ANNUAL REPORT OF
 NORWICH SCHOOL NURSE

It is the duty of every mother, as well as the duty of everyone interested in the welfare, of children of our town and of the country to do their utmost to bring health and happiness to every child in our community, says Miss Charlotte M Albertine R. N, school nurse, in her annual report to Superin- tendent of Schools Edward T Graham.
 Miss Albertines report, which has been made a part of the printed report of the schools of the town of Norwich, is as follows:
 Most people are now familiar with tht regular routine employed in conduct ing daily inspection of school children.
 Also with the special inspection tor for scarlet fever and diphtheria which are made under the direction of the health officers. Wherever an outbreak occurred children have recieved almost constant health supervision of nurse during the danger period. Consequently no class room has been closed longer than time requirNd to clean thoroughly. On many occasions parents have express ed f.eir gratitude for this special super vision.
 February 2nd, 1920, the nurse secured through the local Red Cross Chapter be- gan work in thier public schoo.s. This help came at a time of the year when there was a great deal of sickness among school children and was thoroughly ap- preciated.
 The vast assistance which this Red Cross nurse rendered may be seen from the many ways in which the work has been extended during tn latter half of the school year.
 The weighting and measuring of schoo 1 children is today very important part of the health program. In March the io- | cal Chapter of the Junior Red Gross i bought scales and place them in the schools and the weighing and measur- | ing began at once. In the remaining three months of the school years the greater number of the children. were weighed Much interest has been showr by all ages of children in the weighing contest. The weighing has been followed | by instruction in health habits, enpha sizing proper food, baths, fresh air, etc The children were eager to attain theil normal weight and many showed i'm provement at the end of the year. An ef fort will be made this year to weigh tn, children monthly.
 Children found to be very much unde
 weight were weighed weekly and en
 outraged to follow the practice of hy gienic living and eating, and wherever
 was possible for the child to do this i'm provement was Roted. Many childrel were found to be under weight and tn

Our government is a machine for the people and every part of which mifgles with perfect accord and the force behind the machine is the vote of the people.
 We live in a republic But what is a republic? A good definition of 'repub- lie is a representative democracy> What does this mean? For instance take the town meeting. here people vote directly but in the city government the power is by representation. The first is a democ- racy and the second representative dmeocracy.
 MT. Tirrell reviewed the history of government by representation from the early days until the present time. He said we could never have a pure democ- 1 facy as a pure democracy would near 1 every person voting.

 The petition also asks the court to give authority to discontinue operation of the road on Nov. 15, if it should be found by the receiver advisable to do so, at that time. As to this clause of the petition, Mr. Perkins said it did not necessarily imply that the road was to be discontinued on that date for he could not tell what would be done, but the effect of the granting of the applica- tion would be to put him in a position where he could take such action as re- eeiver of the road as the conditions might seep to require.
