"Most of our books are issued free of charge by the State Department and the United States Department of Justice. I have asked my classes to buy only two books, which cost about 40c each during 1942-43.


"This school in Adult Civic Education is doing so much in making new citizens and better citizens that I hope the alien population will continue in their enthusiasm to make this a better community."


HEALTH


Dr. John P. Nickerson makes the following report as School Physician :


"I am pleased to report a very successful year so far as the general health of the pupils is concerned. A few light cases of scarlet fever early in the year and the present epidemic of influenza, mild in type, has resuted in a minimum loss of school time.


"The routine examination revealed only three cases of minor skin and scalp diseases. [This is an all-time low record. The alertness of the teachers, the vigilance of the school nurse and the cooperation of the parents have resulted in making these diseases as rare as they were common only a few years ago.


"Special attention this year is being given to the exam- ination of the feet. The shoes were removed and deviation from normal noted. A careful diagnosis is not attempted, but those with defects or deformities are referred to the


-84-


family physician, or a specialist for careful study.


"As the findings of the Selective Service Boards are made known it is more and more apparent that many of the defects causing rejection were defects which could and should have been prevented early in life. In fact, many were present when that man was a school child. It has shown that New England has a very high index of dental defects and Harwich is particularly unfortunate in having an uusually large number. The progress we are making in correcting dental defects has been interrupted owing to war conditions, but we hope to find a dentist in the near future. "It may be said that final victory over the Axis forces will be won before our boys and girls will be entering the service. After all great wars there has been a period of adjustment accompanied by a period of bad times. It seems to me it will be equally important to maintain good health in peace as in war."


Miss Adelyn J. Peabody reports on her work as school nurse as follows : 1


During the summer 5 children were sent to Camp, two through Kiwanis Club and three to Pocasset. It seemed to help them very much.


Several tonsilectomys were done during the summer, and home visits were made regarding head conditions.


We have had some head lice (pediculosis) and we should like to bring this condition to the attention of parents so that they may watch heads more closely. Several inspec- tions are made during the year and children sent home for treatment.


Vaccinations have been checked up and we urge all parents to have this done before children enter school. The Toxoid Clinic was held in June for the pre-school children by Dr. A. P. Goff of Hyannis and it is our aim to have all children have the inoculation for diptheria.


We are giving a quart of milk daily to a child who was in a run down condition; two other children were given coats and clothes to stay in school.


Physical examinations were done by Dr. Nickerson and according to a new law in Massachusetts, feet were carefully looked over. Exercises are given in the "gym" classes at school and exercises to be done at home were


-85-


given. The main difficulty seems to be the flat shoes the children are wearing. Results of the physical examina- tion were checked and corrected.


The Elementary School lunch room opened this year and we are delighted to have the children have hot lunches and we hope to see definite gains at the end of the year. A very well balanced and nourishing meal is prepared for them which includes milk and the children seem to anti- cipate the mea.


We are glad to announce that the Dental Clinic will be held in the spring by Dr. Malcolm McIntosh of Har- wich Port and Boston. We shall charge a small fee to help defray the costs of supplies. The Dental Clinic is sponsored by the Harwich Visiting Nurse Association and the children are treated starting with the first grade and working through the sixth.


ATTENDANCE


In his report as Supervisor of Attendance, Mr. Ryder makes the following statement :


"As in previous years, I have taken a census in Oc- tober of all children in the town between the ages of five and twenty-one.


"In accordance with the provisions of Section 69 to 73, inclusive, of Chapter 149 of the General Laws of Massachusetts as amended by Acts of 1939, Chapter 461, Section 7 and 8, I have issued badges to all newsboys in Harwich-ten in all.


"I have also issued forty-seven Educational and Em- ployment Certificates as required by the General Laws. I have investigated many causes of absence and when truants were found they were apprehended and brought into school."


OUTLAY


There have been some expenditures for outlay which were due to the national emergency. By direction of the Federal authorities we were forced to convert one of the boilers at the High School and the boiler at the Old High School Building to burn coal instead of oil for which they were equipped. This meant securing new grates for the High School boiler and building a new coal bin. This coal bin will hold approximatey one carload of coal and


-86-


that building is now adaptable for handling coal under one boiler and oil in the other.


This problem of leaks in the wall of the High School still continues to exist. Other problems of upkeep there will require considerable attention in the very near fu- ture, or I fear deterioration of formidable proportions may result. The present is a time when labor and material is difficult to secure and this complicates the problem.


In conclusion, I wish to state that the problems ow- ing to shortages of personnel and equipment, irregular- ity of attendance because of occupational needs, and other problems of the times have been met and handled constructively through the cooperative efforts of all con -. cerned. By the same methods it has been possible to make certain definite gains.


Respectfully submitted,


CHARLES H. PRATT, Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF 55TH COMPANY, 30TH INF., M. S. G.


Harwich, Massachusetts, January 7, 1944.


SUBJECT The Harwich Company, Mass. State Guard.


TO: The Selectmen of the Town of Harwich.


1. I am particularly proud to report the Harwich Com- pany, through it's regular drill periods and extra missions and problems, has attained a marked degree of Guard proficiency. The officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted men, now numbering forty-seven, have demon- strated military ability and knowledge, and including administration, property and supply. On January 12, 1944, the Company will undergo a federal inspection. The regi- mental, battalion, and company officers have every confi- dence that the inspector will report the company as an out- standing State Guard Unit.


2. The armory facilities have been improved. The sup- ply room has been entirely renovated, shelves and a desk installed, and equipment and supplies are neatly stacked thereon. Most of the men have been instructed in rifle marksmanship on our new rifle range, which has been offi- cially approved by the State. A rifle team sent to New Bedford to participate in the Massachusetts State Rifle Com- petition, brought home a handsome trophy.


3. Pertinent Army training films were shown, an expert: Jiu-Jitsu instructor from the U. S. Coast Guard ably taught the company, a member of the Harwich Police demonstrated seizure and arrest, and the members of the Massachusetts Women's Defense Corps gave every possible assistance.


4. The Guard has been called upon to perform two emergency missions :- two occasions of saboteur scares-a night of duty stopping and searching all cars on the high- ways of the Cape (about which it should be said the pub- lic was enthusiastically cooperative and in conjunction with the Army, a systematic search of the terrain of Wellfleet. Truro and Provincetown by the regiment. A guard was


-98-


posted at a recent army plane crash until army personnel could reach the scene and take over. The company was alerted but did not participate in the search for girls lost in Massachusetts Bay. Several CPX War Games were car- ried out within the Battalion and Regiment and with the regular Army. The fine cooperation between the troops of the Federal and State Governments was clearly demon- strated at the Massachusetts National Guard convention, which an officer from the company attended.


5. Over twenty of our officers and enlisted men have gone into the Federal armed forces. Many of them have written to testify that their State Guard training has gained for them rapid promotions.


6. The Guard as a whole, and the company through one of it's officers have received instruction on forest fire con- trol and are ready to perform in an emergency. The abil- ity of the Guard to concentrate a large contingent of men on short notice need not be emphasized.


7. We look forward this year to improving our radio communications technique and equipment. The local police and county law-enforcement agencies have offered unlimited assistance with their fine already established radio system.


8. The Battalion Headquarters, Major H. B. Albro, com- manding, and detachment is located in Harwich Center. The initiative, enthusiasm, and leadership originating in our oivn headquarters, has been an inspiration to all Guard organizations on the Cape and Islands.
