SCHOOL NURSE'S ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1939.
To MR. JULES I. PHILIE,
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :-
May I present to you the annual report of nursing work done in the Mendon Schools for the year ending December 31, 1939.
The school was visited on Tuesday of each week, when school was in session, throughout the year.
In January Dr. Vestal from the Boylston Sanatorium skin-tested 55 children as the first step in the fifth annual school chest clinic. Earlier in the month Dr. Glidden from the Boylston Sanatorium showed moving pictures of a chest clinic to the Junior and Senior High School pupils and teachers, demonstrating and explaining the procedure. 13 children, who were contacts to tuberculosis or showed a positive skin test, were given a chest X-ray and a complete physical ex- amination.
In April and May Dr. Fielding from the Worcester County Extension Service was in charge of the annual school dental clinic. This clinic was in session in the science labora- tory at Center School.
The following is a summary of the work done at this clinic. 280 children's mouths were inspected. 100 cleanings, 314 fillings and 92 extractions were done. 121 children had some work done on their teeth, and 96 had their dental work completed.
The Annual Toxoid Clinic for the prevention of diph- theria among the pre-school as well as school children was in session in April and May. 34 children received the three pro- tective doses of Toxoid.
108
In May the school nurse arranged with the County Ex- tension Service and the Southern Worcester County Health Association for a lecture and moving picture on Posture and Nutrition for the high school students.
The last of May and the first week in June were busy for the school nurse, weighing and measuring the children for the final report to the parents of the progress made throughout the year and awarding teeth tags to those pupils whose mouths were in good condition.
The school work was carried on in the summer, arrang- ing for the corrections of physical defects, visiting children who were to enter school for the first time in September and urging early vaccinations and the correction of physical de- fects. About twenty of the defects found by Dr. Campbell in his 1938 examination were corrected throughout the year.
One little girl who is a contact to a case of tuberculosis was sent to the Sterling Health Camp for the summer. This was paid for by Christmas Seal sale money.
In September Miss Mildred Salmond, who has been doing school work in Mendon for some years, resigned from the District Nursing Staff to go to Vermont. Miss Olive Rogers was appointed to take her place as school nurse.
The time of the school nurse in September, October and November was almost wholly given over to Dr. Campbell's physical examinations, weighing and measuring the pupils in preparation for Dr. Campbell and general inspections of the pupils that will be given in 1940.
The following is a summary of the defects found by Dr. Campbell among the children examined. Enlarged tonsils, 33; enlarged tonsils and adenoids, 4; diseased tonsils, 4; anemia, 6; heart murmur, 6; irregular heartbeat, 3; slight heart condition, 2; wax in ears, 12; symptoms of nervous- ness, 2; eczema, 1; eye conditions needing attention, 2; dental cavities, 40.
Notices of the defects found were sent to parents or guardians.
109
Mumps, german measles, impetigo and chicken-pox were the diseases reported and investigated throughout 1939.
The following is a summary of the work done in the school buildings. General inspection of pupils, 610; class- room inspections of pupils, 656; pupils inspected for disease, 227; pupils excluded from school, 40; pupils given advice, 229; pupils treated for minor injuries, 42; health talks given to classes, 41; talks with teachers regarding pupils, 156; home visits, 190.
Three children were transported to doctors' offices for treatments.
Two children were transported to Memorial Hospital Eye Clinic in Worcester for a check on an eye condition.
In closing I wish to thank Mr. Philie for his cooperation, the teachers, School Committee, Board of Health and Wel- fare Board for their continued assistance, and the parents for their confidence and support.
Respectfully submitted,
OLIVE S. ROGERS, School Nurse.
HELEN C. GRADY, Supervisor.

REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR.
MR. JULES I. PHILIE,
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :-
MENDON, MASS.
Dear Sir :--
I hereby submit my report of work done in music in the schools of Mendon for the year ending December, 1939.
Throughout the grades and High School, we have tried to teach the proper use of the singing voice. The pupils in the grades have been encouraged to use head tones. This prac- tice helps to cultivate a true sense of pitch, and avoids any danger of voice strain.
Note reading has been stressed this year, and musical calisthenics and time drills have been used to develop rhythm.
Many of the well-known folk songs and all of the stand- ard patriotic songs have been taught in the grades. In the High School these have been reviewed and works from the classics have been added.
I wish to express my thanks to you, Mr. Philie, the School Committee, Mr. Clough, and all of the teachers for the cooperation given to me in my work.
Respectfully submitted, DAVID N. GELLATLY,
Supervisor of Music.
Mendon, Mass., January 17, 1940.

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 complete notice thereof to be given to the clerk of the town in which such child is born. Parents should give this their prompt attention as it is very important and necessary for complete record.
SOME OF THE MANY
REASONS WHY BIRTHS SHOULD BE RECORDED.
To establish identity.
To prove nationality.
To prove legitimacy.
To show when the child has the right to enter school.
To show when the child has the right to seek employ- ment under the child labor law.
To establish the right of inheritance to property.
To establish liability to military duty, as well as ex- emption therefrom.
To establish age and citizenship in order to vote.
To qualify to hold title to, and to buy or sell real estate.
To establish the right to hold public office.
To prove the age at which the marriage contract may be entered into.
To prove age to determine validity of a contract entered into by an alleged minor.
To prove age for Old Age Assistance.
To prove age so as to have the right to take Civil Service Examinations.
8
Your co-operation to the end that all births may be prop- erly recorded will be greatly appreciated.
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, 1941.
I take this opportunity in wishing the Townspeople much prosperity during the year 1941.
Respectfully submitted, ALBERT S. COLEMAN, Town Clerk.
