the Gypsy and Brown Tail Moth
Inspector for 1911
al Capitol at Washington, D. C., there hangs
that reads "Westward the course of Empire
Well it now seems the course of several
insects are taking their way westward.
id Brown Tail Moth came here from Germany
Les are being imported to destroy both these
moths got here five or six years first, so they
A and have spread nearly one-halfof this
Maine; New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Is-
:ticut::: The:. Gypsy moth has not showed up
u until 1911. Mr.. Parkhurst, the State In -
me to begin the first of October to hunt and
of the Gypsy; moth and look every orchard
in the town, and found in 94 places nearly
eggs; containing 900 to 500 eggs in each
royed them with creosote soon as found, and
11 with white paint on every tree where eggs
near; by the tree in all sorts of places, in
one walla and tin cans, but the greater part
"ound`in the holes of old apple trees, of which
all over town where we cannot exterminate
es are from 3 inches deep to 10 feet. The
96
State Moth Inspector now instructs me to cover with z
nailed in several hundred trees that have holes in them, ne
by where the eggs were found, for there is where the cal
pillars increase fast, and the sooner the owner of decayi
apple trees will cut them down he will decrease the GyI
moth.
The Brown Tail Moths have increased more than ever h
August and September, and we began destroying them t
1st of December, and up to January 27th, 1912, we ha
gathered and destroyed 8,857 winter nests, and there will
about 2,000 more to gather and destroy' before the Ist
April. The foliage of the apple and pear trees is`the
favorite food, but last year they began feeding on the folial
of white oak trees along the highways, along the electr
lights, as the moths fly nights and rest daytime. It is mu(
more expensive to destroy them on oak trees because so mu(
climbing has to be done.
This year, in the spring, many trees will have to be tie

This has been a very eventful year for the schools of Mans-
field. Never have such strides in advance been made in any
one year. Never have the prospects for the future been
brighter than they are at the present. The long pleading
for more room with which the last reports have been filled will
no longer be needed for the present and in addition to that
for which we have been so strenuously asking, namely a new
high school building, we have received from a generous public
that for which we did not ask but can most acceptably use,,
a new primary building at Paine's Corner.
Not to go too much into detail regarding the new high
school building, let me say that it has a large assembly room
which will accommodate two classes with chairs and desks, and
enough more assembly chairs to seat the whole school at one '
time. There are two large class rooms which can be fitted
with chairs and desks for two classes so that every pupil will
have a place to store his books which he may call all his own.
23
There are four smaller recitation rooms, one of which can be
fitted for a drawing room and the others furnished with
tablet arm chairs useful in taking notes in recitation. Ample
provision has been made for the commercial department by
giving it a room as large as the assembly hall, a part of
which is separated from the main room by glass partition
for the typewriters, where their noise will not disturb those
taking bookkeeping and stenography, while at the same time
they will be under the eye of the teacher. Best of all are
the ample laboratories and lecture room connected with them.
One is a physical laboratory and one a chemical. These are
of such dimensions that no matter how large the school may
grow so far as we can at present foresee or how many additions
may be put on to the building, the laboratories will be suf-
ficient to accommodate all. Other rooms are suitable for
manual training, domestic arts and military drill. The prin-
cipal has a room for himself where he can perform the
administrative duties of his office, and the teachers also have
a room to themselves. Provision will be made for cases of
sudden illness. Electricity and gas have been introduced and
as far as possible everything will be made practicable for a
first-class, high school.
The most modern arrangements have been made for heat-
ing, ventilating and sanitation of the building and the ex-
terior appearance needs no words of mine to declare its beauty
and strength. Following is a program of the exercises at
the laying of the Corner Stone, July 4, 1911:

School Committee
The new building near Paine's Corner is an attractivetwo-
room brickbuildingwhich at present will accommodate the
pupils in the first five grades living in that part of the town
which will not oblige them to cross any railroad track to get
to school This section comprises Central' and Chauncy
streets and the streets leading therefrom, but not West street
which will remain in the Green School District.
26
This building has all the modern conveniences including
light, heat, ventilation, and play rooms in the basement.
Already we have found thirty-one in the first two grades
living in this section and thirty-eight in the next three so
that we are assured of two good sized schools at the start.
I wish I could make it plain to everybody what a relief it
will be when we can occupy these two new buildings.
For the new primary school we find 17 at the Spaulding
School, the larger number coming from the first grade which
has fifty-seven; nineteen are in the Central School in grades
3, 4 and 5 which have respectively 57, 54, 57; six are in the
Town House schools where the relief will not be so great;
twenty-seven are in the Green School, where most of them at-
tend the primary school which has 54. When these are re-
moved it will be possible to rearrange the two lower rooms
at the Green giving the primary room two grades on full-time
where now they are handicapped on account of numbers to
part time for the first grade. It will also allow those who
from necessity have been obliged to go to the Town House
schools to return tg their own district. Further, when the
high school vacates the Central Building it will be possible
to make a further change in the third grade which at present
is so large.
We are certain with these facts before the citizens they
will be satisfied that new accommodations were provided none
too soon.
The high school has had one hundred and forty-two mem-
bers during the fall term, which is a splendid record when it
is noted that the entering class was six smaller than last
year, which is not likely to occur the coming year with sixty-
two to draw from. There has been an unusual moving from
town of high school students so that we close the term with
132. The largest increase has been in the Central schools
which have forty-one more than last December; and the
greatest loss has been at East Mansfield, dropping from
thirty to seventeen by removals. Four of these were trans-
ferred from the 6th grade to the 7th at the Center, five others
moved to the Center and the rest left town. Only one is in
the first grade. It is this constant changing about which
causes our supplementary list of those enrolled elsewhere so
large. Last year it was 104.
During the fall term our losses have been sixty. Of these
thirty-seven have removed from town, seven have left because
of illness, ten have gone to work, three have gone to other
schools of a different character from ours, one has been taken
by death, one because under school age, and one for reason
unknown:
TEACHERS.:'.
Early in the year we were called upon to part with two
of the lady teachers in the high school. Miss Litchfield was
called to Watertown and in her place Miss Inez L. Hobbs, a
very successful teacher, was secured and in the place of Miss
Flavin,' another of our own graduates was elected, Miss
Harriet Buck.
At the beginning of the fall term Mr. Everett W. Robin-
son,' a graduate of our high school and of Dartmouth College,
was placed in charge of the English and History depart-
ments. This arrangement has proved eminently satisfactory.
He gained his experience by teaching in Maine for a year
before taking up his work here and he has met our every ex-
pectation, not only in his special subjects but in his influence
over the school, entering heartily into the musical features
as well as athletics.
There have been three changes in the grade schools at the
Central Building, one of which we were forced to make because
of the call of Miss Johansen to Beverly at an increased' salary;
and under conditions with which we could not compete. Ex-
perienced teachers filled all these positions.'' Two changes
were made necessary at the Green School an account of the
resignation of the principal and Miss Harlow, the latter hav-
ing served most faithfully for many years: Mrs. Janes was
returned to her old position as principal and we have had a
school more in keeping with our ideals than for many days.
Miss McChlerie was transferred from the Balcom School
which she did not wish to teach another year and has proved
to be an excellent teacher in her new position. Few schools
are better provided for in the way of teachers than this one,
with its earnest, faithful, well -prepared teachers.. We:, are
glad to record no changes at the Town House or Spaulding
schools.
Every outlying school started the fall term with a new
teacher:: Seldom, however, have we been able to report these
schools as having so many teachers who are normal graduates
and came not as novices. According to the methods now
pursued by the normal schools, the graduates have all had
practical teaching in public schools.
It is with very great satisfaction that I am able to state
that these teachers are proving to be among our very best.
The dread is always hanging over us that such teacherswill
be called away to more lucrative positions with a single grade
in some town or city where accommodations for traveling are
better and where the honor of teaching is supposedly better.
May Iask the indulgence of the patrons of such schools: for
moving such teachers when we have any vacancy that appeals
to them? Rather than that Mansfield should lose the benefit
of their experience and some other town gain it, let us keep
them somewhere in our town. We make such transfers under
compulsion which we cannot always explain to those who are
most interested and feel the loss most keenly.
Seldom have we lost teachers by death while in the service
of the town, but this year Mr. John E. Shepardson, teacher of
music since the spring of 1999, passed on to his reward, Oct.
4. Though feeling ill he made one visit at the beginning of
the fall term but was unable to come again and his work was
soon after done. During these years he endeared himself to
the children very much by his pleasant, gentlemanly manner
29
and the floral tribute which was sent to his funeral was a
small token of their affection.
To fill this vacancy Mr. Bernard B. Nye was elected` and
has already made a favorable impression by his evident
mastery of his subject and pleasant manner of dealing with
his pupils. It was very fitting that Mr. Nye should take up
the work here as he was a pupil of Mr. Shepardson and no
doubt inbibed some of his spirit.
It is doubtful if we ever had a stronger corps of teachers
than the present which consists of five college graduates and
one business college graduate in the high school and in the
grades all have had normal or special training for teaching
with the exception of two or three who have had years of
experience founded on good scholarship.
EYE AN➢ EA$ TEST.
The necessity and advantages of taking this test are ap-
parent erery year. This is especially true of the younger
children. Often the parents are unaware of any defect until
the child comes to school and then it is discovered that sight
or hearing is impaired. In most cases parents- are only too
glad to remedy the defect and attend to it at once. Others
find it difficult' to procure glasses because of the expense.
These should be helped that the education of the child which
is of prime importance should not suffer.
Number attending at time of test 967
Number found defective in sight 108
Number found` defective in hearing 12
Number of parents notified 75
PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST.
The Preliminary Speaking Contest was held in the Town
Hall' on Feb. 10, with `Misses Vera Bradley, Rose' Berg,
30
Gertrude Forsyth, Mildred Vickery, Madeline Hibbert and
Bernard Stearns, Robert Tiffany, Henry Hallihan, Lawrence:
Weingold and Chester Wyllie contestants. Miss Bradley,
Henry Hallihan and Chester Wyllie were chosen by the
judges to compete in the Fifth Annual Prize Speaking Con-
test between the Stoughton, Sharon and Mansfield High
Schools to be held in the Town Hall, Sharon, March 90, 1911.
The result of this contest was that Chester Wyllie received
first prize for boys and also won first place among the nine
speakers, which entitled him to a half -scholarship at the
Emerson School of Oratory, :Boston, Mass. The second
prize for girls was awarded to Miss Bradley.
In this contest; the Mansfield High School Orchestra under
the direction of Mr. Doty, principal of the grammar school,
furnished music. I cannot refrain from expressing our ap-
preciation of what Mr. Doty and his orchestra have done in
so many of the public events in which the High School has
had a part. They have added much to the enjoyment of
the audience and have been a credit to the school because of
their splendid performances. The orchestra has been started'
again this fall with Mr. Robinson as leader. We look for
fine work under his management.
The next contest which is to be held at Stoughton is already
in`preparation with all three schools striving hard for win-
ners. The schools which have the best material and the best
coaching seem to gain the prizes, so that money spent for a
good trainer is well expended not only in the gaining of prizes
but in the benefit which the pupils derive from experts. We
urge a liberal patronage for these contests, as has been given
in the past, in order that means may be provided for as liberal
coaching as possible.
PRIZE DRILLS.
The ninth annual prize drill of Co. A, M. H. S. Cadets
was held Apr. 91. Dr. B. M. Latham presented prizes to
31
the following: 1st prize, gold medal, to Arthur Hodges,
Sergt.; 2nd prize, silver medal, to Chester. Wyllie, Qm.
Sergt. ; honorable mention to Edward Griswold; bronze Fresh-
man medal to Charles Shields.
The fourth annual prize drill of the M. H. S. Girl Cadets
was held May 12. The prizes were presented to the follow-
ing by Dr. B. M. Latham: Miss Margaret M. Arndt, the
winner of the first gold prize last year, received a similar
honor at this drill. Miss Alice Flint received second prize
and Miss Mary Bigelow received honorable mention.
ATHLETICS. '
While not a part of the course of study we welcome any-
thing in the nature of clean sport which helps to develop the
physical. In the game of baseball the High School did them-
selves great credit, winning the pennant and the cup in games
played with five neighboring high schools. Teeter -boards
have been placed on the grounds of the Central School under
the auspices of Parent-Teacher Association with Mr. Doty
as chairman. These have been a source of much amusement
to the younger children and where carefully used have caused
no accident. When used for coasting they are rather hard
on clothing and roughly used may cause accident but so far
the benefits seem to more than compensate for the harm. Not
only are they used in school hours at recess but before and
after school and during vacations. Swings and other ap-
paratus are under consideration and will doubtless be fur-
nished by the association when funds are procured. This
organization starts the new year with Miss Minnie Jackson
as president and is alive not only to the physical but to the
mental and moral welfare of the children as well. Meetings
are still held in the high school room after school hours on
the third Thursday of each month for all parents interested
in the schools.

The girls in the three upper classes of the high school have
taken up basket ball with much enthusiasm.So far it has
been practice with Miss Hobbs in charge but games between
classes are in prospect.
GRADUATIONS.
The Commencement Exercises of the high school were held
in the Town Hall on Wednesday evening, June 21, and ex-
ercises of the grammar school at the same place on Friday
evening, June 23.. Both graduated large classes with evident
satisfaction to the audience which filled the hall.
Of the high school graduates, 'five entered college, seven
continued their studies in other places, eight have gone into
business, several of them using their knowledge of stenog-
raphy and typewriting gained in school, and one is teaching.

CLASS ODE -
Words by Esther Hathaway Winslow.
Music by Dorothy Richardson.
At last the time has come to part,
And we our fond farewells Must say,
Yet deep and dear within our hearts
Will rest the mem'ries of today.
We know not what our path may be
Along the great roadway of Life,
Altho' the future we cannot see.
We'll push "Onward Ever" thro' the strife
We part from all classmates and friends,
And with sad thoughts we say good-bye
To many happy hours spent
In our school days at Mansfield High.
And as we look on distant scenes
Which with fond hopes we do survey,
May they be bright, as the past has been,
With Onward steps thro' Life's long way.
C1IoRUS—
Onward Ever is our motto;
May we keep it day by day,
And with the help of the Great Master,
Never from its precepts stray.

PIeased as we are with material advance, we have looked
upon it only a's a means of greater efficiency and responsibil-
ity to make advance in everything for which schools are in
existence commensurate with the better facilities. To this
end we have labored very earnestly to lay a good foundation
in the fundamentals, laying special stress this year upon
spelling while not neglecting other branches. Our teachers
41
have been very faithful in their attendance upon teachers'
meetings and have contributed much to the general fund of
ways and means. Their reports to me show their interest
in giving general information upon topics outside of their
regular subjects and their subscriptions to teachers' papers
show that they are trying to keep abreast of the times.
In spite of their best efforts many have to repeat the work,
many go to work as soon as the law allows, many do not go
from grammar school to high school, but notwithstanding
the losses many remain and the number constantly increases.
With all that we have, something else is constantly needed.
Paint will wear off the buildings, sanitary arrangements
must be continually looked after, new books must be procured
and a multitude of minor repairsmade, yet we feel that
money can nowhere be so well spent as in education nor any-
where where it will bring more satisfactory returns.
This has been a delightful year to me and I wish to thank
the committee' especially for their unbounded support and
interest in the welfare of the children and the public in gen-
eral for so liberally responding to our needs.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD P. FITTS,
Superintendent of Schools.

Music, the only universal language, the language of the
emotions, can more deeply express the human feelings than
any other; hence its value in the school in aiding the child to
express himself thus broadening his nature.; The study of
the technical side, the science of music in the school is of
mathematical value. For these reasons the importance of
the study of'music `in the school curriculum is realized.
With these ideas in mind it is my hope and endeavor to
provide for and maintain a high standard of work in the

Ninth Annual Report
of the
Municipal Lighting Board
of Mansfield, Mass.
1911
y
Report of the
Municipal Lighting Board
January 1, 1912.
To the Citizens of the Town of Mans field, Mass.:
We take great pleasure in submitting to the citizens of
Mansfield the Ninth annual report of the operation of the
Municipal Lighting Plant, the same covering the year end-
ing December 31, 1911.
The business of the past year has been very satisfactory
and new business is constantly being added.
At the annual meetingin March it was voted that the
amount set aside for the Depreciation Fund be taken from
the receipts of the plant. This was done and the amount of
$2,600.00 was set aside for Depreciation.
At a special meeting' held in June it was voted to issue
bonds to the amount not exceeding $292,500.00, the proceeds
to be used as a Construction Fund for the purpose of pur-
chasing and installing additional generating apparatus and
making such other changes and alterations in the plant as
the Commissioners deem necessary.
4
Acting in accordance with the vote of the town, a large
unit of 160 K. W. or 220 H. P. capacity was purchased and
installed and placed in operation November 15, from which
time it has continued to meet all the requirements demanded
of it. Also a two-story brick addition 18 x 20 feet was
added to the main building. The upper floor has been fitted
up for testing, also is used. as a store room, while the lower
th
e plant.
floor is used as an office for the management of p
The repairs on lines for the past year have been an item
of considerable expense.
The Telephone Company among other changes installed
new poles on twenty or more streets, and owing to the fact
that they and the Lighting Plant occupy in common the same
poles it necessitated the complete rebuilding of the electric
lines on those streets. A greater part of the work is already
completed and the balance will be done in the early spring.
These changes have been very satisfactorily made and should
last for several years without any major repairs.
Upon the completion of the repairs now being made in the
engine plant all the generating part of the plant will be in
good condition and capable of meeting all the demands likely
to be made upon it. .
A perusal of the appended report of the manager will give
you much valuable statistical knowledge relating to the prop-
erty and operation of the plant.
We wish to thank the citizens of the town for the many
courtesies shown the plant and its management, also our
efficient manager, Mr. Geo. W. Wood, to whom we are in-
debted for its successful operation.
For Maintenance and Depreciation Fund requirements of
the plant for the ensuing year we recommend the receipts of
the plant.
WILLIAM H. LYCNs,
D. C. RICHARDSON,
Wm. H. ALLEN.
Mansfield Municipal LightBoard.
GENTLEMEN: —I hereby submit for your consideration and
approval the report of the business, operation and financial
condition of this plant for the year ending December 31,
1911.
During the year the plant, has been operated continuously
with the exception of intermittent shut downs on Sundays in
order to make necessary changes to allow the installation of
the new engine and switchboard parts which accompany same.
We have added 41 new customers and installed 60 new
meters.
The income for light and power was $19,162.78 an increase`
of $1,791.59 over last year, or about 9 1/276.
All transformers and meters necessary to take on new busi-
ness during the year were paid for out of the Construction
account the amount having been transferred from the De-
preciation Fund.
A shaft was broken in the No. 2 engine. This serious
breakdown' increased the cost of Repairs Engine Plant as the
bearings were repaired before the new shaft was installed,
thus leaving the machine in very good shape.
It was intended, as stated last year, to repair the No. 3
engine but it has been impossible to do so on account of the
extraordinary amount of work which had to be done on the
outside lines together with the installing of the new unit. Re-
pairs will be made on this machine very soon.
A large amount of expensive work has been done on a great
many of the outside lines and a number of the lines in the
station. The Telephone Company rebuilt most of their lines
in the center of the town, setting mostly new poles, and as
our wires occupy the same poles it was necessary to practical-
ly rebuild our lines on a great many of these streets. The
work has not been entirely completed as yet but will be finished
up in the early spring. This will put our lines, in general,
in very good shape.
The direct center or business district of the town has been
equipped with duplicate transformers which are ready for use
6
at a few minutes' notice. Thus in case of transformer trouble
the stores would be without lights but a few minutes.
When the new switchboard panel was installed, for the new
unit, it was necessary to change all the wires that left the
station, and as these wires are in conduit part of the distance
it resulted in an expensive change, the cost of which is in-
cluded with the outside work, and charged to the Repairs
Lines account.
There are 379, 32 CP lamps and 32, 200 CP lamps now
installed. I'
I wish to thank the board for their support and kind assist-
ance during the year.
The following data and financial statements will show, the
business in detail.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE W. WOOD,
Manager.
