The Superintendent and Committee have been very generous this year in providing us with books and supplies which we ap- preciate very much. The new maps, scientific apparatus, textbooks, and typewriter chairs just purchased will greatly increase the efficiency of the school. Much of this material had been needed for a long time. In closing I wish to thank you and the Committee for the assistance given throughout the year.
Respectfully submitted,
ALTON H. HARTFORD, Principal.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
Mr. Lyman R. Allen,
Superintendent of Schools,
Medfield, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my annual report, as Drawing Supervisor in the town of Medfield.
My aim, as usual, for all the work is to have each child love to draw and dare to draw anything at any time.
Towards this somewhat optimistic ideal, certain improve- ments stand out during the past year in the grades.
1. There is a quicker response from all the classes when problems are assigned.
2. More originality and better technique are noticeable in Free Expression problems; the lettering shows more careful workmanship.
3. Work is generally completed at the close of each period.
The teachers deserve much of the credit for this improvement, which is partly due to their careful planning and conscientious attention in following the monthly outlines.
The High School Classes, for the first time in years, are hav- ing a real opportunity to produce art work comparable with advanced work in neighboring towns. It is to be regretted that a suitable room is not available in the High School build- ing, but any inconvenience caused by the walk to and from classes is more than justified by the results. We certainly appreciate the large, convenient room we now have. Every- one has an enjoyable time while there; supplies can be properly taken care of; and we do not interfere with the general High School routine.
The new class in Mechanical Drawing is progressing rapidly and shows great enthusiasm for the work.
161
Parents who are considering the advisability of sending their children to Art or Technical schools, or those who question the wisdom of moving the drawing classes to this building, are especially welcome to observe these classes at any time.
Of course, the great need at present is more manual work for both girls and boys of the 5th and 6th grade. Many chil- dren who are poor students in other branches show decided skill in sewing, cooking, carpenter work, mechanical construc- tion or bench work of any kind. Sometimes success in these problems reacts favorably upon the other subjects, as the child gains confidence in his own ability.
We now have some coping saws and other small tools for light wood construction problems, and a few boys are to have the privilege of working with them. If this class is successful, it may be possible to give the girls some extra work of this sort.
The Superintendent and School Committee have spent a great deal of time considering the Drawing situation this year, and the teachers and children join me in thanks for the fine equipment, the improved working conditions, and above all, the extra day.
It is now a great pleasure to teach art in Medfield.
Respectfully submitted,
EVELYN H. JUDD, Supervisor of Drawing.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Mr. L. R. Allen,
Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir:
I present a short report on music in the schools of Medfield. Music contributes to the general aims of education.
Some of these are-good health, ability to carry on everyday activities of life, good citizenship, character, right use of leisure time and a worthwhile part in home life.
It is healthy to sing. Good posture and deep breathing are necessary.
Any subject, which results in rapidity and accuracy of thought, will increase the ability to carry on the activities of life. Music is one of these subjects.
Patriotic songs, folk songs and national songs are valuable in the development of good citizenship.
Music has its part in building character. It excels all other endeavors in use of leisure time and is a pleasure, pastime and strong support in the home.
The singing of many good songs, cultivation of light voices, excellent work in the various problems in music through the grades, ability in part singing, all make for good music in the Junior High School.
Here the process of socializing students can be carried on to the best advantage.
Large numbers of boys and girls of the same ages and interests are gathered together.
In the singing of a chorus or the playing of an orchestra, the necessity of working for group effect is plain.
If there is opportunity for singing, music appreciation and instrumental music the department of music in a Junior High
163
School spreads its instruction as widely as many of the other necessary subjects of the school.
On the work of the Junior High School depends the music of the Senior High School.
Respectfully submitted, NETTIE F. HAMANT, Supervisor of Music.
Medfield, January 19, 1931.

PHYSICIAN'S REPORT
In the beginning of the year, each child was examined and defects noted and reports sent to the parents.
In the spring term, there was diphtheria in one family; three children having it; one being of school age. There were no other cases. However, there were several cases of whooping cough, chicken pox and measles.
In the fall term, there were no contagious diseases.
You will find a more detailed report from the school nurse.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
To the Superintendent of School of Medfield.
Dear Sir:
I hereby submit my annual report for the town of Medfield.
The aims of health education in the schools of Medfield may be briefly stated as follows:
1. To instruct children and youth so that they may conserve and improve their own health habits.
2. To establish in them habits and principles of living which, throughout their school life and in later years, will assure that abundant vigor and vitality which provides the basis for the greatest possible happiness and service in personal, family, and community life.
3. To influence parents and other adults through the health- education program for children to better habits and attitudes, so that the school may become an effective agency for the pro- motion of the social aspects of health education in the family and community as well as in the school itself.
4. To improve the individual and community life of the future; to insure a healthier and fitter nation and race.
This program has been followed this past year by these means:
1. The teachers have efficiently co-operated with the school physician and school nurse to bring about better health condi- tions among their pupils by the correlation of health studies with other lessons.
2. The drawing supervisor has co-operated by the making of health posters which are very attractive and instructive.
3. Our school janitors have aided us in our health program by their constant efforts to keep our schools clean and properly heated.
166
The school nurse's duties have been as follows:
1. Assisting the school physician at his annual health ex- amination, recording defects and notifying parents of same.
2. Weekly class room inspections: health talks.
3. Periodical weighing and measuring of children.
4. Home visits when necessary.
5. Assisting the examining physician at the pre-school clinic.
6. Supervision of the Dental Clinic.
The health of our school children has been excellent. Last winter several severe colds were reported, together with cases of whooping cough. By the Board of Health records, only the following communicable diseases were reported among school children:
Whooping Cough. 8
Diphtheria. 1
German Measles 2
To control communicable diseases, it is necessary to take measures to prevent the spread of infection, to reduce the likeli- hood of exposure to infectious diseases and to extend the pro- tection by means of immunization, particularly in childhood.
The parents of Medfield are co-operating with us in this program by their careful observance of quarantine rules, also by their interest in our pre-school clinic. The object of the latter is to give each child who is to enter school in September, a thorough physical examination, also to give this child Toxin- anti-toxin for the prevention of diphtheria. Parents are notified of defects and urged to have them corrected before the child enters school in September. Every child has the right to enter school physically fit.
Report of pre-school clinic, Dr. Park, examining physician.
24 pre-school children examined.
27 children who had Toxin-anti-toxin.
12 recommended for removal of tonsils and adenoids. 4 children having defective teeth.
The nutrition of our children has improved. As this is closely related to good health, simple nutritional rules have to be habitually observed. These are taught during my health talks and by the teachers. One of our underweight pupils spent
167
eight weeks at the Norfolk County Health Camp at Braintree. As a result, he gained fifteen pounds. This camp is financed through the Christmas Seal Sales.
The re-examination clinics were held under the supervision of the State Department of Public Health in October and November. The results are as follows:
Total number examined. 10
Total number X-rayed. 10
Total number improved. 10
Recommended for removal of tonsils and adenoids. 2
Recommended for dentistry 1
Dental Clinic
The Dental Clinic is sponsored by the local Red Cross chapter with contribution from the Visiting Nurse Association, The American Legion, and the American Legion Auxiliary. Dr. Carroll of Whitinsville conducts this clinic one-half day each week. Pupils of the Ralph Wheelock School are eligible to this clinic.
This work is becoming a very important part of our health education work. It is our aim to teach the children that proper nutrition, good digestion, sunshine, exercise, rest, and regular visits to the dentist (at least twice a year) all promote the health of its body and parts. If pupils and parents can be made to realize these facts and come to understand that mouth hy- giene is more than brushing of teeth and occasional visits to the dentist a valuable lesson is taught.
Report of Dental Clinic:
Total enrollment. 93
Total number of clinics 32
Total number of patients. 281
Total number of fillings 258
Total number of cleansing 35
Total number of extractions 193
May Day was observed and each year the children are be- coming more interested in a 100% Child Health Day.
168
I have attended all the health meetings held under the State Department of Public Health.
I want to thank the parents and teachers for their cooperation in all our school health activities.
Respectfully submitted,

The Age-grade table tells much about the progress of the pupils. The vertical column at the right shows the number of boys and girls in each grade; the horizontal row at the bottom, the number at each age. Since each child is expected to enter school at 5 1-2 to 6 1-2 years, he should be included among the bold-faced numbers under 5 or 6; those who have advanced one grade yearly will be found among the successive bold-faced numbers enclosed which run diagonally from the upper left to the lower right corner of the Table. Thus one is behind grade as many years as he is spaces above the heavy type; he is over age as many years as spaces to the right.
