Ater of Transmittal
Board of Selectmen, and Citizens of Mansfield:
ease accept this as 'a report of the affairs of the Town for
ar 196E
is the custom, you will find detailed explanations of the
s activities under the reports of the town departments. I
like to limit my comments to those areas which I think
I deserve special consideration by the Town.
,evaluation I am repeating what I said hold true or because
until our
ime holds true today and will continue
to tax structure is revised. Like any other business, your town
>endent upon revenue to accomplish the services that aretre-
I of it. The greater majority of this revenue, app
ely
is raised directly through the property tax. Theoretically,
=rty taxes represent each person's fair and proportionate
of administering the affairs of the town government. There -
the assessment of property is the scale that determines a
�nlsfair' share, and it is of the utmost
would be delinquenth
;smn
�sment be as equitable as possible.I
luty if I did not use this medium to- tell you that I believe
most important project for the Town to undertake is a re-
E:tion of the property assessments. This should be done as
as possible to correct the inequities that presently exist and
ent i the magnification of these inequities as the cost of run -
our town increases. I firmly recommend that major capital
ays, with the exception of emergencies, be suspended until a
kluation is completed.
Civil Defense I do not intend to create a state of hysteria
this regard, but we must all be realistic enough to face the
s. A quick review of the history of the world, and we could
limit ourselves to the last half century, should give us a true
ication' of the apparently uncontrollable desires of men and
ions. Almost all of our eligible voters can remember the
aplacent "it can't happen here" attitude that prevailed prior to
irl Harbor. At that time there was some justification because
the wide expanses of sea and air and what we know now,
kited progress in the field of weapons. This is no longer true'
.5 ,
and it appears that the desires of men and nations have nc
changed, but even then we came awfully close to defeat becauq
of under estimation and the failure on our part to appraise th
obvious facts.
Civil Defense is not a function that we can leave entirely 1
our Federal and State governments. We ARE these government
and therefore should accept individual responsibility to guarantE
our safety and independence. What do we gain by planning f.(
the future if we ignore those things which can prevent the'futui
from being ours to plan? I have recommended in the past th
we get into this business full-time, and I intend to continue'
stress it.
Respectfully submitted,
Paul J. Flynn, Town Manager

Chief of Police, N. Lawrence D'Afile
You will notice that there are a number of cases ila pending.
wi hit
y include, prowlers, malicious damage toproperty,
run 'property damage accidents, some larcenies and some
.eable entries into homes' or other establishments. Almostla
ss are cleared during the fiscal year, but some may
taker or two depending' on the information furnished' to officers of
department.
Some of the cases still pending could be cleared more quickly
the public would furnish this department with information
ich would be kept confidential.
Some investigations are time consumingrcen es led offiersand without results
t .
r example a lead on one of our recent la
)rcester, Mass., then to Sharon, Stoughton, Walpole and Nor-
,od, Mass. An estimate of about 20 hours was spent on interro-
ting suspects. Much time has to be spent before good results
L- obtained, and in some cases we have to work many more hours
fore a case is closed.
This of course is not the end. A person who is arrested must
brought before the Court and properly charged with the crime,
id officers and other witnesses must testify against the criminal
ith evidence obtained during the investigation. ,
We are striving to make this community a better place to
ve, free' from organized crime and corruption. This can be ac-
)mplished with the cooperation of you, the public.

that time, they said that they estimated that it would be the
19
last part of 1961 before the building was completely vacated and
ready to be sold.
The prospects for the sale of this building in 1962 are ex=
cellent. The occupancy of this building at a high percentage of
capacity by one or several firms will be a good stimulant for the
town.
During 1961, we did some direct snail solicitation. Several
personal solicitations were also made. One of the manufacturer
solicited is interested in building a new plant in Mansfield. Thi,
manufacturer would employ an estimated 100 employees witt
prospects of increasing to 300 employees. Unfortunately, at th(
time of the writing of this report, the representative for this
manufacturer has been unable to purchase land at the site the)
selected. We sincerely hope that the owners of this land wil
reverse their decision not to sell to this manufacturer. Beside;
this manufacturer, this whole area has great possibilities of at
tracting many other industries. A request has been made to the
planning board to extend an already existing Industrial Zone whicl
would result in the building of a warehouse and another enter
prise moving into Mansfield.
The services of a professional firm has been secured to desig
promotional materials for our use in 1962. These materials wi]
probably include direct mail advertising with follow-up brochure.
Plans are also being developed for advertising signs to be erecte
in strategic locations.
Route 95 may not be ready for use until after three year
and 495 may be not in use for several years, but work in thes
areas will continue.
In our opinion, the outlook for development for Mansfield
1962 looks good.

ual- Meeting of the Mansfield Housing authority was
ruary''6, 1961, with the following officers elected:
firman William R. DeBaggis
Chairman Albert L. Collins
isurer John J. Rotella
t Treasurer Warren A. Reed
At this same meeting Warren A. Reed was welcomed as the
few board member to replace Anthony J. Bruno, resigned mem-
ier. Mrs. Helen E. Jackson continued as State Appointee until
'he expiration of her term on October 18, 1961, at which time she
was reappointed for a period of five years, term expiring October
L8, 1966.
As of June 1, 1961, a new Management Program was insti-
tuted for Project #200-1, Veterans' Housing, Eddy Street, where -
ay tenants assumed the responsibility of their own gas consump-
tion. _ , One vacancy occurred during the year at the . Veterans'
Project, with one month's rent loss.
At Project #667-1, Housing- for the Elderly,- Cedar Court,
Wilson Place, two vacancies occurred by reason of death, with
ane -half month's rent loss. A few practical pieces of; outdoor
furniture were purchased for the shaded picnic area. Painting of
axterior trim and gable ends of the five buildings was deferred
to the spring of 1962. Granite curbing was installed on the!°south-
arly end of Cedar Court to prevent erosion of the land. Wild
cherry trees were cleaned out on railroad property along the
westerly boundary to eliminate a caterpillar infestation. The
entire area, particularly shrubs and trees, were sprayed to. prevent
Japanese beetles from again ravaging the Court. On August 14,
L961, the Mansfield Housing Authority authorized the issuance,
sale, and delivery of notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$264,000.00 to The Chase Manhattan Bank & Associates, with the
State Street Bank & Trust Company of Boston as the paying
agent.

come and cannot afford the type of housing best suited
needs and, therefore, are living under unsafe and sub -
housing conditions. To be eligible for this housing a per.
meet the following requirements:
1) A person must be 65 years of age or over ( single individ',
uals living alone or couples are eligible) .
2) A person. must be a citizen of the United States (excep-
an alien who has served in the armed forces of the Unites
States and who has been honorably discharged and pro..
vided application has been made for citizenship and alien:
eligible to receive Old Age Assistance).
3) A person must be of low income. In general the annua'
income of a single individual not to exceed $2500, and the
annual income of a couple not to exceed $3000.
4) A person must be in need of good housing.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
It is with pleasure that I submit my second annual report:
Superintendent of Schools.
In my second year in Mansfield, there is little to say in reg
to our school buildings in addition to what was mentioned in
report of 1960.
s of September 1962, we shall need space for an additional
I grade class as well as space for an additional special class.
s of the school year of 1961-1962, many of our elementary
g have thirty-four to thirty-six pupils. These numbers are
ag up and at many grade levels, an additional class will have
added in the immediate future. This problem is the warning
approaching need of double sessions.
have repeatedly stated that I shall use every administrative
? at my command to keep children from suffering from the
. tnr ac of double sessions.
following improvements or additions have been made
the year 1961:
The many disadvantages and handicaps of our old buildings h School
are still with us, and as Hig —35 desks and chairs for the eighth grade wing.
Yet there is no answer in sight for new 8'x10'x8' freezer for the cafeteria.

Central School and tBuilding Inspector's request. —Painted main corridors and six classrooms.
o meet the State
—New one -ton truck purchased.
that we replace all present glass in transoms and school doors with
wire glass.
Although we moved the seventh grade out of the high school
building as of September 1961, we still have to use the cafeteria
for study hall purposes. The assignment of high school classes,
eighth grade classes and two special reading class groups will pre-
sent a serious problem in the high school building as of September
1962.
Our present elementary grades are very advantageously as
signed as follows: Park Row School, four seventh grade classes,.
four sixth grade classes; Central School, four fifth grade classes,
four fourth grade classes, one special reading grade five class and
one special class; Roland Green School, three third grade classes,
two second grade classes, three first grade classes and one special
reading third and fourth grade class; Spaulding School, one third
grade class, one second grade class and two first grade classes;
John Berry School, one third grade class, one second grade class,
and one first grade class; Paine School, one second grade class and
one first grade class.
School —Repaired and braced roof timbers.
—Floureseent lighting installed in four class-
rooms.
—Improved the electrical wiring system.
New gas water heater for the cafeteria
kitchen.
New dishwasher installed in the cafeteria
kitchen.
—New sink and cabinet installed in Special
Class classroom.
—Installed a master program clock in the office.
Installed new electric clocks in all classrooms.
Painted walls and ceiling, installed chalk-
boards in the basement art room.
Park Row School —New entrance doors and hardware for the
east entrance.
—New master program clock for the office.

-12 new secondary clocks throughout
building.
—3 physical fitness climbing ropes for
gymnasium.
—New lockers for the girls' shower room.
—New fan -type heater for girls' shower 1
Spaulding School —Replaced (in part) old water pipes.
Mansfield's greatest and most pressing need right now
building to house twenty classrooms of elementary school chi]
I sincerely believe that we have improved our stands
dress and discipline, especially in the high school. The elem
school children have made great gains in home work and
habits.
With the establishment of a summer school for one hunt
children withreading difficulties, we have done much to meet
many problems that existed due to reading difficulties.
As of September 1961, we started four classes for one hum
Pupils with difficulties in reading. Approximately twenty of
one hundred pupils have been returned to regular classes,
most of them are showing the benefits of the special help
received in reading.
It seems that the set up of these special reading classes
become an established part of our system, but the number of p
in such classes should reduce over the period of time.
The most outstanding advancements in our system during
present school year result from the homogeneous grouping
departmentalizing of grades four through eight.
This has enabled us to teach to the learning levels of the
children, to advance those who are able to advance, and to give':
the necessary time and materials to all children according to their
needs and abilities. This system also allows us to assign teachers
to the subject areas in which they are best prepared, and in which:
they will do their best work.
The Rinehart system of penmanship is now established in
es one through seven. As of September 1962, this system will
xtended to the eighth grade.
.:the Lyons -Carnahan system of phonics has been established
woFlad in our elementary grades.
The McCormick-Mathers spelling work books have been es-
ished in grade two through eight.
iThe Ginn basic readers have been extended upward to the
,in grade.
:One great problem of our system is the pressure that parents
,times bring upon teachers to pass their children when the
dren are not ready for the next grade. It is my hope that the
tints will leave the decision of promotion or retention to the
iol staff, and not attempt to give their children the serious
Bicap of going on to a grade for which they are not prepared.
ay of our present reading difficulties are caused by this situation.
During the year of 1961, we have added many library books
t supplies to all classrooms on the elementary level. It is in-
ded that this program will continue.
In conclusion, I ask you to think objectively on the job that
school staff is doing at the present time, and realize that no
3erintendent will be able to completely make up for some of
situations and problems of past years.
A school system is most truly a reflection of the community
serves.
It is my hope that the people of Mansfield will see themselves
�orably reflected.
I suggest that you read the following selected quotations of
administrative staff, to obtain more detailed information in
zard to our school system.
QUOTATIONS FROM THE
REPORT OF THE ELEMENTARY SUPERVISOR
"Our elementary school curriculum is based on a strong
ing program. In the primary grades; that is, grades one, tw
three, we have established standards for promotion whic:
teachers use as a guide toward the evaluation of a pupil's s
to do the next grade's work successfully. If I may become
explicit, in the first grade there is a definite progression frog
pre -primer to the primer, and finally to the reader of the
grade. The vocabulary in each book is based upon the on(
viously used. If a pupil is not reading in the second half c
reader and everything else being almost equal, it is best to t
this pupil. If not retained now, the pupil will become furth(
hind as the chronological grade level increases. This is one (
major reasons we have established the special reading class
order to stress reading at the level where each pupil is, ai
strengthen his ability in reading. If we stick closely to our s
ards for promotion in reading, and each teacher at grade
takes the pupil where he or she is reading, we will have i
pupils in special reading classes and fewer special reading cl
in the future."
QUOTATIONS FROM THE
REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL, PARR ROW SCHOOL
"This year we are fully departmentalized, not only in g
seven, where this might be expected, but also in grade six. U
the departmental system, we were able to give each subject
rightful place in the curriculum, Reading, Mathematics, Hist
Geography, Science, Language, Spelling and Penmanship
taught each day, five days a week. The program is rounded
with instruction once or twice a week in Physical Education, .
Music and Instrumental Music, when the latter is elected.
"Our present closed or single session adds to the smooth
and efficiency of the learning process, as well as being an a&
istrative improvement. One session eliminates the necessity
many students to make an added trip home, and back to se
again at lunch time as formerly prevailed. We gain, too, in
comparative ease of the students in picking up their studies n
more quickly in classes immediately following lunch. Time
viously wasted in travel is now better spent in learning."
QUOTATIONS FROM THE
REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
ace September, the Junior Wing has housed two special
(one for grade six and the other for grades seven and
the four eighth grades and three of the ninth grades. The
class for seventh and eighth grade students enables the
;ers that need remedial work to have an opportunity to
ie standards for promotion. Here careful attention is given
i pupil, and he is encouraged to more effort so that he can
fly
fill his place at the proper level. Students have been
am this group to the eighth grade and vice versa. We con -
his a successful project and hope to continue it. In the
sixth grade class, students are prepared through remedial
ares to advance to grade seven.
