Rideout, Superintendent of Schools: The annual report of the Home Economics Instructor of the Dover-Foxcroft schools for the year 1928-29 is hereby submitted. Home Economics deals with the activities that are centered around the home life of the girl. Any effective study of home economics, therefore, must use the same materials and processes which the girl encounters in the actual situation. In so far as possible the class room provides an imitation of the real situation in daily life which the girl will encounter. In order to determine the needs of pupils and the phases of work in home economics that can best serve these needs, it is necessary to know the activities of the pupils, the experiences that make up their daily living and the probable future life experiences. The teacher can do this only through gaining an intimate knowledge of each pupil by learning what types of activities she is performing in her home for herself and for others, what home practices she is familiar with, what she plans to do after leaving school and what activities we have reason to believe these girls will participate in when they later take up the vocation of home making. At the beginning of the year there were 81 students enrolled as follows: Grade VII A, 13; Grade VII B, 15; Grade VIII A, 14; Grade VlII B, 11; Academy Freshmen, 23; Academy Sophomores, 5.
66 ANNUAL REPORT The work covered this year includes selection of foods, their function in the body, wholesome preparation, service and cost. In the clothing unit the selection of ready made garments, knowledge of materials, appropriate and becoming designs, color, cost, durability, and personal appearance, laundering and textile production; a study of problems that relate to the home and family, such as home management and care of the home, care of children, care of sick, household emergencies, and business of the household. The new equipment this year includes an Electric Hot Point Automatic Oven and a donation of two dozen wooden cooking spoons. In closing, I wish to express my appreciation to the students and parents for their enthusiastic interest manifested in this department. Respectfully submitted, REPORT OF SCHOOL To Superintendent Walter J. Hideout: ADA L. Ross. PHYSICIAN During the school year there have been two changes in nurses. At the beginning of the Spring term in 1928, Mrs. Hayes moved to Boston and Miss LaBree of Monson, a graduate nurse, was elected to complete the year. Since she did not care to continue the work after the end of that school year, we were without a nurse again. We could not obtain anyone to fill the position until October first when Mrs. Hutchins accepted election. By a stroke of good fortune we now have a nurse "on the job" who, by special training and experience in school nursing in other states, is especially well qualified to carry on the work which her predecessors so firmly established. Constant observation of health conditions, prompt attention to individual cases, and isolation of suspects, is the only method by which spread of an epidemic can be stopped. During the year there have been cases of measles, German measles, chicken pox, whooping cough, and mumps. The latter named disease caused the great-
