Cape Cod Health District
Hyannis, Mass., December, 1924
During the year of 1924 the Cape Cod Health District has operated in ten towns on the Cape. These towns are Barnstable, Chatham, Orleans, Yarmouth, Brewster, Dennis, Sandwich, Eastham, Truro and Mashpee. This work includes schools and Board of Health and Milk Inspection in seven towns, Board of Health and Milk Inspection in one, Milk Inspection only in one and school only in one.
Every town has a nurse on duty for district work or school work, all working in conjunction with the Cape Cod Health Bureau. All school children in the district have been given the regular physical examinations and all schools have been visited regularly by the Health Officer and nurses. Every effort has been made to correct defects found, by means of the regular family physician, and in cases where this was not possible, through clinics. Various dental, eye, mental, and tuberculosis clinics have been held and the number of defects corrected in school children created favorable comment by the United States Public Health Ser- vice. This work of correcting defects, of course, is largely due to the local nurses, working in conjunction with the Health Organization and other bodies.
51
No severe epidemics have occurred but various cases of such diseases as scarlet fever, infantile paralysis, measles, mumps, whooping cough, have occurred from time to time. In the cases of scarlet fever and infantile paralysis there was no spread from the isolated cases found, and in the oth- er diseases no undue spread. All cases are now reported promptly to and by the various Boards of Health.
All dairies have been regularly and efficiently inspected by the Sanitary and Milk Inspector and a great many cows have been tested. Hotels and other food places have been in- spected, water supplies tested and all nuisances found, cor- rected.
The question of dumping grounds and cheap incinerat- ors for rubbish and garbage, in the various towns is being considered.
The office of the Cape Cod Health District is now in the village of Hyannis, and a clerk is in this office, during office hours, at all times. The Health Officer lives in Hyannis, which appears to be the most central and accessible point, and can be reached at the office or at his home at any time.
The Health Officer has traveled during the year some ten or twelve thousand miles in the exercise of his official duties on the Cape, and has, it is hoped, given all necessary service to the district.
A good many talks have been made at various places and to such organizations as Woman's Clubs, Parent-Teach- ers Associations, and others, and regular talks in Health and Hygiene are being given in the schools of the district.
52
Co-operation of the inhabitants, and all local, state and federal authorities is excellent. I wish to acknowledge par- ticularly the aid given by the Boards of Health, School Committees, and various organizations such as the Wo- man's Clubs and others.
It is believed that the year has been a successful one, and there is no reason why the coming one should not be more so, as knowledge of the Cape and acquaintance with the inhabitants increases.
A. P. GOFF,
Cape Cod Health District.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
PUBLIC EDUCATION
A newcomer into any field of human endeavor is gener- ally watched, sometimes with suspicion, sometimes with great expectations. Fortunately for the happiness and wel- fare of all concerned in the field of education the prevail- ing spirit is one of helpfulness and cooperation. It is only natural that this should be so for the educator and the com- munity have a common interest, namely, the best possible development of the children of the community. The com- munity's interest is manifested by voluntarily taxing itself to a greater degree for the education of its children than for any other community project. The educator's interest is to direct the expenditures of these vast sums so as to bring to the community the best possible results.
