The supervisor has spent many hours outside of school time kectographing role songs for this next school year. Over a thousand have been done in this way. The regular role song book, now in the hands of the primary teachers, has been used for several years supplemented with art songs from other sources. It was deemed advisable to let this music "text" book rest for a year using instead kecto- graphed songs. Consequently a good deal of time has been spent in looking up material from other books and select- ing and copying. In choosing these songs much thought was given not only to their technical value but for their correlation with other subjects and for their artistic merit. The music in the outside schools is progressing as well as can be expected considering the number of grades included in each class. In some cases marked improvement has been made.

At the High School the chorus work is still run on the elective basis. There is always a strong inclination on the part of the boys to sing soprano. This is due largely to a feeling for melody. The majority have not advanced be- yond this stage. Harmony does not have such a strong ap- peal. However, each year more stress is placed on part singing and the response is growing. The bass and tenor parts in an unbalanced chorus where female voices pre- dominate, are not conspicuous.
To encourage self-confidence and poise the supervisor has called on groups of pupils in the grades to stand before the class and sing. This same idea has been followed in the High School in a less degree. The High School chorus took part in the Founders' Day exercises last March.
The supervisor made another attempt to organize glee clubs this last year with very happy results. There was a large attendance of both boys and girls at first and two separate clubs started. Later, when some dropped out for lack of time or because of inconvenient transportation service, the two groups were joined giving a present mem- bership of about sixty.
The glee club meets every Monday afternoon at the close of the regular school session on the day the super- viser comes to the Sunset Avenue School.
In most high schools there are boys' and girls' glee clubs and the supervisor has long wanted such an organi- zation at the Howard School. Her proposition was to give her services, the pupils to be regular in attendance and to receive credit for their work, which proposition was ac- cepted. It is hoped that another year this work will grow in interest and will be included in the regular school cur- riculum as is the chorus and orchestra work at the present time, and that the glee clubs will meet regularly once a week.
In closing, may I express through you my appreciation to the teachers for their friendly co-operation and willing response at all times.
148
I thank you for your kindly interest in the work of the supervisor. Any suggestion you may make for the im- provement of the school music would be gladly received.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
To the Superintendent of Schools and School Committee:
I herewith submit my annual report as School Nurse of West Bridgewater.
All the schools have been visited regularly.
A total of 498 Physical Examinations were made by the School Physicians; 71 had defective tonsils and ade- noids. Notices were sent parents, followed by home visits. Other diseases were found, such as swollen glands, enlarged thyroids, eczema, pink eye, poisoning from dogwood and ivy. Any child who has sores or eruptions is carefully in- vestigated by visits to doctor's office or excluded until dan- ger of infection has passed.
Weighed and measured all school children and notified parents of those who were 10 per cent. or more under- weight. Having a number that needed immediate atten- tion I secured permission from parents and 14 children were examined and had chest X-rays at South Hanson County Hospital on April 14, 1925. Transportation fur- nished by interested citizens. The older children especially have made rapid gains since.
The report from the Hospital is as follows:
2 Recommended for Sanitarium Care.
2 With heart trouble.
1 Gland case.
1 Malnutrition-gained 15 pounds this summer.
8 Recommended for re-examination in 6 months and to receive dental care.
149
One child who attended the Summer Health Camp eight weeks, returned improved and is still gaining. One was admitted to the Hospital and is almost ready to return home. These children in particular were treated at the Dental Clinic in May. A total of 481 have been weighed this year; 43 are 10 per cent. underweight. This number will be reduced as children improve under the discipline of the regular school life. I regret that more children do not take advantage of the mid-morning lunch that is served in the schools. Those who are able to buy milk are not al- ways the ones who need it most.
Hot cocoa, made with a large proportion of milk, is served under the supervision of Miss MacDonald. There is also an organized luncheon club, to promote manners, bet- ter lunches, variety and neatness of lunch boxes. The Sun- set Avenue School children have joined the "Modern Health Crusade" and are working for better "Posture."
Tested vision and hearing in the schools.
Thirty have defective sight; 4 'defective hearing. Sent notices to parents, followed later by home visits. Three children were taken to an oculist in Brockton; one obtained glasses; others will receive further treatment and glasses if needed.
Conferred with S. P. C. C. for a family of neglected children.
We are making a satisfactory progress in eliminating physical defects in our schools, but those entering each year increase the total because of the many cases of dis- eased tonsils and adenoids. A Clinic for pre-school chil- dren would overcome some defects and enable teachers to do their best work by having children physicially fit at the start of school life.
One hundred and forty-nine High School pupils were examined by the School Physicians; 10 had diseased tonsils that should be removed at once. Parents were notified. Three had other defects; 14 were 10 per cent. or more un- derweight. One hundred and fifty eye and ear examina-
150
tions were made by the nurse; 6 had defective vision.
Our Dental Clinic attracted much deserved attention, not only in our own district, but delegates from several towns visited us and were much interested in the efficient way the work was done. Few, if any, of the children will ever fear a dentist in the future.
The equipment which was loaned by the State was up- to-date in every respect .. The local Red Cross Chapter sup- plied working material and some instruments. The dentist furnished special devices, such as an up-to-date light that could be slipped under the tongue and run along the gums to expose cavities and locate trouble that could not be de- tected by probing.
Our Hygienist was particularly adapted to the work and covered well the subject of dental publicity. Tooth brush drills were given in all the class rooms in addition to individual instruction at the clinic. The Parent-Teachers' Association paid for the services of the dental hygienist for five weeks at $30.00 per week. We charged 25 cents for cleaning teeth of grade pupils and 50 cents for High School pupils.
The Red Cross Committee took entire charge of den- tist and supplies, which totalled over $300.00. Cash received $105.95.
359 Cleanings in grade school.
34 Cleanings in High School.
56 Children had fillings.
61 Children had extractions.
35 Children had welfare cases.
It was difficult to keep account of the number of ex- tractions and temporary fillings in each case as they were too numerous.
In making a survey of the year's work one cannot re- alize how much has been accomplished. Experience has taught other towns that it takes at least five years before realizing results, so we should not get discouraged after
151
one month's trial. To get permanent results we will have to confine filllings to primary grades unless we receive larger donations financially. The filling of the crack or crevice in the six year molar is comparatively new, but serves to preserve this important tooth and must be done at an early age.
That we have, at least, made a beginning and aroused interest, is proved by the fact that many have visited their own dentist during the summer and have had permanent fillings.
There is still need of much work in the primary grades, as only a few ever have dental care before coming to school.
I wish to thank everyone who took interest in the project, especially Mr. Arthur Ryder, who was so interested and gave so generously of his time and effort to make the Dental Clinic a success.
Respectfully submitted,
LILLIAN M. HEWITT, School Nurse. .
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIANS
As a result of the annual examination of the school children we found conditions improved due to the co-oper- ation of the parents and to the vigilance of the school nurse in bringing to the attention of the School Physicians cases requiring attention. So true is it that we deem it wise to restate the following:
"A number of the pupils have profited by our advise in the matter of diseased tonsils, having them removed and adenoids also, if present, and are showing a marked im- provement, both mentally and physically. The correction of even minor ailments frequently rectify nervous or anaemic conditions.
152
"The standing of the schools largely depends on the physical condition of the pupils. The physical condition of the pupils depends on the home life, and parental care which provides proper food, proper clothing, including also proper periods of rest and sleep."
There has been but few cases of contagious or infec- tious diseases among the school children during the cal- endar year and no school has been closed on that account. We have found it necessary to have the sanitary con- ditions of some of our school buildings rectified and are glad to state that some of these conditions have been improved. As there is no inspection of plumbing in town it would seem wise, especially in new school buildings, to have the plumb- ing inspected and approved by some one competent to do so before accepting it and so saving the expense of alterations afterward. The School Physicians would be pleased to co- operate in this matter as in fact it is part of their duties.
Over one hundred children have been examined by the School Physicians at their offices for readmission to school after illness.
The details of our annual examinations of the school children will be found incorporated in the School Nurse's report. Also the diagnosis and treatment advised in cases when required.
We wish to thank all those connected with the schools for their cordial co-operation.
