ply themselves to their school tasks with a determination to win, we should be satisfied with the result.
Education from bottom to top needs more than anything else to be individualized. It is not always easy, however, to suit the instruction to the individual child. Children's power - to assimilate the work of any grade depends more upon the stage of maturity than upon the number of years they have lived.
At the close of the school year Miss Campbell accepted 1 position in Winchester and Mrs. Alice D. Matthews, a teacher of experience, was engaged for the position. Miss Bradstreet at No. 5 declined a reelection and as her successor Miss Glen- don was transferred from No. 9. Miss Helen Ward, a graduate of the Keene normal school, was engaged to fill the vacancy in No. 9. In December she resigned and the school was closed, the children being transferred to the East Swanzey schools. In January Miss Grogan at the Westport school resigned and Miss Glendon was transferred to the position. Mrs. Grace Carlin, an experienced teacher was engaged to teach at No. 5.
During this year the schools have been visited by Miss Weed, Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Burt in the interest of the extension club work. Although the number who took up the work was not large, some good results were obtained, and the outlook for more extensive activity next year is excellent.
Aside from the usual exercises held in the schoolrooms in observance of the several holidays the teachers of the Cutler school conducted a successful entertainment from which they realized a goodly sum. With the proceeds a victrola and twen- ty-four records were purchased for the school.
Through the generosity of Mr. Henry W. Brown the children of the Cutler school have a slide and a vaulting ap- paratus added to their playground equipment.
A prize speaking contest open to the pupils of Swanzey public schools was held in Whitcomb Hall on June 1. There were eleven speakers. The winners were as follows : First prizes :
83
Helen Sarsfield and Reginald Lane. Second prizes: Winston Emery and Florence Underwood. Iva Handy received honorable mention.
In January the initial campaign to start the school chil- dren in saving through buying Thrift Stamps was inaugurated. Forty-seven children have purchased $163 worth of stamps. Interest in the matter continues and the savings are constant- ly growing.
All the schools are enthusiastically engaged in Red Cross work. This work includes cutting fillings for pillows, knitting scarfs, wash cloths, and making patchwork for quilts.
During the summer vacation the usual repairs were made to put the buildings into good condition. The chief item of ex- pense was the painting of the East Swanzey school house.
SCHOOL HYGIENE
For years in the erection of our school buildings we have applied the fundamental principles of sanitation. Necessary as this is our primary concern should be the hygiene of the grow- ing child. The war has clearly demonstrated to the surprise of most of us the extremely small percentage of physically per- fect manhood, and has hastened the day when the health and physical welfare of a child will be regarded of as much import- ance as arithmetic and when a knowledge of the elements of child hygiene will be regarded as of primary importance in the training of every teacher.
It has been reliably estimated that the general adoption of a few well-established hygienic principles would add fifteen years to the average span of human life. In bringing about this better condition, however, our sole reliance cannot be upon med- ical science and public health administration. We must educate
84
the new generation to a different hygienic viewpoint and de- velop in the young the necessary hygienic habits.
Medical inspection in scores of American cities demon- strates that two-thirds of the school children are subject to physical defects which are injurious to health. Many are suf- fering from malnutrition, one half the children have from three to five defective teeth, one in ten suffers from nose and throat troubles including adenoids and enlarged tonsils, one in five has defective vision. These are only a part of the findings.
Entrance upon school life tends to effect adversely the health of a child. The sedentary life of the schoolroom, taking the child as it does from the open air, freedom of movement, and the sunshine, subjects him to an unnatural routine which disturbs all his vital functions. The tendency of school life should be favorable to the improvement of the child's health.
To accomplish this ideal we must regard the cultivation of health of as much importance as the accumulation of knowl- edge; we must observe the laws of fatigue in the school day; we must secure a proper balance between seatwork, manual training and play; we must teach the child how to protect his health and to build up his strength; and finally we must install a system of medical inspection. This at its best should include a school physician, a school nurse and a school dentist.
The time is not ripe, however, for the employment of all these various agencies. A school nurse acting under the super- vision of a medical inspector would probably give the best re- sults. Eighteen towns in New Hampshire now have medical in- spection. The cost varies from $10 to $300 and averages about $100.
