A. W. COBB, Constable of Mansfield. -
The School Committee herewith present their
anual report:
The committee organized in March, with the
choice of T. S. Pratt as chairman and, W. A. Cope—
land, secretary.
Mr. Pratt having removed from town, he was suc-
ceeded in May by Mr. J. E. White, as member of the
committee.
The schools generally throughout the town have
maintained their usual degree of excellence; in some
there has been a marked improvement.
In District No. 4, if the number of scholars con-
tinues to increase at the rate of the last year or two,
it will soon be necessary to provide additional accom-
modations. The First Primary department is already
much overcrowded, and an assistant teacher is greatly
needed; at least during the summer and fall, when
the number of scholars is the greatest.
The new school house in No. 2 was ready for oc-
cupancy at the beginning of the fall term, and is a
credit to the District. It is built on much the same
plan as the new one in No. 3.
It is quite important that the town should make
some further provision for the disposition of truants.
Under the by-laws of the town, the State Primary

mer term to enter upon other work. He was sue-
ceeded by Mr. L. R. Wentworth. The school pros-
pered under Mr. Wentworth's excellent management
for one term. He had just entered upon the winter
term when he left to accept a better position. Mr.
Guild then took charge of the school, and remained
but a short time before he, also, was called to a bet-
ter field of labor; and at the time of writing this re-
port, the school is still without a principal. This il-
lustrates better than any other argument that can be
urged, the necessity of a more generous appropriation
for the High School. The salary of the principal is
now lower than that paid for the High School of al-
most ever town about us and smaller let even than
that paid in many Grammar schools, and, as a conse-
quence, if we secure a good teacher we cannot retain
him. It is impossible for the school to maintain the
standing it should under these circumstances.
The committee earnestly recommend an increased
