The Cantata, "The Carnival of the Flowers" was success- fully given in the late autumn by the children of the Cameron School, and the proceeds supplemented by a generous check from a friend of the school made it possible to place a piano in that school. It would add much and be most helpful to the work, could pianos be placed in the Frost and Sargent Schools.
May I say in closing, how thoroughly I am sensible of the earnest efforts of the teachers, and how grateful I am for their words of appreciation, as well as the kindly expressions of approval from officers and parents.
With faith in the ability and purpose of the children which cannot but be productive of rich fruitage in later life, I am,
Yours sincerely, EDWIN N. C. BARNES, Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF MEDICAL INSPECTOR.
Gentlemen of the School Committee:
I respectfully submit the following report concerning the. schools of Westford for the year ending Feb. 1st, 1909.
I have visited the schools and have made one general exami- nation of all the children to see if any were suffering from disease that would interfere with their or others school work by being affected with a contagious or infectious disorder or one detri- mental to their own mental and physical development. I also have made various calls to the different schools either at the call of the teacher, superintendent or one of the committee.
During my inspections I have found three cases of ring- worm of the body, two of ringworm of the scalp, one case of ear trouble, fifteen of adenoids, one of chorea, six of scabies, twenty-one of chicken pox, four of the measles, and a great many of pediculosis capilis (head lice).
Those that were afflicted with contagious or infectious diseases, were excluded from the school in accordance with Chapter 502 of the Acts of 1906, until they could return with safety to the other children.
The parents have co-operated with the school physician by having their children receive medical attendance after receiving the notices of their afflictions by the school physician; but some have neglected to do so to the detriment of their children both as to physical as well as to mental development.
C. A. BLANEY, M. D.,
School Physician.

NOTE.
All persons are respectfully requested to examine the fore- going reports of births, marriages and deaths, and report to the Town Clerk any errors or omissions that may be discerned there- in, so that the records may be corrected. An error in the record, other than a mistake in copying a certificate or return, can be corrected only in accordance with a deposition under oath, made by one who was required by law to furnish the information for the original record or by three or more creditable persons having knowledge of the case. (See Revised Laws, Chapter 29, Sections 9 and 16.)
Births occurring late in the year are sometimes returned without the Christian name. In such cases parents should return the name to the Town Clerk as soon as selected, as incom- pleteness of the record may occasion trouble in the future.
The Town Clerk hereby gives notice that he is prepared to furnish parents, householders, physicians and midwives applying therefor with blanks for return of births, as required by law.
