Placements of pupils in work and further training has shown a decided improvement over last year. One of the factors responsible is the practice of taking trips to training institutions. These include trips to nurse's training schools, colleges, business schools, and technical training institutions. Employment is once more reaching a highly competitive stage and training beyond high school is almost essential for the person who desires a successful vocational life. 100 per- cent more students entered adanced training schools in 1949 in comparison with 1948. This increase occurred in all of the high schools of Union 20. If this had happened in only one school, the increase might be attributed to an unusual class of graduates. In consideration of the evidence, it must be concluded that the emphasis placed on this important guid- ance area is responsible for the change. We are now becoming more concerned with the large number of graduates who go directly to work. It is hoped that in the future we can offer more definite training and preparation for a successful voca- tional life.
A follow-up study was made of the graduates of the classes of 1943-1944-1945-1946-1947. The graduates were sent an inquiry form covering a history of employment, the choice of an occupation, and education. We asked questions about when work was secured after graduation, how many job;
131
were held, how jobs were obtained, why graduates left jobs, when and where job training was obtained, the relation of high school training to their work, how well satisfied they were with their jobs, what was the high school occupational choice, why did they select their high school occupational choice, where did the graduate secure help in planning for his occupation, what high school studies were of value. what courses are now needed in the high school, what kinds of schools were attended beyond high school, and we ended with a request for any comment the graduate might feel free to make. The answers have been tabulated and we now have on hand many facts which can be used to improve our educa- tional program. A follow-up survey is scheduled for one. three, and five year intervals starting with the class of 1949 in order to have a continuous flow of information from our graduates.
Community cooperation reached a high level during Ca- reer Day when people from several nearby communities par- ticipated in furnishing occupational information to our pu- pils. Again this year, several speakers have offered to co- operate even further in opening their places of business to visiting groups of pupils. Community work has begun in the form of cooperative work programs and the setting up of scholarships.
Groups have been organized for the presentation of in- formation needed as a basis for the Guidance Program. Other information, similarly a base for the Guidance Service and in the interest of individual personal growth, is taking its rightful place in the total educational program. This work requires a serious consideration by the high school teachers and the principal. Our progress in this area is a direct reflec- tion of the work of the faculty and the administration.
Sincere thanks is extended to all who helped make the guidance program valuable for our children.

REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR
It is necessary when teaching children in any phase of the curriculum to lay a foundation for future work in the particular area in question. This means not only necessary methods and experience with media in the art field, but also in any subject matter. The first year spent as Art Supervisor in Union No. 20 was a most informative one for me-and provided valuable experience and knowledge as to the needs and interests of all the children.
In the necessarily short periods during which I visit each class in Eastham it is essential to provide adequate stimulation for the work the children do with crayon, paint and paper, or other media we might use. The motivation is based primarily on the interests which I have discovered in the school group as a whole. The essence of the work we do stems from the individual, beginning with the unit of the child-then on to the family. When an awareness of these two areas is reached, we move on to the social aspects of the child's life-his contacts at school, church, and in the town.
At times a verbal motivation is sufficient, but obviously it is not at all times the most interesting. Other means of stimulation are needed-the visual being one of the most im- portant and effective. I have supplemented our lessons with Kodachrome slides of Eastham and the surrounding towns. When the pupils see the places they know-in the color they remember-they gain a valuable source of ideas. Too, printed photographs and illustrative material are good when used as source reference and not as copy matter.
One of the hardest problems with which I have been faced in the time I have been teaching here has been the development of creativity and originality in each individual -in both the younger and older children. This then has been the foundation for all the work we do in all classes. Rela- tively, what the children do with their materials is not so important as how it is done.
133
Progress, nevertheless, has definitely characterized the art work of pupils in this town. A sincere interest in art forms and a willingness to explore creative areas shown by the children in this field have made the teaching of this subject a satisfying and gainful experience.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
The study of instrumental music in Eastham begins in the first and second grades. All possible rhythmical combina- tions are written on the blackboard. The pupils first clap these rhythms with their hands and later play them on the various rhythm instruments.
In the fourth grade the children are allowed to choose an instrument to study and receive individual instruction. This is carried on through the eighth grade.
The beginners started this year are as follows:
(8) Violins
(2) Celli
(1) Bass Viol
(2) Trumpets
(3) Clarinets
(1) Oboe
(7) Percussion
The orchestra at present is very small, having seven members, but we have hopes of many more in the near future.
I would like to thank Mr. Nickerson, all the teachers. pupils and parents for the splendid co-operation that has been extended to me this year.
Respectfully submitted,
RALPH I. SAUNDERS, Supervisor of Instrumental Music.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF VOCAL MUSIC Webster Whitney Tileston
Town of Eastham :
Vocal music in the Eastham school continues to be a subject and study affording the boys and girls of all ages. one of the greatest sources of pleasure and relaxation through the medium of group participation.
Enthusiasm and quality of work in the various grades rank particularly high, due in large part to the splendid work of the grade teachers and Mr. Nickerson as they drill during the week on the songs and problems that I have assigned.
Frequent programs with a different grade in charge each time give opportunity for those attending to hear along with the rest of the program some of the recent music that has been worked on.
REPORT OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE FOR EASTHAM FOR 1949
During 1949 we made 984 visits in Eastham to carry out the public health program. This is an increase of about 30 per- cent over 1948. In spite of this we were unable to give the amount of service we'd like to the town's rapidly increasing population. Our total program prohibited it.
We are particularly grateful to the school personnel and the town officials for their support and understanding. It has always been a pleasure to work with the Eastham School and the people of Eastham. We sometimes wonder, however, how much longer we can manage to function with- out organized community backing. Year after year we have called upon the Red Cross for transportation to clinics at Hyannis, Pocasset and even Boston, and the gallant' Red Cross has never failed us. During the war we had people busy with defense work, gas rationed, and care and tires at
135
a premium so it was logical to bank upon the Red Cross. Now the emergency has subsided, but we still call upon the Red Cross for all transportation. We are strongly in favor of trained volunteers, but the only volunteer health service we know of in town is that given each fall for the Eastham School dental clinic.
Again we were lucky in having no major epidemics. Mumps invaded the Cape after several light years so that Eastham had a taste of it but not heavily, although both non- immune adults and children were victims, some with compli- cations. In 1949 no immunization clinics were held in East- ham, but we feel the proportion of children not already im- munized for diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus is slight as most mothers realize their babies should have these protective shots by one year of age. We still have children getting their initial smallpox vaccination just before enter- ing school, but this too should be done before the first birth- day.
As this goes to press, medical examinations are not com- pleted for the Eastham School, but with the fiscal year end- ing December first and the school year beginning just after Labor Day, the physician with his heavy practice was unable to complete this program. We are fortunate in having a school physician who is pediatricly and psychiatricly pre- pared to conduct these examinations, and he does take an individual interest in any child with a problem. The whole concept of the school medical examination has changed. The mass line-up has gone for good. The physical, mental and emotional health of the child is our primary concern. It is better to do a little well than a lot poorly. As soon as possible, we shall follow-up defects found, and persevere until they are remedied.
The four-day dental clinic, staffed by a volunteer assist- ing the dentist, compared about the same as last year. Sev- eral children were lucky enough to need only cleaning. We
136
feel almost all children (Eastham School) who have no fam- ily dentist avail themselves of the dental clinic.
The Massachusetts Vision Test was given to all school children. We are still doing follow-up work and hope to ar- range for clinics after the first of the year. Since testing, five children have had eye examinations by specialists, but only one needed glasses. If a child fails in a test, has any complaints or has questionable school work, we feel he should be seen by a specialist, but we cannot tell what chil- dren need glasses. That is the specialist's job.
This year the Massachusetts Hearing Test, which is a pure tone test, was given grades two through eight by Miss Juliet A. Whitteker, County Public Health Nursing Super- visor. This test is preferred over standard phonograph rec- ord speech test for the following reasons :
1-Discovery of a high percentage of hearing impair- ments heretofore undetected.
2-Ease of scoring.
3-Remarkable reduction in complaints from parents due to unnecessary referral.
4-Flexibility of operation.
Due to the fact Miss Whitteker is critically ill, the re- tests and first grade will not be done until a later date. Then all children who fail will be given an individual pure tone test before referral to an otologist.
The summer camp at Pocasset was conducted along health education lines this year and only two Eastham chil- dren attended.
The three-day annual Well Child Conference, spon- sored by the Town, was attended by 55 infants and pre- school children. We had booked 12 more, but as they had symptoms of colds, they were not eligible to attend. This at- tendance represented about 67 percent of the infant pre-
137
school population, and we believe the remaining 33 percent are under routine supervision of their family physicians.
On Registration Day in June the nurse interviewed mothers of incoming first-graders. We feel this is important as we can learn more about the individual child and assist in orientation of the future scholar.
Six children have had tonsil operations during the year. We are grateful for the clinic service permitted by Cape Cod Hospital. With elective tonsillectomies suspended for sev- eral weeks during the height of the polio season, these cor- rections must take place during the school year, but as re- covery is rapid, little time is lost.
Eastham School children have one advantage we never experienced in our childhood, and that is a hot school lunch. However, nearly one-third of the children carry their lunches. Whether the factors determining this are economic or otherwise, we still feel every child needs a hot lunch, especially since the school day is so long. Until additional buses are provided, even first-graders may leave home at 7:30 A. M. and return home after 3:30 P. M. We pray they all start with a good hot breakfast, but regardless, they need a hot, well-balanced noon meal. The district nutritionist is available to offer menu and other suggestions, and in order to be eligible for State subsidies, the school lunch must con- form to certain standards. Even a housewife has to use a great deal of ingenuity, imagination and foresight to serve attractive, economical, well-balanced meals. Children who are fussy eaters can learn to eat new foods if they are hot, nutritious and attractive. Probably no one factor holds the key to sound public health more than good nutrition.
Further statistics follow :
. 65 visits were made to the Town and 984 calls made as follows :
31 Antepartum
44 Postpartum
138
127 Infant
430 Preschool
114 School children
43 Orthopedic
36 to School
18 Communicable disease
8 Non-communicable disease
5 Tuberculosis service
77 to Officials and in promotion of service and in behalf of patients.
51 Ineffective or not seen
984
In closing, I wish to thank everyone who has assisted me during the year, especially Mr. Nickerson and his staff and the Town Officials.
Respectfully submitted,
