ANNUAL REPORT
SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORT
January 3, 1922.
To the School Committee of Dighton:
I herewith submit to you the annual report of your schools. Appended to this report are the various tables of age, attendance, enrollment, etc., together with the report of the school nurse, Miss MacIntosh.
THE HEALTH WORK.
I can only express great satisfaction with the health work, under the direction of Miss MacIntosh. When the new law went into effect, I, like many other superintendents, thought of it as a burden placed upon the smaller towns, but I felt that if the work had to be done it should be done properly and in such a way as to give us full value for what we had to expend.
