ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING
MARCH 8, 1937
A legal meeting of the Inhabitants of the Town of Chelmsford
qualified to vote in Town affairs, held pursuant to Warrant duly posted
said meeting held in the Upper Town Hall at Chelmsford Centre on
March 8, 1937 at 10 A. M. Walter Perham called the meeting to order
and requested Town Clerk, Harold C. Petterson to read the Warrant,
after the Warrant was partly read a motion to waive the further reading
of the Warrant was made by Arthur Dutton and it was so voted.
Under article One :
It was voted to accept the Town report as printed with the cor-
rection of an error under the list of "Officers Elected" in place of
Raymond Reid as Sinking Fund Commissioner, this should read, Fritz
H. Pearson. The correction was made by Town Clerk, Harold C.
Petterson.
Under article Two :
On a motion made by James A. Grant, it was voted to lay this
article on the table until after the noon recess.
Under article Three :
Mr. Howard Smith reported for the zoning committee his report
was as follows :
At the Annual Town Meeting a year ago the Selectmen were
authorized to appoint a committee to look into the question of the ad-
visability of zoning the Town. A committee of seventeen was .appointed.
Early in the fall a meeting was held for the purpose of acquainting the
members with the subject of zoning. We had a speaker from the
State Department of Public Welfare, Division of Housing and Planning,
and this was followed by an open meeting for all interested, the speaker
this time was Mr. Edward T. Hartman, State Consultant on Town and
City Planning. From the two speakers I think that the members of the
temporary committee obtained a fairly good idea of what zoning means
to a town.
Zoning has for its bases the protection of residential districts. All
planners and citizens interested in protected home areas recognize that
every element of protection must be provided if an investment in a
21
home is to be safe. The greatest element of competition between towns
is a protection they offer to homeseekers and business alike.
Your committee believe that zoning would be a distinct and lasting
benefit to the Town and we recommend that the necessary action be
taken at this meeting to lay the foundation for doing this. The first step
is to adopt certain State Laws which have to do with Town planning and
zoning and secondly to elect a planning board to do this work. We
recommend that the members of the planning board serve without pay.
(Town zoning is often done by professional zoners who receive from
$500 to $1000 for the work they do) if the recommendations of the com-
mittee are followed it is not proposed to have any extra cost to the
Town of Chelmsford except the cost of printing the final report.
Zoning is a method of regulating community growth along the
right lines, with special reference to health, comfort, safety and general
welfare.
HOWARD D. SMITH
Chairman of the Temporary Zoning Committee.
On a motion made by James A. Grant the following members were
elected to the planning board, as follows :

REPORT OF THE CHELMSFORD W. P. A. FOR 1937
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Town of Chelmsford Massachusetts
Honorable Sirs :
As Sponsor's Agent for the Town of Chelmsford I hereby submit
my report to you and the citizens of Chelmsford showing projects un-
dertaken by the W. P. A. during the year 1937.
The number of persons employed under the W. P. A. during the
year varied to a very great extent.
In the month of February 1937 we had on the W. P. A. payrolls 217
persons 186 males and 31 females on the sewing project.
At the approach of the spring and summer months that number
was decreased to 117 due to the fact that industry and other forms of
seasonal employment absorbed 100 persons bringing our total number
down to 117.
During the month of June came the great curtailment in the num-
ber of persons to be employed on the W. P. A., and during that month
our quota was reduced to 35 males and 15 females on the sewing pro-
ject.
That number remained the same until Dec. 1937, and during that
month our quota started to increase and at the present time we have
on the W. P. A. payrolls 63 on manual project 13 on the sewing project
1 on the historical survey project and 5 on our town survey project a
total of 82 persons.
The projects started in 1937 were as follows, some were completed
and others are still under the process of construction.
OUR TOWN SURVEY PROJECT was completed as far as the town
roads, bodies of water, railroads, cemeteries, public buildings and parks
are concerned. In December a new survey was started, and the scope
of this project will be to make a general survey of private property
which will include registering of deeds and indexing public records which
will be of great assistance to the Assessors in determining the tax rate.
77
OUR TOWN INFIRMARY PROJECT included repairing and
painting of cattle barn and tool shed, which included taking off old
clapboards and replacing with new.
Repairing cupola, milk shed, replacing old wooden gutters with metal
gutters, re-shingling of south side of barn and painting the new work
3 coats and the old 2 coats.
OUR WESTLANDS SCHOOL PLAYGROUND PROJECT was
one of our outstanding project.
This project consisted of building a regulation infield one of the
best in New England. A water pipe was laid from the school building
to the bleachers on the first base line so that the diamond can be
watered at anytime.
Four 16 ft. sections of bleachers were erected. The material being
donated by the P. T. A. of the Westland and many thanks to therm
A regulation backstop was erected. The tennis court rebuilt, and
the entire field was loamed to the depth of 4 in. rolled and seeded. This
playground is greatly appreciated by the people who live in that com-
munity as they are very loyal to their baseball team.
OUR SEWING PROJECT is at present furnishing employment
to 13 women. Their temporary quarters are at the American Legion
quarters. It is giving employment to women who might encounter great
difficulty in securing employment elsewhere. The fruits of their labor
are enjoyed by the many needy in our town as well as other towns.
OUR PROJECT for repairing the fire houses in East Chelmsford,
South Chelmsford and the Center consisted of tearing up of old wooden
floor in Center fire house and replacing with cement floor, building a
wooden partition between house where fire truck is housed and where
the old ladder truck was kept. New electric wiring was installed and
building was painted inside and out.
At South Chelmsford 25 broken and cracked lights of glass were
replaced. Windows were painted 2 coats inside and out and the doors
were also painted 2 coats. A 2 way switch was installed in the engine
room.
VARNEY PLAYGROUND PROJECT consisted of erecting over
backstop frame 480 L. F. erected the year before 2880 sq. ft. of wire and
painting the same. 44 cu. yds. of clay were spread to finish the tennis
courts. 200 cu. yds. of loam were spread 4 inches deep along first and
third base line, rolled and seeded. Undesirable trees were cut down
along Adams St. the grade cut down in an area 60x13 ft., seeded and
rolled.
78
FARM TO MARKET ROADS SCHEDULE A.
Approximately one and one-sixth miles of road was widened,
straightened, graveled and oiled on the Riverneck Rd. The grade of the
road was raised to an average of 18 inches along the meadow on both
sides of this road. The old wooden bridge and culvert were replaced
by 2 lines of 4 ft. x 24 ft. culvert pipe laid side by side to take care of
the flow of water that formerly went under the old bridge.
On the Locke Rd. approximately 2000 feet of road was widened,
graveled and oiled.
We also have a group of Farm to Market Roads under schedule B.
that takes in the Graniteville Rd., Fairview Rd., upper end of Locke Rd ,
Twiss Rd. and Ledge Rd. operated as a local Farm to Market Rds.
Work has already begun on the Fairview Rd.
OUR MOTH PROJECT was started in the spring of 1937. It in-
cluded an infected area along the Boston Rd., Littleton St. to Westford
Rd. bordering along town lines of Billerica, Carlisle, and Westford. This
area was heavily infested with brown tail and gypsy moths that were
rapidly destroying the trees in those respective areas. The brown tails
were cut and burned and the gypsies creasoted and destroyed.
We are now operating a new moth project which includes approx-
imately 100 miles of roads including Fairview Rd., Smith Ave., Steadman
St., Westford St., Boston Rd. to Billerica line, and northeasterly to
Lowell City line. The tent caterpillars are to be cut and burned and also
the brush along those highways. The gypsies to be cresoted and the
brown tail and tent caterpillars to be sprayed at the proper time.
THE EAST CHELMSFORD SCHOOL PLAYGROUND PRO-
JECT is by far the hardest project that we have yet undertaken. Ap-
proximately 7000 cu. yds. of earth an rock have been moved. Up to the
present time approximately 300 cu. yds. of rock and boulders have been
blasted and moved to fill in the low areas on this field.
To make this field level it necessitated filling a depression 15 ft.
deep for a distance of about 125 ft. Trees had to be cut and removed
and brush cut and burned to make room, for the playing field.
Approximately 1400 cu yds. of loam was saved from top of field put
in piles to be used in grading field when completed.
The field is to be sloped down to edge of the hard surface of Carlisle
Street.
There are approximately 4000 cu. yds. of rock and earth to move
before the field is brought down to the desired level.
79
When the excavating is completed the entire field loamed fertilized,
seeded and rolled. A fence along Carlisle St. erected, regulation back
stop erected it will be one of the finest playgrounds in the Town of
Chelmsford. It comprizes about 2^ acres.
This project has been temporarily suspended until the new sup-
plementary project has been approved for the completion of the project.
THE NORTH CHELMSFORD WATER DIST. PROJECT con-
sisted in setting out 3000 pine seedlings, arbor vetal trees and general
beautification of property belonging to the North Chelmsford Fire Dis-
The Fire Dist. furnished and paid for all the material used in operating
the project.
THE LOCUST RD. PROJECT consisted of widening, straightening
and draining from Byam Rd. down to High St. In order to eliminate
a bad curve in the road Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Dutton deeded to the Town
a strip of land so that a wall could be pushed back for a distance of ap-
proximately 120 ft. and about 15 ft. back at the narrowest point.
OUR TOWN HALL PROJECT is one of the outstanding projects
undertaken by the town since the work relief programs started. The
hall is being completely remodeled. A new automatic heating system,
and, new electric wiring throughout the building.
Space will not permit my going into all the details, but the hall will
soon be open for inspection to all the citizens of the town, and they will
have every reason to be proud of their Town Hall.
I wish at this time to present to you and the citizens of Chelmsford
some very significant figures pertaining to the amount of money that the
Federal Government contributed to the Town of Chelmsford in wages.
The amount of money earned by the people who live in the Town of
Chelmsford and employed on the local town project received in wages
the sum of $51548.57. On the State wide Projects which included side-
walks and general road beautification they received approximately
$24402.43 making a total of $75950.00 that the people in the Town of
Chelmsford received in wages during the year 1937.
Had it not been for general curtailment that took place during the
month of June, the W. P. A. workers in Chelmsford would have received
in wages approximately $100,000.00.
The Town of Chelmsford appropriated for W. P. A. activities for the
year 1937 the sum of $8295.00. That sum was originally intended to
carry on until Sept. 1, 1938 but the number of workers left on the pay-
rolls after August was so small that we could not open up any newr
projects so that that sum appropriated carried us through the entire
year.
80
In figuring out the percentage of money spent by the town compared
to the amount contributed by the Federal Government one can readily
see that it is relatively small. In other words the town's share was
approximately 11 per cent and the government 89 per cent.
At the present time we have 9 different projects that have already
been approved and can be put into operation during 1938 providing the
town will raise the money for the material. The Board of Selectmen
have already chosen several worth while projects to be started during
the ensuing year.
I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, department heads, and
Town Officials who co-operated so willingly to make the operation of
our projects a success.
Respectfully submitted,
F. J. LUPIEN,
Sponsor's Agent.

REPORT OF WELFARE AGENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
I herewith submit the report of the Department of Public Welfare
for the year 1937.
During the past year the cost of relief soared to a new high mark.
This was not looked for,in fact a reduction was expected at the begin-
ning of the year and the appropriation was reduced with this in mind.
The first half of the year proved to be fairly normal and the cost
was running close to expectations; but on July 1, 1937 THE W. P. A.
CUT THE WORKING QUOTA OF THE TOWN OF CHELMSFORD
OVER ONE-HALF OR EXACTLY 59 per cent. Included in this
reduction were all aliens, men who were over 65 years of age and non-
producers such as semi-crippled and disabled men who were employed
as water-boys and timekeepers.
As a result of this tremendous lay-off our relief rolls were greatly
increased from July to the end of the year. In addition to this came the
overwhelming slump in private industry which included our two major
textile factories, also the quarries with the exception of one.
It is a matter of opinion as to the relative merit or demerit of the
Federal WPA, but this much is certain — unless the town receives liberal
consideration from this work relief program it means an increase in
welfare costs which is an increase on our tax rate.
The following account for the year 1937 is given month by month

The total cost of relief INCLUDING all Federal Grants was as fol-
lows :
Outside Relief $ 25,363.88
Old Age Assistance $ 21,842.28
Fed. Grants OAA 18,187.58 40,029.86

Aid for Dep. Children 3,703.49
Fed. Grants A. D. C 1,034.00 4,737.49
$ 70,131.23
The reimbursements which the Town Treasurer received during
1937 are as follows :
Relief $ 13,934.94
Old Age Assist 8,883.51
A. D. C 152.35
Totals $ 22,970.80
This total represents what goes into the general treasury of the
town and which can be applied as part of the estimated receipts for the
coming year.
Insofar as the outlook for 1938 regarding welfare costs, who can tell ?
When all indications pointed to a new era of business recovery at the
beginning of last year and the last half proved to be anything but that,
it is difficult to forecast what the future has in store.
I wish to thank the citizens of the town for their whole hearted co-
operation which they gave me during the past year. I wish to especially
commend the Board of Public Welfare who worked so diligently and
unselffishly many times into the small hours of the morning in the proper
discharge of their duties. We also received a tremendous amount of
assistance from the various agencies of the Lowell Community Chest,
viz : the Catholic Charitable Bureau, the Lowell Social Service League,
and the Red Cross.
Respectfully submitted,
LEONARD S. MacELROY,
Agent.

REPORT OF FOREST WARDEN
December 31, 1937
Board of Selectmen,
Chelmsford, Mass.
Gentlemen :
The annual report of the Forest Warden is respectfully submitted
herewith.
Besides the District Chiefs of the Fire Department, the following
were appointed Deputy Forest Wardens :
Herbert M. Sturtevant
Walter H. Merrill
Fred W. Merrill
Fred L. Fletcher
Spencer W. Chamberlin
Adam C. Zabierek
Ernest C. Soulis, (resigned)
Mark Norton (to fill vacancy)
Robert Henderson
During the past year we were called to extinguish one hundred and
twenty-eight (128) forest and grass fires.
About three hundred (300 acres of land were burned over; most of
this was scrub and grass land of no merchantable value.
Two small building were burned by fires caused from sparks from
incinerators.
Several fires were of incendiary origin; others were caused by
abandoned camp fires and careless discarded cigarettes.
Several small children were apprehended for starting fires, but no
court action was taken. It was deemed' advisable to allow their par-
ents to administer punishment.
It was estimated that about fifteen hundred (1500) permits were
issued by this department during 1937.
Next year (1938) it will be necessary to have a permit to burn rub-
bish and debries in an incinerator. Each incinerator will be inspected
by the Forest Warden before a permit is issued.
99
All equipment, both in the care of deputies and at our headquarters
was carefully tested and necessary repairs made.
Fine assistance and co-operation were rendered to this town b}r
State Fire Warden Stone during the past year.
In conclusion I wish to express my appreciation to the Police De-
partment, Fire Department and my Deputies for the fine co-operation
they have extended me during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
GILBERT H. PERHAM,
Forest Warden.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION
The following is a report of the work of the Middlesex County Ex-
tension Service for the town of Chelmsford, during 1937.
Very active interest has been taken by the farmers of the town dur-
ing the year in the work of the Extension Service. Among the poultry-
men, forty-three farm visits were made upon request. These had to do
largely with poultry diseases and management.
A culling and vaccination demonstration was held at the McHugh
Farm. General information on marketing and poultry management was
sent to seventy-seven different poultrymen.
A soil testing clinic was held at the Emerson Farm at which time
Professor Ralph Donaldson from the State College was present.
In the State 300 Bushel Potato Contest, Mr. A. M. Blackie had a
measured yield of 334 bushels per acre.
Individual farmers were assisted on dairy farm accounts, milk mar-
keting, and rotation pastures.
Meetings held for Chelmsford fruit growers included an exhibit of
apple scab by Doctor Boyd of the Massachusetts State College, and two
mouse control demonstrations by the Biological Survey.
A farm meeting on market garden pests was held in July at the A.
M. Blackie farm.
Specialists from the State College visited Chelmsford farms to ad-
vise on fruit growing, market garden problems, and storage construc-
tion. Timely information on pest control of fruits and vegetables was
sent to all Chelmsford farmers from the Extension Service office.
Two groups of homemakers were enrolled in the Food Buying pro-
ject and the Coat project. Representatives from, these groups parti-
cipated in the planning meetings held in the late Fall on the Conserva-
tion of the Home program. A large number of women received the
monthly Mothers' Service letters.
4-H Club work for the year was carried on under the chairman-
ship of Perley Kimball and the following committee members : Mrs.
Edward Fox, Mrs. Albert Riney, Mrs. Edward Norton, Mrs. Ernest
Ferron, Mrs. Joshua Machon, Harry Hilyard, and Ralph E. House. The
boys and girls were quite evenly enrolled in the clubs with forty-six girls
101
and forty-nine boys participating in the clothing, food, home furnish-
ing, craft, handicraft, garden and poultry clubs.
Ten clubs had most excellent exhibits at a program held in the Town
Hall. At this time pins were awarded to club members who had com-
pleted their projects.
Poultry club boys, members of Teddy Zaberick's club, put on a
demonstration at the Boston Poultry Show in January.
Chelmsford clubs were well represented at the mid-year 4-H Rally
held in Lowell.
Peter McHugh, Stewart Bickford, Stephen, George and James Giras,
Robert Riley, Stanley Winters, Robert Whitton, Dorothy Stewart and
Edward Parlee won prizes in the Middlesex North Agricultural Society
Contest.

INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS REPORT
Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my twenty-third annual report of the work done
by this department during the year 1937 under the direction of the Di-
vision of Livestock Disease Control, State Department of Agriculture.
The annual inspection of cattle, sheep, and swine was ordered during
the latter part of the year and is now completed and a detailed report
has been sent to the above Department.
There are 191 stables, 9 less than last year, in which are kept 771
dairy cows, 162 young cattle and 24 bulls a total of 957 head which is 14
less than last year. There is a decrease of 25 dairy cows an increase of
10 young cattle and one bull.
There are also 26 sheep, 27 goats and 711 swine.
Cattle and swine are distributed in the various precincts as follows :
Precinct 12 3 4 5 6 Total
Cows 401 125 25 75 116 29 771
Young cattle 85 34 3 14 18 8 162
Swine 296 90 6 222 27 70 711
All cattle in town are regularly tested by State and Federal in-
spectors. Three cows in two different stables reacted to the test for
tuberculosis, they were slaughtered and the stables were thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected. ,
There were 78 cows and one bull shipped into town from outside the
State upon 33 permits issued by the State authorities, all were' identified
by description and tag numbers and released upon proof of satisfactory
test charts and certificates showing that they came from accredited herds
free from tuberculosis and also free from Bangs disease during the year
previous to entry into this State.
One rabid dog came into town from a border town and killed a
dog and a pig and then savagely attacked a man, this man and one other
received the Pasteur treatment.
Thirteen dogs were quarantined as possible contact cases with this
dog, none of these dogs developed rabies with the possible exception of
one which escaped and was never seen again.
103
Thirty-five dog bite cases were reported and the dogs were re-
strained for a period of observation but as no rabies developed all were
released.
The heads of three dogs were taken to Boston for examination and
only one was a positive case of rabies.
Persons desiring to ship cattle into town from outside this state
should procure a permit to accompany the shipment and upon arrival
should notify the Inspector of Animals.
ARNOLD C. PERHAM,
Inspector of Animals.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
OF CHELMSFORD
Year Ending December 31, 1937
Citizens of the Town of Chelmsford :
The following is a report of the work done by this Board during the
past year, with comment as to the reports of the various departments of
this Board, namely, the Agent of the Board of Health, Plumbing In-
spector, Inspector of Milk and Inspector of Meat and Slaughtering.
We feel that these branches function most efficiently, and ask the
earnest co-operation of every citizen, property owner and householder
in maintaining the high standard of Health in this community which
exists today and which is the result of the untiring service of the exe-
cutives of these departments.
In reading the report of our Agent, Mrs. Mae Lewis, kindly note the
fact that Chelmsford rates second among Massachusetts towns in Dental
Work Survey for perfect teeth for the year 1936. This enviable record
is due to the unceasing vigilence of Mrs. Lewis and the capable work
of Dr. Bernard Ritter, school dentist for the town.
To the Parent-Teacher Association through whose generous finan-
cial assistance much of the dental work is made possible, this Board
is deeply grateful.
One other matter which calls for consideration by parents of pre-
school age children is the matter of the free clinics conducted for the
prevention of communicable diseases. It is the earnest desire of this
Board that parents avail themselves of the services of this clinic. They
are held each spring for immunization against diphtheria, the announce-
ment of the time and place is m,ade in the local newspapers a clinic is
held for all schools and free transportation is provided for those de-
siring it.
Due to the increase of communicable diseases, we particularly stress
the importance of taking advantage of this service. Our appropriation
for "Aid," which is applicable to those afflicted with communicable
disease has been greatly exceeded by demands for assistance. This is a
matter over which this Board has no control. However, it would seem
that preventative measures would lessen these demands.
To our Health Physicians, Dr. Arthur G. Scroborie and Dr. George
E. Carriel, who have served the citizens of this community most effi-
105
ciently and generously, we are deeply grateful. Their work among the
school children and in the various clinics is invaluable.
Before closing our report, the Board wishes to call your attention
to a few pertinent rules taken from the Regulations of the Board of
Health, and urge that every individual take upon himself the responsi-
bility of observing these regulations.
By so doing, much money, time and civic pride will be saved the
taxpayers of Chelmsford.
We quote in part, as follows from the Regulations of the Board of
Health :
"No person shalll allow any sink or waste water to be turned into
or upon any street, lane, gutter or sidewalk of the Town. Brooks, open
drains, sluiceways upon premises within certain defined limits in the
Town shall be kept free from such obstructions as permit the accumula-
tion of stagnant water.
"No person shall deposit any tin cans or rubbish of any discription
in any place within the Town, other than in a public dumping ground,
or on premises owned or occupied by him, without a permit from the
Board of Health.
"No person shall suffer any waste or stagnant water which is likely
to become a nuisance, or offensive or dangerous to public health or re-
main in any cellar or on any lot of land owned by him.
"No person shall deposit the contents of any cesspool or privy vault
upon the surface of the ground unless the same is plowed under or
otherwise covered within twenty-four hours.
"No person shall remove the contents of any cesspool, privy vault or
drain from any premises between certain dates if desired without a per-
mit from the Board of Health.
The Board is continuously being called for nuisance caused by im-
proper sewage disposal. For the protection of our citizens and for the
good of public health in our several communities the Board has adopted
"Rules and regulations" for the proper disposal of house sewage. Per-
mits are issued for installations of this nature and the Regulations may
be obtained from the Town Accountant who is the clerk of the Board
of Health. The authority vested in us is taken from Section 3
of the "Rules and Regulations for Plumbing," adopted by the Town
and the Board of Health in the year 1930.
"Section 3, the last sentence reads as follows : If a sewer is not
available, the sewage shall be discharged into cesspool or septic tank and
106
cesspool or subsurface distribution system, THE PLANS OF WHICH
MUST BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF HEALTH BEFORE
CONNECTIONS IS MADE."
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES KIBERD, Jr., Chairman.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH AGENT
Mr. James Kiberd
Chairman of Board of Health
Dear Sir :
The following is a report for the year ending December, 1937 :
As always, your agent endeavors to give the best in Public Health
service, which includes nursing advice for control of communicable
diseases of school and pre-school children. We try very hard to en-
force quarantine, but it is sometimes difficult to check disease when
parents will not co-operate by having a doctor diagnose an illness. On
the day after school opened, two children were found to be in the
disquamation period of Scarlet Fever ! When contagion is reported
by the doctor every child in the school to which the patient belongs
is examined once a week for several weeks.
As is the custom, free clinics were held in early spring for im-
munization against Diphtheria. Parents must realize more than ever
the need of such treatment, for only recently three deaths resulted
from not taking advantage of the opportunity to escape this dread
disease. Announcement of time and place of clinics is made in local
newspapers, and in all the schools ; free transportation is provided by
buses.
With parents' permission immunization is carried out as follows :
Diphtheria toxoid is given to children over six months and under
twelve years of age; the older ones receive toxin anti-toxin. The
former group does not require the Schick test, nevertheless plans are
being made to give it to every child in early spring to determine
whether immunity prevails. In spite of the extra work entailed, we
think it is worthwhile, for our aim is to OBLITERATE DIPHTHERIA.
I cannot urge parents too strongly to help us protect their children's
107
health. In October, 1937, toxoid was given to 189 children; toxin anti-
toxin, to 9; 7 were reimunized.
Dr. Martin, the County school clinic doctor, was here in October
to give the tuberculin test to the high school students and to contact
children whose parents are either confined to a sanitorium or home.
Fifty-four calls were made by your agent to obtain parents' consent to
have the test made.
The report is as follows :
Children Tuberculin Tested :
School population — High school 466
Children tested for first time 222
Children previously tested 44 266
% Tested 59.6
Children reacting to test :
New Group 96
Previously tested group 37 133
% Reacting 50.0
Children X-Rayed:
Children X-Rayed for first time 95
Re-X-Ray Group 11 106
Children recommended for Examination 16
Children Examined 15
Observation cases 10
Negative cases (discharge) 6 16
X-Ray is given in the McFarlin Gym, but your agent made several
trips to Waltham with pupils who were absent. Several children mostly
underweights who have been examined by the State in previous years,
are carried over for further examination. The children are given exam-
ination by a State doctor and are discharged with instructions in regards
to rest and diet, providing they are up to standard.
Following is a list of contagious diseases reported by physicians :
Scarlet Fever 15
German Measles 0
Measles 3
Pulmonary Tuberculosis 8
Chicken Pox 3
Lobar Pneumonia 4
108
Mumps 6
Diphtheria 3
Whooping Cough 31
Dogbite 9
Home visits — nursing instruction 286
Sanitary visits 62
Investigations 84
Pre-natal instructions 18
Several trips were made by your agent to Middlesex Sanitorium,
North Reading, Tewksbury, and G. U. Clinics.
For the eighth consecutive year Dr. Ritter has continued his ex-
cellent service as school dentist ; he is in some school every Wednes-
day from 9 until 3 during the entire school year. It is with his help
and contributions from various Parent-Teacher Associations that
Chelmsford is second among Massachusetts towns with a record of 93%
of its children having perfect teeth.
Following is a report of dental work :
Examined by dentist 1144

Teeth treated 386

Your agent is at present taking a course in Public Health Nursing
given by Prof. Brase. I take every opportunity to attend whatever
evening lectures possible. Dr. Archibald, the State Health Officer and
Miss Martin, State Consultant were here many times.
I wish sincerely to thank the Board of Health and all others for
their fine co-operation throughout the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
MAE S. LEWIS, R. N.
Agent.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Chelmsford:
We herewith submit the report of the School Committee for the
year 1937.
May we again call your attention to conditions in the High School.
This is an old story and has been mentioned in the report of every Com-
mittee since 1928, when the enrollment was 200. This figure has been in-
creased every year, and on Oct. 1, 1937 we had an enrollment of 445
pupils.
The Senior Class going out in June 1938 has 83 members. The
Eighth grade pupils who will graduate in June and thus become eligible
to enter High School, number 156.
If the parents of these 156 boys and girls decide to send them to
High School, the enrollment at the opening of school in September will
be 518.
On the other hand, if only two-thirds of this number enter we will
have 466 students to care for.
Under these conditions the faculty is badly handicapped, not only
in teaching but in trying to safeguard the health of your children. We
are using rooms in the McFarlin School for High School work, and the
changing between buildings for classes involves difficulties for the teach-
ers and pupils concerned.
Your Committee commends the teachers of the High School for
their loyalty and willingness to help in the problems we have had to face.
This is a plain statement of facts given for the serious consideration
of the Citizens of Chelmsford.
FINANCES
The annual school reports for the past several years have included
statements which showed in detail the manner in which the school ap-
propriation is expended each year. It has been the effort of this com-
mittee, and committees which have preceded it, to keep the school bud-
get within the means of the inhabitants of the town.
Our school costs in Chelmsford are very low. There are eighty-
two Massachusetts towns of over 5000 population maintaining high
schools. Only two of these towns run their school departments at a less
cost per pupil than Chelmsford does. The cost in the remaining towns
is higher than in Chelmsford, in some cases being more than double the
amount spent here. The annual school budget of Chelmsford accounts
for less than $12.00 of the tax rate.
The bonds on all school buildings, except the McFarlin School, are
completely paid off; the last payment on the McFarlin School bonds
will be made in 1940.
These facts are stated here briefly in order to remind you that your
school costs are low and have been low for many years. If the Town
could afford greater expenditures for schools, it would probably be wise
to make them, but we feel that present industrial and financial condi-
tions require us to keep school costs down where they are.
TRANSPORTATION
We are at present transporting 619 pupils to and from the various
school buildings each day throughout the school year.
The contract between the Town of Chelmsford and George W. Mar-
inel of North Chelmsford runs out in June, 1938, a new contract will be
drawn up and bids called for, the details of which will be worked out at
that time.
The service given by Mr. Marinel has been very satisfactory, he
having cheerfully co-operated with the Committee at all times.
The teachers in the elementary schools are to be commended for
the loyalty and attention to detail displayed by them in the training of
the children entrusted to their care.
The Committee also thanks the teachers and Principals for the ex-
tra work performed over and above actual requirements.
The Janitor service for 1937 has been excellent, the money saved the
town by these men in the way of repairs amounts to a considerable sum
in the course of a year.
Edward Fallon, Janitor at the Highland Ave. School resigned from
service this year. Mr. Fallon was appointed Janitor when the school
was built and has given many years of good faithful service. We wish
our friend years of happiness and contentment in his retirement.
The work of the Parent-Teacher Associations in Chelmsford during
the past year has been very helpful and the School Committee wishes
them success in their efforts for the betterment of our School system
during 1938.
We recommend that the Citizens read carefully the report of the
Superintendent of Schools, in which will be found information of value.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
To the School Committee :
My tenth annual report is hereby submitted through you to the cit-
izens of Chelmsford.
FINANCIAL
The reports of 1930 and 1934 analyzed in detail school costs in
Chelmsford, and compared them, item by item, with costs in other towns.
Since these change little from year to year such a study is not given in
this report. The report of the Town Accountant shows how the ex-
penditure in 1937 of $102,813.64 was distributed in salaries, fuel, repairs,
transportation," etc. The Town received the following sums in 1937, paid
directly into the treasury, which should be deducted from the total ex-
penditure to find the net cost of the schools to taxpayers.
The largest item was $16,040, received as a credit from the State
Part 1, Chapter 70, General Laws, provides for reimbursement from the
income tax for salaries paid teachers. The rate of reimbursement de-
pends on several factors, such as training and length of experience of
the teacher and salary received, the average membership of the schools,
and a figure furnished by the State as indicating the proportionate
amount of the state tax paid by the town. The aim of the law is to aid
the less wealthy towns by giving them a larger part of the proceeds of
the income tax.
The State paid tuition for 72 state wards amounting to $3,111.90,
and tuition paid by (or due from) towns amounted to $524.80.
A total of $30.00 was received for sales by the School Department.
Deducting from these receipts on school account the cost of the
schools raised by local taxes was as shown below :
Total Expenditure by School Committee $102,213.64
Receipts and Credits
Reimbursement for salaries $16,040.00
Tuition of state wards 3,111.90
Tuition from towns 524.80
Sales 30.00
Total receipts on school account 19,706.70
Net cost from local taxation $83,106.94
8
To raise this amount a tax of $12.83 was required on the valuation
of 1937. That is, the net cost of the schools in 1937 represented $12.83
out of the total tax rate of $30.70.
The Annual Report of the Department of Education for 1937, Part
II, gives full details concerning school enrollment, tax rate, expendi-
ture, number of teachers, etc. for each of the 355 cities and towns of the
Commonwealth. These are divided into four groups, cities in group I,
towns over 5000 population in group II, towns under 5000 and maintain-
ing high schools in group III, and the remaining small towns in group
IV. Costs are given on a unit basis, the cost per pupil, which is the only
way in which a fair comparison can be made.
Chelmsford is the 58th in population of the 83 towns in group II,
which is headed by Brookline with 47,490 and ends with Easton, 52(H
Chelmsford had 7,022. (Census of 1930.)
In wealth per pupil, valuation of 1936, Chelmsford is 75th with $4,379.
Brookline leads with $25,564 for each pupil, the average in the 83 towns
is $8,306, and the lowest is $2,918.
In total town tax rate (1936) Chelmsford is 46th with $33.80. The
highest was $53.40 and the lowest, Somerset, was $21.50.
In the total expenditure per pupil for the year ending Dec. 31, 1936,
Chelmsford was 81st of the 83 towns with $65.57. Brookline expended
the largest amount,, $149.62 for each child in school, and the lowest was
$63.15. In the other two groups of towns there were six which expended
less than Chelmsford. All the cities wrere higher.
In expenditure from local taxation, after receipts from the State and
other sources were deducted from the total expenditures, Chelmsford
was 25th in 1936, with a rate of $11.97. The highest was $18.62, and
Brookline, the lowest, required only $5.46.
Put in another way, Chelmsford has less wealth for each child in
school than most towns in her clcass, 74 of the 83 having more ; the total
tax rate is near the medium, 45 towns having a higher rate and 37 low-
er; 80 towns expend more per pupil than Chelmsford and only two ex-
pend less ; 24 towns need a higher tax rate for the cost which is borne
locally, and 58 require less.
The low cost per pupil in Chelmsford is due largely to these fac-
tors : salaries below the average, a ratio of number of pupils to the to-
tal number of principals, teachers, and supervisors that is higher than
the average (31 pupils to a teacher in Chelmsford, very few towns hav-
ing so high a ratio) ; and the absence of special departments such as
drawing, physical education, household arts, etc.
Tuition to Lowell Vocational School for 1937 amounted to $3,014.27,
and the rebate from the State was $1,492.37.
TEACHERS
The report of last year noted the retirement of Miss Bertha H.
Long, after a service of forty years in the schools at West Chelmsford.
This year another faithful and honored teacher of long service has given
up active work in the classroom. After teaching primary grades in West
Chelmsford and in Dunstable for several years, Miss Ella A. Hutchinson
in 1905 began her service to the children of North Chelmsford in the
Princeton St. School, and became Principal of the school in November,
1933. During these years, both by her classroom teaching and by her
life in the community, she has been a powerful agent in molding the
lives and characters of hundreds of pupils. Her influence will persist
long after these years of faithful service. Her colleagues, her former
pupils, and the community at large wish for her many happy years.
In the High School Miss Catherine Coughlan, and in the McFarlin
Miss Myrtle Greene and Miss Clara Dexter resigned in June, as they
were to be married, and in November Miss Charlotte Hyde, music su-
pervisor, resigned for the same reason.
On Miss Long's retirement, Miss Isabell M. Doyle was transferred
from Princeton St. to the Quessy School, and Miss Rita Ryan of North
Chelmsford was engaged as substitute teacher for the Princeton St. 8th
grade. In September Miss Ryan was transferred to the vacant position
in the High School. She is a graduate of Emmanuel College in 1936.
At Princeton St. Miss Genevieve E. Jantzen, a teacher in the same
school since 1911, was made Principal. Mrs. Reid was transferred from
6th grade to 7th, Miss Hutchinson's grade, and Miss Roberta Small from
South Chelmsford to the 6th grade. For the 8th grade position Miss
Sally T. Conlon of Lowell was engaged. She had had two years ex-
perience in the Greek Parochial School, and had served several weeks
as substitute in our upper grades.
For the two positions in the McFarlin School Miss Muriel Bridges
and Miss Edna Hoyt were engaged, and for the South Chelmsford pos-
ition Miss Nora Miskell. These young ladies are residents of Chelms-
ford and all are graduates, with degrees, of Lowell Teachers College.
Miss Hoyt had one year of experience in Vermont and one year in Sut-
ton, Mass., and Miss Bridges had one year in Vermont.
For the music supervisorship Miss M. Marion Adams of Chelmsford
was engaged to begin work in January. She formerly held this position
in the schools, and for the last ten years has served as music teacher in
Townsend and Ashby, and for five years in Tewksbury.

ENROLLMENT
A table at the end of this report shows the enrollment by buildings
and by grades on October 1, 1937, and also total enrollment for the last
ten years. As is the case generally with towns and cities which are not
growing in population, the enrollment in the primary grades has fallen
off. From an elementary enrollment of 1265 in 1933 the number dropped
to 1158 in 1937, but the enrollment in the High School reached a new
high point, 445. With one exception the present 8th grade of 156 is the
largest recorded; in 1934 that grade had 162. We may expect an in-
crease in the High School for at least one more year. Whether the
elementary enrollment will again increase probably depends on the num-
ber of new families which may enter the town. The Westlands offered
the most serious problem in seating pupils this year. The 7th and 8th
grade room could not possibly accomodate all who were entitled to at -
tend that school. Five pupils volunteered to go a greater distance to
the McFarlin school, which relieved the situation for the time being
There is considerable home building in the Westlands, which indicates
that a permanent solution has not been found.
The Quessy School has been small for several years, while the en-
rollment at McFarlin has steadily increased. By changing transporta-
tion routes about 25 pupils could be shifted to the Quessy School. This
would be done by requiring pupils living on Smith St., Parkhurst Road.
Davis Road, and beyond, who now are transported to the Center, to
take busses which would leave them at the Quessy School. I recommend
that you give this matter early consideration, and that if any change be
made it become effective in September.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The report of 1936 gave a brief description, with dates of construc-
tion, of the buildings now in use. Advantage has been taken of Federal
work relief agencies in securing certain repairs to all the buildings ex-
cept the High School and the McFarlin. These repairs have, included
carpenter work, painting, and cement work, but have not included any
work on the heating systems or in plumbing. The reports from 1933 to
1936 indicate what was done in each building. In 1937 no work was done
inside the buildings under Federal grants.
By special appropriation in 1929 the Old Building at Princeton St.
was given modern, sanitary toilets. In 1935 PWA labor was used in re-
modeling the basement of the New Building, providing two new, well-
lighted rooms for toilets. Out of the regular appropriation that year
new toilet fixtures were installed. One building is left which needs sim-
ilar attention, Highland Ave. The toilet fixtures are in poor condition,
they have been in use over 25 years, and are of a type which cannot now
11
be matched for repair parts. If WPA labor should be available next
summer for work in that building, it would be advisable to make changes
in tb'. boiler room in the interests of convenience and safety, in addition
to renovating the toilet rooms.
SCHOOL GROUNDS
The WPA project back of the Westlands School has been completed
this year. The lot back of this building was of no use till 1929, when a
special appropriation was used for grubbing up the bushes, plowing,
smoothing and seeding. The seeding was a failure, owing to the poor
soil. At that time the ground in front of the building was covered with
the coarse gravel that had been used for filling. One of the first Fed-
ral school projects was to remove the stones, spread a layer of loam,
and seed these grounds. This project was favored by a wet summer, the
grass made a good start, and a good lawn has resulted. The last project
was confined to the grounds in the rear of the building. The area was
leveled, a standard baseball diamond laid out and built, and the field
seeded. The Parent-Teacher Association furnished material for bleach-
ers, and had previously provided a volley ball court and a tennis court.
The school deportment paid the wages of the driver of a town truck,
amounting to $217.80. This part of the town now has a good athletic
field for the use both of the school and of the community. The Town
should make adequate provision for its continued maintenance.
The two and one-half acre field adjacent to the school at East
Chelmsford has been of very little use because of the uneven surface
and many boulders. This field is now being leveled as a WPA project,
and it is planned to provide a standard baseball diamond.
It is not possible to make use of WPA labor on the land back of the
Highland Ave. and the Quessy schools, since these fields are privately
owned.
Work was done on the school grounds at the Center three years
ago, consisting of leveling the field and removing a sand bank to make
the field longer. If a Federal project is desired for another season there
is opportunity here for a comprehensive development which would ben-
efit the entire town by improving the facilities of the school which is at-
tended by all the older pupils. Such a project might include :
1. Providing an adequate sewage disposal system for the two schools
Previous reports have emphasized this need in pointing out the cost of
maintaining the present unsatisfactory systems. No trouble was exper-
ienced in 1937, but at any time, without warning, sewage may again bark
up into the McFarlin School, or break out on the surface back of either
school.
2. Fencing the grounds. The lack of a fence, especially along Lowell
Road, is a constant source of danger to the children at play. This is
probably the most dangerous playground.
12
3. Rebuilding and hard-surfacing the tennis courts. These were
originally provided, I understand, by the V. I. A. They have not received
care for years and are useless in their present condition.
4. Building a standard baseball diamond and back-stop.
5. Providing a field house for athletic teams, which would obviate
present very unsatisfactory conditions in the McFarlin School.
TRANSPORTATION
On October 1, 1937, a total of 619 pupils were being carried to and
from school, 297 to the High School, 157 to McFarlin, 70 to Princeton
St., 60 to Quessy, and 35 to South. The average number carried for the
last five years is 608. This is the last year of the third three-year con-
tract which the Town has had with George W. Marinel. His service
during these nine years has been extremely satisfactory. The systm
used is the so-called multiple-trip, which has the advantage of being less
expensive than a system under which each section of the town would
have its own bus, and the disadvantage of bringing pupils to the schools
in some instances long before the hour when school work begins. At
the present time one bus leaves West Chelmsford at the Post Office
at 7.25 A. M. and takes a load of students from West and North to the
High School; then goes down Boston Road and back to McFarlin; then
over Littleton Road and Garrison Road to South Chelmsford, to the
High Schol ; then back to North Chelmsford over Groton Road to near
the Westford line and to the Quessy School ; then back over Groton
Road to Princeton St. at 8.55. It has carried five loads.
Another bus leaves North Chelmsford at 7.15, picks up students on
Tyngsboro and Dunstable roads, and goes to High School ; then over
Turnpike, Mill Road and Billerica Road to High School; then over
Westford Road to Quessy; then over Old Westford Road and North
Road to High School at 8.25. It has carried four loads.
A third bus leaves North Chelmsford at 7.30 for the High School ;
then goes to East Chelmsford and back to High School ; then goes
about a mile over Billerica Road and back to High School ; then over
Carlisle and Proctor roads to South Chelmsford; then to High School
at 8.20. It has carried four loads besides relieving an over-crowded bus
on Billerica Road.
A fourth bus leaves Princeton St. School at 7.30 for the High
School; then goes to East Chelmsford and back to High School; then to
North Chelmsford and back to High School ; then over Dunstable and
Tyngsboro roads to Princeton St. at 8.50. It has carried four loads.
13
A fifth bus is held in reserve in case any of the regular ones is dis-
abled or unduly delayed. Generally the busses run very close to the
scheduled time when the roads are dry; in bad weather they run be-
hind.
Since the present contract expires in June, a careful study should
be made of the present routes, the probable school enrollment in each
building next September, and possible changes for the improvement of
the system.
1 call attention to the reports of the Principal of the High School
and of the School Nurse.
Mr. Burns quotes ten principles drawn up by the National Associa
tion for guidance in planning courses and administering high schools
These are worded in professional terms, hard for the layman to under-
stand. In effect, they mean that education in high school should aim
at the harmonious and continuous development of the personality of
each individual student, fitting him for a useful place in society, which
will be within the scope of his powers and which will satisfy his ambi-
tions. To this end there should be an offering of many different kinds,
so that so far as possible each student may find work which will appeal
strongly to his interests and which he will gladly pursue with enthusiasm
through school and beyond. When the school can no longer hold his
interest he is better off somewhere else, either in another type of school
or at work.
Applying these principles to Chelmsford High School, we find we
have but few courses, consisting almost wholly of languages, mathe-
matics, natural science, and history. We are not meeting the needs of
young men and women who are hand-minded, rather than book-minded.
For many students a shop, a household arts laboratory, or a practical
project outside the school building is more vitally necessary than ordin-
ary classrooms. These needs cannot be met till the voters of Chelms-
ford provide more adequate quarters and facilities.
Lowell Teachers College continues to use some of our classrooms
for the training of cadet teachers. Three or four students in the 3d
year of their course work for periods of twelve weeks with teachers
who are selected for that purpose by the College. They have the benefit
of observation in the classroom and practice under a successful teach-
er, and the teacher gets considerable help from them, especially during
the last part of their three months training period.
Our schools are truly a community enterprise. Outside those who
are employed by the Town many citizens are rendering service to our
14
boys and girls, through the Parent-Teacher Association, the Boy and
Girl Scouts, the Four-H Clubs, and other groups. To all these, and es-
pecially to you, the members of the School Committee, I express ap-
preciation in behalf of the teachers and school pupils of Chelmsford.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE S. WRIGHT.

REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
January 17, 1938.
Mr. George S. Wright
Superintendent of Schools
Chelmsford, Massachusetts
My dear Mr. Wright :
In this, my eighth annual report as principal of Chelmsford High
School, I hope to tell, besides the usual statistics, of some of the trends
in secondary education.
There were 216 boys and 216 girls enrolled September 8, 1937. On
January 3, there were 223 boys and 214 girls. The total enrollment for
the present school year up to January 1 is 454. This is eight more than
were enrolled January 1, 1937.
The commercial enrollment continues to increase. Because of this
fact it is more and more difficult to satisfy the requests of pupils, en-
rolled in the other curriculums, to elect typewriting and stenography.
It has seemed wise by the school authorities to require each pupil to
meet the requirements of one of the three curriculums, this we have
tried to follow. Pupils may elect into other curriculums, after they have
met the requirements of the one curriculum chosen, if there is room,
and if they can do so without conflicting with the required courses. This
regulation, although not perfect, was made because of the physical im-
possibility of doing otherwise.
May I emphasize, again this year, that each member of the faculty
stays for at least two afternoon sessions (2.30 to 3.45) each week to help
pupils who, for any reason, need extra assistance in their work. This
is not a punishment but rather an opportunity for those pupils, by extra
effort and help, to complete their work satisfactorily. Many pupils take
advantage of this privilege. More should do so.
We belong to the Massachusetts High School Athletic Association
and are governed by its rules and regulations in all athletic contests. It
is our policy to play only those schools which are governed by the same
regulations-
Through athletics we aim to "train in citizenship" those pupils who
are physically able and wish to participate.
16
While we like to win (and do win our share of the games in which
we play,) we emphasize good sportsmanship at all times to be of great-
er importance in all contests. We believe the health and safety of our
boys and girls to be of the first importance whether on the playground
or in the classroom. This is our duty and we try to do it regardless of
any temporary personal disfavor that we may incur because of it
Following are the functions of secondary education as given in a
Report of the Committee on Orientation of the Department of Second-
ary School Principals of the National Education Association. The
"Functions of Secondary Education" is Bulletin 64, January, 1937.
1. To continue by a definite program, though in a diminishing de-
gree, the integration of students. This should be on an increasing-
ly intellectual level until the desired common knowledge, appreci-
ations, ideals, attitudes, and practices are firmly fixed.
2. To satisfy the important, immediate, and probable future need?
of the students insofar as the maturity of the learner permits, guid-
ing the behavior of youth in the light of increasingly remote, but
always clearly perceived and appreciated, social and personal values.
3. To reveal higher activities of an increasingly differential type in
the major fields of the racial heritage of experience and culture,
their significant values for social living, the problems in them of
contemporary life, the privileges and duties of each person as an in-
dividual and as a member of social groups ; to make these fields sat-
isfying and desired by those gifted for successful achievement and
to give information as to requirements for success in these fields and
information as to where further training may be secured.
4. To explore higher and increasingly specialized interests, aptitudes,
and capacities of students, looking toward the direction of them into
avenues of study and of work for which they have manifested
peculiar fitness.
5. To systematize knowledge previously acquired or being acquired
in course in such ways as to show the significance both of this
knowledge and especially of the laws and principles, with under-
standing of wider ranges of application than would otherwise be
perceived.
6. To establish and to develop interests in the major fields of human
activity as means to happiness, to social progress, and to continued
growth.
7. To guide pupils, on the basis of exploratory and revealing courses
and of other information gathered from personnel studies, as wisely
17
as possible into wholesome and worthwhile social relationships, max-
imum personality adjustment, and advanced study or vocations in
which they are most likely to be successful and happy.
8. To use in all courses as largely as possible methods that demand
independent thought, involve the elementary principles of research,
and provide intelligent and somewhat self-directed practice, in-
dividual and cooperative, in the appropriate desirable activities of
the educated person.
9. To begin and gradually to increase differentiated education on the
evidence of capacities, aptitudes, and interests demonstrated in earli-
er years. Care must be taken to provide previous to and along with
differentiation as balanced and extended a general education as is
possible and profitable.
10. To retain each student until the law of diminishing returns be-
gins to operate, or until he is ready for more independent study in a
higher institution ; and when it is manifest that he cannot or will not
materially profit from further study of what can be offered, to elim-
inate him promptly, if possible directing him into some other school
or into work for which he seems most fit.
A few parents have visited the school in the interests of their chil
dren. It seems to me that these pupils are benefited by these visits. It
is a pleasure to us here to have you visit school and see for yourselves
what we are trying to do for your boys and girls.

Assisted by the nurse the school physician, Dr. Arthur Scoboria and
Dr. George Carriel completed the physical examinations of high school
and grammar school pupils in November. Candidates for athletic teams
were given thorough examinations before the sport season opened. All
pupils have been weighed and measured, underweights checked, and milk
suggested or given to those not able to pay for it.

For the eighth consecutive year Dr. Ritter has continued his excel-
lent service as school dentist ; he is in some school every Wednesday
from 9 until 3 during the entire school year. It is with his help and con-
tributions from various Parent-Teacher Associations that Chelmsford is
rated second among Massachusetts towns with a record of 93% of its
children having all the work that necessarily had to be done at that
time.
As is customary, free clinics were held in the spring for immuniza-
tion against Diphtheria. Parents must realize more than ever the need
of such treatment, for only recently three deaths resulted from not tak-
ing advantage of the opportunity to escape this dread disease. An-
nouncement of time and place of clinics is made in local newspapers
and in all schools ; free transportation is provided by buses.
With parents' permission, immunization is carried out as follows :
Diphtheria toxoid is given to children over six months and under twelve
years of age ; the older ones receive toxin anti-toxin. The formr group
does not require the Schick test, nevertheless plans are being made to
give it to every child in early spring to determine whether immunity pre-
vails. In spite of the extra work entailed, we think it is worthwhile,
for our aim is to obliterate Diphtheria. I cannot urge parents too strong-
ly to help us protect their children's health. In October, 1937 toxoid
was given to 189 children; toxin anti-toxin, to 9; 7 were reimmunized.

Dr Martin, the County school clinic doctor, was here in October to
give the tuberculin test to the high school students and to contact pupils
whose parents are either confined to a sanitorium or home. Fifty-four
calls were made by your nurse to obtain parents' consent to have the
test made.
The report is as follows :
Children Tuberculin Tested :
School population — High 466
Children tested for first time 222
Children previously tested 44 266
% tested 59.6
Children reacting to test :

Negative cases (discharged) 6 16
X-Ray is given in the McFarlin Gym., but your nurse made sev-
eral trips to Waltham with pupils who were absent. Several children,
mostly underweights who have been examined by the State in previous
years, are carried over for further examination. These were given
examination by a State doctor and were discharged with instructions in
regards to rest and diet, provided they were up to standard.
As always the pre-school clinic in May was well attended. This clinic
gives the parents time to correct defects found, before the child enters
school in the fall.
Few people realize that a nurse is not allowed to diagnose a case-
diagnosis must come from a physician. If a parent sees that a child has
a cold he or she should keep the pupil home and in bed, calling the
physician if no improvement is seen within a day or two. So many
diseases start with "just a simple cold," while not only the ill child but
24
all others with whom he is in contact are in danger of becoming sick.
The family physician must give the child a certificate to return to
school after an absence of more than five days. Children with con-
tagious diseases are excluded from school immediately, being advised
to consult a physician. After diagnosis the house is carded; instruction
given about care of the patient, and fumigation of books is carried on.
In severe cases, books are destroyed. Children exposed to contagion
are excluded from school for at least seven days and must continue to
live away from home if they wish to return after being examined by the
family physician. The school doctors immediately examine all pupils
in a room where a contagion disease has been found, and exclude any
child about whom there is a question.
I am at present taking a course in Public Health Nursing given by
Prof. Brase ; I take every opportunity to attend whatever evening lec-
tures possible. Dr. Archibald, State Health Officer, Miss Martin, State
Consultant, and Dr. Wellington, doctor of mental diseases, were here
several times.
I wish to thank the School Committee, School Physicians, Parents,
Teachers, Parent-Teacher Associations, and you, Mr. Wright, for such
wonderful co-operation and support during the school year.
Respectfully submitted,
MAE S. LEWIS, R. N.,
School Nurse.
