Health Work In Schools The increased activities of the school department In an effort 10 bet ter the health Of the pupils are shown by the annual report of l.. s. Mills. as superintendent of schools. Portions of the report relating to this phase follow:
 "The nurse work in the school lldSt dS btibl'r b'tl illdit'liat'. through lack of time on the part of the district nurse. Though inso- far as Miss Clara Gallant has mad time, the duties Of nurse have been performed unusually well and in q sympathetic way and has won the confidence Of pupils and teachers. "Dr. Edward l.. Brennan. per vote Of the committee, took up the den tai work somewhat late in the school year with the following work done at school. Additional school dental work also has been done in his Of flee and at the same reduced rates:
 "Broad Street school-17 perma- nent extractions, 70 baby eXtrac- tons. 52 amalgam filings, 3 porcc- lain filings, 29 clcaninge.
 "I.inden Street school-14 perma- rent extractions. l50 baby extrac- tions, e amalgam filings, fl clean ings.
 High .chool-1 permanent ex- traction.
 "The dental work at Linden school was completed by the close of the school year. inastGr as the par cnts had given permission. At Broad street school the work was only lit tla over one half accomplished. by reason of lack of time on the part of the dentist. and the fact that ar arrangements were not complete for him 10 begin at the beginning of the school year. Tn all cases the par vnls have paid for the above work. and the town has paid but q few dol lars for dental supplies. The work, therefore, has been practically self supporting and advantageous to the parents, in that the rates have been but tr1e more than half the usual rates. This being the case it is 10 be sincerely regretted that ali parents whose children's teeth needed at tsntion have not taken advantage Of the opportunity. Previous to the be- ginning of dental clinics at Linden street school scarcely a day passed without several children crying with too'hache. The low rates have been possible because the dentist specializes in dental work with chil- dren. and because Of the fact that his equipment is set up in the school and no time Is lost waiting for chil- dren 10 come in. The dental work with the High school pupils was atarted. but not completed through lacl; Of time.
 "Early in the year th" idea Of re- duCed prices for examinations and glnssos for plainville school children, whose eyes were found defectiN" by ! the school eye tests. vas laid before the Public Health Nursing associa- ton. The association responded and made arrangements with Dr. Charles J. Greenstcin, an able oculist Of Nsw Britain to care for such cases as were referred to him by Miss Clara Gallant.
