REPORT.
TO THE CiITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF MANSFIELD:
In accordance with the requirement of law, the
School Committee submit their Annual Report of the
condition of the Schools.
SCHOOLS.
We do not know as any one school has excelled the
others in progress. We believe that all receive all vmour
ade
a good degree of Improvement, an
commendation.
All the schools the past year have been in session a
greater length of time than usual in consequence of
the increased appropriation made at the last March
Meeting. And this additional time is apparent 'I2
the increasing interest and progress by the scholars in
o sufficient reason
their various studies. There is n
why the town should not make, an appropriation for
school purposes large enough to have the various
schools in session at least nine months in each year.
And your Committee earnestly hope that the day is
not far distant when the citizens of the town will vote
for such an appropriation. The towns around us are
giving this matter more than ordinary attention, and
as there is no reason why we should be 'behind our
neighbors, let us see to it that we are not found there.

TEXT BOOKS.
No change has been made in the text books, for a
number of years, and we believe that it would prove
highly beneficial to change the Readers and Geogra-
phies. The present books in those departments have
been in the schools a number of years, and are now
somewhat obsolete and behind the times. The rates
upon which publishers offer to introduce new and de-
sirable books are so favorable that the expense of the
change would be light, and we believe that the inter-
est of the scholars demand the change.
PUNCTUALITY.
If parents would insist upon a more prompt, punc-
tual, and constant attendance of their children at
school, the almost numberless black marks upon the
Register against their names would be avoided, the
teachers' duties lightened, and the progress of the
whole school would be more apparent. A'punctual
scholar will grow up <a punctual man or woman, but a
scholar who is not punctual will not be likely to be
very prompt in after life. Particularly would we im-
press upon the minds of parents the importance of in-
sisting upon the presence of their children during the
closing exercises of the school. On examination day
the teacher, committee and visitors depend upon the
scholars, and if only half are present the impression
is unfavorable.
SCHOOL -HOUSES.
The schoolhouses in Dists. No. 7 and 8 still stand
as monuments of antiquity ; but much as we venerate
the worksof the fathers, we believe that these two an-
cient seats of learning could be parted with by us
29
without regret; and if the two district
solidated, and a new schoolhouse creel
venient point, we are confident that
would prove a very profitable one. T
houses are in good repair, and with f
the one in Dist. No. 4, large enough
wants of the several districts,

The High School; under the cha'
