AUDITORS'
4AUDITORS' REPORT.
The Auditors submit to the town their annual report
for the year ending Feb. 28, 1891.
Tile books and accounts of the various officers have
been examined, vouchers compared and found correct, and
the balance in the treasury is four hundred and sixty-four
dollars and twenty-sevea cents. The very brief time al-
lowed to the Auditorsfor the examination of accounts,
books and vouchers, is a strong argument for the making
of the fiscal year close as early in the year as Feb. 1st.

ROAD COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
At the regular town meeting held in March the follow-
(i ing Commissioners were chosen,: A. D. Ding for threcr
years, J. Al. Atwood for two years, and S. E. Scholes for
U.'
one year, with instructions to purchase a stone crusher
,I and drinking fountain, in addition to their regular duties..
3
II The sum of $3,500 was appropriated for repairs of roads
and bridges, $2,000 was appropriated for the purchase of
�i a stone crusher, acid $150 appropriated for a drinking
jfountain.. The Commissioners were also instructed to
build a street leading from Horace to Spring street, as
[ laid out by the Selectmen. The sum of $150 was appro-
priated for the building of the street, and $250 for the
payment of land damages.
As soon as convenient the Commissioners held a meet
-
111g and made choice of A. D. Icing for chairman, and S.
E. Scholes, secretary.
Although no instructions were given by the town as to
the division of the money, much the same plan has been
I followed as heretofore.
In regard to the stone crusher, your Commissioners,
i`
by writing to and visiting places where stone crushers
were in use, tried to inform themselves in the matter as
best they might; and however much your Commissioners
may be deserving of criticism in regard to their purchase
and location, we fail to see, all things considered, bow we
could have done much better. A platform scale has been
purchased for the more convenient weighing of the stone..
3t may seem best in the near future to put in an elevator
4I� and screens in connection with the crusher, which will era-
a
31
able the crustier to be worked to greater advantage, and,
do away with much labor in shovelling, and permit the
use of any number of teams, without necessary delay, or
being in each other's way.
The length of the new street leading from Horace to -
Spring is 777 feet, and was raised much of the way from
12 to 18 inches.
In the latter part of October Mr. Icing resigned, and
Mr. D. S. Spaulding was appointed to take his place for
the balance of the year. In the work of the year we have
tried to do the work that most needed doing, and would
recommend an appropriation of from $3,500 to $4,000 for
the coming year. We respectfully submit the following
report :

a
a member of the Board ever since the Library was estab-
lished. *Mr. Borden was always an earnest advocate of
the idea of providing the public with hood reading mater,
and was much interested in the Library from its begin-
ning. Mr. I. W. Lucas was chosen by the Trustees to fill
the vacancy.
There have been added during the year 130 volumes,
making the total number 2338, not including duplicates.
The additions are classified as follows: Fiction, 44;
Juvenile, 22; Miscellaneous, 47; History, 11; Star
(Reference Books), 7. Printed leaflets containing a list
of nearly all the new books can be obtained at the Library
upon application. flames of, new books which are not on
the printed list are posted in the Library.
Although the accommodations for reading -room use
are quite limited, the Trustees voted to subscribe for some
of the leading magazines, and to provide a suitable table
on which to place thein for public use. They accordingly
subscribed forthe following: Harper's Monthly, Centu
ry,
Scribnei's, Forum, and Scientifle American. Other Maga-
zines and papers are occasionally contributed,allof which
are placed on the table for the use of any one who wishes
to read them when the Library is open. A reading -room
well supplied with the usual reading matter would be
much appreciated by many.
Fifty-seven volumes have been re -bound, and some
which were worn out have been replaced by new copies.
A few of those which were worn out were not regarded as
of sufficient merit to warrant replacing.
a

The entire number of books given out during the year-
is 10,450, an average of 151 for Saturday and 58 for Tues-
day. The average classification of those taken out on
Saturdays is as follows: Fiction, 102; Juvenile, 36 ;
Miscellaneous, 7 ; Biography, 3 ; History, 2; Poetry, 1.
Cards have been issued to 70 new borrowers during the
year.
The receipts from sale of catalogues and for fines -
amount to $32.
The Trustees recommend an appropriation of $400 for
the ensuing year for the support and maintenance of the
Library.

ANNUAL REPORT
or xIm
SCHOOL COMMITTEE,
F TH.
TOWN OF MANSFIELD
FOR THE YEAR 1890-91.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
The progress of the fifteen public schools in Mansfield
during the past year has been quite as satisfactory as
could be expected under the circumstances in which they
have been placed, that is, without the special care of it
competent superintendent. '
While they have had, with few exceptions, excellent
teachers, thoroughly devoted to their work, and earnestly
striving to make their several schools, and to become
themselves, successful, there is not one of them who could
not have done better work by having the co-operation, as-
sistance and suggestious which such a superintendent could
Give. Nor do we think there is one of them who does not
feel the need and who would not be glad of such supervision.
For the more experienced and advanced a teacher is, the
more is he or she alive to the still better results to be attained
by the help of one trained and fitted to assist and lead in
the improved methods of school work. Each member
of your Committee has other duties, and no one, or all of
them together, can give the time and mind to the schoolsl
which they must have to become what they might and
should be.
\ 4
We regrat that, uwiutia to the failure of other towns to
accept the provisions of the act providing for the forma-
tion of districts to secure, through State aid, such super-
vision, we could not carry into effect the vote of the town
' last year. Other towns about us are now moving in this
i
matter, and there is every prospect of union with one or
more of them, and of having a superintendent the present
year. Your Committee refer to this subject because they
are clearly of the opinion that no other thing is so impor-
tant, fully believing that a comparison of work done in
schools with such supervision with work done in those
without it, will demonstrate this beyond question. `Vise
supervision also tends to bring about a better understand-
img all around between teachers and scholars, parents and
teachers, and to promote discipline, to smooth down,
rough places, to adjust matters of difference before they
develop and become unmanageable.
In school -house No. 1 the needed repairs have been
made. Other houses have had some little repairing done,
so that all are in a fair condition except No. 4. As to
that one, we have had official notification by the State Po-
lice that better ventilation must be provided. Action.
against the town has been delayed on account of the
vote of the town to build, but cannot be prevented unless
there is something done about it.
The need of more space and better accommodations in
the center of our population is obvious to all. Obvious-
ly also, good supervision, good teachers, good school-
houses, good books and implements to work with, on the
one hand, which are provided by united consentandactior
Of the town, are not all we need to secure good schools,
Obedient, faithful, good scholars, furnish the stock, the
web and woof of the schools, and to provide these, each
parent and each citizen must take an interest in the spirit-
ual, moral and mental character of each home from which
come the children to be taught and educated and elevated
in our public schools.
Duringthe Fall term Dr. W. L. Hallet, finding him-
self unable -lo attend to the work as be felt it should be at-
tended to, resigned. In justice to him it should be noted
that be made no charge for his services during the previ-
ous year, which in part accounts for the fact that Mans-
field paid its School Committee less than any other town
of its size. His place was filled by the election of W. A.
Copeland, Esq.
The table of statistics tells of each school's teacher dur-
ing its several terms, etc., and further particulars are here
omitted. Your Committee respectfully recommend the
appropriation of $8,850.00, the same as last year, which
is believed to be sufficient to cover the cost of the Com-
mon Schools, high School, text books, repairs and inci-
dentals, and also to include the town's proportion for the
services of asuperintendent.
