The special appropriation for Wendall Avenue widened and gravelled the entire layout.
The Pleasant Street special appropriation completed the street with tar to South Street.
The special money raised for Bowker Street graded and tarred that street from Main Street to the top of Bowker Hill.

TOWN OF NORWELL
REPORT OF THE VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION, INC.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Norwell
Gentlemen:
The Executive Board of the N. V. N. A. is justly proud of the program of 1949.
In May, free chest X-rays were offered to the public and high school students.
Mr. Frederick A. Small acted as general chairman of the X-ray Sur- vey for the Norwell Board of Health and the Visiting Nurse Association. Because of his organization the percentage of 76% X-rayed was the
highest in the state.
Statistics follow:
Non-T. B. Findings 15 Suspicious T. B. 2
Cardio-Vascular 35
Inactive T. B. 3
Negative 853
Follow ups 55
Number X-rayed 1,074
We have entirely supported the High School Dental Clinic including all supplies and, jointly with the School Committee, maintained a pre- school dental clinic.
The Well Child Conference under supervision of Dr. Alice Butler and Miss Catherine Roe, continues to grow in numbers and interest.
Mrs. Frank Donovan and Mrs. John Murphy give many hours of their time to this clinic during the year, and Mrs. Harold King is always ready to help when needed.
Mrs. James P. Hall, Mrs. M. H. Bailey, Jr., Mrs. Charles W. Rounds and Mrs. Jack Davis give one day each month assisting Dr. Donald Parsons at the High School Dental Clinic.
Dr. Parsons' annual report shows the excellent work being accom- plished.
The aim of this Association is to give the best possible n rsing serv- ice. This means having a relief nurse during vacation time, for sick leave, and the first few weeks of school.
The nurses' car is the property of the Nursing Association. We are asking an additional one hundred dollars, from the town for transporta- tion and maintenance.
When a relief nurse is employed, the V. N. A. pays the entire amount, including salary, mileage, and gasoline. This expense has grown because of increased bedside nursing.
The response to our membership drive was better this year, in thet one hundred and twenty-two families contributed as against sixty-seven
70
ONE HUNDREDTH ANNUAL REPORT
last year. But the entire amount contributed was only slightly increased.
We urge all those who overlooked the appeal to send their contribu- tions now.
The rummage sales continue as our main income and the board wishes to thank all who help in any way to make these sales such a success.
The Salvation Army, through the local fund has purchased a very modern collapsible wheel chair for the use of the townspeople.
This has been in constant use since the purchase.
Miss Dorothy Durgin resigned as board member this past summer and a new member will be chosen by our nominating committee.
Mrs. Mary Dyer was substitute nurse during vacation. Other sub- stitute nurses have helped out during the year.
Three hospital beds are available for use in homes without charge. At present all are in use and have been, constantly, during the year.
Other equipment includes, crutches, bedside tables, and a back rest that may be borrowed.
Call Norwell 5-M before 9 A.M. for morning calls and before 1 P.M. for afternoon calls.

REPORT OF SCHOOL SURVEY COMMITTEE TOWN OF NORWELL
To the Selectmen of the Town of Norwell
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the vote, unanimously carried, at the Annual Town Meeting held March 7, 1949, under Article 26, the Moderator appointed "a committee of five to make a preliminary survey of the school system of the Town of Norwell." This committee, notified of its appointment March 23, 1949, hereby offers its report with recommendations.
Following its first meeting on April 28, the Committee invited certain individuals and representatives from organizations to meet with it and to discuss various phases of the school system. The following individuals and groups met with the Committee:
School Committee Superintendent of Schools Principal of the High School
Teachers of Norwell
Representatives of the High School Alumni Association
Representatives of the Parent-Teachers Association Individual parents, alumni, and students
From all there was whole-hearted cooperation and interest in the purpose of the survey - namely, to ascertain whether your committee might formulate any suggestions for the betterment of the system.
In this connection the survey has dealt in detail with many phases and ignored or simply touched upon others because the time, which would have been otherwise involved, was not at hand.
74
ONE HUNDREDTH ANNUAL REPORT
Before enumerating its recommendations, the Committee wishes it clearly understood that it feels that the Norwell schools, and the per- sonnel connected therewith, compare most favorably with those of many towns both near and far removed. With the advancement of time, how- ever, in order to keep them among the leaders of our area, it would naturally follow that changes should be contemplated, so that in the fut re our students might be furnished with opportunities beneficial to their development and growth into worthy American citizens.
The following recommendations of your Committee, with its support- ing reasons or explanations, are herewith submitted:
(1) That the members of the School Committee be increased from 3 to 5, to serve for a term of 3 years.
This would afford wider representation of the citizens within the largest department of the Town -measured by both personnel and the budget involved.
If increased in number, the Committee could be divided into sub- con.mittees, dealing, for example, with
(a) maintenance of physical plant - buildings, equipment, lighting, etc.
(b) teachers - interviewing and procurement of -their sal- aries, welfare and interests - books, supplies, and edu- cational loans and exhibits.
(c) students -their curricula -health, food, happiness and interests - also bus control and regulation.
The Survey Committee feels that the citizens should have wider representation on the School Board since the school system of any town relatively reflects the wisdom of its citizens, not only among other nearby communities, but throughout the State.
(2) That care ul consideration be given to the establishment of an Assistant Superintendent whose duties shall be confined to the Norwell Schools.
Considering the burden of duties now carried by the present superintendency of the three towns-Norwell, Hanover, and Hanson - this proposed addition should prove especially bene- ficial to Norwell.
(3) That there be a continued expansion of the present vocational guidance program.
The Committee feels that an important start has already been made in this field. It suggests that every encouragement be granted the vocational guidance director for attending confer- en es and collecting all data pertinent to a working program. These programs are receiving increasing national attention throughout educational circles because of the importance to all students' careers subsequent to graduation from high school.
(4) That a properly managed and supervised program of study periods be established with special aliention to individual in- struction on methods of how to study and how to select significant material from text.
75
TOWN OF NORWELL
In the opinion of your Committee this is one of the most impor- tant features of secondary school education, for upon this the failure or success of a student in advanced work largely depends. The best schools of our country lay great emphasis upon impart- ing to their students this power of analysis, or sifting out of key matter. The acquisition of this skill contributes to the success of students in the post-school world. Some come by this art natu- rally, but, in general, it must be acquired.
(5) That a course covering elementary "home repairs" be established, embracing locksmithing, plumbing, carpentry, automotive adjust- ments, etc.
The Committee believes that many Norwell boys (and perhaps girls), who have not planned further formal education after high school, might benefit or find a vocation because of such a course.
(6) That the parents in Norwell should make every effort to coop- erate in the supervision of their children relative to discipline; that through school visits a clearer and a more intimate under- standing between the townspeople and their schools be promoted. Since discipline is primarily dependent upon conditions in the home, school hours should not be burdened with such matters except in a supplementary manner. Our teachers are trained to impart specialized knowledge, and they should not be needlessly retarded by interruptions requiring discipline. Help from the citizens and parents of Norwell will automatically bring about a higher level of educational efficiency.
(7) That the Parent-Teachers Association (P.T.A.) continue and expand its present interest in the Norwell School System taking its part in the national movement to improve our educational processes.
Aid in making national contacts may be obtained from sources such as the State and National Parent-Teachers Associations and the National Citizens Commission for the Public Schools, 2 West 45th Street, New York 19, New York. (See note following report).
The above recommendations are offered unanimously by the five members of the Committee who fully concur in the belief that the public schools throughout the United States should serve toward the develop- ment of better citizens. Through the reappraisement of their curricula from time to time, it should be expected that thoughtful changes will lead to improvements both for the student body and for our community.

REPORT OF SCHOOL DENTIST
To the Citizens of the Town of Norwell:
The following is a brief statistical report of the work accomplished in the upper grades of the Norwell schools last year.
Permanent fillings 237
Temporary fillings 11
Deciduous teeth extractions 4
Permanent teeth extractions
10
Prophylaxis 20
Tooth treatments and flourine treatments 107
Completed cases 35
Fluorine treatments were given in most grades last year, but there is insufficient time available to set up an adequate fluorine program and also do restorative work. In the future it is envisioned that perhaps a fluorine program can be carried out by a dental hygienist.
