The Schick program which was introduced last year was conducted again this year. Eight clinics were held with an average attendance of 187 children. Altogether 466 children were schicked and 280 children received the three inoculations of toxin anti-toxin.


In last year's report I spoke at some length of the Examination Clinics conducted by the State Department of Health. Since then the Department has started on its ten-year program and Reading has had to wait its turn for the clinic. As this report goes to press plans are being made for a re-examination to be held early in January.


The- one; clinic which is essentially new this year is the Habit Clinic. This clinic, in charge of a psychiatrist and a psychologist, is held one day a month at the Grouard House and is for the treatment of problem cases.


196


For some time we who have to do with children have felt the need of treating the "whole child"; in other words, we have realized the significance of the relationship between the mental and the physical health. The Prospect Street Parent-Teachers Association stands out as pioneers in this field of endeavor and it was largely due to their efforts that the need for such treatment was brought to the notice of the public. In May through the efforts of the superintendent and others the State Department of Mental Hygiene, under the direction of Dr. Douglas Thom, was appealed to and Reading has the distinction of being the first town or city outside of Boston to run such a clinic.


Although the clinic has been operating for a short time, the results are most gratifying. The average attendance has been 5, with the cases referred for the most part by the Director of Standards and Guidance, the Attendance Officer, and myself. Much credit is due Mrs. Elisha Fowler, Chairman of the Program Committee of the Prospect Street Parent-Teacher Association, for her part in securing the clinic and her generous assistance at the clinic after its establishment.


Special emphasis has been placed on health education this past year. In as far as possible this branch of the work has been left with the teach- ers and excellent work, which has been done in some of the schools, shows that the teachers are coming more and more to realize that knowl- edge without health is valueless. The idea of health education is not to add another subject to the already over-crowded school program but to have it correlated with the language, reading, spelling, and other school subjects.


In closing, let me mention with gratitude the support of the various local agencies, the local Tuberculosis Committee, Red Cross, Visiting Nurse Association, and the Parent-Teacher Associations, each of whose co-operation and assistance have meant so much to the work. It is not fitting that I should end this report without acknowledging the fine spirit of helpfulness of Dr. Henderson, the school physician. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with him. And lastly, may I thank you, Mr. Safford, for your comprehension and interest, and each and every teacher for his or her spirit of friendliness and assistance.


Respectfully submitted,


MABEL M. BROWN, School Nurse.
