We, as members of the school board, wish to call your attention to the condition that exists in regard to our High School Facilities. In brief, it can be summed up in the fol- lowing analogy. Last year, with a maximum attendance fifty-four students in the High School, the rooms were filled to the extent of congestion. This year, we have the same ac- commodations, but seventy-two students in attendance. Draw your own conclusions. There is another point that must be considered. We are graduating a class of six, and there is a possible incoming class cf twenty-five, besides the outside scho- lars. This means simply this, unless something is done, we must accommodate a possible hundred with room that was in- sufficient for fifty-four.
We further recommend that owing to the increase cost of supplies and the necessary increase in salaries for the coming year, an increase of 10 per cent of the grand list, making a total of eighty-five per cent.

REPORT of the DISTRICT HEALTH OFFICER To the Voters of the Town of Brighton, Vt .:
In rendering this, my first annual report, I wish to call attention to a few features of the new Health Law.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES:
1. Physcians are required to quarantine and report all cases of contagious diseases which they attend.
2. When no physcian is in attendance, the Head of the Family who knows that a case of contagious disease ex- ists in his or her housenold is required by law to put up a placard,in stitute quarantine and report to the District Health Officer at once.
3. School teachers are required by law to report any case of contagious disease existing among their pupils or the families of their pupils. They must not allow any pupil af- flicted with lice, or other vermin or any contagious disease of any description to attend school. When families are in quar- antine for measles, mumps, chickenpox, whooping cough or german measles, teachers must not allow pupils from such families who have not had the disease to attend school during the period of quarantine. In cases of know exposure to scar- let fever, diphtheria, smallpox, meningitis or infantile paral- ysis, the teacher must not only bar the pupils from school but also immediately notify the District Health Officer of all the facts. Failure to comply with the above regulations renders the offender to a fine of not less than $25.00 and not more
than $100.00 for each offense.
Much has been accomplished in the way of educating the public as to these requirements which in the future must be rigidly enforced. The public has a right to expect protection from contagious disease and the co-operation of all good citi- zens is earnestly requested to the end that these expectations may be realized. With every one helping, contagious diseases can be suppressed to astonishing degree.
MEDICAL INSPECTION IN THE SCHOOLS:
Under the new law, if the town votes to have Medical Inspection in Schoos, the work is done by the State under the direction of the District Health Officer free of all expense to the town except for the printing of cards on which to keep records of the inspection.
Every child in every school is examined once a year for physical defects such as defective eyesight or hearing, ade- noids, enlarged tonsils, spinal curvature, defective teeth and disease of the lungs or heart, etc. Nothing in this inspection will be in any way objectionable to the parents. No treat- ments are given but accurate records are kept i n each case and the parents are urged to have the defects remedied. Something may be done later to assist parents who are finan- cially unable to have the defects remedied.
The importance of this work cannot be over estimated, as practically all defects found among children may be eaisly remedied, while, in later life, they may cause serious trouble). I wish to urgs every voter to vote for this measure as it is only fair that the children of every community may receive the ben- efit of any measure which has such a great defect on their la- ter life.
LOCAL BOARDS OF HEALTH:
The law provides for a local board of health for each town or city, composed of the selectmen in towns or the alder- men in cities, one of whom is eleceted chairman of the Board. Complaints as to nuisances dangerous to health should be made in writing, bearing the signature of the writer, and sent to the chairman of this Board.
SCHOOLS:
During the past year, your schools were inspected and
in some cases changes or improvements were ordered. No changes were ordered unless deemed absolutely necessary. It is the policy under the new system to have a gradual improv- ment of all schools rather than a sudden radical change.
It is expected that the next annual report will refer more specifically to the condition of the school-houses and other matters of local importance and contain an accurate re- cord as to the occurrence of contagious diseases in the town in the year 1920.
