REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
To the Superintendent and School Board of Tewksbury:
During the Summer of 1935 I worked out a new flexible outline in drawing for the Tewksbury Schools, covering the four large branches of Drawing, namely Representation, Color, Design and Let- tering together with Holiday Expressions. I say flexible because of the grouping of grades at the Shawsheen School as compared to the Foster School where each room has but one grade. My draw- ing periods average 30 minutes in the lower grades and 40 minutes in the upper grades. Naturally in that time I can teach only one lesson whether it is in a 7th grade or in a room of both 7th and 8th grades. Therefore a lesson suitable for the 7th grade can be taught in the latter with enriching possibilities to satisfy the needs of the 8th grade.
One of the projects I am looking forward to is the planning and constructing of a Puppet Show in Miss Kelley's 7th and 8th grades. This will enable some of the older boys to build the Puppet stage, some of the girls to make curtains and clothing while others. in the class can help to plan and carry out the program. This correlates with English and Public Speaking.
I would like to draw your attention from the grades to the High School. Here we naturally have an older group where the attitude is somewhat different. Mingling with Seniors and Juniors even the Freshmen grasp the responsibility placed in them and are more in earnest in their endeavors. Drawing is an elective and because of limited time each drawing group is composed of people from all four classes, which helps to raise the standard. At present we are work- ing with charcoal which is a very expressive and simple medium. Objects are placed together to make a balanced group with light from one side giving the student a chance to express the different values and reproduce what is before him on paper.
The Library is our present home but in time when necessary first year adjustments are made I hope to find a more suitable space
146
with a spot light or two, to help the student study the objects and enphasize the light and shade.
Respectfully submitted,
VITTORIA ROSATTO,
Supervisor of Drawing.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee of the Town of Tewksbury:
The past year has been quite satisfactory from the standpoint of health in our schools. There have been scattered cases of con- tagious diseases, but no serious outbreaks. There are still many cases of throats and teeth needing attention, which have been re- ported to the homes, and the school nurse has taken as many as she could make arrangements for to the several clinics. I know that economic conditions do not allow many families to carry out our suggestions, but the results obtaincd in the majority of cases prove the value to the children in improvement in general health, resistance to colds and higher scholarship. The past two years we have had a clinic in the spring for diphtheria immunization and ex- pect to repeat this the coming year, and to include pre-school chil- dren. There is absolutely no danger in this treatment and the younger the child the better the results obtained. I would like to see every school child immunized and then we would free our schools of the possibility of the diphtheria menace.
The past year has brought to our attention more dog-bite cases, and six of these patients have required treatment. May I suggest, that any family noting an unrecognized dog about their place, which acts at all strangely notify the police department or the animal in- spector at once and keep all domestic animals away from it.
Cases of Tuberculosis require the use of a large proportion of our appropriation, since each case is charged to the town, where settlement can be established, at the rate of $12.00 per week. Altho the expense of such care seems heavy it is one that is certainly de- served by these patients.
Respectfully submitted,
HERBERT M. LARRABEE, M. D.
School Physician.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
To the Superintendent and School Committee of Tewksbury
As School Nurse I submit the following report:
I have made two hundred and seventy-four visits to the school Every child has been weighed and measured and a physical record card sent home with the report cards. Every child has been examined for pediculosis, cleaniness, skin eruptions, etc .; every two months, contagious cases have been followed up and everything done to pre- vent their spread.
I have made sixty-eight visits to the homes and the parents have been willing to co-operate with me in every way. I have obtained one hundred and eighty-eight dental corrections for the children and eighty-four corrections in vision. Ten children have been with me to have their tonsils and adenoids removed. I have influenced the parents to attend to the matter themselves in many cases.
Dr. Larrabee has vaccinated eighteen children and examined them all during the school year. I assisted him and recorded the defects found and am obtaining correction. I have done one hundred sixty- two simple dressings in school.
Every year the State Board of Health will give all children in the seventh grade the Tuberculin Test if they desire it. In this way every child will have the advantage of this test once during his school life. Positive cases will be X-rayed and followed up until cases are dismissed as well.
Last spring we held our second clinic for the immunization of diphtheria.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. E. P. MACLAREN,
School Nurse
