All essential health services-testing of vision, hearing and physi- cal examinations-were completed for the school year ending in June 1962. Testing programs would be of no value if they did not result in the correction of defects found. To this end we work with the parents and doctors.
The annual report of vision and hearing as requested by the State Department of Public Health in November for the school year 1961-62 is as follows:
Pupils tested
Vision 4238
Hearing 4238
Failed Mass. Vision Test

Number seen by Specialist

Failed Audiometer Test

Number accepted as correct referrals

It is our policy to report to parents all pupils who have blurring or any other difficulty in passing the vision test, and many of these go for examination and correction.
401 children were cared for at the Dental Clinic. An added appro- priation to the Board of Health allowed us to continue the valuable professional service of the Dental Hygienist and to purchase much needed equipment. There is a noticeable improvement in dental health among the school children. The resignation of one dentist has curtailed the number of children cared for since September, although the need has been greater. To date we have not been able to get another dentist.

The annual program of inoculation for the prevention of Diphtheria, Whopping Cough, and Tetanus was carried on in the elementary schools and grade 9 in the spring. Four clinics for infants and pre-school children were held in the Town Building. 1008 school children and 38 babies received inoculation.
The program of Tuberculin skin testing continued in grade 1. This is in cooperation with the Board of Health, in accordance with the recommendation of the State Board of Health. A child showing a positive skin reaction should be followed by an Xray and follow-up of the family to determine source of infection. The work of follow-up is carried by the Visiting Nurse Association for the Board of Health. 352 children received the test; 351 were negative, 1 positive. 66 teachers and per- sonnel availed themselves of the opportunity of having the TB test.
There has been a marked increase in the number of pupils re- quiring physical examination for competitive athletics. The State law requests that a physical examination of each pupil be given at least four times during the twelve years. Increased enrollment brings the number requiring examination during this school year to approximately 2000 children.
The Annual Census of Physically Handicapped, due annually, contained the names of 83 children, 12 of these being new reports. 3 children were reported as legally blind. Arrangements were made for 15 children to receive home instruction in 1962; at the present writing 7 are receiving home instruction.
Plans for offering Sabin Oral Polio vaccine to all children aged 3 months through grade 12 were formulated in April and the first pre- school and infant clinic was held in May. A total of 21 clinics were held, and a total of 2002 pre-school, 3140 school children received Type I and Type III oral polio vaccine. We are now formulating plans for Type II to be given this group of children, and for starting a new series for the infant and pre-school age.
We appreciate the addition to the staff of Mrs. Marilyn Howard. She has contributed greatly to the completion of the above described program. Plans for greater classroom observation and conference are made. The Public Health Nurse is the teaching member of her profession and it is our hope that we bring something of value to those whom we serve.
Sincerely, MARGARET B. CLEWLEY Director of Health
