E. CAROLINE PIERCE Town Clerk.
BOARD OF HEALTH
In submitting this the 31st annual report of the de- partment we are pleased to record the past year as one without any unusual number of communicable diseases. We have given much thought and study to communica- ble diseases, and we are of the opinion that the number of cases of each reported annually among our school population can and should be reduced. Further along in the report we suggest how this may be accomplished. Our death and infant mortality rates will compare fa- vorably with surrounding towns of equal population. Reference to our morbidity report will show the various diseases and the number of each reported during the year.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
constitute a nuisance, and the application of knowledge gained by experience in preventing the spread of disease once it has started in the community. Communicable disease germs in one form or another are with us at all seasons of the year, and receiving as we do daily reports from the local physicians of all communicable diseases occurring within the Town, places us in a position to observe, and our observations would lead us to believe that the time is drawing near when serious consideration should be given to the employment of a full time school physician. One who would devote his whole time to the care of the children. Not to treat, but to prevent dis- ease gaining a foothold, by promptly excluding from school (temporarily) any child showing signs of ill- ness, and to advise with parents or family physician in each individual case. This plan, in a measure, would place the responsibility for the health, and perhaps the lives of some of our more than five thousand school children on the shoulders of the physician, and should certainly lessen the spread of a disease, at the same time lessen the anxiety of parents during the school life of their children.
In our report of 1925 we mentioned the "Ten Year Health Program" which the State Department of Public Health is to inaugurate throughout the Commonwealth for the purpose of forestalling or detecting Hilum or Juvenile Tuberculosis. Hilum or Juvenile Tuberculosis is most frequently found in children between five and twelve years of age. In the majority of cases it is con- fined to the lymphatic glands. It is now believed by the medical profession and tuberculosis specalists particu- larly, that at this age period of child life, the disease will more readily yield to intelligent treatment and that the physique can be built up, and by careful continued living, maintain sufficient immunity to resist the in- roads of the disease throughout adult life. On the other hand if neglected, the glands become swollen, break

down, resulting in pulmonary tuberculosis, and a life of suffering and misery. The program was carried out in Arlington during the month of April 1925, when three hundred and eleven undernourished children, with the consent of their parents underwent the examina- tion at the hands of these Public Health Specialists with the following results: Thirteen were found to be afflicited with Hilum Tuberculosis. Five with Latent Hilum Tuberculosis, and fifty were classed as suspicious cases. The parents of each child were furnished with a written report as to its condition. We shall probably be called upon, during the next few years, to assist fi- nancially some of these children in regaining their health.
Two very successful Schick test clinics were held during the year. Reports show that this wonderful preventive against Diphtheria is gaining in favor throughout the country. We shall hold two or more free clinics during the coming year.
In regard to our Dental Clinic, we are pleased to be able to repeat our report of former years, that the clinic is functioning satisfactorily, and add that the number of children requiring dental treatment is ever increasing. A detailed report of the work performed will be found in the report of the Dental Operator.
In our report of last year we stated that the Valley Sewer, the construction of which had already begun, would, we believe, be completed during the year 1925. In this we were disappointed. The work for various reasons was not pushed forward as rapidly as we had anticipated. We do hope however to see this sewer com- pleted to its terminus in Forest Street the coming year.
The weed growth in Spy Pond, while not a men- ace to health, is unsightly and more or less of a nuis- ance, giving forth as it does at times, an odor which is. disagreeable to persons obliged to reside in the vicinity of the pond. According to our records this growth and
216
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
these odors have been the cause of complaint for a period covering more than twenty-five years. During the past year we have been instrumental in interesting the State Department of Public Health to the extent of having them make a thorough investigation of the pond and the probable cost of the removal of this growth. The report of this investigation will probably come be- fore the Annual March Town Meeting of this year, at which time the voters can decide as to just what course they wish to pursue in the matter.
We receive from time to time complaints due to stagnant water lying in unaccepted streets. We would recommend that as many of these new streets be ac- cepted and rebuilt the coming year as possible, and that preference be given to those most in need.
We have requested the Board of Public Works to include in their budget sufficient means to allow the following :
Weekly collection of rubbish throughout the year.
Daily collections of garbage from commercial es- tablishments within the business districts from May 1st to November 1st.
The extension of sewer mains and house connec- tions wherever needed.
LICENSES AND PERMITS : An increased number of licenses and permits conforming with the statutes and our regulations were issued during the year.
The statistical reports, together with the reports of appointees, each giving an account of their work in detail, are appended.
Respectfully submitted,
ALFRED W. LOMBARD, CHARLES F. ATWOOD, M. D., ERNEST R. BROOKS, D. M. D.
