In the High School we have three choral groups-a Girls' Glee Club, a Boys' Glee Club, and a Mixed Choral Group. The first two clubs meet weekly with the exception of the third week when that period is given over to the Mixed Choral Group. As last year, we hope to have a separate concert by the High School students.
In closing, I wish to express my appreciation to Mr. Bean, Mr. Hood, and to all the teachers who have aided me in my work.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. Stephen G. Bean,
Superintendent of Schools,
Wilmington, Mass.
Dear Sir:
The following is a report of the work done by the school nurse, during the year 1945.
At the beginning of the year, our nation was still at war. Many mothers were still working, many homes were inadequate. In addition to the health problems usually encountered, neglected and emotionally upset children presented varied and often complex problems. A list of the problems presented would include rheumatic fever, chorea, hearing and vision defects, heart trouble, speech defects, tuberculosis, mal-nutrition, contagious skin diseases, pediculosis, and the ever present problem of tooth decay.
Finding a solution to these problems necessitated 173 home visits, 23 trips to hospitals and clinics, two appearances in Woburn Court, as well as numerous consultations with teachers, parents, doctors, and clinics.
Another time and effort consuming problem is that of 15 year old pupils, who for some reason are unable to do the work of the grade in which they find themselves. They have no interest in school work, and are only waiting for their 16th birthday, when they can leave school. The general health of this group is usually below par, so illness is given as the excuse for repeated or prolonged absence from school. Home visits, consultations with doctors etc. usually only help to pass the time, and as soon as the law allows, they leave school. Perhaps sometime in the future, education suited to their needs will prevent this group from creating such a problem in the 7th and 8th grades.
Because of a shortage of X-Ray films during the last year of the war, only the most urgent cases were X-Rayed at the N. R. S. S. However through the co-operation of the State Dept. of Public Health, the high school pupils, and all teachers, with exception of
157
two who were ill, were given a chest X-Ray. The educational pro- gram carried on in conjunction with this clinic, included a movie on tuberculosis, and a talk by Miss Mary Leonard, health education worker of the Middlesex Health Association. These were presented at a high school assembly, and at a luncheon meeting of the "Aids to Victory" organization.
The Community X-Ray Clinic for adults was sponsored and fi- nanced by the local T. B. Committee, out of Christmas Seal funds, and was not part of the school health program. However considering familial susceptibility to tuberculosis, and the fact that it is a con- tagious disease, the beneficial effect of this clinic on school health should not be overlooked. More education about tuberculosis in school and for the general public would be beneficial.
Since diphtheria is still a serious threat to very young children, I am happy to report that of the 114 children immunized at the annual diphtheria clinic, 57 were between the ages of one and five. Last year only 39 out of 109 were of pre-school age.
A Mass Vision Test is now part of our equipment. It is proving it's worth in finding vision defects which not only cause nervous strain, but often retard a pupil's progress.
Attending a course in "Newer Aspects in Public Health Nursing" was both instructive and inspiring. It also gave the impetus which led to the conferences with school nurses of neighboring towns, and leaders in the field of Public Health Nursing, which resulted in the adoption of a new system of records. It is hoped that these records will show what is being done, and that they will be helpful in de- termining our needs in the future.
Some work has been done toward more effective health teaching in our school system, and plans for carrying on this important work are already under way.
I am grateful to you Mr. Bean, to the teachers, and all who by their co-operation and interest have made this a forward looking year for the school health department.
Respectfully submitted,
ESTHER H. NICHOLS, R. N.
School Nurse
