In the High School, the classes have been decreased in size, giving the pupils with most ability the preference. This has raised the standard of work. It is very difficult to arouse a proper interest or keep up a high degree of workmanship here without some sort of bulletin board for the Art Work.
The teachers have shown a splendid spirit of cooperation, both in the use of the outlines and by stressing proper care of drawing materials.

Many posters on Health subjects were submitted to local judges in a contest held last May. Three prizes were awarded.
The annual June Exhibition was well attended. We are trying to discourage any idea of making this feature an incentive for best efforts by the children, yet it is of value in many ways,
I appreciate the support of the Committee and your sug- gestions, as Superintendent, have been helpful to all.
Respectfully submitted,
EVELYN H. JUDD, Supervisor of Drawing.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Mr. A. H. Williamson, Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir:
I present a short report on music in the schools of Medfield.
This year we have worked for light voices in singing, for quick reading in music and to have every child sing.
The results have been excellent. The Junior High School has one period a week for music. If it were possible to have two periods, the chances for excellent music in High School would be doubled.
Each year, for the past five years, from two to five pupils, who were members of the orchestra, have graduated, leaving eight members for this year.
Classes in instrumental music are now given a place in the public schools. In large towns and cities, children have class instruction on various instruments, violin, cello, clarinet, trumpet and piano.
In Medfield, there is a violin class, of pupils mostly from the sixth grade.
The class plays in sections of four or five pupils, so that each one may have some individual instruction besides the time given to the class.
Respectfully submitted,
NETTIE F. HAMANT, Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Mr. A. Howard Williamson, Superintendent of Schools, Medfield, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
The following report embraces the period from September 4 to December 31, 1928, the work from May 1 until June 22, consisting of routine visits and examination of the baseball team, as the required examinations had been previously done.
Thus far in the school year we have fortunately been free of epidemic disease.
The services of the school nurse, Mrs. Martha Blood, who has given freely of her own time in the part of this work which is peculiarly her own, has been essential in the accomplishment of the work reported.
The physical examinations for the year 1928-29 were begun in September and completed in late October. Eighty-seven reports of conditions needing correction were sent home, sixty- five of these being for children needing dental care only.
Teeth 65 Teeth and Tonsils 7 Tonsils (enlarged or diseased) 15
Markedly enlarged glands were present in two of those having diseased tonsils.
Five cases of chronic discharging ears were noted during the examinations-four of these being under treatment, the fifth being referred to the family physician.
Seven instances of impacted hardened wax in the ears were found and brought to the attention of parents.
There have been seven cases of pediculosis capitis (lice), confined to three families.
Four cases of impetigo yielded readily through home co- operation with the school nurse.
173
There is one moderate case of St. Vitus Dance and four cases of spinal curvature; one case of chronic valvular heart disease.
Thirty-nine pupils who did not comply with the requirements of this state as to vaccination against small pox were attending our schools. This number is diminishing as rapidly as parental cooperation is obtained, although much more slowly than is commendable. This is a matter which should be of real, common, concern to our community not only as being required by the state but as a health assurance to the community itself. All of these thirty-nine cases must meet these requirements.
A large number of the pupils-a majority-have poor posture. This would seem to be worthy of consideration and and measures adopted to bring about reduction, for permanent deformity is the result of habitual poor posture. Medfield might well give heed to the physical education of its children as it educates their minds; for education aims to fit the child for its place in adult life and a trained, strong, body is as essential as a trained mind.
Respectfully submitted,
H. L. PARK, School Physician.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. A. H. Williamson, Superintendent of Schools. Dear Sir:
I submit the following report of the school nurse of the Town of Medfield. One and one-half days each week is the time alloted for this work. In order to do the preliminary work re- quired by the State for the Clinic, which is to be held January 2 and 3, a great deal of extra time and effort has been given. We were pleased to report 76% of the school children enrolled for this clinic. This is a very good percentage and I hope the parents will be more than satisfied with the results.
I visited 120 homes since September. This is where most of the extra time has been given. The Department of Public Health and School Hygiene advocates that the nurse should spend 5% of her time in the homes.
Last May the Toxin-Anti-Toxin clinic was held. As yet the Shick Test hasn't been done to check up on how many children are immune to diphtheria as a result of the clinic.
All pupils have been weighed and measured. One pupil 1% underweight is taking advantage of the school lunch and is gradually gaining back to normal.
Weekly inspections have been given in each classroom.
I assisted Dr. Park with the regular yearly physical ex- aminations, making note of defects and notices were sent home. At this early date, a few corrections have been made which shows the splendid cooperation of the parents. The posture of our children in the schools is very poor. I hope that during the coming year some effort will be made to correct it.
Medfield is one of the few towns without a school dental clinic. This is needed in every town, for through the dental clinic many teeth are saved. Parents must realize the im- portance of saving the first teeth.
I want to thank the teachers for their assistance in my work, and for the cooperation given by the parents.
Respectfully submitted,
MARTHA E. BLOOD, R. N.,
School Nurse.

Fond memories we will hold Of Medfield High so dear, Of all our pals of old And friends of every year.
Our work is yet undone
Our tasks have just begun,
May we still keep striving on
'Till the victory we have won.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
January 1, 1930.
To the Selectmen of Medfield:
I hereby submit to you the report of my work for the past year.
In December, 1928, I received orders from the Director of the Division of Animal Industry, State House, Boston, to make the annual complete census and inspection of all cattle, sheep, swine, and goats, kept in this town, also the condition of the stables in which they are kept, this inspection to be completed not later than March 1, 1929.
During this examination I visited 35 stables in which were kept 295 cattle, 291 swine, no sheep and 2 goats. The animals all appeared healthy physically and most stables are kept clean.
On March 29, 1929, 24 cows arrived from Maine and after being examined, and having the necessary papers to correspond with the cows, they were released.
During the year I have quarantined 17 dogs for suspicious cases of Rabies, either having bitten people or been in contact with Rabied dogs.
I also killed two dogs, one dog died. The one that died, I sent head to the Laboratory and upon examination showed he died from Rabies.
The dogs that were quarantined did not develop Rabies and after a certain length of time were released.
Five people in this town were bitten by dogs during the year, but the dogs that bit these people did not develop Rabies.
Yours truly, GEORGE S. CHENEY,
Inspector of Animals.
