The usual program of school activities is being steadily carried on. A three act play, under the direction of Miss Marion Remmert, was presented in the Town Hall, December 8, 1934. A short schedule of baseball was played in the spring
93
months and other school features proceed in the customary manner.
A brief comment relative to the annual Washington trip may well be in order. The pressure of community activities and the rather constant appeal to the public for financial sup- port of the many worthy local organizations and interests make it more and more apparent that the present methods of raising the necessary money are inadequate. Some sort of individual saving must supplement, to a considerable degree, the system now in use if the Washington trip is to continue.
Valuable improvements have been made in organization and in the physical condition of the building. The crowded school rooms, common for the past few years, have been great- ly relieved through the use of the basement room of the Taft Public Library. The drilling of a new well has provided a water supply which, undoubtedly, will prove fully adequate for future needs, and painting the exterior of the building has added to its attractiveness.
Once more, I take the opportunity to express the appre- ciation of the teaching staff to the Superintendent of Schools, the School Committee, and the townspeople for their support and cooperation.

HENRY P. CLOUGH,

SCHOOL NURSE'S ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1934.
To MR. MELDEN SMITH,
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :-
May I present to you the Annual Report of nursing work done in the Mendon Schools for the year ending De- cember 31, 1934.
One day a week was spent in school nursing during the school year. Usually the morning was given to Center and the afternoon to East Mendon, the library school and home visiting.
Home Nursing Classes were held each Tuesday after school hours for the seventh grade girls.
The following contagious diseases were reported: measles, chicken-pox, impetigo, ring-worm, scabies, grippe colds and scarlet fever.
In January an outbreak of measles was reported at Center School. Daily visits were made for two weeks advis- ing the exclusion of suspicious-looking children.
The homes of absent children were visited to be sure all cases were under the care of a physician; as we con- sider measles one of our most dangerous diseases.
The pupils were weighed and measured as usual. The underweights were re-weighed at regular intervals. One child was sent to a summer health camp and was benefited by the change.
Child Health Day was celebrated in May and the pro- gram was greatly enjoyed by the large number of parents and friends present. The Center school program was held in the Town Hall, each class taking part. The Home Nurs-
95
ing Class enacted a play showing some of the lessons the girls have learned. The seventh grade teacher kindly assisted in coaching them. In East Mendon the pupils were able to give their entertainment out-of-doors.
Health tags, as awards for improvements shown through- out the year in health habits, were given to a large number of children.
Two children were transported to the Milford Chest Clinic for a follow-up examination.
During the summer one or more visits were made to sixty-five homes relative to the previous health examination. Fourteen defects were corrected, five others were under care, and several, due to illness or family finances, were postponed. There are many children left in need of dental care.
During the summer, visits were also made to pre-school children. Early vaccination and physical examination were advised. If the physical defects are corrected before enter- ing school, a child is better prepared for his work.
In November and December Dr. Campbell visited the three schools, and all pupils present were examined. Notices of defects were sent home to parents.
The following physical defects were found:
Defective teeth
39
Enlarged tonsils 36
Symptoms of adenoids
8
Diseased tonsils
5
Anaemia 4
Wax in ears
10
Eye conditions
4
Poor nutrition
1
Seven pupils with defective vision were reported by the teachers. The homes of these children were visited. Two pupils were taken to the Memorial Hospital Eye Clinic in Worcester, and three others obtained glasses.
96
In December Dr. Dudley, the District Health Officer of Worcester County, began the school chest clinic. This clinic will be held each year for seventh, ninth and eleventh grade pupils. One hour was spent in skin testing and one in read- ing the tests later.
Sutton was used as a center for X-Ray work, and three pupils were transported there.
A visit was made by Dr. Dudley and the county health nurse to arrange details of a Diphtheria Toxin-Antitoxin Clinic which will be held later. These prevention clinics are an important item in safe-guarding the future health of our school children.
We are looking forward to the installation of indoor toilets and hope it may be accomplished before another winter.
The following is a summary of the work done:
Cleanliness inspections 861
Pediculosis inspections 269
Inspected for disease 365
Teeth inspections 214
Excluded as suspicious
19
Treated for minor injuries, etc.

Pupils advised 238

May I take this opportunity to thank the parents, teach- ers, school committee, Welfare and Health Boards for their co-operation. Without this co-operation, our new projects would be unsuccessful.
Respectfully submitted,
MILDRED L. SALMOND,
School Nurse.

REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR.
MR. MELDEN E. SMITH,
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
MENDON, MASSACHUSETTS :
I hereby submit my report of the work done in music in the Mendon Public Schools for the year ending December 31, 1934.
The goal of our music instruction is the unfolding of the beauty of music in all its manifestations. We aim to bring every boy and girl into such contact with music that they may give richer, finer, and larger intake and outlet to their lives.
In our first three grades we directed our efforts toward giving every child the use of his or her singing voice, pleas- ure in song as a means of expression, sing pleasingly a rep- ertory of thirty to forty rote songs appropriate to the grade, imitative exercises for curing so called "monotones," and learning to read simple music. In the intermediate grades we have stressed further study of song analysis, two part singing, drill in tonal and rhythmical problems, and oral and written music dictation.
There has been an increased development of group and individual ability to sing and read songs in two and three parts in the upper grades, also effective experience with more advanced tonal and rhythmic problems, a knowledge of the Bass Clef, a cumulative repertory of memory songs, and an expanding appreciation of good music.
In our High School, choral works from the masters are being studied, new beauty in these works are disclosed, new
98
thrills experienced, and new emotions expressed. As a con- sequence there is a corresponding growth in knowledge, skill, and power.
I wish to express my thanks and deep appreciation for the splendid co-operation shown by my co-workers as well as the many courtesies extended me by the Superintendent, Principal of the High School, and the School Committee.
Respectfully submitted,
AMY YOUNG BURNS, Supervisor of Music.

NOTICE.
Parents and others are requested to carefully examine the above lists and if any errors or omissions are discovered, report them at once to the Town Clerk, that the record may be corrected, as it is of importance that the records of Vital Statistics should be complete.
Parents within forty days after the birth of a child, and every householder, within forty days after the birth in his house, shall cause notice thereof to be given to the clerk of the town in which such child is born.
Your attention is called to the provisions of Section 36 and 55 of Chapter 207 of the General Laws relating to mar- riages solemnized out of this state, which are as follows:
"Section 29 of Chapter 151 of the Revised Laws: If a marriage is solemnized in another state between parties liv- ing in this Commonwealth who return to dwell here they shall, within seven days after their return, file with the clerk or registrar of the city or town in which either of them lived at the time of their marriage, a certificate or declaration of their marriage, including the facts relative to marriages, which are required by law, and for neglect thereof shall forfeit ten dollars."
Blanks for the return of all Vital records can be obtained from the Town Clerk.
Attention is called to the fact that all dogs three months old or more must be licensed at the Town Clerk's office on or before April 1, 1936.
I take this opportunity in wishing the Townspeople much prosperity during the year 1936.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT S. COLEMAN,
Town Clerk.
