District Nurse Association Report
The Officers of the District Nursing Association of Nor- well, submit the following report :
The real work of the District Nursing Association of Norwell began in November, 1920, when at a meeting of the organization it was voted that funds to carry on this work would be raised by the effort of volunteers till the first of March when the Town would be asked to assume the salary of the nurse. Accordingly each section of Nor- well pledged itself to raise one-third of the money needed.
Great credit is due to the citizens for their splendid co- operation and help and it a source of gratification to realize that this small rural village could see the great need of such an undertaking and respond so liberally. The State has passed a law requiring each Town to employ a school nurse, but the people of Norwell are giving greater assistance than that by paying the salary of a worker for daily service to the citizens as well as those of school age. We have been considered so worth while that the State Department as well as General Headquarters at Washington have sent In- spectors to make investigations in order that other Rural Communities might have help and encouragement to take up this Health Movement on the principle that what we can start others can follow.
Our organization is far from perfect. Many improvements may be made, but in spite of our failings and short comings, we honestly feel that we are a better Community to live in for having an insight into what can be accomplished by improving Health condition.
A new time scheduale has been prepared for the con- vience of Teachers and Parents and it is hoped that anyone desiring any information will avail themselves of the op-

MARY CURTIS, Treasurer
Report of Principal of High School
To the Superintendent and School Committee :
I hereby submit my annual report upon the work of the High School.
The year began with no change in the regular teaching force and to this fact is due a great measure of the year's successful work. The results attained were sufficient to show the wisdom of endeavoring in every possible way to retain the services of teachers who already have proven their worth.
But teachers alone cannot make a school successful. An important part rests with the pupils themselves; depends upon their spirit of scholarly endeavor and co-operation in all its activities. In this connection I desire to bestow a full measure of credit upon the class of 1921 for the upbuild- ing and maintaining a satisfactory standard of school work .. The record of our honor-roll speaks eloquently of their scholarly attainments. The largest number that won this distinction in any bi-monthly period was fifteen. The students whose names appear upon the roll of honor during the entire year are the following :
Ruth Berry. Helene Merritt, Allen Lester, Bernice Damon, Marguerite Oakman.
I wish to record my appreciation of the splendid spirit shown by all the pupils during my severe illness. They met the responsibility suddenly trust upon them in a manner worthy of high praise. I shall never forget their kindness, loyalty and hearty co-operation. Prof. Wood carried on with gratifying success the work of those classes not other- wise provided for.
The following statements taken from a previous report show clearly some of the difficulties under which we work. "As our classes increase, we are more and more incon- venienced by the lack of facilities which are apparent to all

who visit the school. Several times each week, we are obliged regularly to conduct two exercises, and at time. three, in the same room at one time. Such a condition is most unsatisfactory to teacher and pupil, and that we have been able to secure results under these limitations, is a test :- mony to the efficiency of teachers and the desire of the students to succeed in their work. That some solution for this difficulty may be found in the near future seems almost a necessity if the school is to maintain the standing which all should desire." We are now confronted by a condition which demands careful and wise consideration. We have nearly reached the capacity of the building and must make some adequate provision for the large classes which will seek admission in the immediate future.
The Fall term opened with a large attendance and some changes among the teachers. Miss Margaret Cochran ac- cepted a position near her home and Margaret ( Tolman} Lyons went to another part of the State to reside. Both of these teachers had been very successful and by their interest and enthusiasm had endeared themselves to the entire student body. They were succeeded by Miss Ruth Tyler and Miss Frances Carr, graduates of Wheaton College. whose work has been very acceptable.
Those who were present at our graduation last June will :inderstand that Miss Studleys work as director of music needs no further commendation. Mrs. Eldridge has given more of her time this year to the drawing classes than here- tofore and the results accomplished are of the usual higi order of excellence.
In conclusion I desire to express my sincere thanks to you for your courtesy and confidence, to all the teachers and pupils for their loyalty and co-operation and to the citizens of the Town for their interest and support in whatever has been done to increase the efficiency of the school.
