 Miss Neary Reports
 Miss Elizabeth c. Weary, school nurse, made 1901 routine health ex- aminations during June, her report showed, with II schools visited, Forty notices of defective tonsils were sent to parents or guardian and 8 notices of defective vision were sent. Three tonsilar and ade. noidal conditions were corrected by operation and 6S cases of defective vision were corrected by glasses.
 Thirty-six had minor cuts and injuries dressed and there were two emergency cases.
 The extensive duties of the school nurse and the helpful nature of her work are shown as follows:
 All pupils were weighed and measured twice during the year by the teachers and the results were charted.
 A mid-morning lunch of graham crackers and a half pint bottle of milk was provided for the needy underweight children. In addition to these, there was e considerable number who purchased milk and crackers. This lunch is a great help to the growing youngsters and 1t is gratifying to know that, through the generous spirit of the Nauga- tuck Rotary club, milk will again be furnished to the under-privileged children during the summer months.
 Hearing tests and eye tests were conducted during the year and par ents were notified of existing de- fleets.
 am pleased to report that, since the last annual eye-test, flfty-three children obtained glasses, twenty one had their glasses rechecked, and seven were examined by oculists who found that glasses were not needed.
 The nurses ofi1ce at the Salem school still serves a useful purpose, as all children with minor injuries and sores can be attended to with out delay.
 Vaccination against smallpox will go into effect in September for the first time when all children enter ing school for the first time will have been vaccinated. The value of the inoculation speaks for itself and if the work is continued from year to year. smallpox epidemics will be entirely eliminated.
