As supervisor of music in the public schools, my aim has been to develop the natural, pleasant singing voices of the children, stressing good diction and phrasing. I consider the
60
early grades very important in the study of music, for unless the sweet voices of the younger children are developed in these grades, it becomes doubly hard to correct any difficulties that may arise in the higher grades.
The intermediate and junior grades are singing creditable three and four part music. This is a trying time for many of the boys because their voices are changing. Because of this, they should be kept inspired and encouraged, mainly through the type of choral music they like to sing.
The school has suffered a great loss in the death of Mr. Edmund Sawyer. He was a constant inspiration and a true friend to the teachers and children.
I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to the entire school department for their help and cooperation during this past year.
Respectfully submitted, PHYLLIS SMITH Supervisor of Music
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
To Mr. Harold A. Truell, Superintendent of Schools:
The work of the school nurse has consisted of assisting the school doctor with immunization, vaccination, physical examinations, inspections, and assisting the dentist with ex- aminations, also making home calls and taking children to the city for eye examinations.
Through the facilities of the State Department we bor- rowed the audiometer and the children of grades four through eight had their hearing tested. Several notices were sent home and in some instances the children were taken to a specialist for attention.
I have examined the eyes of all the children and sent home notices where it seemed necessary. Here, too, many correc- tions have been made.
Following the work with the doctor and dentist, notices were sent home on tonsils, teeth, posture, pronated and flat feet, and heart conditions. In many instances improvement and corrections have been noted.
61
A child with defects of one kind or another can not do his best work any more than a car with a faulty spark plug can give good performance.
Because of the prevalence of diphtheria in the vicinity of Wilbraham, the children in our schools were given the oppor- tunity of having a booster or reinforcement shot of toxoid just before Christmas.
I wish to thank all those who have cooperated in my work this past year.
SIGNE L. POLSON, R. N. School Nurse

71 REPORT OF THE Tree Warden
During the past summer the U. S. Department of Agri- culture field scouts collected samples of many elm trees in Wilbraham which were suspected of having the Dutch Elm Disease. Specimens of these trees were sent to the laboratories at the State College at Amherst. There they were treated and cultured to determine their ailment. Small tags may have been tacked to some Elm Trees in your neighborhood. Such tagged trees were being investigated and analyzed, but the presence of these tags does not mean the trees are diseased.
Only two elm trees were definitely identified as having the Dutch Elm Disease. One was located on Glendale Road, at the water hole, near the property of Emma E. Rindge, and the other was on the Boston Post Road, near Nine Mile Pond. Both trees were removed and destroyed.
For the past five years the town has been spraying the elms on Main Street, Springfield Street, Faculty Street and Stony Hill Road, as our largest elms are located on these four streets. Arsenate of Lead was issued at the rate of 6 lb. to 100 gals. of water to control the Elm Leaf Beetle and the Elm Bark Beetle. This Elm Bark Beetle is the carrier of the spores of the Dutch Elm Disease fungus, so by controlling this beetle we can check the spread of the Elm Disease.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture is experimenting with new dust material containing DDT and new types of mechanical dusters and blowers to spread this dust. Through the use of the blower, DDT is distributed in the form of a mist. The U. S. Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, thru many experiments, has found that the cost of spraying with DDT is about 1/10th the cost of spraying with the present power sprayer.
Before the spraying season begins next May it is hoped we will have the latest advice from the Federal and State . Authorities.

ERNEST M. HAYN,

72 Visiting Nurse Association
The program for 1946 was based on the objectives outlined in the 1945 Annual Report.
The Well Child Conference held in June was well attended and quite successful from the standpoint of the health of the children. Dr. McLean gave each child a thorough physical examination. He was assisted by Mrs. Ray Palmer, Dental Hygienist, who examined for dental defects and Mrs. Barbara Sheldon of the Springfield Nutrition Bureau, who discussed the nitritional needs of each child with his parents. Outstand- ing in the findings was the number of children with flat feet and other postural defects. These cases were later seen by the Association's Physical Therapist, at the request of the clinic physician and corrective exercises begun. Emphasis was also placed on securing proper type shoes. Of the children with enlarged tonsils only four were recommended for operation. Follow-up on the dental defects was largely carried through by the Chairman of the Child Welfare Committee, and on the. nutritional defects by the nurse in the regular visiting program. Volunteers from Mrs. Nelson's committee provided transporta- tion as needed and assisted with the conference routine. To- gether the "team "completed a very successful Conference.

Nursing care was available and given when requested but the volume continued low. Cases were scattered and most frequently on the fringe of the territory served. The (plan to visit on an every other day basis, omitting Saturdays, except for acute nursing, has met the need adequately so far.

Cooperation from Miss Boden at the Selectmen's office in arranging schedules, contacting the doctor, securing family interest and help on cases under their jurisdiction; from Dr. McLean, the town officers and Mrs. Nelson and her committee has been whole hearted and consistent, and for that I wish to express my sincere appreciation.
Our Aims for 1947 should be :-
1. More effective health teaching.
2. Emphasis on better posture and care of feet.
3. Early and complete immunization of the preschool child.
4. Correction of defects noted in physical findings.

REPORT OF Water Commissioners
The year of 1946 has been one of great activity in the Water Department.
Forty-two new installations have been added and sixteen renewal services made.
Extensions of 2832 feet were added to the system, and three new hydrants are also in use.
At the last annual town meeting by article 22 the town "voted to raise and appropriate the sum of $750.00 to conduct a survey, under supervision of the Water Commissioners for the purpose of determining the possibilities and means for the improvement of the quality, volume and pressure of the town water supply, including the advisability of the installation of a reservoir, standpipe and/or pumping station for the foregoing purposes and/or to provide for the extension to other areas not now served including the higher elevations, and that the Water- Commissioners are hereby directed to file the report of said survey with the Town Clerk not later than November 30, 1946. Unanimous vote."
The Commissioners requested this survey as it was noted that our feeder line from Ludlow Reservoir appeared to be filling up, a fact discovered when a defective valve was replaced in the meter pit in August 1945 at the request of the Spring- field Water Department.
Tighe and Bond, consulting engineers from Holyoke, made the survey and the complete report including the addendum is available in mimeograph form.
We recommend that all voters and town's people study the reports as they give information on immediate and future development of our water system.

The Old Covered Bridge (above) across the Chicopee River served the Town for years and is fondly remembered by many of our older citizens as they cross the new modern Green- Towne Bridge (below) which now replaces it.
