Dear Sir: I respectfully submit the following report of the wire inspector For 1937: I have made (150) one hundred and fifty inspections and found them -done according to the Standard Specifications adopted by the National Electric Association and the National Code. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD C. McNUTT Inspector of Wires 16 ANNUAL REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL December 20, 1937 Mr. Harold H. Everett, Town Manager Mansfield, Mass. Dear Sir: The past year has been uneventful, and perhaps fortunately so. No court actions have been decided against us and very little new litigation started. The various departments of the Town have frequently required advice and assistance. Town officials have per- formed their work with conscientious fidelity. The Assessors have difficult problem which require , diplomacy and increasingly courage. Hardly a day goes by without an opinion being required from one or another of the Town's various activities. The Town itself is still our largest corporation and its duties are manifold. Your Counsel wishes to thank all Town officials for uniform courtesy and cooperation and to assure them, as well as all fellow townsmen, of my sincere desire to be ever zealous in true fidelity for the Town's best interests. Yours very truly, CLARENCE A. BARNES, Town Counsel INSPECTOR OF SLAUGHTERING December 31, 1937 Mr. Harold H. Everett Town Manager Mansfield, Mass. Dear Sir: I have inspected the slaughtering of 26 animals during the year which were free from disease. Respectfully submitted, RALPH B. WILLIS Inspector of Slaughtering 1 17 Annual Report ®f the Town Manager in accordance with section 20 (e) of the Town Charter. I herewith submit a general report of work carried out in de- partments under my jurisdiction. It is, of course, impossible to list all details such as cleaning of catch basins, sanding of streets, and the amount of snow removed, but I have attempted to list items of construction that might prove of value as mere statistics, or show as future assets in the community. During the past year the cooperation of the Selectmen and their valued counsel is herewith gratefully acknowledged, as is the cooperation of the department heads outside the Manager's prov- ince. To my loyal chiefs, superintendents, and co-workers I record my appreciation for their continued loyalty, interest and unfailing courtesy. Through this loyal cooperation, I have been able to carry out the policies as directed by the Selectmen, and obtain the great- est return for the funds expended.

New developments which should be considered are a s ming pool and tennis courts, which could be used for skating 70, 27 poses during the winter months. Many other possible developments could be considered. 2. Consideration should once again be given to starting a pro- gram of applying tarvia surfaces on gravel roads. Funds spent I on this work represent future assets to the community. 3. The question of radical changes in pumping at the Water Pumping Station should be considered. I feel that a suitable elec- I tric powered pump would give us not only lower pumping and labor costs, but also an assurance of dependability, not now enjoyed by : the old steam units in operation. 4. Consideration should be given to the continuation of our pro- igram of replacing smaller water mains. 5. A study should be made of the possibility of underground electric cables in the business section of the town. This would not only improve the appearance, but would eliminate all poles from the street, it would also provide suitable standards for street lighting and general efficiency of service. 6. An expansive sidewalk program would be worthy of con- sideration if financial conditions warrant it. 7. The possibility of motorizing . the work of garbage collec- tions should be considered. This present system is too slow for any efficiency, and increased demands are constantly being made. It must be kept in mind that this service is practically self- supporting. 8 The major items to be considered on the maintenance of town property are: Painting the Town Hall Painting the Memorial Building Saving if oil heat were used in the Town Hall and Memorial Building Thanking you for your cooperation in the past, and anticipat- ing;a more prosperous year for the community, I remain Yours respectfully, H. H. EVERETT Town Manager 28 SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES Mr. Harold H. Everett Town Manager Mansfield, Mass. J Dear Sir: I hereby submit my annual report for the year ending Dec( ber 31� 1937. Number of inspections made 178 Total of Standards approved 927 Total of Standards condemned 12 Fees secured and paid to Treasurer $132.66 This department has been handicapped by the lack of suita measuring devices for properly measuring the flow of stor, tanks having a meter flow up to 60 gallons per minute. O*tr pres equipment is but 5 gallons. The volume flow of these large met, produces such foaming conditions that no test of the accuracy the meter can be determined. The Division of Standards requires that a standard measuri device of at least 50 gallons capacity be purchased at once. I respectfully trust you give this request your attention a submit the -same to the proper authorities. We wish to thank the users of standards under our supervisi for their cooperation.

Number of Employment and Educational Certificates Issued, 121 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the School Committee and Citizens of Mansfield: Herewith is my third annual report of the Mansfield schools. The political, social, and economic organizations of our country are undergoing many rapid changes. More and more the schools are expected to train the young people to understand and cope with the various complex problems of life, as well as to offer the usual academic instruction. It becomes increasingly necessary that boys and girls receive a well-balanced education if they are to become worthy members of society and take their places as honest citizens. January 1 to December 31, 1937: . Curriculum Boys Girls Totals The subjects taught in our elementary schools include health, Employment (14 to 16 yrs. old) 12 1 13 physical education, character development, reading, writing, arith- Educational (16 to 21 yrs. old) 86 28 114 metic, geography, history, English literature, grammar, spelling, music, art, and safety. 98 29 127 Health—The importance of health is continually stressed. It is. 5. Present Enrollment in Vocational Schools, December 1937: now recognized as a way of laving, as well as a subject simply to be taught.

The Boston Evening Trade School __________________________________________ 1 school nurse is then notified, and follows up the case. New Bedford Vocational School ____________________________________ 2 17 At recess time, playground activities have been organized under the supervision of Miss Rosemary Davis, a senior at the Posse School of Physical Education. Her constructive suggestions have helped to strengthen the health program. The teachers have been very cooperative, and I feel have been successful in providing bet- ter organized play for the children. Character Development—The teaching of character education is correlated with the teaching of the daily subjects. Its importance cannot be overemphasized, because all school life is dependent up- on the outcome of character development. 122 Music—Marked progress has been made in music this- year at the various schools. The excellent instruction and organizing ability of our new music supervisor, Mr. Frederic W. Kempf, has stimu- lated an increasing enthusiasm for music. Tt the junior and senior high schools, orchestras and glee clubs have been formed. The weekly rehearsals have produced gratifying results. In Nov- ember, pupils and their parents were invited to attend a meeting held at the Senior High School for the purpose of arousing interest in forming classes in instrumental instruction. Several artists were present and played selections on their instruments: Enrico Fabrizio, member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, played the 'cello; John Hansel the violin, Lawrence Bearse the viola, Charles M. Burke the trumpet, Chester Hayward the clarinet, and Fred Jones the drums. It is hoped that in the future a revolving music fund may be established and handled by the School Department, through which pupils may purchase instruments by small monthly payments. This will enable more pupils to take advantage of class instruction at greatly reduced rates. To create love for music will mean more enjoyment and happiness in the home. Safety—Statistics prove that there have been an alarming number of fatal accidents throughout the Commonwealth during the past year, in the home and on the highway. Itseems reasonable to expect that many similar accidents might' be avoided if safety were emphasized in the schools. Commendable work has resulted, through the interest taken in the plan by both teachers and pupils. Safety projects completed by the pupils of the sixth grade in the Roland Green School were submitted to the Owen Publishing Company, and the school was awarded a certificate entitled, "An Award for the Active Participation in the Practice of Safety". A safety booklet made by the boys and girls of the Roland Green School was sent by request to the Supervisor of Safety Education. In the next monthly bulletin issued by the State Department of Education, the following excerpt appeared: "'Original Rhymes on Safety' is the title of a booklet made by the pupils of the Roland Green School, Mansfield, Massachusetts. Each page has an original rhyme, written in excellent handwriting by the authors. Each rhyme has an appropriate illustration, cut from, papers and magazines. The whole project was worked out in English, penman- ship, and drawing classes." 12.3 Hall School Last March the Hall School, a one -room rural building, was closed. The teacher and pupils were transferred to the Roland Green School, where better educational advantages were offered. The closing of the school, composed of four grades, and maintained for .only seventeen pupils, proved a financial saving to the town. The cost of instruction per pupil was higher at the Hall . School than at any ' other school in the town. The School Committee granted the use of the building to the Girl Scouts. Teachers Mr. John A. Carnie, teacher -coach at the senior high school, resigned to accept the position of football coach' at the Milton high school. He was very successful in producing many fine teams here, even when the athletic candidates were inexperienced. He was well liked by all who knew him. Mr. Buhl Bassett of Hyannis, a gradu- ate of Springfield College, was appointed to fill, the position. Al- ready he has won a place in the community and is doing a credit- able' piece of work. Miss Delphine Carpenter, part-time music supervisor, resigned her position last August. The position has been very capably filled by the appointment of Frederic W. Kempf of Stoughton. He has studied at the New England Conservatory of Music,"' Boston Uni- versity School of Music, and in Paris. Miss Dorothy Pope resigned her teaching position at the Senior I-iigh School on December 23rd, and Mr. Clark Richardson, commercial teacher at Holliston High School for the past two years, was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Hugh B. Wood, teacher in the Junior High School, re- signed his position in March, and Miss Abbie Saley, sixth grade teacher in the Roland Green School, was transferred to fill the vacancy. Miss Palladino, the teacher at the Hall School, was transferred to the Roland Green School. School Physician Dr. Daniel T. Sullivan; school physician, passed away in May, thus 'ending a career of a man, who for many years had served the schools. He was highly respected and loved by the teachers and 124 Pupils, who were deeply saddened by the passing of such a fine man and friend. Dr. Frederick S. Griffin has been appointed school physician for the remainder of the year to fill the unexpired term of Dr. John Kenney, who recently tendered his resignation. Janitors Mr. Robert Wroe, janitor of the PaineSchool for a number of years, passed away in January, and Mr. George Pomfret was appointed to fill the position. Mr. Edwin Brow, janitor at the Hartwell School, resigned at the end of the school year, and Mr. Ernest Williamson was appointed. Professional Improvement The elementary teachers and the junior and senior high school teachers met alternate months to participate in discussions of edu- cational topics. Mrs. Josephine Abbott, Consultant in Parent Edu- cation from the Division of Child Hygiene, has been secured to give four lectures in March at the Roland Green School, on "Under- standing Human Behavior". While the lectures are for teachers, they should prove equally helpful to parents, all of whom are cordially invited to attend. The Bristol County Teachers' Convention was held at Fall River in October; only two of the teachers were unable to attend. A conference for elementary teachers was held at Boston University January 15th and 16th. Three of the elementary teachers were unable to attend. Occasional regional meetings of elementary school principals have been held at the State Teachers' College in Bridgewater. Many of the teachers have again taken graduate work at various schools and colleges. The benefits derived are very evident, particularly in the elementary schools, where teach- ing efficiency has greatly improved. Salary Adjustment Last Spring, teachers and school employees who were under the ten per cent cut petitioned the School Committee for a restora- tion of the ten per cent which they felt was justly due them. Evi- dence was presented showing that business conditions in the town had improved considerably. Salary schedules of other towns the 125 size of Mansfield in population were secured and presented, indi- cating that very few cuts now existed. The School Committee, after much deliberation and careful study, finally decided to discon- tinue all general cuts and restore to the teachers and other school employees five per cent. Major Repairs and Improvements Senior High School—The water pressure was so low that a new water pipe had to be laid from the curb to the meter. A three -wire cable was strung from the pole to the building, replacing the two - wire cable; this was done to equalize the electrical load and elimi- nate a fire hazard. Proper outlet switches were also installed. The fire alarm system, which was considered inadequate, was re- placed by a new one, with stations on the first and second floors. Twelve new typewriters were purchased to replace a similar number which were either broken or so badly in need of repair • that they could not be used longer. Junior High School—A cement retaining wall was built along the curb and on both sides of the walk leading to the front entrance. The entire space in front of the building was then graded and seeded down. The old wiring throughout the building has been condemned many times, but it is gradually being replaced by new BX cable. This year the manual training and metal art rooms were com- pleted, and fourteen outlets with new fixtures installed. A com- bination morticing and drill press, machine, including parts and a motor, were purchased for the manual training department. Twenty new desks were bought to replace those which were beyond repair. Roland Green School—All loose mortar between the bricks was raked out and repointed, after which the whole surface was re- covered with a waterproof material. This, together with similar work done last year, completes waterproofing three sides of the building, which were leaking badly, and soiling the inside walls. A wall and ceiling in each of two rooms on the south side of the building had to be refinished and painted, due to stains caused by leakage before the building was waterproofed. Twelve new desks and seats were purchased for one of the fifth grade rooms, to replace small fourth grade seats which had been used. 126 Main Street School—The exterior of the building was scraped and painted with two coats of Dutch Boy white lead and oil. A new automatic pump was purchased to drain the water which continu- ally seeps into the boiler room, particularly during the Fall and Spring. Junior Red Cross During the past year the Junior Red Cross has been active as usual.. Twenty-five World War veterans at the United States Naval Hospital in Chelsea have been remembered on each holiday with presents. The following gifts were made by the pupils, and sent: lap boards, smoking stands, small chests, cribbage boards, checker boards, tray favors, menu covers, greeting cards, valen- tines, a bookcase, cretonne bags and hand-knit facecloths. These gifts were purchased from the clues paid by the children, and sent: Christmas trees, wreaths, tobacco, playing cards, postage stamps, footstools, razor blades, stationery, and matches. That the vete- rans deeply appreciate what the Junior Red Cross is doing for them is evidenced by the fact that they have adopted the slogan: "Mansfield never forgets". Many other articles which were made have been sent to the Children's Hospital in Boston. A program was presented by the pupils at the Town Hall on February 18th for the purpose of raising money for flood relief. The sum of $160.55 was realized. The posters used to advertise this entertainment were made by the school children. Americanization Classes An attempt was made to continue the Americanization classes last year, under the direction of Mr. Fred Hadlock, but because of a decrease in attendance from fifteen to nine, and finally to four students, it was discontinued. If there is evidence in the future that enough adults desire instruction, preparatory to passing ex- aminations for citizenship, in all probability classes will be re- sumed. The surplus funds of the National Youth Administration were reapportioned in January, and this town was allotted $30. monthly, providing part-time employment for five needy students at $6. per month. Since the beginning of school in September, however, no students applied for work, and undoubtedly our allottment will soon be withdrawn. 127 The Whiteville School, which has not been occupied for four years., has been turned over to the Selectmen. I wish to express to the School Committee, teachers, and town officials, my appreciation for their cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, BERT L. MERRILL, Superintendent of Schools REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SENOR HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Bert L. Merrill Superintendent of Schools Mansfield, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I respectfully submit my second annual report, for the year 1937. Studies During the year, an attempt has been made to provide each pupil with those studies now offered at the Senior High School which meet his or his parents' desires for educational background, which fulfill the entrance requirements of the post -secondary in- stitution selected, which cause the pupil to work to his capacity, and which make it possible for him to be, a successful student. The principal of the Junior High School, Mr. James J. Kelly, has been in conference during the second half of the last school year to interpret "the ratings of ninth grade pupils, their career interests, subject selections, and parents' requests for choice of curriculum, and to assist in defining the personnel of the divisions to enter the Senior High School this September. This has proved very helpful, eliminating much confusion and indecision in pupils' minds regarding the choice of subjects. By careful planning, it has been possible to build a schedule of classes at the Senior High School, by which each entrant has greater chances of success than if classes were made up without 128 reference to pupil ability, post -secondary choices, and career in- terests. The last four months have demonstrated the wisdom of this plan, but they have also shown us several ways in which differentiation of assignments must be attained before ideal edu- cational practice may be reached. Our system has been more or less geared to the "average" pupil. We can now approximate the ideal, procure those .materials which will cause the high -ability pupils to use his talents, and provide the slower pupil with a measure of satisfaction in personal achievement of a constructive type. This plan has, and will continue to demand our attention, for it is not possible of accomplishment in one month or one year; it requires continual study and revision. Music Some of the pupils in the high school are fortunate to have the opportunity to study instrumental and vocal music in the or- chestra and the glee club, under the direction of Mr. Frederic Kempf. To accommodate his time, a rotating schedule of periods is used each Tuesday. Since there is no suitable place in the High School for this instruction, town officials have approved the use of Memorial Hall. The school orchestra meets there at 11:40 for its period of practice and instruction. At 12:20, boys and girls in the glee club go there for singing. A good beginning has been made and it is hoped that as yearly progress is made, step by step in each grade, more and more high school pupils will join either of these units, and receive the half-point credit for participation. Athletics A tabulation near the end of this report will give records of this high school's regular success in boys' interscholastic athletics, under the coaches, Mr. John A. Carnie, and Mr. Buhl K. Bassett. Intramural contests for the girls were .conducted last year by Miss Elsa H. Henchel. This fall Miss Rosemary Davis, a senior in the Posse. School, holds physical education classes each Monday from 11:40-2:00. Gym classes for boys are carried on by Mr. Bassett on Tuesday and Wednesday during certain periods. Because of lack of time, it is impossible yet to enroll each boy and girl in classes for health training, but this is a goal to be reached. In these, classes, wholesome plays and games which may be continued through life are taught. 12'9 Our Graduates Some school officials assume responsibility for and interest in graduates. Under ideal conditions, this follow-up work should be performed by a qualified member of the staff. Since that is impossible for the present, we must be content with offering this ever-changing record. Class of 1937 Class of 1936 63 members last year, of which it is reported: 3 are post -graduates at M.H.S. 5 in college 3 in business schools 3 in other schools 5 in stores: 3 in offices 9 in factories 15 in other types of work - 17 ork17at home 83 members graduated two years ago, of which it is re- ported: 4 are in college 4 in business school 2 in other schools 12 in offices 5 in stores 19 in factories 17 in other work 14 at home Greatest Physical Need The school's greatest physical need is space. At the opening of school, every fixed desk and seat was assigned to a pupil, and several movable units had to be provided. The capacity of the building is taxed. There is no adequate assembly room. 104 seats in the largest room cannot hold 275 pupils and 13 teachers. The use of the Town Hall to get all pupils together is time-consuming. The Science Department, given three rooms in the original plan of the building in '1911, has been crowded for laboratory and recita- tion work into two rooms, with the Mathematics Department. The third room is devoted to Domestic Science and lunch preparation. This Department accommodates only about one-third of the girls it might train, because of its limited facilities. The shower and locker rooms are inadequate. The girls' shower room, particularly, is not equipped to be used by girls, consequently the young women have no opportunity to bathe properly after exer- cise in a health or gym class. 130 Educational Needs Our academic instruction, fits earnest pupils to enter any college in the country. Standard examinations are given those seniors who seek admission to some post -secondary institution. With his marks in studies and personality ratings, the results of these examina- tions given here each spring, furnish guides for counseling. In this field of preparation for college admLssion, our needs are few. Our school has been uniformly successful in instructing apt, studi- ous pupils to reach the level of . achievement demanded for college work. 131 few subject offerings are available to meet this situation. This is an educational need which has arisen in the last two decades, and .should be within the community's power to provide. Every year, fewer graduates go to college from Mansfield. Not many years ago, twenty or more graduates enrolled in college annually. Now, five is a good average. The school is ree-giving every year more boys and :girls who seek a practical, everyday education, but so far, textbook instruction has been our forte. Other Activities Athletic Graduates of the commercial course have no trouble holding office positions, when these are available. If office managers honor our recommendations, failures are most uncommon. However, we have educational needs for other pupils, for those who withdraw before graduation, and for those who seek employ- ment following graduation. Many of these pupils are manually skillful, but are not apt in textbook information. Their reading ability is low, they read very slowly and with little comprehension of ungraded material. Every high school which enrolls "all the children of all the people", promoted from the junior high school is faced with a similar problem. Some of these pupils would have difficulty in interpreting a railroad or bus timetable, judging from their achievement in somewhat similar material related to our present textbooks. Others would be unable to prepare food from an unfamiliar recipe. Others would not build a piece of machinery' from printed directions. This inability to interpret written ex- planations or statements is common. We need testing devices,, manual courses, a.nd visual aids to teach these pupils. Another educational need is the improvement of facilities to give more girls a chance to study home making. The school should give the majority, not thirty or thiry five annually, the benefit of this instruction, care and management of a home, of a family, budgeting and spending the family income. While the .girls could, under proper conditions, be taught the essentials of home making, the boys have no opportunity to study handcraft, elements of machine work, drawing, ways of earning a living, holding a job, and heading a family. The biggest job in the world—maintaining a home and family—is in prospect for most high school boys and girls, but in the curricula of this high school Basketball, winter of 1.936-1937 Varsity, played 20 games, won 17, lost 3 Junior varsity played 17 games, won 17 Coach John A.

Shepard � advisers I sincerely appreciate the very earnest support of the mem- bers of the School Committee, of you as Superintendent, and of the high school teachers and pupils. With the cooperation of all, much has .been accomplished during the year. Respectfully submitted, DONALD P. MATTOON, Principal REPORT OF THE P'RIN'CIPAL OF THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Bert L. Merrill Superintendent of Schools Mansfield, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I herewith submit my report of the Central Junior High School for the year ending December 31, 1937. The present curriculum of the Junior High School both meets the .demand for education along vocational and academic lines and recognizes the necessity of studying current social problems. Be- sides the time-honored subjects—English, arithmetic, history, and geography—social studies help the pupil to become a useful 'citi- zen, and practical courses in manual arts offer training of a strictly vocational nature. In all classes the pupils are taught to study, cooperate with their teachers, learn from each other, and realize that the whole child must be developed. Athletic programs, super- vised by the teachers, make the pupil aware that he must develop his mind and body, and keep in good physical condition so that he can, work with a will and play intelligently. A uniform program of studies is followed by all students in 133 grades seven and eight, .but in grade nine the final choice of the course to be pursued must be made by the pupil with the consent of the parent. At present the Junior High School offers three courses outlined in the following table: College Scientific Commercial Subject Periods Subject Periods Subject Periods English 5 English 5 English 5 Algebra 5 Algebra 5 Com. Arith. 5 Latin 5 Eng. History 5 Business Practice 5 Eng. History 5 Gen. S;ci-ence 3 Gen. Science 3 Gen. Science 3 Literature 3 Literature 3 Literature 3 Mech. Drawing 1 Sewing ( girls) 2 Physical Tr.

Tr. 1/2 *Special twenty minute periods No pupil is promoted to the Senior High School if he fails a major subject (5 points credit) and a minor subject, unless he tutors during the summer in at least one of the subjects, failed, and satisfactorily passes an examination before entering the Senior High School. Failure in two major subjects means no promotion. During the past year there has been a smaller number of subject failures due to the new plan of home study initiated in grades seven and eight. Under the present system home study is required in only one subject a night and time is allowed in class for supervised study and make-up work. More time for prepara- tion is necessary in grade nine and although a certain number of periods are allowed for supervised study, each pupil is expected to devote at least one hour each night to prepare his assignments for the following day. This must be done in order to measure up to the standards set for the ninth grade course. It has been very gratifying to see the number of students who avail themselves of the opportunity to use the reference material in the office library and the new books and magazines placed at their disposal on the English reference table. Such training in outside reference work will be invaluable to the student who plans to follow advanced courses of an academic nature. Vocational guidance courses are conducted in grade eight in 134 order to acquaint the pupil with the requirements necessary to follow his chosen vocation. This brief investigation, although elementary in nature, ,gives the pupil some knowledge of the op' portunities open to him in the world today and helps him select the course best suited to his individual needs.. Exploratory courses of a vocational nature are offered] in manual arts and art metal. This vocational training has aroused considerable interest. Parents and children have become intensely practical in recent years and tend to regard education as a means of earning a livelihood. Standards for apprentices have been raised and the demand for strictly vocational courses has increased. The manual arts department is well equipped to meet these re- quirements and the courses offered encourage the boy, who is mechanically inclined, to develop useful skills. Modern education has placed considerable emphasis upon vis- ual education. Following this trend, various teachers have rented films from the Department of Education and used them in con- nection with the . subject :matter of the various classes. Maps, charts, graphs, and pictures have also been employed to clarify difficult problems or add interesting supplementary material. Assemblies were held in the Town Hall at various times during the year. Programs were presented by the various clubs and school orchestra. The student body evinced great interest in these activities which were both instructive and entertaining. School banking was conducted each week for all students de- sirous of establishing habits of thrift. This practice has become an important part of our practical education. The ear and eye tests were given to all students. The teachers conducted the individual eye tests and the state representative gave the audiometer tests. All cases of poor hearing or defective eye sight were reported to the parents. The annual Junior Red Cross program was presented and the pupils were enrolled one hundred per cent. The sewing and manual training departments were called upon by the Red Cross repre- sentatives to cooperate with them in their work for the disabled hospital veterans. Both departments responded with energy and enthusiasm. 135 One period a week is devoted to extra -curricular activities of a club nature. The purpose of these clubs is to afford the pupil an opportunity to widen the range of his interests in social and practical affairs. The Junior High School boasts the following or- ganizations: the Press Club, the Dramatic Club, the Knitting Club, Domestic Science Club, Model Club, and a business club for pupils in grade nine. Organized athletic programs were conducted for the boys in football, basketball, and baseball. Regular schedules were ar- ranged in football and baseball. The basketball was confined to intra -mural games. The fundamentals of these sports were taught to aid the boys in future competitions. The school cafeteria is managed efficiently with the present materials available. I wish to submit for your consideration the possibility of a domestic science course for girls in grade nine. The annual school exhibition attracted unusual attention due to the debate which was anadded feature. The work shown in the various classrooms was representative of the work done in the school year. May I take this opportunity to express my appreciation for your practical interest in the welfare of the Junior High School. I also wish to thank the School Committee and teachers for their loyal cooperation throughout the school year. Respectfully submitted, JAMES J. KELLY,. Principal REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE Mr. Bert L. Merrill Superintendent of Schools Mansfield, Massachusetts Dear Sir: It is again my privilege to transmit to you a summary of the health work in our schools during 1937. 136 Early in January eleven pupils were given physical examina- tions by a physician from the Bristol County Tuberculosis Clinic. These pupils were those who had been given the tuberculin test during the latter part of 1936, and who showed a positive reaction to the test. During February, eighteen pupils remaining on the ten- year program of the Chadwick Clinic, which is adivision of the State Department of Public Health, were X-rayed and -' given physical examinations by a physician from the State. Of ` this particular group, eight were discharged as completely improved in health. The remaining ten were transferred to the Bristol County Clinic list for further observation. Following is a report of the clinic: Number re-examined 18 Number improved 18 Number X-rayed 18 Number discharged 8 In March, and extending into June, a Well Child Conference was conducted by a unit from the State Department of Public Health, sponsored by the Board of Health in this town. At that time a survey was made of all children from six months to six years of age, and letters were sent to the parents of all children of these ages, urging them to take advantage, through registration, of the Well Child Conference. It proved to be a huge success, and a great deal of cooperation and appreciation was shown by the large number of parents who attended the Conference. The. Well Child Conference, which is held each year in our schools, has a defi- nite goal—it educates the parent as to the need for early periodic examination of the child. The unit from the State Department of Public Health consisted of a medical doctor who examined the child and advised the parent concerning the findings of the exam- ination, a trained dental hygienist who offered her advice, and a nutritionist who helped each parent to plan the diet of the child. This unit does not advocate free medical or dental service for the correction of defects, but refers the child to the family physician and dentist for treatment, unless it is found necessary to have some benevolent society provide needed services in selected cases. Many of the cases where defects were found have been followed up and corrected. Following is a resume of the Conference: Total number of children examined 190 (Of this number 112 were pre-school children, 9 were infants, and 44 were 137 children who entered school this Fall.) 49 needed medical attention 1 chest X-ray 73 vaccination 21 attention to the throat 121 " dental, attention 23 improved nutrition In conjunction with the Well Child Conference, a Diphtheria Preventive Clinic, sponsored also by the Board of Health, was held in the Town Hall on June 18th, 25th, and July 2nd. All children three months to six years of age were eligible for treat- ment. The service was free of charge. Due to these preventive clinics, the diphtheria mortality rate has been steadily decreasing. Two boys and two girls were sent to the Bristol, County Health Camp for one month each, during July ani August. This group included possible tubercular contacts and underweights. This was made possible by the sale of Christmas seals in this town. An increase in weight was shown in each case, and the formation of good health habits has been very noticeable in the homes. Of 939 pupils whose ears were tested by means of the audio- meter" in December, 1936, 2.78 were retested in February, due to subnormal hearing. A complete check-up will be given in the near future for those pupils who still show a hearing disability. The parents have shown a great deal of interest by consulting their physicians and attending ear clinics, to find the cause of the child's hearing difficulty. This cooperation has been very essential and every effort is being made to alleviate or prevent deafness among our school children. In several cases the removal of wax or a foreign body from the ear canal was. the only simple treat- ment needed. A large percentage of cases were due to the result of a, communicable disease, for example scarlet fever, measles, and whooping cough. The dental clinic was carried on, as in past years, sponsored by the District Nursing Association. In September six pupils three or more years retarded in mental development were examined by Dr. Mary C. Hammond, psychiatrist from the State Department of Mental Diseases. This service is of great value to our schools, as it helps to settle many troublesome questions in reference to child problems. The back- 138 ward child, when . placed in a proper environment and taught in an understanding manner, improves in almost every instance. Classroom inspections, periodic weighing and measuring, and conferences with parents, have been of vital importance to our school health program. Milk donated by the Rotary and Lions' Clubs, is being distri- buted throughout the schools to children who do not have a suffi- cient supply in their homes. Milk is also on sale for all children who wish to buy it. At the beginning of the Fall term, all boys who wished to par- ticipate in football were given a thorough physical examination. The same examination was again given at the beginning of the basketball season in December. A consultation concerning our methods in giving physical ex- aminations was held with Dr. Fredericka Moore, Consultant in School Hygiene of the State Department, and Superintendent Mer- rill. It was decided at that time to adopt a new plan,, whereby certain grades in our schools would be given a more thorough examination. 'The first, third, fifth, eighth and tenth grades were decided upon. A woman physician has been engaged to give the examinations to the girls in our junior and senior high schools of the two grades selected. Physical examinations are now being carried on in the schools. A number of defects are being discov- ered by the school physician; dental defects have been the most numerous, but diseased or abnormal tonsils, malnutrition, or poor posture are also found. The parents will be notified of the de- fects found, and in many instances will be visited, to offer''assist- ance in the correction of these defects. School health work can be of little effect without the full cooperation of the home.. Follow-up work to bring about direct contact with the home has become more extensive than in previous years. I find that there is great need for more and closer contact between the parent and the school, and trust that as my work progresses, more of my time can be devoted to this follow-up work. Meetings have been attended for professional improvement, as follows: Health Conservation Round Table Discussion, held at Boston University; Monthly meetings of the Bristol -Norfolk Health 139 Workers' Club; State Nurses' Association Annual Meeting; Series of lectures on health education at Newton High School; Conference on Social ,Service in Relation to Schools and Churches, held in Brockton. There have been no epidemics of communicable diseases during the year. The diseases among our school children, so far as known, are as follows: Suppurative conjunctivitis 2 Chicken pox 18 Scarlet fever 1 Whooping cough 13 Measles 13 In November the Bristol County Clinic again gave the tubercu- lin test to thirty-six pupils in the high school, with the consent of the parents. All those whose reaction was positive were X-rayed, and an examination with the parent present was also given, in December. The recommendation of Dr. Hill will depend largely upon the history, the medical and general physical condition of the pupil. These children will be given a yearly check-up. I would like at this time to thank the Superintendent, the School Committee and the Mansfield Board of Health for their splendid cooperation in school health matters. I also wish to ex- press my appreciation to Dr. Frederick S. Griffin for his gene- rosity and cooperation, to make it financially possible for a great many .of our school children to have nose and throat defects cor- rected. Respectfully submitted, ANNA G.
