32 <br />parents permitted in Grades 2, 4, 6 and 8. Forty-five pupils <br />benefited from this application which is designed to prevent <br />decay formation. Mrs. Dalzell's work is sponsored by the <br />County. Health Department. <br />In July and August, Dr. Elroy Anderson examined four- <br />teen pre-school children in perparation for their entrance <br />into Grade I in September. <br />With the expert guidance of Miss Mary Susich of the <br />Barnstable County Health Department, a new group called <br />the Mashpee Health Council was formed. The purpose of <br />this group was the further development of education and <br />interest in all health aspects of the young people of this <br />community. This was to be done in cooperation with all <br />agencies now in existence in Mashpee. Leaders of all groups <br />were contacted and invited to participate. In May, a pro- <br />gram was held by the Mashpee Health Council for the P.T.A. <br />in which a film was previewed by the parents dealing with <br />adolescent development. With the cooperation of most of <br />the parents, a film concerning the process of growth from <br />conception until marriage was shown to a girl's group and a <br />boy's group from the seventh and eighth grades. The young <br />folks' response to this film was gratifying. More such educa- <br />tional films are planned for the new year. Parents are in- <br />vited to attend these sessions. <br />Health supervision and counseling is a very important <br />part of the program. The school child of today is the parent <br />and citizen of tomorrow. We hope to instill a sense of <br />responsibility and knowledge which will better equip your <br />child to meet his family and community living. <br />I have found an increased interest throughout the Town <br />of Mashpee regarding the promotion of health and the pre- <br />vention of disease. The people are generally eager for any <br />service striving toward these goals. In over two hundred <br />visits to your homes, your welcome was sincere and your co- <br />operation in the majority of cases has made public health <br />nursing for you a satisfying experience. Please feel free at <br />any time to call on me for assistance or advice. Statistics <br />
