The grades are now having a supervised period of drawing every week between the periods taught by the teacher. They are all showing a noticeable improvement in workmanship, due to the extra time, the continuity of the work under the es-
184
tablished course of drawing now in use, and the natural growth due to working for a number of years under one supervisor.
The advanced High School class is excellent and gains skill steadily.
The class in Mechanical Drawing started last year produced far above the average first year work. Four of these pupils are continuing the subject this term, although they get very little personal attention in the class of beginners.
The seventh and eighth grades are still a problem. It is doubtful if either the walk across town to class or the short time allotted to them is advisable, but no solution has yet been found to these difficulties.
The great need of Manual Training of some sort, for both boys and girls, is still not satisfied; although a special class has been working with me along these lines one period a week for the past year. This experiment showed plainly that both time and equipment are essential for worth-while results.
The Supervisor cannot add such classes to present schedule without cutting the regular drawing classes somewhere, and it is hard to know where that will do the least harm. This is one of the improvements we hope to undertake in 1932.
The teachers deserve praise for their cooperation in follow- ing the drawing outline. Now that it has become a regular part of the curriculum, we are trying to make it more flexible and apply it more often to the particular needs of each grade.
In supervision, the following points are being stressed wher- ever possible without being too tiresome. -
1. Art when combined with Life's environment, becomes a growing human benefit.
2. Utility may be added to Art without detracting from its beauty.
3. Every manufactured object should become an article of beauty and still retain its utility.
185
If we allow skill in technique to become more important than the child's enjoyment of the problem, some authorities say we fail entirely. Art should mean pleasure always.
The School Committee has been generous and appreciative as usual, and as Superintendent, you have been a source of help and inspiration to us all.
Respectfully submitted,
EVELYN H. JUDD.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir:
We depend on music in school for inspiration, for education, for citizenship, for school spirit, for recreation. Music, more than any other one subject, may be held a factor in all of these lines. So it is always our endeavor to make music fill this large place.
The fifth and sixth grades sang a program of songs in Chenery Hall, inviting their parents and friends. A Gypsy song and. a Japanese song were sung in costume. We are in- debted to Mrs. Daniels Hamant for accompaniments.
The Junior High School sang the cantata "The Spirit of '76" in costume and the Junior High School Orchestra played. Miss Elaine Benedict, of the High School, accompanied the cantata.
We thank the Selectmen for the hall on both occasions.
The three classes of the Junior High School, including the Freshmen, now have two music periods a week, each class singing three periods of every four. They have new music books for four part singing. We thank you and the School Committee for this help in the Music Department.
Respectfully submitted,
NETTIE F. HAMANT.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir:
During the period from March 1, 1931 to January 15, 1932 your school physician and nurse have not had to combat any outbreak of the contagious diseases. This is typically the ex- perience of Medfield-due in large part to our being a commu- nity of intelligently, healthfully-living persons and to our good fortune in not having any of these diseases brought among us by transients. However, in the event of any of these diseases occurring, I wish to stress the importance of observation of the child at home and the detention at home of any ailing child until the character of its illness is determined. Do not send a sick child to school.
Against diphtheria a large proportion of the children have been immunized and this proportion is being maintained by the administration of toxin-anti-toxin before the first-grader enters school.
Protection against small pox is maintained through 100 per cent vaccination, as required by State law.
The posture of the pupils shows distinct improvement over that of three years ago. I would attribute this largely to the health education work of the school nurse during this time and more recently to the generously-given services of Miss Wilma Cole of Millis, who has given physical instruction this term.
It is much to be hoped that some day Medfield will include in its curriculum instruction by a physical education graduate, which could surely be possible if the towns cooperating in this school union would adopt such method as is now in practice in giving instruction in music and drawing and employ one in- structor for the union.
Schick tests were given in March 1931 and toxin-anti-toxin was given in April. Special physical examinations were given
188
the candidates for the baseball team and for the girls' track team. In September physical examinations were made of 243 grammar pupils and 149 high school pupils. Those expecting to participate in athletics were again required to take a more rigorous examination than the others. Weekly visits are made to the Ralph Wheelock School and the High School is visited on call as required.
The defects found and reported to the parents were as follows:
Enlarged or Diseased Tonsils 17
Enlarged Glands. 1
Chronic Ear Disease 2
-
Hardened Wax in Ear 6
Valvular Heart Disease. 2
Scabies (itch)
3
Impetigo 2
Dental defects were reported by the dental clinic, sponsored by the local Red Cross organization; it is noteworthy that den- tal defects are fast decreasing since this clinic has been func- tioning.
Schick tests are to be given this month, January, to 64 pupils.
Respectfully submitted,
H. L. PARK, M.D.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir:
I hereby submit my annual report for the town of Medfield.
The desirability of good health is assumed by the majority of persons without question. The school is interested in the health of each child for the following reasons:
1. Health largely determines the factors of interest and endurance.
2. Interest and endurance largely determine efficiency.
3. Efficiency during youth in studies and games, and during maturity in the more serious tasks of life, largely determines happiness and success.
The school, to obtain the above objective, has the following health program:
1. Health service, or the giving of health examinations, and inspections; and the follow-up to insure correction of de- fects and communicable disease control.
2. Physical education, the program of big muscle activity.
3. Health Education.
Through these various activities the school may accomplish a great deal in the maintenance and improvement of the health of the school children and in educating them so that they are better able to care for their own health.
They are interested in the matter of health also in various , ways. To celebrate Child Health Day they presented the pa- geant "Health of the Nations" and "The Toy Shop" at Chen- ery Hall before a large audience.
We are teaching parents and children the importance of com- municable disease control. Herewith is a report of our various clinics.
a Dr. McKnight's clinic, February 3, 1931.
92 pupils given Schick test. 77 negative; 6 pseudo; 9 posi- tive.

Dental Clinic
The Dental Clinic conducted for the school by the aid of the Visiting Nurse Association and the Red Cross has con- tinued its good work of last year. Dr. Carroll has during the year had further study at Harvard Public Health School.
Our objective in this work is dental care for all children and we offer the clinic for those who want to take advantage of it. Because of the fact that few people escape the ravages of den- tal disease, and that bodily ills often result, it is highly desir- able that those things be taught that will arouse the child to the desire to eliminate these existing troubles and develop re- sistance to future ones.
191
We hope pupils and parents can be made to realize the facts that proper nutrition, good digestion, elimination, sunshine, ex- ercise and fresh air, adherence to physical cleanliness, regular visits to the dentist all promote the health of the body and its parts. We also teach that mouth hygiene is more than brushing of teeth and visits to the dentist. What a wonderful oppor- tunity the school dental clinic has for this teaching!
I want to thank the parents and teachers for their splendid co-operation during this past year.
Respectfully submitted,
MARTHA E. BLOOD, R.N.

This table shows the distribution by grade, age, and sex of all pupils in Medfield schools on Oct. 1, 1931; it also reveals the progress they have made. The vertical "total" column at the right gives the number of boys and girls in each grade; the horizontal row at the bottom, the number at cach age. Italic figures show how many pupils entered at the proper age and were promoted regularly each year; figures to their right, how many are over-age for cach grade and how much over-age; figures above, how many are behind grade at each age. In which group is your child?

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
January 1, 1933.
To the Selectmen of Medfield:
Gentlemen:
I hereby submit to you my report for the past year.
On November 14, 1931, I received orders from the Director of the Division of Animal Industry, Boston, Massachusetts, to make the annual complete census and inspection of all cattle, sheep, swine, and goats, kept in the town; this inspec- tion to be completed not later than February 1, 1932. During this examination, I visited 38 stables, in which were kept 341 cattle, 454 swine, no sheep and 1 goat. The animals appeared healthy, and most of the stables were kept clean.
·I received notice, September 12, 1932, of a dog which the owner said showed signs of Rabies, and had him killed. I sent the dog's head to the Laboratory to be examined and was informed that the brain proved symptoms of Rabies.
During the past year, five persons were bitten by five dif- ferent dogs. These dogs were all quarantined for a period of 14 days, four of which have been released. One dog is in quarantine yet, as the 14 days have not expired.
On December 14, 1932, a bull arrived from the State of Washington, and I reported this to the Animal Industry and he was released.
I received orders again, on November 7, 1932, to make an- other inspection, to be completed December 31, 1932. During this examination I visited 32 stables, in which were kept 359 cattle, 734 swine, no goats, and no sheep.
On this inspection, one cow was quarantined for tuberculo- sis, and at this date is still restricted. I found the stables kept very clean, except one or two which have recieved some attention since the inspection.
