EMPLOYMENT BUREAU.
During the last year an Employment Bureau has been in operation. Many pupils have been helped to positions of various kinds, from taking care of babies in the afternoon and on Satur- days to positions as stenographers and typewriters paying eight or twelve dollars per week. Boys obliged to leave school to help support themselves have been helped to good positions. Several members of the graduating class last year were helped to positions beginning as soon as graduation. We realize that this is not a necessary duty of the school, but since it is our business to prepare pupils for life, we should take as active an interest in placing pupils in responsible business and labor positions as in placing them in College or Normal School.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
CONCLUSION.
In this report I make no recommendations. It would be unwise, because you and the School Committee are well aware that extensive improvements and additions are impossible until more room is provided. We are very crowded at the present time, even with over fifty pupils in the Locke School. With a new building will come naturally additional courses and exten- sions of some of the present courses.
The forward movement in education demands that the program of exercises offered in the High School of the present day should include not only the academic subjects, but also a line of vocational training adapted for preparing boys and girls to enter directly upon the work of life. The Principal believes thoroughly in this modern type of school, and he is looking forward to the time when this type of High School, which he believes to be the birthright of every boy and girl, is established in Arlington.
In conclusion I wish to thank you for the most hearty support which I have ever received from you. The best results in any school can be had only when all the forces - School Board, Superintendent, parents, and teachers - work together with one common interest in view, the physical, intellectual, and moral advancement of the pupils in charge. I feel that this co- operation has existed and I am indeed grateful to all.
Respectfully submitted,
F. C. MITCHELL, Principal.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN.
Mr. John F. Scully, Superintendent of Schools, Arlington:
Herewith I submit my report as School Physician for the vear 1912.
The total number of pupils examined is 1527. In addition to these, on several occasions, every pupil in one or several rooms was examined when it was thought possible there might be a mild unrecognized case of contagious disease in a school building. These "walking cases" which are at no time ill enough to come under the eye of the family physician are frequently the means
1
164
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
of communicating the diseases of childhood. They are not by any means certain to convey the mild type of the disease, but commonly the secondary cases are of the most alarming nature. The moral is that any child who is at all indisposed should be kept at home until the parent is sure of the nature of the malady, or the family physician should at once be called in. A school building containing three hundred to five hundred young children is not a proper place to send an ailing child to learn the nature of the trouble.
The total number of pupils excluded temporarily is 61. The causes were as follows: scarlet fever, 1; grippe, 2; foreign body in the eye, 2; sore throat, 3; tonsillitis, 3; conjunctivitis, 5; exposed to diphtheria, 5; chicken pox, 6; mumps, 6; scabies, 8; pediculosis, 10; whooping cough, 10. In each case a note was sent to the parents indicating the nature of the trouble and suggesting that medical advice be sought. In many other cases where it was not necessary to dismiss the child, a slip, furnished by the State Board of Education, was sent home in a sealed envelope by the child, calling attention to adenoids, tonsils, decayed teeth, or other defect. In most cases the good of the child was considered by the parent and he was seen by the family physician and the defect remedied. In a few cases the warning has been neglected or considered as meddling with the parent's right to close his eyes to the present and future welfare of his offspring.
On three occasions it has seemed expedient to the Board of Health to close one or more schools on account of the prevalence of contagious disease. In January the Cutter and Locke Schools were closed, as there had been a number of cases of small pox at the Heights, and many had been exposed to the contagion. The buildings were fumigated and free vaccination for the school children established, and there was no spread of the outbreak.
In December the Parmenter School was closed for two weeks by the Board as there had been a number of cases of scarlet fever among the pupils, which naturally gave rise to a feeling of general uneasiness in the neighborhood. The building was fumigated. There has been no general outbreak, although an occasional case continues to be reported to the present time. In many ways, except in case of a general epidemic, I feel that the children are safer in school where they are carefully watched, than they are
165
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
after the school is closed and they meet at play, on the cars, at parties, church, etc.
It is certainly the intention and endeavor of the school au- thorities, including the teachers and school physician, to conserve the health of the well and point out the way for improvement of the less fortunate, and I bespeak the hearty co-operation of all having children in their charge.
CHARLES F. ATWOOD, School Physician.
