THE SCHOOL REPORT
The usual departmental reports, statistics and tables are presented herewith for your careful consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM FISHER SIMS,
Superintendent of Schools.

Report of Principal
Eastham, Mass., January 10, 1926.
To the School Committee of the Town of Eastham :
All parts of the school work in each room are pro- gressing very favorably. With the opening of the Inter- mediate Room I feel that fine results are sure to follow. It has relieved the other rooms of their overburdened numbers and grades, and under the charge of our experienc- ed and well liked teacher, Miss Virginia Nickerson, Grades III, IV, and V are receiving excellent instruction.
The free cocoa now being made and served by the older girls to the whole school is greatly appreciated by all-and especially by those who could not afford to buy it previously. I wish to thank the Grange for their help in this, those who bought candy, and all who made our school entertainment a success by their patronage.
Respectfully submitted,
OTTO E. NICKERSON,
Principal.
Report of Music Supervisor
At this time in Eastham school we find our monotone group in the first four grades diminished to three in num- ber, which is a decided gain over our last year's situation.
The addition of another teacher, and separating grades three and four from grades one and two, is a great benefit to the music department. Under the previous grouping not enough time could be given to music in these grades. At the present time we are accomplishing work that is up to standard for these grades.
Boys' changed voices and monotones in the four upper grades makes progress very slow. Next year with the incoming fifth grade we ought to progress more rapidly and enjoy the music period so much the more.
I am glad to speak of the wonderful spirit of helpful- ness always to be relied on among the Eastham teachers.
Respectfully yours, M. B. DUMONT,
Supervisor of Music.
Report of Supervisor of Drawing
A great many people think a course in Drawing is practical only for those who are planning to make Art their life work, but that is not so. The real mission of such a course is to fit our young people to make the most of life.
An appreciation of beauty, whether in art or in nature, by broadening an individual's outlook must make him a happier and more contented person. It ought not to be difficult to teach that in a locality that is so full of natural beauty as the Cape. The incessant change of color in the water, the motion of the wind in the pines are a constant delight to the person whose eyes have been opened ..
From a practical standpoint, a Drawing course, by developing ingenuity in a student and skill in his fingers, gives him a new means of expression, a new language. Although probably few of the students will go deeper into Art than what is given them in the grade or high school there will be a very small percent who will not use the knowledge they have gained either in their chosen voca -· tion or private life. The girl who sells in a store is bet- ter equipped to help a customer having had a smattering of color and design. A boy who becomes a carpenter, for instance, having had the chance to develop his sense of proportion has a far better opportunity to rise in his profession. The person who has been taught to use good
84
taste in choosing clothes and house furnishings is a far more useful and happy person than one who would be completely at sea when confronted by such a problem. These are only a few of the many things an art course can do.
I find my work here very interesting and the teachers invariably interested and helpful.' The fact that there has been no Drawing supervisor for a few years has ham- pered my work more or less, because I have had to teach fundamentals in all grades and I haven't been able to do things in the upper grades I'd like to do. The children seem to like Drawing and I have been very much gratified with some of the results.
Respectfully submitted,
B. MARILLA RYDER,
Supervisor of Drawing.
Report of School Physician
CAPE COD HEALTH DISTRICT
I have the honor to submit a brief report of the work in the Cape Cod Health District, for 1925. This project, as is well known, is one of cooperative rural health pro- jects under the auspices of the U. S. Public Health Service working with the towns and in co-operation with the State Health Department. The work consists of medical in- spection, and other work in the schools, and medical and sanitary inspection throughout the district. Particular attention is given to dairies and food producing places and to the matter of bovine tuberculosis, and the control of communicable diseases.
Every town now has a district and school nurse who. visits the schools regularly and reports any necessary mat- ters regarding them, or health work in general, to the Health Officer. All school children in the district have been given the regular physical examination and their con- dition in general is good.
There have been no epidemics during the year, but there have of course been some scattering cases of com- municable diseases. A few cases of diphtheria developed in Barnstable, Mashpee, Wellfleet and Sandwich. £ There has been a little mild scarlet fever in Barnstable, Sandwich, Eastham and Truro. Minor diseases such as chicken pox,
86
impetigo, etc., have been reported from various towns in- cluding Chatham, Orleans, Dennis and Brewster. One im- ported case of typhoid fever developed in Barnstable, and two in Yarmouth which later died. There was one case of infantile paralysis in Cotuit which later died. In no case has there been any spread from a serious communicable disease after it has been discovered. It is wished to state that in every instance, without exception, quarantine has been strictly observed by all concerned. All contacts of diph- theria and typhoid cases were immunized and a start has been made in the immunization of children against diph- theria by means of toxin-antioxin. An effort has been made to vaccinate all school children against small pox, and the law is being complied with.
The Sanitary Inspector has done excellent work, especi- ally in connection with dairies and the tuberculin test in cattle. Many inspections have also been made in connec- tion with unsanitary places, dumping grounds etc. There has been frequent discussion regarding dumping grounds, and it is thought that considerable progress has been made in the matter.
The work of all the nurses has been excellent and every effort has been made to keep close watch of all matters in the various schools, which come under the jurisdiction of the Health Officer.
The district has been visited during the year by Sur- geon L. L. Lumsden, of the U. S. Public Health Service, Dr. George H. Bigelow now Commissioner of Public Health of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Dr. McKnight, Dis- trict Health Officer for the Southeastern District, Sanitary Engineer Sullivan of the U. S. Public Health Service, and others.
87
I wish to make acknowledgment to the various Boards of Selectmen, Boards of Health, School Committees, etc. re- garding their invariable support and cooperation.
Many articles have been published in the newspapers of the Cape, in an attempt to give publicity to Health Mat- ters.
Many clinics in connection with dental, eye and throat troubles, tuberculosis, etc. have been held, and the work of the nurses should be given especial mention in connection with the treatment and correction of defects.
Respectfully,
A. P. GOFF,
Cape Cod Health District.
Report of School Nurse
The health work has progressed in the school the past year uninterrupted by any epidemic, aside from colds. The routine physical examinations of the school children were made by the school physician. The vision and hearing tests were made and seven were found with defective vision, three of whom attended the Eye Clinic in Hyannis. The others I hope will be able to attend the next clinic. There is great need of dental work, quite a number of the children have had work done this past term but there still remains much to be done. The importance and use of the tooth brush is constantly urged in the hope of establishing a most important health habit. The Health Crusade was started early in the school term and much interest is shown in keeping up the Chore cards. This is one of the best methods of teaching health habits but requires encourage- ment and cooperation in the home.
As there are a number of underweights in the school, we have been weighing the children frequently and record- ing the weight on the report card to stimulate interest in the parents as well as in the children in increasing their weight.
The hot cocoa at noontime has been started and most of the children have it with their lunch.
Respectfully submitted,
ADA S. CREELMAN, R. N.,
School Nurse.
