Free tuition certificates have been granted: Annie M. Bacon, Stevens; Elwood Bacon, Hill; Dorothy Mc- Clary, Center; Robert McKelvey and Walter Monsley, Rice's Mills; Haven Southworth, Harold Cross and Arthur Barker, Post Mills.
Several others have only failed in one or two subjects, and if special work is done during the vacation upon these weak subjects, under a competent tutor, another test will then be given and if passed successfully certificates will then be issued, and their names reported next year.
There have been 32 cases of truancy reported by the teachers.
Conveyance has been furnished 2 pupils a part of one term, and 17 pupils the full year, the total cost being $581, a part of which will be rebated by the state.
In the future our public school course will be made up of eight years work or grades, instead of nine, to con- form to the system in use throughout the state. Each years work will begin in September, so beginners can only be admitted into the schools at the beginning of the fall term. Please bear this in mind and it will save later mis- understanding.
During the year an effort will be made to organize a Parent-Teachers Association in each town. It is, as its name implies, an organization composed of parents and teachers and its aim is the betterment of our schools. May I count upon your co-operation when this plan is proposed for the good of the schools of Thetford?
I would urge, as Supt. McKnight has in the past, the importance of regularity of attendance at scpol, also the need of more frequent visits of parents at the schools. No parent can afford to ignore these two suggestions.
I would be glad to confer with any young man or woman who is contemplating fitting to teach in our public schools. The increased wages now being paid teachers and the benefits to be derived from our State Retirement System combine to make the teaching profession a much more attractive occupation than formerly. Each town ought to provide from its own population enough teachers to supply its own schools. Young people, let me hear from you.
33
In conclusion, I wish to thank the directors and teachers for their loyal support, and all your townspeople for the kind interest and friendship shown me when as a stranger I came to labor among you.
Respectfully submitted, MERLE H. WILLIS.
South Strafford, Vt., July 1, 1919.
REPORT OF DISTRICT HEALTH OFFICER.
In sending this my first annual report I wish to cal- attention to a few features of the new law.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. Physicians are res quired to report and quarantine all cases of contagioul diseases which they attend. When no physician is in attendance, the head of the family who knows that a contagious disease exists in his household is required by law to at once report the facts to the District Health Officer.
Under a regulation of the State Board of Health, school teachers are also required to report all cases of contagious diseases occurring among their pupils, or in families from which their pupils come.
Teachers are instructed that they must not allow children to attend school who are afflicted with lice, or contagious diseases of any description.
The public has a right to expect protection from con- tagious diseases, and the co-operation of all citizens is requested, that contagious diseases may be suppressed.
MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS. The im- portance of the supervision of the health and hygienic conditions which surround the thousands of school children of Vermont, can no longer be questioned. Every school whether situated in a rural community or in a town, requires adequate medical inspection.
In communities where school inspection has been properly carried out a remarkable reduction in amount of contagious disease has been the result. This reduction of contagious disease was among the general population, as well as the children attending school.
If the town votes to have medical inspection of schools which consists of an examination of every child in every school, the work is done by the state without expense to the town, excepting the printing of cards, for recording of examination.
An article as to this should be inserted in the warning for every annual town meeting. This is a highly important question and every town in the state should vote to have it.

Organization of the Local Board of Health,
On July 14th, a meeting was held at the Town clerk's office, with the members of the board of selectmen and school directors present. The local board of health elected for its chairman, C. C. Emerson.
There has been a considerable number of cases of whooping cough due to the mildness of the present epi- demic, together with the seasonable colds and bronchitis which made it difficult to differentiate until the character- istic symptoms had developed.
There was more or less confusion in the public mind at first where contagious disease should be reported. We have now supplied this information through the press, bulletins, and various forms sent out through the schools, so we feel that everyone must be familiar with the methods now in vogue.
To suppress the spread of communicable disease the continued co-operation of our citizen will secure us the results we are after.
Inspection of Summer Schools, Fairlee Lake.
Inspection of each of the schools was made and the sanitary and hygienic conditions were satisfactory.
The value of the work in promoting health and re- moving unsanitary conditions cannot be over estimated and much of the best work of a properly conducted health department does not and cannot appear in a report.
Respectfully submitted,
CLARENCE H. BURR, M. D., Health Officer.

PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Since the last report more books have been added to the Public Library. The state has given $25 worth of books as it has done each year since the library was es- tablished. We are to have $30 worth for the coming year.
The state commissioner is particularly desirous that teachers and pupils in all the schools in town use the books as much as possible. Collections of books for use in the schools will be loaned teachers whenever desired.
It is to be regretted that more people do not avail themselves of the opportunity to get books. The town appropriation makes the books in both the Latham Mem- orial and Public Library free to all residents.
The library is open Tuesday from 3 to 5 in the after- noon and from 6 to 8 in the evening on Friday.
