Perfection is a difficult goal in health as in other human pursuits but it does not mean that we should diminish our efforts. As a football team strives to score a touchdown so our health team composed of the parents, teachers, Nurse, and Physician should strive to score success in the health program. The effort is worth while but in many cases the play is held up by the parents. When the parents work with the rest of the team we can score.

Report of School Nurse
To the Superintendent of Schools:
I present herewith my second annual report as School Nurse.
Now that we are in our fourth year of war, the need for doctors by the armed forces has greatly increased leav- ing fewer doctors on the home front. The responsibility for the health of the children falls more and more on the parents. Their greatest aid to hold the sick cases from soaring to new heights is to prevent them by taking pre- cautions and following the advice of School and Town Health Departments.
The School Nurse by regular checks with the parents, teachers, doctor, and dentist, endeavors to protect the health of the children. Schools are visited once a week and more often if necessary.
Clinics were held during the year to discover defects of ears, eyes, and teeth. The mental clinic for retarded children was also held. Diphtheria immunization was given under the auspices of the Board of Health.
The nurse assisted in the milk program. Pupils pur- chase one-half pint per day for two cents and the remainder of the cost is paid by the Federal Foods Distribution Administration.

Report of the Librarian
FOR THE YEAR 1944
To the Trustees of the Millicent Library :
1944 has been a year of looking forward-of looking beyond the present global conflict and seeing hope for a better world arising out of the ruins of war. People are thinking in terms of "What can we do, what are we doing along the line of post-war planning?" This is the keynote of public thought, concurrently expressed on the air, through the press. It is the keynote for individual thinking, for group discussion, for national and international plan- ning. It is an encouraging sign-a sign that five years of awful warfare has not depressed the peoples of the world to the point of despair, but rather has awakened a firm resolution that the world shall be made a better one in which to live. It is a sign that people are thinking in terms of other people-of other nations-of brotherhood.
