Art is a mode of expression we all understand and for that reason it is necessary that every school child be given the opportunity to develop his natural aptitude for art. In our schools of Tewksbury we answer this need by teaching our children how to draw simple forms and to express these forms and designs in colour.
The problems in both the elementary and secondary grades in 1940 were of varying duration, culminating in the ability of each child to draw and paint landscapes, figures, and textile designs.
The annual art exhibition of the Tewksbury Schools was on display in each of the schools in June, 1940. Each grade had one final project in which they used the acquired skills in a practical art piece. The students made crayon hangings, table scarves, luncheon sets, picnic plates, masks, book covers, posters, textile designs, sea- sonal cards, landscape paintings, fashion drawings, historical murals, and copper bookends.
The High School classes also entered the National Youth Forum Contest to make posters under the title of the "Challenge to Youth." We enjoyed the competition thoroughly and each student depicted scenes of his community life in relation to the American theme.
Some of the mediums used are: pencil, crayon, pastel, charcoal, clay, and paint.
In closing I wish to thank the students, the teachers, and citizens of the Town of Tewksbury for their interest in my work.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGARET E. MERCIER,
Supervisor of Art.

SCHOOL PHYSICIAN'S REPORT
To the School Department of the Town of Tewksbury:
I will make a brief report of health conditions in the schools as I have treated some of the problems in my Board of Health report. The general health of the school children has been very good this past year. On account of the preparedness situation Dr. John Mahoney who has been so efficiently doing the dental work in our school, has been forced to resign as he has entered the "Service." This neces- sarily closes that department for the present at least. Your physician has examined all the young men and women, who have come out for the athletic teams in the schools, so that over exertion hazards might be prevented. As your physician I feel it my duty to suggest that the sanitary arrangements in the Spaulding School where the rest rooms are used by both adults and small children is anything but satisfactory. Further, the opening and closing of the doors into the hall during school hours causes drafts and makes the heating problem difficult. I believe some move should be made to remedy these conditions. One of the finest moves to protect the health and improve resistance is the proposed W. P. A. lunch project, which is to be established in the near future in our schools. I believe everybody should cooperate in making it a success. Last but far from least is the safety program, which protects our school children. It has been my privilege to observe Officer Sheehan at his station caring for the children. His work is kindly, dignified and very efficient, a fine officer in the right place.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
To Mr. Stephen G. Bean, Superintendent, Tewksbury, Massachusetts.
Dear Mr. Bean:
I, herewith, submit my fourth report as school nurse. The year 1940 has been a very busy and varied one. We had an epidemic of Measles which affected practically every child who had not, hereto- fore, had them-even to high school age. This epidemic alone en- tailed approximately 300 visits by the nurse and showed that the town had been practically free of Measles for a number of years. This is about the only contagion we had to cope with. Our Diphtheria clinic was again very gratifying, both to Dr. Larrabee and myself. With an attendance of 75, more than 50% of the children were of pre- school age. As most of the school children have been immunized against Diphtheria, from now on our efforts will be centered around the pre-school child and we trust the parents will more and more take advantage of this clinic and see that their children are pro- tected against this terrible disease.
About 200 pupils have had defects corrected. These corrections have been for eyes, ears, teeth and tonsils.
Our Chadwick (Tuberculosis) clinic for high school students was held in November with 70% of the student body signing up and taking the test. As yet we have not had a full report from the State Department. We were very fortunate in securing this service this year as the State Department is extremely busy in X-Raying men going into the Army.
In November we obtained an Audiometer from the State Depart- ment and examined the hearing of all pupils beyond the second grade. We found thirty-one with defective hearing. I am taking these children to a specialist as fast as possible and have found thus far that most of the loss of hearing is due to the tonsils not having been removed at an earlier date.
Our Xmas Seal Sale reached the highest mark in 1939 for which we are very grateful to the town folks for their splendid cooperation. Our 1940 sale is incomplete as yet. We are helping now with the hot dinner project which Mrs. Larrabee thought of for the welfare of the school children. One more time this shows the interest that Mrs. Larrabee has in the children. On January 6, we have our first dinner with 400 of the Center children signed up. On January 13
189
we start one at Shawsheen School for the children there with most of the children participating. Truly this is a great move.
The wonderful cooperation of teachers, parents, local agencies, 4-H Club, Junior Red Cross, Sunshine Circle, Red Cross, Community Chest, Lowell Visiting Nurses Association and many individuals have made this year one of advancement in Health activities.
Respectfully submitted
EDITH E. HAINES, R. N.,
School Nurse.
