REPORT HANCOCK COUNTY HEALTH SERVICE

58

FOR TOWN OF BUCKSPOKT, 1935

To Selectmen, Superintendent of Schools, and Citizens of Town o fV

t

Bucks port, Maine:» •

I herein submit the report of the service rendered the Town of Bucksport by the Hancock County Health Service from February 1st, 1935 to February, 1930.

The major part of the program given to Bucksport is the work* • *

in the schools. This has been continued as in other years, routine*

weighing, measuring and inspection for the physical defects and symptoms of infectious diseases.

Full individual inspection has been given the pupils of Bucksport High, Spofford Junior High, Luman Warren Sub-Primary, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and the 6th grades, Hancock Pond, Center, Cobb, Millvale, Duck Cove, and the East Bucksport schools. Long Pond is yet to be done, as three trips have been made but not accomplished as yet, when travelling is somewhat better.

Of the 747 pupils inspected, 549 were found to have defects, 198 were eligible to qualify for the Six and Seven Point Pin and Certifi­cate. This shows an increase over other years, of the numberqualifying.

Following is the result of this inspection:No. pupils fcund with infected eyelids, 8No. pupils found with defective vision with glasses, 5No. pupils found with defective vision, 37No. pupils found with defective hearing, 1No. pupils found with carious teeth needing attention, 372No. pupils found with abnormal throats, 117No. pupils found with nasal obstruction, 82No. pupils found with postural defects, 38No. pupils found with 10% or more underweight, 63No. pupils found with 20% or more overweight, 26No. pupils found with defective speech, 15

59

No. pupils found with unclean scalps, 10No. pupils found with skin defects, 3No. pupils found with scabies, 1

« * • . V . . v ' *• ~ . *

No. pupils found with diseased gums, 4No. pupils found with nervous symptoms, 4No. pupils found with irregular teeth, 4No. pupils found with pediculosis, 1

Of the 372 pupils having carious or decayed teeth, 256 had temporary decayed teeth, while 116 the permanent teeth decays, 125 needing prophylactic cleaning. This tartar formation, as the dentist explains, will in time eat into the white enamel, thus destroying the structure of the tooth, and decay results.

Notifications have been sent to the homes stating the defects found in the individual pupil. Health talks given in the class rooms, and class inspections are also given when the occasion arises.

' I * » , y- - «- ' ?

As a result of the individual inspections there have been a good, • ■ • > I V - • ,

number of corrections, which is most gratifying. 21 pupils have had vision corrected with glasses, 257 have had dental corrections. This

t • •

number include those attending the Red Cross Clinic, which was heldy • . *

in April. 24 have had tonsils and adenoids removed by operation, atto

the Eastern Maine General Hospital, and the Castine Hospital by Dr.Babcock. 38 postural defects corrected and 4 underweights.

. . . . • •

Arrangements made and accompanied two pupils to Bangor for vision correction. Attended the High School Assembly one morning and gave a talk on ‘ 'Colds and Their Preventatives.”

The Audiometer, an instrument for measuring the hearing was used in the High School, 125 taking the test. 18 were retested.

r *

The Reparative Dental Clinic of last year was again repeated in the month of April, and was sponsored and financed through the Bucksport Red Cross, and the three dentists, Dr. Gould, Dr. F rench, and Dr. Farnham of Town were in charge of the work. This meant considerable work, in the preparation of the transportation, of the pupils to and from their homes, to the dentists offices. Much of this work being done on Saturdays, so as not to interfere with their school. Only permanent work was done for each pupils, rather than the prophylactic cleanings, as in other years, and the repair of first teeth.

Many school follow-up visits have been made to the homes to pro­mote interest in having defects corrected, and in arranging ways and means of having it done, for after all it is unfair to the child if he is not put in his best possible working condition, and it is unfair to other pupils who are held back by the slower progress of children, who, if put in good condition would do better work.

►

Numerous visits have been made to babies, pre-school, pre-natals, and post-natal cases, visits of investigation, as well as visits to the chronically ill, and which would take time and space to enumerate. It seems almost impossible to show up the amount of work one would like to do.

During July, and as other years, the usual Well Baby Clinic was held at the Elm Street Congregational Church Vestry, throughout the day, Dr. McLaughlin, Dr. Foster, and Dr. Carr gave their services, Miss Belle Orne, the Federal nurse, and the County Nurse assisting. 15 babies, and 13 pre-school children attended with their mothers, and were weighed, measured, and examined by the physicians, and advice given when necessary, as to the feeding and care of their children. This seems to be much appreciated. We are planning to have more

4» - l

of these Clinics during the coming summer, as they are of much benefit to the mothers of a small family of children.

For the future we are much in need of a Tuberculin Test Clinic, followed up by a Chest Clinic, and also an immunizing or Toxoid Clinic.

To the Red Cross, Physicians, Mr. Jewett, Superintendent of Schools,• •

Dentists, and all lay members, and citizens of Bucksport, who have been untiring in their splendid cooperation in all efforts to improve defects in the school child, and all others, we express our heartiest appreciation, for without their efforts, the work could not be accom­plished.

The service rendered the many towns of Hancock County is financed through the sale of the Christmas Seal, and by the town appropriation.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT, r ■*

OF SCHOOLS• *

61

To the Superintending School Committee and Citizens of Bucksport :

It is my privilege to submit herewith, the annual report of the public schools for the year ending February 1, 1936.

The most important statistics are included at the opening of this report. A careful study of these factsi also the financial report is necessary, if one is to visualize the real situation.

STATISTICS

Number registered in Senior High School September, 1935, 140Number registered in Junior High School September, 1935, 160Number registered in Luman Warren School September, 1935, 335Number registered in the rural schools September, 1935, 149Total number registered in all schools, 784Number in town between the ages of 5 and 21, 876Number c f teachers employed, 26Number weeks school is maintained in the elementary schools, 35 Number weeks school is maintained in the high schools, 36Average salary of teachers in elementary schools, $638.33Average salary of women teachers in high schools, 869.66Average salary of men teachers in secondary schools, 1,500.00Tax rate for school maintenance, .00950Average tax rate for school maintenance in the State, .01171Per capita cost of Senior High School, $75.00Per capita cost of Junior High School, 54.00• The registration in each school has increased. The total registration

is 784 compared with 734 last year. The tax rate for school purposes is only .0095, while the average for the State is .01171. There are some citizens who feel that the cost of maintaining the schools has increased rapidly and is much too high. Comparisons are made to the( cost eight or ten years ago before the increase in school population. It would be only fair to compare the statistical and financial reports for the past ten years. The acual cost per pupil has decreased. In 1928 there were only 323 registered in the elementary schools and 72 in secondary schools. The total appropriation was $15,900.00. The registration increased about 98% while the appropriation increased about 51%. A careful study of these figures will show that the

62

appropriations have not increased in proportion to the increase in registration.

The salaries paid many of our teachers are very low. This will mean a frequent change, which is expensive and detrimental to the schools. During the summer vacation some of our most successful teachers resigned to accept positions with higher salaries. The demand for teachers with successful experience was much greater this year than at any time since the depression and probably will be as con­ditions improve.

*

Fortunately all of the vacancies were filled by teachers with ex­cellent training and some have had previous experience. We can not expect to retain them long unless the salaries are increased.

One of our greatest problems is to relieve the crowded condition at the Junior High School. This was referred to in my last report. At that time it seemed as though some definite recommendation could be made this year; However, the situation remains the same for no definite plans have developed for a high school building. It would be impossible to accommodate fifty to sixty first year students at

j

Morris Hall without extensive alterations. With the present registra­tion at the Senior High School there is not ample room for a study hall or home rooms nor are there any coat rooms. There may be some plan to present at the annual meeting.

Another situation that I wish to call to your attention is the school at Long Pond. At-present there is a registration of only six pupils. The total cost' of maintaining the school is approximately $620.00 a year. This is a very large per pupil cost, which seems necessary due to the geographical location. There is no room at the Ha ncock Pond School. They could be cared for at either the East Bucksport or Duck Cove School. The roads and distance to both of these schools makes conveyance very difficult. The law provides that a school not main­taining an average attendance of at least eight shall be closed unlessthe town votes to maintain the school. Therefore, an article has been

*

inserted in the Warrant to see what action you wish to take.The last few years the Seminary was maintained, very little was

expended for books and typewriters. It was absolutely essential that many of these be replaced this year, which accounts for the larger ex­penditure for books and supplies. There were also a complete set of health books purchased for the elementary grades.

The small appropriation of $500 for repairs is not sufficient to properly maintain all o f the school buildings. The roof of the Spofford building was patched. It should be shingled during the coming summer. Some of the rural buildings are in very poor condition, especially the one at the Center, East Bucksport, and Long Pond. The cornice, windows, etc., at the human Warren building also the interior should be painted. Nothing has been done to this build­ing since it was built. At least $1,000 a year is needed for the general cleaning and upkeep of the buildings.

64

I feel that much credit is due to the teachers for the excellent careI

taken of the buildings, for the interest they have, not only in the class room but in all the activities of the schools. The success of any school

» . ' > -* y

depends upon the teacher. We wei’e sorry to lose so many teachers, who had been with us several years. The work of the new teachers should be commended for they are carrying on with the same interest.

In closing, I wish to thank the teachers, officials and citizens foV their continued cooperation and support.

Respectfully submitted,G. H erbert J e w e t t , Superintendent.

REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL4 ,

To the Superintendent, Superintending School Committee, and Citizensof Bucks port:

After the closing of the Seminary in 1933, Bucksport High S ch oo l opened its doors to 125 students. This number increased to 130 in 1934, and in 1935 the school opened with a total enrollment of 140. There are attending the high school approximately 50 more town students than ever enrolled in the Seminary.

In 1933 and 1934 the faculty consisted of a principal and thrae teachers. In 1935, because there was an increase in the number of pupils and subjects it was deemed necessary to add another instructor for French and English courses.

The high school is offering three courses* of study: Classical, forstudents who plan to go to college; General, for those who are not planning to go to college; and Commercial, for those who desire to enter the business world.

The number of pupils in each class is:Sophomores, 56Juniors, 40Seniors, 38Post-Graduates, 6

The number of pupils-in each course is:Classical, 42General, 28

I

Commercial, 70Bucksport High School is a Class A High School, and the State

Department of Education has seen fit to give us an excellent rating, comparable with any other school of its size and class in Maine.

The standing of the school was further enhanced in the spring of 1935 when we succeeded in placing* Bucksport High School among the schools listed on the New England College Entrance Board. Thus by attaining certificate rank, without examination our pupils may enter any of the colleges listed on this Board.

In order that we might have a varied curriculum to offer our students, we have included in our program public speaking, orchestra and chorus work, editing of a school year book, chapel programs con­ducted by the students, a Sports Club for girls, operetta and dramatic study by participation, physical education, and athletics, consisting

66

of football, basketball, baseball, and tennis. Thus we offer a secondary education equivalent to that offered in other Maine high schools.

It seems proper to call attention to the building we now occupy. It has several drawbacks. They are caused mainly by the fact that the building was erected to take care of boarding students. No study halls nor home rooms were provided for them between classes because the students studied in the dormitory. In a public high school these conditions do not prevail; therefore, it is necessary to provide study hall facilities, which are not available in this building except under crowded conditions.

It is true that the lack of a study hall could be remedied by using our chapel as a study hall, but a school without a chapel is certainly out of place under our present school system.

■

The locker room facilities for the boys and girls are exceptionally* 1 _

poor because their lockers are suitable only for the storage of athletic equipment and not for wraps and books. This condition necessitates

* . v

students’ carrying their books to classes and cluttering up the class rooms. This could be prevented if home rooms with lockers and desks were provided.

One of the reasons why colds have been so prevalent among high school students is the fact that there is no ventilation system through­out Morris Hall.

Our gymnasium facilities are also very poor, as many people of Bucksport already know. The gym not only is small and narrow,

I

but also offers no opportunity for enlargement in order that we may accommodate the large crowds that sometimes attend our athletic contests.

Respectfully submitted,P a u l J. B r o w n ,

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC

To the Superintendent of S c h o o l s , School Committeeand the Citizens of the Town Bucksport :

I herewith submit my annual report as Supervisor of Music in the public schools:

In the sub-primary and first grade, rote songs are being taught ex­clusively. Beginning in the second grade, rote, observation, reading and study songs are used. Throughout the primary, elementary, and intermediate grades a great deal of music appreciation and rhythm play is given. Through the use of these and other correlation, music unconsciously becomes a vital part in every phase of the child’s life. Through music appreciation the child becomes well acquainted with composers of the classics, romantic and modern schools of music, and with their more famous works. Attention is brought, in this way, not only to the old masters, but to their contemporaries and to important musicians and musical happenings in the world today.

In the rural schools rote songs are being taught, for the most part. The children are somewhat handicapped in that it is not possible for each child to have a book of his own, but the copying of the songs from the board gives him practice in copying notes, thereby giving him a small insight to technical difficulties. Music appreciation and

W

rhythm work are also given.At the Spofford Junior High School, the much needed and greatly

appreciated purchase of new song books has made it possible to have a chorus of 130 voices, singing two and three part music. The Junior

i i

High School Orchestra of fifteen pieces has made several appearances this year, as have several of the soloists.

The Girls’ and’ the Boys’ Glee Clubs at the High School are new organizations. In a smaller group of selected voices intensive voice training may be given. The Girls’ Glee Club has made one public

i t

appearance besides the Christmas Carol Concert, which was presented by both of the Glee Clubs. Soloists from the Glee Clubs were chosen for the operetta, “ The Lucky Jade.” Special music for Commence­ment will be given by them, thus giving them a varied musical pro­gram of study. The operetta given by the entire high school provided training and experience in the production, which is of such great value in later years.

■'r1

6 8

The High School Orchestra of eighteen pieces has been doing a great deal of intensive study on works of the masters. The Orchestras’ large participation in the operetta provided excellent experience in ac­companying soloists and choruses. The orchestra recently gave a concert with the Bucksport Band.

Although the schools are well equipped with song books, a great addition would be the schools’ ownership of the more unusual wood­wind and brass instruments. It would also be to great advantage to have a specially equipped music room, provided with a music library, thus providing a well-equipped room for all rehearsals, practice and study.

' <

On behalf of the students of the public schools, I wish to express my appreciation to the superintendent, the superintending school com­mittee and the citizens of Bucksport for making so many projects possible, and for their cooperation in all musical productions and presentations.

Respectfully submitted,E l i z a b e t h W orcester ,

Supervisor of Music.
