practical experience. It is recognized throughout the state and is considered outstanding. Due to this fact, every year we have visitors from other towns and cities that are interested in starting programs in their communities, and wish to gain from our experiences.
The aim of our dental health program in the public school system is preventive and corrective. The instruc- tion given in the school by the dental hygienist is directed towards the prevention of mouth disease, and the work done in the clinic by the school dentists is the corrective part of the program. As a result we try to have the great- est possible number of children with healthy mouths, with no dental defects, or diseased gums. To obtain this we build dental health on three desirable objectives :
1. A balanced diet and good wholesome foods are of great importance in their relation to building strong teeth and healthy gums.
2. Value of regular visits to the family dentist. These should be made at least twice a year. Small cavities can be filled before they become painful. Thus tooth- aches can be avoided. This is an economic saving.
3. Daily brushing for cleanliness and appearance. Teeth should be brushed properly after meals and at bedtime.
It is the policy of our clinic to do corrective work for the first and second grade children, the parents of whom cannot afford to send them to a dentist. This naturally leaves many others that are financially unable to have proper dental care. Thus, it is necessary for the school dentists to give a great deal of free service to the children
-46-
in their own offices as emergency cases are frequently arising and cannot be cared for at the clinic. This service is very valuable as it is impossible for a child to do satis- factory work in school unless he has good health. Each year in examining, the dentists find that there are fewer children with large cavities. This is an indication that they are becoming more "tooth conscious."
We are very fortunate in having the cooperation of the schools, the homes and the dentists in our community. Without this we would be unable to obtain such good re- sults for our statistical report which follows.
