Cady and Mr. William L. Robinson were re-elected Trustees for three years. The Board organized by choice of the following officers and committees: President, William L. Robinson. Secretary, William A. Copeland, Treasurer, William C. Fuller. Standing Committees : Library and Librarian, William M. Macnair and William A. Copeland. Library room, William L. Robinson and William C. Fuller. EW 88 Finance and Accounts, Frank L. Cady and William C. Mills. Miss Ida F. Hodges was re-elected Librarian and Mrs. Charles M. Harden was re-elected assistant. The auxiliary committee of ladies, which was ap- pointed Iast year and who have previously by their efforts procured pictures and casts for the Library, held a very successful entertainment in the Town Hall last May from which they made sufficient profit to pay for some additional casts for the Library, and also to purchase a handsome hall clock which has recently been placed in the Library. The magazines now placed on the Library table are : Youth's Companion, Scientific American, Scrib- ner's, Munsey's, Harper's and Review of Reviews. There have been added 85 new books during the year ; total circulation for the year, 12,373 ; average number taken out on Tuesdays, 5a ; Thursdays, 52 ; Saturdays, 1.16. The books issued on Saturdays have an average classification as follows : Biography, 2 ; Juvenile, 60 ; Fiction, 70 ; Miscellaneous, 10 ; History, 2; Poetry, 2. Cards have been issued to 127 new patrons. On account of the town meeting coming at an earlier date than heretofore, and the necessity of the report being in the printer's hands earlier than usual, the Treasurer's report shows an apparent larger bal- ance than is really the case. Nearly all of this ap- parent balance will be required to meet bills which 89 will accruesafter this report goes to press, but before the annual meeting. WILLIAM L. ROBINSON, WILLIAM A.

State aid on account of Superintendent. Dog Fund and Tuition. The valuation of the town now exceeds the limit of two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2.500,- 000), so that we are no longer entitled to any of the Massachusetts School Fund, which last year amounted to $827.92. Through an error of the bookkeepers the state overpaid the town $125.50 last year. This we shall have to refund. On account of the delay in securing the appropri- ation for the new Spaulding school, we held back the money appropriated at the last annual meeting which was intended for painting the interior of the Central and Green schools. When this appropriation was made your committee thought it wise to delay the painting, as it was questioned whether the appropria- tion would cover the cost of furniture, and the money might be wanted for this purpose. We are glad to report, however, that the building was built within the appropriation and a small balance returned to the town. 26 The seemingly large balance carried forward to 1906 will be used to complete the repairs and paint- ing contemplated in 1905. Attention is called to the report of the Superin- tendent of Schools. Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH WILSON, HARRY R. FISHER, S. F.

T The notable changes during this year have oc- curred at both ends of the 'course: in the primary schools at the center and in the High school By the erection of a new school building on the Spaulding lot, we have been enabled to grade our primary schools in such a way as to produce condi- tions for doing the most effective work. There are now first and second grades at both ends of the cen- `Town House Sehools, 30 ter, besides the same grades at the Green, so that all the little people are within easy walking distance of one or another of these schools. Instead of the crowded condition of the rooms which we had last _year, each teacher has a suitable number for giving individual attention to every pupil at a time when this personal attention is most needed. That provision for these little ones was made none Lou early, it is simply necessary to state that at the Spaulding school we have seventy-seven in two grades where last year at this time we had forty in one grade. For the first six weeks of the fall term the old build- ing was used in the morning for the first grade and in the afternoon for the second grade. On the 16th of October, 1906, the rooms of the new building were opened. and happy children and glad teachers entered one of the most beautiful, sanitary and up-to- date school-bouses we have in town. Beautifully lighted school -rooms, warm corridors for clothing, ex- cellent heat and ventilation, modern sanitary arrange- ments, it is no wonder that we all rejoice that the clays of insufficient light, faulty ventilation, cold en- tries, frozen water pipes, out -door sanitaries and coal sheds are of the past. The children have more pride in keeping them- selves neat and clean to correspond with their sur- roundings, they can study better for they can see bet- ter and are freer from headaches; the teachers can do bettes work for they have more room and blackboards. There is still room for growth, for the building 31 will accommodate one hundred and twelve pupils, and it is hoped that by utilizing this room the crowded condition of the lower grades now in the Central building may be relieved. That there is need -of re- lief will be evident by glancing at the table of grades, which shows how many have more pupils than the full capacity of the rooms; which is fifty-six, except in the annex. Rarely do we have to record an entire change in the teaching force of the High School, but this year is the exception. Beginning in September, Mr. Gains B. Frost took the principalship, teaching Latin and geometry, Miss Louise C. Hunt, the English and re- views, Miss Florence K. McMillan, modern languages and commercial subjects, Miss Constance E. Adams, science and history. Had we known beforehand just how this combination would have worked together, we do not think that we could have made a wiser choice. Before the school opened these teachers met together, planned their work and entered upon it with a fair understanding of just what was to be done. No one who has not tried it can realize how difficult it is to build upon another's foundation. For this reason the work has been more difficult than it other- wise would, but that much good work has been done needs but a visit to the school to show. The whole' atmosphere of the place is full of work, consequently there is little confusion,i and by the end of the year there will be a satisfaction in the results obtained which will make many hearts glad. rr 'v G WE 4 � 32 Ir� ,,fII'j 33 �, In the chemical laboratory the list of supplies is � P f �� quite complete.

WELT ALBERT VERNON WILSON 40 Few changes have been made in the course of study for the grades or in the books used. The most important change has been in the sys- tem of writing by changing from the vertical to a partial slant. We were assisted in making this change by Mr. Howard, supervisor of Writing in the Malden, Mass., schools. Ordinarily a change of this character is best made by beginning with the lower grades and working up, but as the form of the new letters is much like that which we have been writing, the ability to gain skill in the new method has been less difficult. Now stress is laid more upon the manner of holding the pen and in rapidity of move- ment, things which were made of minor account in the old system. In music, the supervisor has been doing more in- dividual work with the pupils than ever before. The change along this line seems to be very general in the schools of the state. Individual work reveals to teacher and pupil alike how much is really known and how much is simple imitation. In schools where'part-singing is studied two or three children take the parts alone, one taking the soprano, another the second soprano, and another the alto. Each child thus becomes accustomed, not only to hearing his own voice, but to sustaining his part alone, which is a much harder thing to do. The work in drawing during the first part of the year is devoted to Nature Drawings, the second part 41 Constructive Drawing and Design. Each of these subjects has its special design in training to habits of observation, to see beauty of form and color, to exer- cise judgm-nt, to learn careful and accurate ruling and measurements by the. use of ruler and compass, and to acquire habits of orderliness and neatness. The work in the High school has increased very much. Last year there were only ten who took drawing; this year there are thirty-two. By lengthening the school year to forty weeks we have added six hundred and six days to the 'total length of school in days for the year ending last June. This has added also to the salaries of the teachers, and this, or some other reason, has reduced the number of different teachers employed during the year by four. In addition to the special exercises which on form- er years we have had on Washington's Birthday,' Patriots' Day and Memorial Day, in order to carry out the spirit of the law of Massachusetts, which imposes upon all instructors of youth the obligation to use their best endeavors to instill into the minds of the children and youth committed to their care the prin- ciples of "love of country, humanity and universal benevolence," at the call of the Secretary of the Board of Education we have observed this year the 18th of ` May. This day was fixed; upon in commemoration of the opening of the Hague Conference, May 18, 1899. It was suggested that appropriate exercises be held in the schools for the purpose of emphasizing the bless- 42 ings of peace, of showing the superiority of arbitration over war, and of exalting the brotherhood of nations. The motto suggested for the day was, "God bath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth." Our histories are so full of the details of wars that it was a revelation that so much could be found bearing upon the triumphs of peace. Beautiful exercises were provided, in the selection of which we were greatly assisted by the school papers, and it is heartily recommended that this day be added to our regular patriotic days. In this connection I cannot refrain from mention- ing the good results coming from the observance of Thanksgiving and Christmas in the schools. Long before the eventful days come the music, drawing and much of the reading and memorizing center about these great events, and it is an unceasing pleasure to watch the eagerness which these days bring to the pursuit of the daily tasks. This year especially have ail the hearts of the little ones gone out to those whose condition in life is less favorable than their own in bind remembrances, making many glad. For the effort which you have made to retain our good teachers by paving increased salaries, for fur- nishing suitable rooms for our pupils, for your per- sonal cooperation with me in trying to raise the stand- ard of our schools, my thanks are most heartily given.

Municipal Ligr OF 1 9 OF THE I MUNICIPAL LIGHTING BQAB TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOwN OF MANSFIELD, MA We hereby submit to the voters of ` the tow Mansfield our secondannual report as the Muni Light Board, the same being a report of the opera of the plant for the year ending Dec. 31`, 1905 At the annual meeting of the town held Marc1 1905, Mr. George Gl Foster was elected a memb the Municipal Light Board' for the term endinj 1908. The Board was organized with W. H. L chairman and D. C. Richardson clerks At this meeting the town voted to appropriate sum of'$4,000.00, together with the receipts of plant from the commercial business, this sum t< used for maintenance. They also voted to issue bonds to the amour $7,000.00, and of this amount $2 900.00 was tc used to pay town notes issued" on account of the p in the previous year for construction purposes,' the balance ($4.100.00) to be used as a fund for tensions. it ii t 4 The plant has continued to operate in a very sat- isfactory manner, and the increase in new business has been of such a volume as to test the capacity of the station equipment. The percentage of increase in income over the year 1904 was fully 200 per cent., while the cost of opera- tion was but 55 per cent. greater, which shows a net gain of 145 per cent, We estimate the income of 1906 to show an in- crease over 1905 of at least $3,000.00. In making this estimate we take into consideration the fact that over one-half of this business is already connected to our service and has produced an income for the clos- ing six months of the fiscal year. If the town desires to meet the demand for ad- ditional light and power it will be necessary to add to the equipment of the present plant. Another new unit, equal in capacity to the present installation, should be added. Upon making a careful estimate of the annual expense to the town if such addition is made, we find sufficient income at our disposal to pro- vide for such expense, also to return to the town suf- ficient earnings, over and above the cost of operation, to justify such addition. As will be seen by a perusal of the manager's re- port, the total cash receipts for the year were $10,- 219.84, which sum includes the appropriation of $4,- 000.00 made by the town for maintenance. The total expenditures for operation were $8,536.72, leaving a cash balance in the hands of the town treasurer of 5 $1,683.12, and which was placed to the credit of the depreciation fund, as is provided by law. We are of the opinion that the plant is estab- lished upon a firm business basis and must be consid- ered as a valuable asset of the town and contributing to the material growth and addition to her industries. We therefore earnestly recommend that you give special consideration to the need of additional equip- ment for this department. We present herewith the report of Manager James E Arthur. which will be of much interest to the voters of the town We take this occasion to thank the citizens for the many favors shown the Board, and for the loyal sop - port accorded upon all occasions. W. H. LYONS, D. C. RICHARDSON, G. L. FOSTER. Manslield Municipal Liyhl Board. 6 TO THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT 130ARD OF THE TOWN OF MANSFIELD, Mass.: Gentlemen, —I herewith submit for your consid- eration and approval the report of the business and financial condition of this plant for the year ending December 31, 1905 The business for the past year has increased very rapidly, and at the present time the equipment is prac- tically loaded to its full capacity During the year 43customers were connected. 11 transformers and 23 meters put in, and 100 horse- power of motors installed.; The income for light and power sold for the year was $6,796.64. This is an increase of $4,523.35, or 200 per cent. over last year. The total cost of maintenance, including the cost of operating the street lights, was $8,536.72, while the cost last year was $5,070.63, which is but 55 per cent. higher. Should the business continue as it has in the past six months the income for the year 1906 should show a decided increase, without materially increasing the cost of operation. There have been 20 new incandescent street lights 7 installed during the year. The street lights hav been operated all night and every night as in the pre vious year. There has been but one serious intei ruption during the year, and this was 'caused by th breaking of the main shaft on one of the engines. t defect in the steel, which could not be detect& caused the break. A new shaft was ,'procured th next day and was put in place as rabidly as possibb at no expense to the town. < The engine is now i perfect condition. Changes in the switchboard and on the lines, a mentioned in my report of last year, have been mad( and this part of the; equipment is now in first clw condition. The net cost per light for the year for `strei lights, as shown in the accompanying statement, wf $59.48 for are and $15.11 for incandescent light) This cost will compare favorably with an-, city or: tow in the state. New business is developing rapidly. Constar inquiries for current for power purposes are beir made. The present; equipment is taxed to its full c pacity and it has been necessary to refuse to supp the same. Unless' additional; equipment in the shag of a new unit of about 300 horse -power is installe it will be impossible to supply the citizens of the tov with electric power. It is also a fact that should of of the present units become disabled it would necessary, during the heavy load, to discontinue t] Wk I H street light lines and a part of the commercial lines until the commercial load decreased. A new unit is an absolute necessity if the citizens are to be supplied with what they have.a right to ex- pect, and to also provide for an emergency in case of breakdown. The additional income, which would be obtained at no very great increase in the operating expense, would in all probability take care of` the in- terest on the additional debt necessary. I wish to thank the members of the Board for their uniform courtesy and co-opoiation during the year. The following financial statement will explain itself. Respectfully yours, JAMES E.
