Each girl gets from twenty to thirty-five minutes of ex- ercises four days a week in class. In the fall work is car- ried on out-of-doors and often consists of field hockey. The gain in chest. capacity during hockey season this fall aver- aged 12 cubic inches for each girl. This means that dor- mant air cells were called into action and when one knows that 98% of all cases of tuberculosis start in these inactive cells, the significance of this increase is appreciated. Dur- ing the winter months the work is carried on in the gym- nasium. It consists of marching, response work, games, apparatus work, corrective exercises for individual pupils, and hygiene talks. In the spring the work is taken out-of- doors again.
Physical education for the grades and high school boys consists largely of gymnastics and folk dancing, supervised play and athletics. Some corrective work is done but, he- cause of the size of his field, the supervisor of necessity uses more general exercises. There is need of the full time of a supervisor. The younger children of the grades may well be classified according to their physical defects. Children with a tendency towards spinal curvature, with insufficient chest expansion or other defects, should be placed in separ- ate groups and be given corrective exercises.
17
The more important phase of physical education in the grades is supervised play. Those who doubt the value of this still believe in the ancient theory that the only business of the schools is to impart knowledge through books. As a matter of fact, play is one of the most important subjects in the course of study. On the playground the real child reveals himself. Under the influence of the play instinct his thoughts and acts become most powerful educative fac- tors. Through play these are fixed in the brain and nerv- ous system thereby producing character. Under right su- pervision the good moral traits in the following list are de- veloped, while under no supervision the bad ones placed opposite may be encouraged.
GOOD.
BAD.
Courage
Cowardice
Fairness
Unfairness
Truthfulness
Lieing
Democracy
Snobbery
Fellowship
Selfishness
Leadership
Bullyism
Fidelity
Disloyalty
Not only does supervised play educate morally ; it helps also to establish certain mental powers such as initiative, the power to begin; attention, the power to stick; and persist- ence, or the power to go through.
The work in supervised play is well conducted in Fair- haven schools.
In athletics the various teams have had another suc- cessful year. In competition with schools representing a much larger student body, they have made splendid records, Of greater educational power, however, than the outside games are the inter-school and inter-class athletic contests. In arranging athletic schedules it is the work of the super- visor to see that intensive attention to a few does not crowd out attention to the many.

Miscellaneous Diseases
LENA P. HOWLAND, R. N.
In November a clinic was held under the auspices of the Board of Health and Community Nurse Association. Every underweight child was given the opportunity of re- ceiving a thorough examination by physicians from the Massachusetts Tuberculosis League. Parents of 105 chil-
19
dren availed themselves of it. Thirty mothers. attended the clinic. A splendid cooperative spirit was manifest. In ad- dition to twenty-three cases showing symptoms of tubercu- losis, which were later taken to Lakeville for the X-Ray, other causes of defective physical condition were discovered and advice given to parents concerning their treatment. The chief purpose of the clinic was to enable diagnosis of incip- ient tuberculosis and to advise parents as to curative meas- ures.
The annual sale of Red Cross Stamps through the schools brings back a considerable sum for use in Town. The Community Nurse Association is at present expending some of this in providing a mid-session luncheon of milk for underweight children. In cases where this is needed and the parents are unable to pay for it, it is furnished free, oth- erwise, at cost.
It may seem to some that the program of physical edu- cation and health is becoming too extensive in the schools. It is true that the health of the child is primarily a matter for the home; it is also true that the welfare of the child is often best served through the cooperation of the school. A condition-rather than a theory-should decide the course of action.
Relating to School Work.
"Adjustment Class" needed.
The following law regarding instruction of retarded chil- dren went into effect in 1920:
Section I. The school committee of each city and town shall, within one year after the passage of this act, and annually thereafter, ascertain, under regulations prescribed by the board of education and the director of the commis- sion on mental diseases, the number of children three years 01 more retarded in mental development who are in attend- ance upon the public schools of its city or town, or who are of school age, and reside therein.
20
Section II. At the beginning of the school year of nineteen and twenty, the school committee of each city and town in which there are ten or more children three years or more retarded shall establish special classes to give such children instruction adapted to their mental attainments, un- der regulations prescribed by the board of education.
In accordance with this law the State Department of Ed- ucation arranges to have the examination of retarded chil- dren under the direction of skilled psychiatrists. Standard achievement tests are given by teachers, personal data is as- certained by the School Nurse, and a Clinic is held in the community for the final examination of children. Such a
clinic was held in Fairhaven in December. The detailed records of the examinations are never made public. Ad- vice is given, however, in regard to the future work of the children. In some cases it is found that a little additional coaching will enable a child to catch up and do regular school work. In other cases the causes of retardation are found to be due to poor health, or defective eyesight or hearing, and, when these are removed, progress can be made ; in a very few cases institutional instruction is recom- mended. For the majority of children, membership in a special class is recommended.
Our schools have 51 pupils retarded three years or more. The presence of some of these pupils in grades where they cannot do the work is a hindrance to those who can, creates disciplinary problems and is a flagrant injustice to the retarded children themselves. I recommend earnestly that, in accordance with the law, an adjustment class be formed at the beginning of the next school year.
School Gardens.
Interest in school gardens has been greater this year than in any season since the war. As shown by registration, 250 children planned gardens. As usual many plans mis-
21
carried but 160 received a first visitation, 90 were found worthy of a second and 60 survived to be considered for the awards. Many of these were excellent gardens, some of exceptional merit. At the close of the season a splendid exhibit was held in the Assembly Hall of the Job C. Tripp school.
School gardens are worth while. They are valuable in teaching thrift and nature study and may be helpful in correlation with such school branches as Arithmetic, Lan- guage and Composition work. In the Rogers school the garden project was so correlated and proved helpful to pu- pils in these subjects. I hope the Improvent Association will continue its cooperation and wish the Grange might also offer its assistance.
Grammar School Graduation.
It is the tendency in recent years to make less of grad- uation from the grammar school. There have been no formal exercises in Fairhaven for more than ten years. In response to a request from the class of 1923 at the Rogers School, permission was given last June to hold informal ex- ercises. These were very successful and helpful and, if they can be kept of this type, should be continued.
Education Week.
The week of November 18-24 is observed throughout the country as Education Week. Its purpose is to "get the schools into the community and the community into the schools." The observance in Fairhaven this year was un- usually successful. Some of its features were sermons on education by various pastors, an address by Mr. Burr F. Jones, Agent of the State Board of Education, given before the Mothers' Club and the teachers who were guests, special programs in every school, a public address by Mr. Frank W. Wright, Deputy Commissioner of Education, and visitation of schools by more than one thousand adult citizens.
22
Miscellaneous Items.
School orchestras have been organized in the Rogers and Job C. Tripp Schools. The latter school has raised and expended some money for instruments and music. If money was available to furnish these the movement would spread rapidly in all the schools. The fact that a beginning has been made raises the hope that sometime there may be . an opportunity for instrumental music in the grade schools.
In June a Field Day was held. It brought together all the children in a demonstration of the year's work in physical education. There was a large attendance of par- ents and citizens and many gratifying comments on the work were made by spectators and press. A small admis- sion fee was charged. The proceeds have been used to purchase three stereopticons and a library of 600 slides. There is now a stereopticon in each building. The teach- ers of history, geography and nature study are finding this equipment most helpful.
The spirit of the present corps of teachers is progres- sive. A large number of them are enrolled in a University Extension course now being given in New Bedford by in- structors from Harvard University. This is distinctly valu- able to the schools of the Town. Educational ideals have changed materially in the last decade. "The schools of to- day deal with the issues of life as WE live it-not as our fathers lived it-and the teacher of today, if a real teacher, is as much in touch with the living and pulsing NOW as. is the worker in any other trade, profession, or calling."

COMMENT:
To meet this requirement, $6,750 will come from funds that automatically go to schools making the appropriation necessary, $82,250. There will be paid into the General Treasury on account of schools the State General School Fund and Miscellaneous receipts aggregating $11,000, thus reducing the appropriation from taxation to $71,250.
