NOTE. -Justice to Superintendent Drape seems to require
tbatsome explanation of the unusually large= balance against
the almshouse. should be made. The loss < of: a'valuable cow
and the depreciation in the value of a horse bought last spring,
account for $210.. The value of the silo, and the extra quanti-
ty of manure on hand (neither of which are taken into account
in the settlement)will approach $200 more.:: The number of
inmates has averaged about two more than last year, and from
3 age or infirmity, they are of very little 'assistance in the work,
either indoors or out. This has necessitated' the hiring of con-
siderable help. In addition to this, Iast season was remarkably
dry, and the crop of vegetables on the farm'was almost fail-
ure, rendering it necessary to buy at high: prices for an average
family of 11 persons.: Various minor expenses incident to the
starting of the milk business, have also helped to swell the
amount. 'Mr. and Mrs. Drape: have labored faithfully. and
looked well to the comfort of the inmatesunder their charge.
The condition of the farm is also cont nually improvinj, as is
shown by the large quantity of hay in the barn, after carrying
R stock of sixteen cows and two horses through the winter.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF MANSFIELD
FOR THE YEAR 1882-83.
REPORT.
In compliance with the law the School Committee
herewith submit their annual report :
While the schools have not made the improvement
that was expected and desired during the past year,
the committee are gratified in reporting that all have
made some progress. Those that have been known
in the pastas "our best schools" continue to main-
tain their right to this title, while others, that from
variousreasons were not in a satisfactory condition.
finder different management' have made great im-
provement.
At the opening of the spring term the committee
secured Mr. A. 0. Tower as principal' of the High
School, whom they have been successful in retaining
during the entire year. Under Mr. Tower's efficient
management the school has made' marked' progress.
With regard to the room occupied by the High
School, it is sufficient to say that it still sustains its
well-earned reputation' for being one of the most un-
comfortable' and inconvenient school -rooms in town.
Complaints regarding its condition have been numer-
ous, particularly' during the winter terms The expen-
diture of a small amount of money would probably
have improved it somewhat; but in view of the fact
that the rooms devoted to school purposes in the new
I
4
town building were so near completion, the commit-
tee did not feel justified in expending any money in
repairing the old room.
The proper heating of the school buildings now
owned by the town, is a matter to which the committee
would call the attention of all interested in the com-
fort of both teacher and pupil.;
The heaters in the school buildings outside of the
Centre district, are in every case stoves adapted for
burning wood, and generally so placed that when
there is any fire, the vicinity of the teacher's desk is
almost unendurable on account of the heat, while at
the opposite end of the room, in moderately cold
weather, pupils suffer from the cold -
The pupils have a right to expect that the school
rooms will be as comfortable as their homes.
Under the present arrangement of heating by wood -
burning stoves, they are obliged to spend a good por-
tion of the morning session, which should be devoted
to their studies, in getting thoroughly warmed.
If a continuous fire were keptup in the school-
room, there would be no good reason why the schol-
ars could not be as comfortable at the opening of the
morning session, as at any time during the day.;
A properly, constructed. modern'. coal stove, by
which a fire can be maintained day and night, in com-
bination with some simple and effective system ofven-
tilation, is the best and only satisfactory means of
making the present school buildings comfortable.'
In the matter of 'ventilation, very little has been
s
done. In not a single school building in town, the
No. 4 or Centre house excepted, is there adequate
provision made for ventilating the rooms without
opening windows and doors It is true that some of
the school -rooms have registers in the ceiling that let
the warm and foul air into the loft above; but as
these are in no case connected with ventilators- or ex-
hausters in the roof, the air descends as soon as it is
cooled below the temperature of the school -room, to
be again inhaled by the pupils.
Every school -room should be supplied with a suit-
able number of ventiducts, properly connected with a
ventilator or exhauster in the roof. The ventiducts
should be fitted with registers or valves at bottom and
top of the room, either of which can be opened or clos-
ed, as the condition of the room demands. There'
should also be provision made for the indirect admis-
sion of pure air from the outside, by means of small
registers, which can be closed if necessary.
A school -room, however warmed and ventilated,
should at the close of the daily session, be thorough-
ly ventilated by opening windows and doors, and al-
lowing the outside air to circulate freely through the
room, freeing it from the close; stuffy condition, com
mon to most school -rooms during cold weather.
The committee have noticed with pleasure, that in
a few of the schools the teachers have been fully alive
to the importance of furnishing their pupils with pure
air, and have thoroughly ventilated the rooms at re-
cess, following it after the school is called to or-
der, by light gymnastics for a few minutes toward off
6
any danger of a chill while the room is 'returning to
its normal temperature.
It is hoped that the appropriation for school pur-
poses will be sufficient during the coming year to
make some changes in the heating apparatus of the
school buildings in which a change is most needed,
and also provide some, if not all with an effective sys-
tem of ventilation.
