It was so bad that I would have to get up three or four times dQuring the night, which resulted in my nerves becoming all fagged out. T had a severe backache most of the time and my legs and ankles would swell up to an awful size. I tried pills and bottles of stuff but they didn't help me. :Then I tried Goldine No. 2 and, to my surprise, after a short period of treatment, I found that I didn’t have to get up nights, the swelling was gone from my legs and the pain had dis- appeared from my back. It's a won- derful medicine.” “I had rheumatism so bad that I never expected to get rid of it amd my only hope was to find a medicine that would relieve the pain some, so I could get rest at night and would be able to move around. It settled in my legs and arms and shoulders and, oh, the pains when I moved around any. As soon as I'd get in bed at night the muscles would start to ache and -I'd only be able to sleep an hour at a time. Then I tried Goldine No. 2 and was sure surprised to find that the pains were going away and the stiffness in the joints wasn't so bad.

T had the disease for five and a half years and the last year or so it was making me deaf. That scared me and I tried medicine after medicine but without results.

Under the heading “Our the Times,” Mr. Graham sz There are mdny post-war problems which are up for discussion and solu- tions of the momentous questions are being sought by the American people of tolay. Of all the prolific questions of popular discussion none is more impor- tant than the public school and its func- tion. This is because the people real- ize that the great problems of world peace, industrial and labor conditions, the Schools and vs: fight “against bolshevism, ete., 'will be hopeless unless we have an efficient school system—an educational system which implants in the. minds and lives of our children the sound principles of a democracy. Thesa principles will « not stand unless supported by an intelligent eitizenship. The post-war spirit is seeking to establish a more complete and effective democracy. Our~ teaching is meking an effort to break away from for the children larger opportunities for self initiative. Children afe being en- couraged to develop along the lines of their interest and aptitude. The schools through new methods of presentation, the social recitation, dramatics, games, various school activities where co-op® eration is necessary are training chil- dren for a larger democratic life. The teachers and those who control the conduct of the schools, should be held responsible for results. They should not be held responsible for more than can reasonably be expected with the funds and equipment provided for them. Thiz is where the responsibility of the public begins. The larger respon- sibi ity rests upon the community. Un- less the citizens assume and carry out their part of the work then the failure of the school rests squarely upon them. The community should make generous provision for the education of its chil- dren. School authorities face many grave and serious problems. To succesffully cope with and solve these they need the intelligent assistance and financial sup- port of the community. The most im- portant of these problems for .consider- ation a:er (1) a greater number of trained and better pald teachers, (2) more school buildings, (3) more provis- the shackles ef formalism and provide ions for physical edueation, (4) voca- e e FURNITURE RUGS COMPLETE stocks of dependable merchandise.

The most serfous prob- lem in American education today is the present condition of the public school teacher. The great bulk of our teach- ers are poorly trained, immature and transient. Fewer girls are going to the normal schools. Massachusetts has 1,000 fewer students in attendance than there were three years ago. Vermont is to close its normal schools this vear for lack of at- tendants. Connecticut has about two- thirds of a normal class. The same re- ports come from all the states that the attendance at the normal €chools is fast decreasing. . The“one hopefal aspect of the problem is that the response of the people to the appeal for a living wage for {eachers is being and will be met. The fact that teachers have always been underpaid: that most industries pay more; ; that a teacher's salary has been cut in two by the increased cost of living, are argu- ments which are just and fair for larger increases in salaries. Crowded Conditions, Again T call the attention of the eiti- zens to the crowded conditions of our schools in certain sections of the town. Last September it was nace$sary to re- move the fifth grade from the High Street school and place it in ‘ount Pleasant Street school. To aceommodate the fifth grade at Mount Pleasant it was necessary to place the first, second and third grades on half time.

This form of play has as much influence in physical and moral training a8 it has on their mental development. The free ply on floor, or at table, as occasion demands— the access to play apparatus, affords the most natural, healthful activity for the growing restless child. The free social intercourse of children, playing and -working naturally together, sharing with, co-opérating and assisting each other, gives thc most effective kind of moral training. Throughout the year it has been something other than the approval of the teacher that has held the children and tested their work. The bag made to use as a purse must needs bé woven tightly and evenly, else the thrift stamp mouney will be lost. The doil's table must stari@ firmly and even- ly in order to hold the tea-set safely. Poor workmanship condemns itself*when article made is put to the test of use. Lest it be thought that the teacher has no part in this project work, it should be understood that she stands ready to advise, to suggest and to help at all times. It is her part to assemble and provide necessary materials; to an- ticipate needs; to plan “plates of hon- ey” that shall entice the drones; to or- ganize and plan her work with reference to the children’s interests and needs, and to be ready and able to change quickly and to follow several lines of activity as occasion demands. Is it casier than former methods? By no means, but it is much more interesting, and one realizes more and more how the young child’s ability has been underes- timated. “Hands off” may well be the teacher’'s motto mueh of the time, if she truly desi to make her pupils inde- pendent anu self-reliant. The informal methods bring children and teacher closer together. The lat- ter gains a better understanding of in- dividual needs and short-comings, which results in more and more comprehensive planning on her part. All things considered, we feel that the value of project work has been proven this year in our kindergartens w'ite a8 surely as during the past few progressive schools all over ti With the enlightening experi past ten months as an aid, we antiei- pate far better results next year. Prbolem of Malnatrition. Vraious attempts are being made throughout the country to solve the prob- lem of malnutrition. Scales are being placed in the schools whereby the month- ly weighing of the children is becoming lan estbalished practice, so that it is pos- !sible to deteot most cases of malnutri- tion and provide some means for its re- moval before permanent harm has been done. Through the generosity and co-opera- ticn of the Red Cross six sets of scales were placed in our schools during the year. In ssveral of the schools where the school nurses have made a careful study of the physical condition of the children a large percentage of under- nourished pupils, according to the gov- |ernment standard were foand. Tt is evident that soms means should be provided for removing this handicap. e | SDection department is In the middle of the morning session a light lunch is provided, con- sisting of glaes of milk and a graham or s0da cracker. The children pay for the lunch which is served at cost. Where the experiment has been tried in Kansas City, Newton, Brookline, Mass, and oth- er places the result is a marked decrease in the evidences of fatigue. A more careful study of this question will be made duirng the coming school year. Weight and height records of all puplls should be kept and sent home on the monthly report cards. Such reports, I believe, would result in the better bb- servance of health habits and bring about a more enthusiastic co-operation of the home. The test of good teach- ing in hygiene is the formation of health habits. 1 recommend that an experi- mental nutrition class be formed in some school where most needed, and a care- ful study be made of the class. Dental Work, Authorities now agree that defective teeth are responsible for much of the re- tardation in school work and that the physical development of the child s much impaired by not properly caring for the testh. During the spring term school nursés made an examination of the testh of the children of the fiftfgrades In our system. It was found that a large per- centage of the children needed dental care. A dental clinic should be established to examine and chart the teeth of all school children. A copy of the chart. to- gether with a suggestion that tha child be taken to a dentist, should ba sent home to the parents whenever dental at- tention is needed. Physieal Tralsing. We learned many things from the war- The selective draft revealed the fact that many of our young men had serious phy- sleal defects which might have been corrected. These imperfections rendered them unfit for military service. While war demands are of no immediate in- terest, yet, these defects render a man unfit to carry forward his life work in the most useful manner.

Y. ommended in my report of last year, I believe the best solution of this problem is the erection of a jumior high school which would give all of the new progres- sive educational opportunities to = our school system and at the same time re- lieve the crowded conditions. Finances and Salaries. Expenses for public education have largely increased as in all other lines offactivity. In 1915, the school depart- ment expended $122,502.90; in 1918, it was $135,791.3 in 1919, $167,352.43; in 1920 the amount was $182,776.33 and the proposed budget for 1921 is $223,- 094.29, 5 The greater part of this increase is for teachers’ and janitors' salaries. The increase is necessary and justified be- cause of the inadequate pay Which our teaghers have received. In the country at large there is a widespread shortage of good teachers who have left educa- tional work for more lucrative, indust- rial and commercial positions. In many places the situation is acute and the only sufficient remedy is to offer salar- ies that will attract and hold competent teachers. The gemerous action of the town school committee in the revision of our salary schedule’ places our salarie® upon, approximaitely, the same basis as other cities of equal size. The minimum for a teacher without experience was changed from $700 to $900. Four hun- dred dollars was added to the maxi- mums. The yearly increase was changed from $40 .to $50. AIl ‘teachers were granted a flat increase of $200 for the school year of 1920-21. The janitors received approximately a 20 per cent. increase. Kindergartens, There are now eleven kindergartens in the town. Each director, with an as- sistant, conducts two sessions. The morning session is from 9 to 11 -o'clock; the afternoon session from 115 to 3 o'cloek. During the past year the directors have given more attention-to the free period, in which the pupils are allowed to choose arny work they like to do. . All of the departments have been pro- vided with a supply of materials for pro- ject work in addition to the regular kin- dergarten equipment. The project work has been a decided success in several of the Kkindergartens. Below follows a synopsis of a very intéeresting and de- tailed report of one of the kindergarten directors.
