Parents are cordially invited to visit the school sessions and observe the daily procedure or consult with the teachers. Each teacher is on duty in the building one afternoon in the week for the purpose of meeting any parents or friends who wish for an interview.


Since I have been connected with the school but a part of the year, it is impossible to give as complete a report as might be given at some time later.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE.


-


MR. CARROLL H. DROWN,


SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :-


I hereby submit the Annual Report of School Nursing done in the Mendon Schools for the year ending December, 1928.


Center school visited once a week, usually Tuesday mornings when school was in session. Albeeville, with very few excep- tions, visited once a week, also Tuesday mornings. East Mendon visited Tuesday afternoons.


The routine is to visit each class room, talk with the teacher about health conditions and when time permits, give a health talk, inspections or do some type of health teaching. At this time any child may talk with the nurse, ask her advice, tell her about some home condition, and this very often leads to a home visit.


With the help of the teachers, health subjects are taught to the classes by means of posters, stories, games, songs and plays. This past year very good work has been done by the pupils in Albeeville, East Mendon and the third, fourth and fifth grades of Center School, along these lines. One class or school making posters, writing stories and plays for another class.


In May we had a Child Health Day celebration in all the Schools with almost every child taking an active part. This con- sisted of health plays, songs, drills and health verses spoken by the children. Albeeville gave a most complete celebration, start- ing with an out door program, followed by exhibiting in the class room, health posters, a health sand table, and written work using health as the subject, all done by the children.


During the year, six children were taken to hospitals to have physical defects corrected, three to dentists, four to a doctor's of-


92


fice for examination and advice, and five to have special chest examinations and X-Rays.


The physical defects found by Dr. Campbell in examining the school children, including the High School, are as follows:


No. of enlarged Tonsils and Adenoids 50


No. of enlarged Adenoids


8


No. of defective teeth 65


No. of poor posture 7


No. of swollen glands 8


No. of Anaemia 25


No. of wax in ears 5


Notices of defects found sent to parents.


The following is a summary of the work done:


Home visits made 98


Health talks given 93


Inspections for cleanliness 391


Inspections for disease 30


Treated, minor injuries, etc. 23


We had a few cases of mumps, measles and scarlet fever at Center and East Mendon Schools throughout the year.


I wish, at this time to thank Mr. Drown, the teachers, and the School Committee for their cooperation and help.


Respectfully submitted,


HELEN C. GRADY,


School Nurse.
