32 1 ANNUAL TOWN REPORT 31 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the Superintending School Committee and Citizens of the Town of Winter Harbor: I hereby submit my third annual report of the condition and progress of our schools. f j «;. V * - / A century ago the great American Educator, Horace Mann, through his foresight and untiring efforts as Secretary of the first Board o f Education gave us the public school. Since that time more progress has 'been made in education 4 * * 0 than in all the other years before. We have learned to agree with Horace Mann that the very life of our democracy depends upon the quality of citizenship we can teach our «, children. In.addition to the teaching of fundamental skills we need to build into the child s character such attributes as health, sportsmanship, work, thrift, courtesy, love of nature, proper use of spare time, cooperation and self-reliance. The fact ' that character c* must be caught as well as taught * J - * places a grave responsibility upon our teachers. It offers a challenge and I believe without exception our teachers are accepting this challenge. Their high quality and efficiency are reflected in the keen interest in school work which is shown by pupils of both High and Common Schools, also by the friendly spirit of cooperation which prevails throughout the community. Miss Virginia Yeaton in the Grammar School is living up to her fine reputation as a teacher, while Miss Ivy Rice and Mrs. Avis Nash fill their usual positions with credit. As formerly we are using the Stanford Achievement Test in the elementary grades for the purpose of judging pupil progress, for such remedial work as we are able to do and for a more intelligent grade promotion. Even though all I pupils cannot seem to reach requirements, f progress on the whole is steady and satisfactory. In few cases it is almost remarkable. The rather intensive spelling program of last year is being continued successfully with weekly averages higher than

An effort has been made to provide the schools with suitable library books with the hope that a greater interest in reading may be aroused. The results are gratifying. Through the limited use of personal educational films it has been shown that visual education should have a real place in our school program. It is now possible to choose pictures so correlated with social subjects as to be very valuable. The child who ordinarily grasps ideas slowly, learns quickly through sight, and retains indefinitely the knowledge gained. I hope * * ^» the time is not far off when we shall want to make an appropriation for a projector and educational films.. ' * i * 1» We are making more progress than formerly in the teach- ing of music in the schools. This activity is now greatly stimulated and programs are more successful because of the fine piano which was the generous gift of Mr. and Mrs. $ George Faulkner.» ^, - I, I, 1 J.» m Our Annual Field-Day which includes the entire School District serves not only as a pleasurable play-day for children but also promotes good health through the Seven- Point program and is coming to have a greater motivating influence in the school program itself. On Field-Day are exhibited the various types of playground activity so much enjoyed by the lower grades, also upper grades are afforded an opportunity to engage m friendly competition in track events. Following the parade the Seven-Point Circle is a striking feature. We are proud of the fact that last year seventy-two percent of the whole enrollment were Seven- Pointers, whereas the previous year only fifty-two percent were able to participate. We look to you parents and friends for your cooperation in working toward a goal of one hundred percent. We hope that more grown-ups will come to realize that Field-Day is not for children only, but is a wonderful day for old as well as young. From year to year

34 ANNUAL TOW N R EPO RT 33 our success is due very largely to the untiring efforts of our school nurse. In our High School we are departing somewhat from the traditional academic curriculum with its heavy load of language and history and are inclined toward the modem trend which stresses the study of social science which is really the art of living wholesome, normal, active, useful lives in present day society. With this in mind we have introduced courses like Problems of Democracy, High School Geography, Biology and Business Arithmetic. Students show an interest in these subjects not because they find them easy but because they find in them interesting and useful * information coupled with strong cultural influences. Biology, a beautiful story, the science of living things stimulates the student s imagination and under the efficient guidance of Prin. J. Harold Smith it brings him face to face with the mystery of life. Business Arithmetic and World History, first year subjects are being splendidly presented by Mr. Richard O. Bickford who comes to us with a background of successful experience. Languages are being taught as formerly by Miss Paulene M. Dunn in her efficient and pleasing manner which is so well known. I believe a fine spirit pervades the school. Improvements on the High School heating plant which were made last summer are very satisfactory. We should now turn our attention toward the light and heat in the Common School building. Respectfully, M. R. KEYES, Superintendent of Schools.

39 38 ANNUAL TOWN R EPO RT PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES REPORT To the Citizens of Winter Harbor I hereby submit the report of the nursing service given your town beginning January 1, 1937 and ending December 31, t» *.. In March and April during the Cancer Prevention and Early Diagnosis Campaign over 1,000 pamphlets on these subjects were placed in libraries, schools, factories and homes. Posters were also exhibited in all public places. At the school field day held May 24, 168 pupils who had won the Seven Point pin as a health award took part in the exercises. t In August the nurse assisted in the annual infant and preschool clinic. One of our summer friends, Dr. Shorey, examined the 27 babies and preschool and gave the mothers t helpful advice. As skin infection seems to be more prevalent when schools open inspection of pupils was made to prevent spread of such diseases and to secure early treatment. At this time sanitary inspection of school building, and play ground e- quipment was also made the first week of school. The annual inspections were completed October 1 in all schools and notices of defects were sent to parents and a full report of findings left with each teacher. School Nursing: Number of pupils inspected 127 Number of pupils with defective teeth 58 Number of pupils with defective throats, 3 Number of pupils with defective vision 9 Number of pupils with nasal obstruction 1 Number of pupils with enlarged glands 7 Number of pupils 10% or more underweight 7 Number of pupils with poor posture 4 Number of pupils with defective hearing 2 5 have had vision corrections, 2 teeth corrections and 1 throat operation.

40 ANNUAL TOWN REPO RT 39 Schools have been visited regularly for the purpose of helping pupils and teachers with their health problems. During the year 290 home visits of instruction and investigation were made to babies, preschool and school children, prenatal patients, T. B. patients and contacts and other types of communicable diseases. Many visits to give care to sick were made and three deliveries were attended. 50 school children were taken to the dentist offices for treatment and 43 patients taken to hospitals, doctors and clinics in nearby cities. I extend thanks to all who have cooperated in every way to the success of their nursing service. Respectfully submitted, FLANDERS BAY NURSING SERVICE, By Clye H. Ricker, R. N. $ \
