The Health Officer attended the New England Health Institute at Concord, N. H., and gave an address on "Co- operative Health Work on Cape Cod". A great deal of in- terest was shown regarding this work and a good many questions were asked. The Institute was attended by rep- resentatives of all of the New England and several other States.
Considerable time has been devoted to the County Health Department bill, and this was signed by the Gover- nor in March and has been accepted by the County Commis- sioners. All of the towns have signified their approval of this subject.
A number of students from the Harvard School of Public Health visited the district during the year.
In general it may be said that Barnstable County has been comparatively free from communicable diseases. Chat- ham perhaps suffered the most, as apparently a majority of the non-immunes contracted measles last winter. Measles and whooping cough are perhaps the most difficult of all communicable diseases to control. There has been some diphtheria and some scarlet fever but the cases were not severe and there was little spread.
97
In general it is believed that results of the year's work have been satisfactory, and the Health Officer wishes to acknowledge the unfailing co-operation of all officials and others on the Cape. Visitors are always welcome at the office, where detailed reports of the work may be seen. This one is necessarily general and brief.
Respectfully, A. P. GOFF, M. D.

Report of School Nurse
The routine physical examinations of the school chil- dren, by the school physician, were made in November and the children were found to be in very good physical con- dition.
Some carious teeth were found but, on the whole, the dental condition is improving. If parents could only realize how important it is to the permanent teeth to keep the cavities in the first, or milk teeth filled and in good condition, we would find many more boys and girls in school with good strong even teeth. Few people rightly value the im- portance of good sound teeth and the great part they play in our general health and success in life.
· We were unfortunate in having a diphtheria carrier in school and consequently we had several light cases of diph- theria during the spring term and one or two in the begin- ning of the fall term. We were pleased to have so many children take the toxin antitoxin to protect them against this dreaded disease and I hope all the children in the school will take it next year.
I have made the weekly visits to the school, weighing and measuring the pupils once a month and making a gen- eral inspection from time to time to keep up the individual interest in personal hygiene.
At the beginning of the winter term the hot cocoa was
99
started. We consider this hot drink at noontime a great benefit to the school chidren inasmuch as it stimulates them and gives the energy which they need for the after- noon work in the class room.
Respectfully yours, ADA S. CREELMAN,
School Nurse.
