 Supt. Chittenden reported on EZRA nursing work in the schools. The nurses make survey of health conditions as far as pos sible. A care index of each child is being kept and there will be d complete fife in each school build- ing, and aiso in the school nurses office. They check to ascertain if there are defects in sight, hearing, skin or throat conditions and also in teeth condition. They do not test on lung or heart conditions how ever. This would be up to doc tors.
 Delayed Too Long
 "Procrastination is the thief of time," Shakespeare makes one of his characters say and the school board members learned last night they had delayed too long on a matter which came up for discus sion last year. This was the mat ter of x-ray photographs to de- termine whether pupils had tuber- culosis or not. It was suggested about year ago by Supt. Chitten- den that this be inculcated in bor- ough schools.
 The board hemmed and hawed for several months, instructed the superintendent to investigate but did not give full and hearty ap- proval. Finally it consented to have the matter brought to the atten- tion of local doctors. This was in the spring Supt. Chittenden report tions by the state board of health are now over. and will not come up again this year at least.
 There was a discussion about physicians in borough schools. Supt. Chittendent informed the board there are six doctors each paid $200 annually as a set fee, who are active in local schools. Three times a year there is an inspection of each child to deter mine whether he has a contagious disease. Any child who has been out of school more than three days Is sent to a doctors office for ex- animation. The various schools are divided as follows: High school, pr Walter Reilly; Salem school, Dr Vincent P. Duffy; Central avenue, Oak, Beebe street and Rubber ave- nue schools, Dr William Hill; St. Francis school, Dr Harold John- son; Prospect, Pond Hill, Grove side and MillviIle school, Dr Ed ward Williams.
 Supt. Chittenden said evening school attendance is holding up re- markedly well. The chemistry classes are continuing to be quite successful. The board by a unani- nous vote approved the appoint ment nearly two months ago of Miss Florence O'LOughlin as prin- cipal of Hop Brook school, sue ceeding Miss Sarah Beardsley who had been named to take the place of Miss Helen Maroney. Miss Ma roney was appointed Salem school principal at the October meeting. Miss BeardsleY wished to continue her art studies so returned to her seventh grade work in Hop Brook and Miss o 'Loughlin was appointed to take her place. Her salary will be $1,60Q yearly.
 Inspection Made
 An -inspe ction of conditions of Naugatuck schools in relation to prevention of fire has been made, the superintendent reported. Blanks sent by the national board of fire underwriters as approved by the national association of pub lie schools, business officials were filled out and duplicates will be turned over to Fire Chief Milton Calvin for inspection. They were filled out with the aid of the school principal and janitor.a
 Some of the questions on the high school. a typical case, show the following facts: All doors of the school are equipped with panic locks which are tested each week and which lock securely. The heating equipment of the school is in good shape, being properly in sulated and separated from com bustible material. There is coal pile inspection periodically for evidences of heating.
