Here, from the earliest grades, the child learns his lessons of sportsmanship, fair play, obedience and responsi- bility. The school activities train the pupils for good citi- zenship and teaches how to take part in self government Such organizations as the grange, the church and the sun day school give to young and old an opportunity for social gath erings, religious instructions, and sharing of responsibility, all of which is a part of the work of a democratic state If these town institutions are to be continued, citizens must become more interested them I believe that all adults should go to town meeting, even though they do not vote Every one should be willing to hold office and to cooperate with other citizens People should become more enthusiastic about the schools The parents should visit the schools and citizens with no children, should give all possible aid to supporting the school and its activities In these days when the right to assemble and to worship ac cording to the dictates of con science are being snatched away zens must become more interested in these rights and try to cre ate different attitude in thc younger generation toward thc town institutions Ikilvklkiklk COMMUNICABLE DISEASES AND T B TEST In February the school w s visited by the health nurse ann Dr Laughlin, head of the Healti Department of Maine, who gave I . . . .

2 very interesting talk on commun- icable diseases. He explained the nature of the most com on diseases, how they are contracb ted, the best way to avoid them, and how to prevent the spreading of them Later Dr Laughlin and the nurse returned, and gave the T B test to all pupils who had the consent of their parents This test shows whether the 1n dividual has or ever has had T B even in a mild form Four students reacted to the test and were taken to Fairfield for X ray The X ray shows the extent of the trouble, and from that the doctor and nurse prescribe such treatment as 1S necessary This T thing to est s fine be used 1n any school and lt is the hope of the stu dents and teachers that it will be carried on every year XXXXXX SCHOOL LUNCHES Through the efforts of our Superintendent hr Jones, school lunches have been very success ful Ur Jones secured the help of Mrs Abbie Hannan, Ars Rose Hannan and Irs Blanche Cates to prepare the meals These lunches have a great value because you donft have to bring so much food from home, and they furnlsh at least one hot dish or drink The grange was kind enough to lend the school their dishes, and people around town lave also made contributions of dishes Each pupil makes a small week contribution of either money material and thus ve are able balance our vitamin as well as our budget During the week that the lower grades were hav ing vacation we made a special contribution of ice cream Je easily consumed seven gallons At first not many of the high school pupils came to the lunch room to eat, but later no one was left behind The high school students eat first at ll 30, then the grammar and primary come in at ll 45 We all hope that these lunch es V111 continue throughout the ye rs to come XXX!!!
