A suitable room for the doctor and nurse to carry on physical examinations should be planned. The upper hall is now used for this purpose and the children on that floor have to use the fire escape going and coming to basements during this time. This room could also be used for any child that is taken sick as the hall is the only place avail- able for a cot at present. The school is indebted to the various organizations of the town who so generously do- nated playground equipment which is immensely enjoyed by all the students during recess periods. It keeps them happily and healthily occupied as the playground itself still is in need of attention.


Since it is the aim of public school education to train for citizenship through character development it can in no better way be done than by letting the student realize his obligation and responsibility to the school, which we are attempting to do through the organization of a Student Council. This council is elected by students of the sixth grade to serve for a nine week period. To date this sys- tem has worked out very well, and the students are to be commended for their excellent work.


We were saddened by the death of Superintendent Herbert Archibald the latter part of the school year, and welcomed Mr. Elliott Diggle as his successor.


I wish to express my appreciation to the teachers for their co-operation, and to thank all those who have con- tributed in thought, time and effort throughout the school year.


Respectfully submitted,


ELIZABETH R. DWYER, Principal.

Report of the Sewing Supervisor


Mr. Elliott A. Diggle


Superintendent of Schools


Pepperell, Massachusetts


Dear Sir:


Following is my report of the sewing done in the Pepperell High School during the year of 1951.


Sewing starts in the 7th grade with the girls learning the fundamental stitches and the use of the electric sewing machines. They made simple aprons, gathered skirts and blouses.


The eighth grade girls make simple dresses and blouses and weskits.


Sewing is elective in the High School and the girls have made skirts, dresses, suits, and clothes for younger members in the family.


Respectfully submitted,


LENA M. COBURN, Sewing Supervisor.

Report of the Art Supervisor


To The School Committee and Citizens of The Town of Pepperell:


The $200.00 appropriated for art materials have made it possible for the sixth grades in the Groton Street School to have water-colors for the first time in many years. New water-color sets were obtained for the Junior High School and refills for the Shattuck School. This gives the students in the upper grades a new medium to work with and helps to promote more interest and enjoyment in the art classes.


Several of the elementary grade teachers have noticed the difference in the drawings of the children over the past two years. They feel, as I do, that the children in the lower grades are less inhibited in their pictorial expres- sions. At the same time many children in the upper grades still have a tendency to depend on something to copy from. This is probably due to past experiences in copying and a negative criticism of their work. With the necessity of thinking for themselves and receiving positive criticism, many more are losing this tendency.


With the wonderful co-operation of Mrs. Robert Turner, the Girl Scouts, and the art classes at the High School, cut-paper Christmas decorations were made for the hospital at Fort Devens. This program was done for the Lowell Chapter of the Junior Red Cross.


Respectfully submitted,


JOAN LITTLEHALE, Art Supervisor.

Report of the Music Supervisor


Mr. Elliott A. Diggle Superintendent of Schools Pepperell, Massachusetts


Dear Sir:


"Since singing is so good a thing, I wish all men would learn to sing." This quotation by William Byrd clearly amplifies my thoughts about our singing voice. To be specific and to the scope of my thinking I refer, or course, to the voices of my school children. The singing voice is the most convenient way to make music; not necessarily the most artistic music, but as I hear and accept it, I would like to think of it (and would like my pupils to think of it) as the most satisfying to them. I feel confident that an obvious growth and development in our children's voices is apparent. By this I mean that their ears are becoming more sensitive to true pitch, clear tones and, chronological development in music reading. Thomas Moore has to say this about singing: "Sing, sing, music was given to brighten the gay, and kindle the living."


In the Shattuck School a new set of books was pur -. chased for the fourth grade, and also a new set for the sixth grade. A new set will be installed in the fifth grade at the first of the new year.


A new set of books was purchased and is now in use for the Junior High School. New Christmas and octavo music was also purchased for the Senior High School.


Last June the mixed choruses of the Junior and Senior High Schools presented in a very artistic and professional manner, a two act operetta, "The Count and the Co-Ed," by Morgan O'Hara. Our sincere thanks to the art super- visor for the fine scenery. The mixed choruses also pre- sented the musical portion of the high school graduation.


96


Sincere thanks to Mr. Diggle, to the principals, Miss Dwyer, Mr. Carlton Burney, and Mr. Robert Patch and their fine staffs for all their co-operation.


Respectfully submitted, JAMES P. SAVAS, Music Supervisor.

Report of the School Nurse


Mr. Elliott Diggle Superintendent of Schools Pepperell, Massachusetts


Dear Mr. Diggle :


I hereby submit my report of school nursing service for the year 1951.


All pupils participating in athletics at the High School were examined early in the school year by Dr. Porter.


The recommendations of the State Department of Public Health have been followed and spaced examinations conducted. Grades two, four and six at the elementary buildings have been checked. Any children requiring treat- ment have received written notices. The parents have been assisted in making arrangements for having these defects corrected.


During these physical examinations, the value of our Dental Clinic has once again been demonstrated. A high percentage of the children have had dental care. Since the clinic opened three-hundred-fifty-four children have re- ceived treatment. During 1951 one-hundred seventy-seven children were treated. Of these five-hundred-ninety-seven fillings, one-hundred-ten extractions and eighty-nine clean- ings. For comparison during 1950 one-hundred seventy- seven children were treated, five-hundred-nine fillings, three-hundred-twenty extractions, thirty-five cleanings. The high percentage of extractions in 1950 was due to lack of early dental care. In addition, Dr. Cross is now giving sodium flouride treatments to the children as their work is completed. He has given twenty-two flouride treatments. Both Dr. Cross and Mrs. Colbert have been most patient and kind to the children. Mrs. Keyes has been in charge of transportation of these children. She and her group of workers deserve much credit for their untiring efforts.


98


Miss Barbara Desmond of the State Department, rend- ered valuable service in the establishment and continua- tion of our Dental Clinic and application of sodium flouride. We were disappointed when her services were discontinued by the State Department. The District Nurse Association voted to employ Mrs. Francis Fisher, dental hygienist from Littleton, to apply sodium flouride. She came from April 24th through June 27th, and gave twenty children four treatments each, making a total of one-hundred treatments. When the clinic reopened in September, it did not seem ad- visable to continue this service. Dr. Cross agreed to give some treatments at each clinic.


If the flourine were added to the drinking water every child would derive benefit from the expenditure. Both the Federal and State Departments have signified their appro- val of this method.


Immunization clinics were held at the High School. Triple, plain diphtheria and tetanus booster doses were given. March 27th one-hundred-seventeen children were treated, April 20th forty-six children, May 16th thirty- three children. High School pupils assisted; Nursing Board members transported and helped with records.


The Pre-school Clinic was held at the High School. The children were vaccinated; Miss Almeda King, nutri- tionist, was present to advise parents. Dr. Porter was in charge. The vision machine was borrowed from the State Department during July for the pre-school group. As a result five children obtained glasses before entering school.


Follow up visits have been made for all school children. Handicapped children were visited. One child remains at Canton Hospital School.


During September, Mrs. Louise McLeod tested the eyes of all school children. She did a most, thorough and efficient job. Written notices were sent to the parents of all children. A total of one-hundred-ten notices were sent- nine from Groton Street School, sixty-one from Shattuck School and forty from High School. Many of these chil- dren are wearing attractive new glasses.


99


During November, the State owned Maico audiometer was loaned me and six-hundred-sixty-eight children's ears were tested. This was done in groups of ten and those failing the group test and the first and second grades were given individual tests. Audiograms are made of all failing the test for comparison with previous findings. At High School twelve pupils have some loss and all have had treat- ment. Of these, ten had been found in previous years. At Shattuck School ten had some loss and all are under treat- ment. Three of these were first grade pupils. At Groton Street School three notices were sent, and three others are under care as a result of previous examinations. Two who failed last year's test were able to pass the group test be- cause of successful treatments. Pupils having vision or hearing defects have been given front seats.


Through the American Red Cross Chapter at Lowell, Miss Frances Larkin, R. N. has instructed three groups of High School girls on Home Nursing.


Many High School pupils had chest X-rays at the community X-ray program in July. The Clinic services of the State have been used frequently-Crippled Children, speech, lip reading and rheumatic fever.


I have enjoyed my work and have had splendid co-oper- ation from all members of the School Department.


Respectfully submitted,


ELLEN E. DEE, R. N.

Report of Board of Public Welfare


The Annual Report of the Board of Public Welfare covering the year 1951.


The report covers assistance in the four following categories :


1. General Relief.


2. Old Age Assistance.


3. Aid to Dependent Children.


4. Aid to the Disabled.


1. General Relief. This includes aid to the needy of food, clothes, shelter and medical care at home or in hospi- tals. The total cost is paid by the town. In case the person aided is not a Pepperell resident the town is later reimbursed for the expense by the town of this person's residence or by the State Department of Pub- lic Welfare. The budget for 1952 is lower because the new category of assistance "Aid to the Disabled" will assist persons with a serious illness previously aided with town aid or general relief.


2. Old Age Assistance. Citizens over 65 years receive this assistance provided they meet the eligibility re- quirements. The expense is shared by Federal, State and local government.


Effective October 1, 1951, there was a 5.9 percent increase in the allowances which had been figured according to the standard budget of the State Depart- ment of Public Welfare, required by law to meet the cost of living increase.


Certain revisions were effective in the Old Age Assistance law January 1, 1952. The legal minimum allowance to cover the budgeted needs is increased


107


from $40.00 to $75.00 in case of a person living alone and from 30 to 55 dollars for a person living in a family group.


The leisure time activity allowance of $4.00 month- ly is added. The expense for this allowance of $4.00 per month per person formerly paid by the State is now shared by town and State. The legal exemption for a contribution toward the support of the parent is raised $500.00 for both married and single children.


The department will be obliged to increase allow- ance of certain persons who formerly received con- tributions from children.


The ruling in regard to property ownership now requires a lien on real estate with sales value exceed- ing $1,500.00.


3. Aid to Dependent Children. Children living with rela- tives, including parents, unable to support them re- ceive allowances, the cost being shared by the Federal Government, State and town. The cost of living in- crease of 5.9 percent was effective October 1, 1951.


No increase in case load is anticipated because of the improvement in employment opportunities.


4. Aid to Disabled. The program of assistance, effective November 1, 1951 removed from the roles of general relief those persons in need because of a serious physical disability. Eligibility is determined by the local Welfare Department, in cooperation with a medi- cal team of the State Department of Public Welfare.


The Federal Government and the State reimburse the town up to 75 percent of the cost of this program.
