brush, which everybody was at liberty
to use. There were Is mouth breathers
and 70 with tonsil affections There

lis with insufficient sleep, and 261 who

one lateral curvature of SPINE one
green stick fracture left arm, one in
fected finger. There were three ortho-
pedic and 227 pediculosis cases, and SO
Who had not taken a bath within a

The report on sanitary conditions in
general, ventilation and toilet, is good.
The physical education showed reports
on drills and playground space. Heat,
steam; color of wells, white; source of

The examinations in the outlying dis
tricts showed the pupils inspected
Brewster u, defective g. Hopeville "a,
defective IL; Tyler 10. defective 10
Boardman IL, defective g. Glasgo 81,
defective 42s Bethel g. defective 7 +; Pa
! chang II, defective IS; Woodward s.
defective 8. The Woodward district IS
the only district in Griswold that has a
| daily inspection by the teacher. OF
| these districts there was the most cases
| of defective vision in the Tyler district
4; one of hearing in the Brewster. Glas.
| go had 40 with bad teeth out of 81 ex-
| amined. woodward, out of g. There
| was a general shortage of persona
| tooth brushes. Bethel pupils have none
| Glasgo leads with IL family brushes
Other figures show more or less of dis
| eases of the tonsils, but all of a low pe1
| cent. A few had insufficient SIP witt
a large percentage sleeping in invent
| lated bedrooms. In all these district.
| there were neither contagious nor ski
diseases.
The bathing record was good, witt
| pediculosis showing in: Brewster 7
| Hopeville 10, Tyler 8, Boardman l
Glasgo 80, Bethel 0, Pachaug 8, Wood
| ward 2.
| All the schools had thermometers ex
| cept those where they had been recent
ly broken. All through these countr,
| districts the favorable reports were il
| the lead, as applied to sanitation an,
physical education. Without exceptio,
these schoolhouses are heated with ;
| small stove, and get their drinking wa
| ter from wells.
It is Superintendent r. H P. Ct.
ment's opinion that these carefully oh
| tanned statistics show the need of a per
| nanert school nurse for the schools q
Griswold.
The weather man never pulled Of
any more remarka bic stunt in the wa,

Below, where the branches had bee

wet down two feet, where the suddenl
rising sap had run out Of the new cut,
