We are continuing our testing program. The Otis Quick Scoring In- telligence Tests were given last February to all pupils of grades one. This month they were administered to grades two through six ; they will also be given to grades one next February. In May all kindergarten children were given the Metropolitan Readiness Tests. Last May Stan- ford Achievement Tests were administered to grades one through six. The same procedure will be carried out this year. Graphs showing scores for each child were prepared. These graphs point out the strength and weaknesses in different subject areas and are valuable aids in helping the individual to better himself.
This is the third year that we have had band practice in our school. This year, in grades four and five we have thirty-four pupils participat- ing in band practice. In grades six there are twenty pupils taking part in a senior band.
The band demonstration given at the High School last spring showed the type of good work being produced by this band instruction.
In order that the public might become better acquainted with our school, reporters from grades five are scouting around the classrooms and reporting interesting projects and activities. These reports may be read in the local papers.
In conclusion, I would like to express to you, the School Committee, parents and teachers, my appreciation of their loyalty and support.

REPORT OF THE REMEDIAL READING TEACHER
To the Superintendent of Schools:
DEAR SIR :
The purpose of our Remedial Reading Program has been to help those children who are having difficulty in learning to read and those children who are not reading at their classroom level. Since a child should be taught at a level at which he can succeed, we have grouped children of similar needs and abilities together, in small classes, and have given individual instruction when it seemed necessary.
The following instruction has been given :
1. Speech correction
2. Speech and language development
3. Phonics, word analysis, word recognition, and vocabulary building
4. Reading practice for comprehension, fluency, and speed.
Because intensive drill and frequent repetition is needed in remedial work, we have employed interesting sound and work games and puzzles, and especially selected reading material to help in this instruction.
The Controlled Reader used in Remedial Classes in other towns, and in most Reading Clinics, would be of great value in our work if it were available. This machine helps to promote visual discrimination and visual memory. It would aid the slow thinking child and promote more speed in reading. It would also make it possible for greater numbers of children to be helped.
During the past year 108 children have received remedial instruc- tion.

Some of these children received help for a period of four to six weeks, while others found it necessary to have continued daily instruction throughout the school year.
The Remedial Department wishes to thank the Staff of the Cutler School and the School Committee for their cooperation and encourage- ment, which has helped make this program possible.

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
To the Superintendent of Schools:
DEAR SIR :
I have the honor to submit my annual report for the year 1957 con- cerning the instrumental music program in the public schools of Hamil- ton, Massachusetts.
During the year 1957 it has been our aim to develop the best pos- sible instrumental music program for Hamilton. We offered opportunities for instruction on all instruments to pupils from grades 4 through the high school. We conducted instrumental music demonstrations during the year and contacted parents in regard to the instrumental program.
Each of the schools had its own instrumental music program this year with special instruction being provided at the school during school hours. Each of the instrumental groups holds a weekly rehearsal, and opportunity is also given for individual instruction and remedial work.
Outstanding progress has been recorded in the instrumental music program during 1957. In the high school the band now numbers nearly 50 players. The band has raised money for new uniforms which were purchased in the spring of 1957. This project had the backing of a splendid group of parents who carried forward various fund-raising activities and made possible the purchase of the uniforms.
Instruction during the past year was under the direction of Mr. Robert Ziegner. Mr. Ziegner resigned in June to accept a full time position in Hull, Massachusetts. Hamilton has been very fortunate in having Mr. Calvin Schraga, formerly professor of instrumental music at Boston University and a nationally known authority in this field, to take over Mr. Ziegner's work in the summer and throughout the present school year. Mr. Schraga has added considerable impetus to the program and there is a sustained and lasting interest in instrumental music among many of the pupils in Hamilton. Mr. Vincent Mischitelli is assisting Mr. Schraga in his work this year. The work at the Cutler elementary school is progressing very well and a large number of students are study- ing instrumental music there in preparation for active participation in the instrumental music on the high school level.
One of the real needs of the instrumental music program in the cur- rent year will be the acquisition of many needed background instruments which will round out the instrumentation of the band and make the over- all music program in Hamilton more effective.
At this time, I would like to express my deep appreciation to the School Committee, Superintendent of Schools and to each of the prin- cipals for their unfailing cooperation in making possible an effective program of instrumental music in the schools of Hamilton.
Respectfully submitted,
WARREN S. FREEMAN Director of Instrumental Music

REPORT OF SCHOOL CAFETERIA MANAGER
To the Superintendent of Schools:
DEAR SIR :
I herewith submit my first report as manager of the Hamilton Public School cafeterias.
The purpose of the School Lunch Program is to serve nutritious and appetizing noonday meals to participating children, at a price they can afford to pay.
In the Hamilton Public Schools the pupils are served a Type A lunch on every school day at the cost of twenty-five cents. This lunch pattern is set up by the government and includes specified amounts of protein, vitamin A and vitamin C, bread, butter and milk. In addition to these requirements a dessert is served with each meal and these menus take care of one-third of the child's nutritive needs per day.
The Federal government contributes nine cents for each lunch served to the youngsters and four cents for each one-half pint of milk sold without a lunch.
The government also issues surplus commodities every month - in proportion to the participation in the Lunch Program. Some of the com- modities received this year include butter, cheese, hamburg, pork and gravy, shortening, corn meal, dried egg and dried milk. flour, peaches. cherries, string beans and tomatoes. This helps to keep the cafeteria self-supporting, including the wages of the cafeteria workers.
At the Manasseh Cutler School there are five women in the kitchen and they feed approximately four hundred youngsters each day. At the High School there are three workers and the participation is between 200 and 225.
Both cafeterias need new items of equipment. The refrigerator at the Cutler School is inadequate in size and has been repaired for the last time, according to the service man, and the milk cooler at the High School is not large enough to take care of all the milk sold each day. We hope, before another year passes, that at least one of these items can be acquired.
A great deal of consideration should be given to refrigeration and storage plans when the new school is built. Both have become problems in the present buildings with the increased participation in the School Lunch Program.
Respectfully submitted,
CLARA C. LANE, Cafeteria Manager

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the Superintendent of Schools:
DEAR SIR :
The following report is hereby respectfully submitted to the Super- intendent of Schools as the report of the School Physician for the year 1957.
The general health and welfare of the students as a whole was found to be markedly improved in the Hamilton schools. This has occurred since I first started making examinations about three years ago. The most marked improvement is that of the general condition of the teeth. The dental deficiency found in the great majority of the children three years ago has been markedly reduced. The only physical findings discovered have been those which are fairly routine considering size or age. Because of this marked reduction in physical deficiencies, this office feels quite elated at the general improvement of the students as a whole.
During the last year, the completion of the primary Polio inocula- tions was accomplished, in which all members of the public schools were inoculated who were of qualified age and who desired to be. It is noted that, over the last year, a very marked reduction in Polio incidents, in this community, has been observed. It can't be urged or recommended too strongly that all those people who have not been inoculated or received a series of inoculations accomplish these before the onset of the oncoming Polio season. This does not include only the school age people but all those through the age of forty and, in some cases, in the age beyond. The vaccine is available for any and all who wish to be inoculated. A minimum of two shots is recommended before the forthcoming Polio season and, if at all possible, a series of three.
In looking at the future of the Hamilton school system and of present facilities the following recommendations are made for the serious con- sideration of the voters and of the parents :
1. A full time school nurse be employed. In qualification of this, because of the prodigious clerical work which is required of the school nurse, plus the fact the school population has increased and is bordering on the one thousand mark, a part-time school nurse is totally inadequate. Many communities of smaller size and smaller population have full- time school nurses on duty five days a week, or during the school hours. It seems that this request is not out of reason.
2. Adequate facilities for health be available in the school system, prim- arily in the high school as it is today. As the situation presents itself now, there are no facilities in the high school building. Examinations are carried on in the teachers' room, or locker rooms, which markedly interferes with normal routine. In addition, these facilities are highly inadequate and, at times, embarrassing to the student being examined.
3. Projecting into the future is a serious consideration on furthering
21
present dental program which should be conducted within the con- fines of the school facilities. The work which has been done up to and including the present times has been excellent, however, there have been many pitfalls including transportation of the students to and from the dental clinic. Many schools, of comparable size, have dental facilities within the confines of the school buildings and, it is felt that furtherance of this program is much needed.
The aforementioned recommendations are made with all due respect in the furtherance of maintaining good health standards for the students of the Hamilton schools. These things can be obtained by proper appro- priation but, if not known there are certain requirements lacking, proper appropriations are difficult. In the planning of the new school building, a good health room has been planned which should provide adequate facilities for those people of the new school. However, the present high school will house many people and facilities must be made available there.
As an adjunct to the general examination of the students, Dr. John F. Lamont has offered his services for eye examinations for all the stu- dents of the school. These services have been accepted by the Superin- tendent of Schools and myself as a hallmark in advancement of the general health and welfare program.
At the risk of being repetitious, again it is strongly recommended that parents become aware of the possibility of contagious diseases and that their children not be sent to school with any possible contagious manifestations. Over the last year this particular phase has improved tremendously, however, there are still evidences of students being sent to school with active infection which does not seem fair to the other students.
It has been my pleasure one again to have worked with Miss Stobbart and, without her most efficient aid, the health program could not have been accomplished. It is through her efforts that the eye and ear ex- aminations are carried out. It is also through her efforts that the Patch testing was accomplished as was re-established last year and is now going to be an annual affair.
I also want to thank all the school officials and teachers for their aid and cooperation.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT G. LOVE, M.D. School Physician

I did 897 first aid dressings during the school year and made 83 home calls.
Cafeteria Service
I wish to congratulate all the personnel in the cafeteria in the el- ementary school and high school for their management and cleanliness in handling the school lunches.
May I also thank all the teachers, superintendent, principals, cus- todians, students and parents for their cooperation in carrying out our health program.
In closing, I wish to thank Dr. Robert Love, School Physician, for his interest and professional ability in caring for health examinations ond clinics in our schools.

AGE OF ADMITTANCE
Pupils entering the kindergarten in September must have been at least four years of age on January 1st preceding entrance in September.
Pupils entering the first grade in September must have been at least five years of age on January 1st preceding entrance in September.
VACCINATION
Children who have not been vaccinated will not be admitted to school in September unless they present a certificate from a regular practicing physician stating that they are not fit subjects for vaccination. Parents are requested to attend to this matter during the summer vaca- tion, as certificates of vaccination or exemption must be presented at the opening of school to entitle children to admission.
NO-SCHOOL SIGNAL
As a matter of policy school will be in session whenever possible. When weather conditions are questionable parents are urged to exercise their own judgment as to whether their children are sent to school or not.
If it seems inadvisable to have school sessions, the following pro- cedure for no-school signals will be observed. Radio stations WHDH, WBZ, WNAC and WESX will be notified not later than 7:00 a.m. so that notification may be broadcast by them between 7:15 and 7:30 a.m. At 7:00 a.m. the no-school signal 22-22 will be sounded on the local fire alarm.
