Welch 1950 was somewhat of an unsettled year for Mansfield due to the holding of .three special town meetings, a ,change in, man- agers, a lively debate over our crowded school conditions, and I finally the uncertainty caused by .the war situation. Nevertheless,; it may be called a year of progress and growth. Several of our local industries expanded their operations; the dollar value of building construction climbed to an all-time high; , and our assessed valuation increased by almost $150,000. Municipal services expanded, too. Our Electric Light De- partment sold more power 'than ever before in its history, and substantial investments ` in new equipment had to be made to keep abreastof demand. Our Water :Department also did - a peak business, despite a supply shortage and a ban on non-essential uses. By the end of the year,_ our new wells had I been completed, thereby almost doubling our pumping 'capacity. In addition 22;600 feet of new water mains' were installed during the year. Other' public:.works improvements included- commencement of 2,600 feet of; new sewer extensions, the construction of 'a stretch of Chapter 90 road on Pratt Street, the widening of another section of North Main Street, and the resurfacing of 13.5 miles of town roads. Weordereda new 750 gallon pumper for the Fire Department, added a second patrol car and two permanent men to the police force, and painted the Town Hall. Financial operations during the year remained, on a gen- erally satisfactory basis. The big difference from 1949 was that receipts and payments were both greater., primarily because of increased borrowing for water expansion purposes. New loans floated totalled $168,000, and resulted in a net increase of $146,000. in indebtedness `after allowing for payments on older bonds. Everything was not on the bright side, however, and it is not surprising that difficult and controversial problems were en - Pollution of the air and water by some local industries was one of these problems. Fortunately, all of the, responsible firms 5 adopted a cooperative approach to the situation, and we can probably expect considerable improvement in 1951. Another ,problem was traffic congestion in the North Common area due to lack of adequate parking facilities for commuters. Temporarily this situation has been relieved by the free use of Attilio Pedini's lot on North Main Street. However, a permanent solution is still to be found. It was apparent during the year that we have a great need for all sorts of planning activities. We recommend, therefore, the adoption of zoning laws; the development of a capital works pro.- gram ro-gram in anticipation of population `growth and the eventual ob- solescence of present facilities; the enactment of more stringent planning ordinances holding subdividers to their responsibilities for the laying out of new streets and bringing them to proper grade; and the development of a program to encourage industrial expansion in Mansfield. Industry means wealth to a town, for business firms require very few services in relation to the taxes. they pay. As we enter 1951, ,there is considerable uncertainty as to what the future holds in store. Inflation is again menacing us, critical shortages of labor and materials are developing, and the country is shifting to a war economy. All of these factors will present serious obstacles to the rendering of efficient municipal services during the year. - Undoubtedly there ;will have to be a rise in the 1951 tax rate. Higher material costs are already upon us, and higher labor costs seem to be inevitable due to the increasedcost of living. Further- more, our financial receipts from the State will be smaller this year, and our debt payments will be substantially larger than in 1950. In view of this outlook, we have pruned .the budget as much as possible consistent with the rendering of satisfactory services, and the proper upkeep of the town. We have been careful to avoid any practices bordering on false economy, but mindful of the need for improvements, we are recommending appropriations for sidewalks, off street parking spaces, a new ambulance, neve road machinery, a better highway garage, and the preparation of zoning, water, and assessor's .maps. The details of the town's operations for 1950 are presented on the following pages in narrative form arranged by departments. We hope that the new presentation will help .everyone to obtain a quick and accurate picture of his local government. 6 Treasurer's and. Collector's Dept. Treasurer and Collector Ethel M.

New bonds were issued in the amount of $168,000 for water expansion purposes, and $22,000 worth of old bonds were retired. The latter consisted of $10,000 in school repair bonds, i$9,000 in sewer bonds, and $3,000 in water bonds. Tax collections in 1950 were about on a par with past years, and the relatively small amount outstanding at the end of Decem- beT was almost the same as a year earlier. Probably few people are aware of the large volume of work that the 'Treasurer'sand Collector's ` Department performs each year. During 1950, for < example, we wrote over 16,000 checks, collected nearly' 40,000 bills, and prepared 'almost 9,000 tax state- ments. 8 Municipal i i Department Superintendent . John D.

Profits are now at the maximum level permitted under State law, but increased costs of labor, materials, and fuel are likely to keep them below the limit in 1951. B larger profits were the result of a $33,000 gain in revenue n part by a $17,000 rise in operating costs. Domestic ption accounted for $16,000 of the total gain in revenue ndustrial demand accounted for the remaining $13,000. teresting to note, however, that on an actual kilowatt hour ie degree of increase was just the opposite; for industrial increased by 1.2 million kilowatt hours as compared with ion for domestic demand. 00 rise in operating costs is due primarily to the lore kilowatt hours from our supplier and to the F a `, set of blueprints and card files covering, our plant. f the rising demand for electricity a substantial 9 amount of construction work was required during the year. Some of these projects include the installation of three 1000 KVA transformers, mostly to take care . of increased residential con- sumption; installation of four new induction regulators for voltage control purposes; installation of necessary electrical equipment for our water pumps at West Mansfield; and the running of 46 new services. For 1951, it is planned to install three new 1667 KVA trans- formers to provide for an increasing industrial demand;. install new lines to the Attleboro pumping station and the C. A. Richardson factory; and continue our program of installing line capacitors in conformance with our supplier's insistence that we improve our power factor. When the new industrial transformers are installed we will have ample reserve for any future demand that might occur in the foreseeable future. Detailed accounting statements for our light department will be found in the appendix. 10 Water and Sewer Department Superintendent Joseph Albertini Consumption of Water in Past Ten Years 5.10 M"1IL.LSO K GALLONS 470 430 3� 350 310 270 .:....230 1990 1942 9993 8984 1946 VP46 1947 19gS 1949 050 1950 was an exceptionally active year for the Water and Sewer Department, due , to a peak demand, a critical supply ' shortage, and extensive new construction activities. Consumption of water during the year was 31 per cent more than in 1949, and over double the 19,40 amount. It would have been still greater except for the crippling effect -of dry weather on our 'supply, and a resulting ban on some non-essential uses. The ban lasted from July 26 until December 6 when the com- pletion of three new gravel -packed wells raised our daily pumping capacity from 1.5 million gallons to over 2.5 million gallons, thereby providing water in abundance. The total cost of the wells will be approximately$125,000. According to our consulting engineers, the underground water supply at the West Mansfield station is practically inexhaustible. It seems, therefore, that money for pumps and pipes is the only limitation upon any, further expansion of our above ground supply that might become desirable. the new wells, four miles of new water mains nging' the total mileage up to 52+ for the whole .cted were Atwood, Winter, Mill, South Walnut, tearns Avenue. 'The total cost of the extensions $40,000: Owing in large part to the heavy demand, water opemations were on a very satisfactory financial basis during the year. Revenues increased by $12,392 or 25 percent; while regular ex- penses increased by only $2,875. The distinguishing- feature of sewer operations during the year was the commencement of 2,600 feet of new extensions for Park Street, Eddy Street, North Main Street, and "Liberty' Street at a total cost of approximately $13,000. Due to .poor weather conditions, and a late start work was stopped after construction of about 1,200 feet, but it will be continued early next spring. Infiltration of ground water and tree roots into our sewer mains through loose joints continued to be a serious problem throughout the year. We have contracted for a study of this con- dition and sometime in 1951, we expect to make recommendations for its solution. New services installed during the year totalled eight (8) form sewers, and fifty-five (55) for water.Last. year's ;figures were ten (10) and seventy-two (72) respectively. Water services re- newed totalled forty-three (43), the same as last year. We are recommending the purchase of a new pick-up truck for the water and sewer department in 1951. This has been made necessary by the rapid growth of the; department in recent years, and to the desirability of reducing uneconomical usage of the heavy truck for light work. 12 tligh ay Department Superintendent Walter Love Major Highway Activities Figured in Approximate Man Hours of Work Per Year RESPRFACUAG O PE RP.Tto NS Ru68tstz COLLECTiON MAN440VMS r;2 3. 3 90 6 a 5W314CVTTtNG 1222 ROA o .PATCH tN G OPERATIONS !4$y WINTER MAINTENANCE 1988 STREET SWEEVING 9956 REPaat3 pug To WATt R IriS`!'A�,tATtONS ! 2'S4 pRAtl�iAG£ ? O Highway department operations in Mansfield are devoted primarily to maintenance problems. During 1950 we resurfaced 13.5 'miles of roads in continuation of a five-year program begun in 1949; repaired extensive damages due to the installation of new water mains; made further progress in cutting bushes; and carried out many other routine duties. Foremost of these was rubbish collection, accounting for 18 per cent of all manhours worked; street sweeping, accounting for 9 per cent; and winter maintenance claiming` another 9 per cent. The remaining working hours were divided among miscellane- ous activities such as patching holes in streets, cleaning catch basins, painting traffic lines, correcting drainage problems, hauling loam to Memorial Park, adding chemicals to the Rumford River, and transporting the oxygen tent as needed. Two highway projects were let out on contract during the year. One was the reconstruction of approximately 1,200 feet of Pratt Street under the State's Chapter 90 program, whereby the town. pays only 25 per cent of the cost. The other was the widening of a section of North Main Street from Villa Street to the Co- operative Bank, thus eliminating serious traffic jams in that area. 13 Due .to the mild weather, winter maintenance costs during the year were below average, and the amount of money spent for hiring outside plows was only $757.00, as compared with an appropriation of $3,200.00. In 1951, we intend to inaugurate a program for reconstructing a few town streets each year, and for widening some sections of our narrow country roads. Our budget recommendations this year call for; a $7,500.00 appropriation for badly needed sidewalks; the purchase of two automatic sanders, 'so as to render faster sanding service on slip- pery roads in the winter, and to speed up tarring operations in the summer; and the replacementof worn out machinery ,with new units including two trucks, a light ;grader, and a sidewalk plow. The poor, condition of the heating plant in the highway garage, and the lack of adequate shelter for some of our equipment also deserve consideration. 14 Welfare Department Social Worker Dorothy Johnston Total Welfare Payments for Past Ten Years e�4! 1942 1943 1944 1946 1946 '1947 1946 1749 1990 Welfare activities are dependent primarily upon .State Laws and employment conditions over which we have no control. During 1950 `there was no unfavorable change in either of these factors and the number of people receiving aid was practically the same as in 1949. As of December 31, we had 132 cases receiving Old Age Assist- ance, 5 cases receiving Aid to Dependent Children, and 13 cases on General Relief. Cases in the latter category were due almost entirely to illness with unemployment only a minor cause. Chiefly because of sharply higher medical expenses, welfare costs were generally higher in 1950 than in the previous year. The average cost of Old Age Assistance cases increased from $53.15 ,per month; to $59:95, while average General Reliefcosts went from $6210' up to 1$72.44. Both of these increases are in line with costs in other towns. it Children payments were the only ones to the average monthly cost per case dropped to $124.40 in 1950. 'The responsible factors Federal Grants, reductions in allowances due oeial Security laws, and a small reduction in 15 Except for rises in the cost of living and the prospect that the State will order higher payments, the outlook for 1951 is generally favorable. The one big uncertainty concerns Old Age Assistance. If the new law voted by the people in last November's election is put into effect, it may increase our present costs by over $2,000 per month which is equivalent to about $3.00 on the tax rate.

Garland The Buildings and Grounds Department had the responsibility for the maintenance of the Memorial Building, Town Hall, Fisher Richardson House, two commons,eight cemeteries and Memorial Park. - Aside from routine repair and maintenance work, major pro- jects accomplished during the year were re-loaming Memorial Park, extensive alterations to the Town Hall's heating system by an outside contractor; and a considerable amount of painting, in- cluding that performed for other town departments. At present our ,public buildings are in fairly good condition so far as preservation goes, but in some instances painting and refinishing are necessary for; appearance's sake. After reseeding next spring, Memorial Park should .be in better condition than for for several years past. 1950 was the last year of existence for this department, as its functions and personnel have since been combined with the High- way Department.

There was a satisfactory attendance throughout the season. On two occasions the house was opened for special groups. The Rotary Club members, thirty-three in number, were there on September 5. After a picnic lunch under the Tree of Friendship, planted in 1933, by Rotarian Wensley T. Humble of Mansfield, England, the men inspected the- house and contents, some ad- mittedly for the first time. On September 12, the old home was opened to receive the Committee of Antiques of the Brockton Woman's Club. The collection of interesting items is increased every year. It now numbers about one thousand. Some very good pieces were added from the estate of .the late Mrs. William A. Copeland.

This good record was due primarily to small fires rather than to any reduction in number, as calls did not diminish appreci- ably. During the year 102 calls were answered by the department as compared with 137 in 1949. A new 750 gallon Maxim pumper was ordered during the year, but since delivery can not be made until ,March or April, there was no outward 'change in equipment. At present our trucks consist of the following: Aerial truck, purchased in 1948 Seagraves 500 gallon pump, purchased in 1937 Seagraves750 gallon pump, purchased in 1918 Ford Combination` 500 gallon pump, purchased in 1941 Chief's car, purchased- in 1949 A Reo combination' unit, purchased in 1929 (housed in West Mansfield) Aside from age, all of this equipment is in excellent condition. 23 PF There was again an active demand for the ambulance, and 244 cases were handled with a total distance traveled of 6,500 miles. 'This is a considerable increase over the 181 cases in 1949. There were 12 calls for the oxygen tent, 22 calls for the de- mand mask, and 2 calls for the resuscitator. Permanent men made 62 night and day service calls an the oxygen tent and demand Inspection Services Estimated Value of New Building Permits Issued in the Past Ten Years mask. 4,00 'THOVSAND DOLLARS .�30 'The morale of the department continued on a high -plane during the, year, and the cooperation of both regular and call men 300' is sincerely appreciated. Z5o For 1951, we are recommending purchase of a new ambulance, as the one now in use has been the source of numerous break- 2100r downs and high repair bills. w We are also requesting money to perform needed repairs on 1pa, the Central Station's roof, and for a new fire alarm air compr(wsor to replace the present one which is old and inefficient. 5o 24 tgwt 19"?. 1943 19&(d 19.15 19&16 1947 194.5 /949193 9 ctor of Buildings .

Mansfield Public Library Circulation of books and magazines From library 36,258 Through schools 4,520 West Mansfield 1,729 42,507 Books added during the year By purchase 1,046 By gifts 34 1,080 Registrations Adult 372 Juvenile 194 566 Total registrations to Dec. 31, 1950 is 2,197. 26 In July the new Memorial Desk was put into use. There are still some adjustments to be made by Mr. Nielson, and before long hope to have the old desk removed and some new book stacks added to relieve some of the crowding. Two new magazines have been added, the Consumer's Report and Consumer's Bulletin, which have been very helpful to many people. Expect to .get a nurses magazine, helpful to high school students. Mr. Homer Forbes contributes the Photography Magazine after he is through with them. Many have found these magazines very useful and interesting. The sum of $50.00 was given to the library by the Organ Committee of the Universalist Church, which is now the parsonage of the Episcopal Church. The money to be used for music books. The purchase of these books has not been completed. One hundred and fifty-seven books have been rebound by the F. J. Barnard & Co. During the year 309 new books have been added to the Chil- drens' Room. The new Landmark Series has been added to the Juvenile 'Section. Written by well known authors; they ,give the boys and girls a wonderful understanding of how their heritage of American ideas and ideals was forged. This fall our story hour was discontinued due to the new school schedule for the first and second grades. During Book Week 200 new books were on display at the library. For the year there has been as increase in circulation over the desk of 5;620 books, due to the fact that the library, has had more money to spend for books. For the past two years the in- crease in circulation has been 11,829 books. Our main interest is to provide our readers with as many new books as it is possible to do so. The results have been gratifying. Dean ,K. Howerton William A. Fox Emma Hall Mildred Morse Wallia Reisman, Chairman 27 Assessors' Report Warren L. Hopkins, Chairman Assessors I. Louis Baldini George S.Yat From year to year, the routine work of this Department does not change much. However, each year our tax burden increases, and we are constantly endeavoring to adjust values so that an equitable tax may be levied on each of us and no one will have to pay more than his share of the burden. In so far as Real Estate is concerned, we have had our share of new building in Mansfield, although not so many "Housing Projects" as most other towns- in this vicinity. We have tried to assessthese new buildings on a fair basis in comparison with older construction. It is not an easy task. A lot of the old types were built to really last, while a lot of the new building is being ha§,til-y constructed due to the housing emergency. For this reason, the additional Real Estate Valuation has not added to the total taxable valuation to the extent that the amount on the, building permits would indicate. We have lost some valuation, too, from fire. But in spite of this, we have had an increase in the valuation of taxable Real Estate in Mansfield each year until we have finally reached and exceeded the eight million dollar mark. None of this valuation has been inflated to the best of our knowledge. Also, we try to find each year as much new tangible personal property as possible. We find it bard to increase this source of revenue as each year more and more personal property becomes -exempt from local taxation, as firms become incorporated. It is for this reason you are being asked this year whether or not you have a television set. We are looking everywhere for some means of relieving Real Estate by even a small part of the large burden which it now carries. For doing our various duties, we feel that this Department has been given some of the necessary tools to do a good job. We have a very modern system of writing up our valuation books and bills by machine method. But there is one thing that we need very badly. A very important thing. Something that is now very necessary and was necessary even before these writing machines were invented. A good Map System. This would be of the utmost help in our work, to you who question your property lines, and to the people who hope to come into our community. 28 During the year, Mr. Royce B. Poland left us. He has been our Chairman since 1945 until October of this year. The Board of Selectmen appointed Mr. George Syat to finish his term, and the new Board has chosen Mr. Warren L. Hopkins as their new chairman.

Lincoln Pai State Audit Report—Summary As required by Chapter 44 Section 40 of the General Laws a summary of the essential features of the Audit Report of tha Division of Accounts for the audit of accounts for the period fron April 2, 1949 to July 5, 1950 is presented. All receipts, disbursements and records of all depar were checked in detail and found to be correct and in good Three recommendations were trade: 1. That the guaranteedepossits on municipal light acount be placed in the custody of the town treasurer. (This has bees done to satisfy the technicality of the law but the method use, for all the past years was much more efficient.) w 2. That past due accounts for town property rentals be settle by Collection or abatements. (On those properties for which ren is billed, this has been done. On one account, cooperation by th, employer of the tenant has resulted in bringing the account to ; better condition and on the other past due account, the Selectmei approved an abatement—this was for airport rental in 1948 a $500.00 per month which was adjusted to the equivalent of $300.01 per month). 3. That a vote be taken by the town authorizing disposa of old equipment that is sold or turned in towards the price of nevi equipment. (An article for this will be in the warrant for the 1951 Annual Town Meeting.) Town Accountant Town Accountant H. Lincoln FFi an�cial Summary for 1950 In accordance with Chapter 41 Section 61 of the Ge Laws of ,Massachusetts and Chapter 4 Section 1 of the By-: of the Town of Mansfield the required financial reports, in d of the 'Town Accountant are printed in another section of annual report. 32 However, this year we are endeavoring to give an over-all summary of the finances of the town in brief analytical statements, charts and tables. Below is given a brief story on general finances, on Water . Dept. finances, - on Light Dept. finances, tables and charts for receipts and disbursements and tables of eleven year's operating results for the Water Dept. and the Light Dept. with an analysis of the last five year's tax rates and a comparison of certain figures for a group of towns. We hope this presentation will help the property owners ` of Mansfield, who are the stockholders of this eight and one-half million dollar enterprise, to a better understanding of what has happened financially during 1950. General Finances - Cash': Thecash balance increased during the year by $50,000 repre- senting the excess of receipts over payments. This increase is due to a $40,000 increase in unexpended balances of appropriations ($15,000 shown by comparing 1949 and 1950 Balance Sheets for unexpended balances and a $25,000 debit item in the 1949 Balance Sheet for 1949 appropriations that were voted after the tax rate was set and so were levied and collected in 1950) and a $15,000 increase in .the Excess and Deficiency balance with an offset of $5,000 in miscellaneous balances.

WATER DEPARTMENT FINANCES ,see special statement for Water Dept. Fin. for the last 11 yrs.) 'dater Department receipts of $62,436.32 were the highest in istory with ordinary earnings of $21,493.25 being reduced ecial payments of only $2,960.21 to a net figure of $18,533.04. our new well fields and mains in operation, next year's Sts should be higher but we will have to start paying off our for this expansion program at the rate of $15,000 a year, L will reduce the net earnings. 35 M Light Department Finances (also see regular and special Municipal Light Dept. Earnings increased from $29,000 in 1949 to $45,000 in 1 or a net increase of $16,000. This was due to a ' $33,000 inere in .revenue, minus a $17,000 increase in expenses. Value of our plant increased ,$18,000 due primarily to a $15,00 expenditure for a new bank of transformers. Cost of fuel, stated in berms of a net ton of coal was fairl stable for ithe first time in recent years. The December 1949 figur was $9.20 compared with $8.99 in. December 1950. This is a ver important item in the cost of our purchased power as our rat fluctuates because of a "cost of fuel" clause as the above figure change. Net earnings of $45,000 is the limit that will be allowed by th Department of Public Utilities. This is based on theirformul of allowing maximum earnings of 8% before requiring rate reduc tions. In our case, 8% of an original cost of $535,145.27 is approxi mately $43,000. Any higher earnings will necessitate rate reduc tions but, if construction work for our line crew is lessened fror, the heavy 1950 load, the maintenance work will be increased whic will reduce earnings. Also, increased costs of materials and supphe will affect the earnings for 1951.

In other words, none of the Water Dept; eceipts have been diverted to other enterprises. No action by the Legislature has yet been taken to put water epartments on an independent basis such as lighting departments re now on. It must be kept in mind when studying municipal statements, xcept ' for light departments, that they are on a strictly cash asis as required by state finance laws so that depreciation of lant is not reflected except when replacements are paid for. 39 Summary of Municipal Lighting Department Profits For Last Eleven Years Tot.. 2,923,454.78 2,610,730.58 312,724.20 131,100.00 Net Income transferred to reduce -tax rate ................ 131,100.00 Profits retained for im- provements & extensions $181,624.20 At a $250,000 valuation, property taxes would have been ...................................... 94,350.00 Amount used to reduce tax rate in ex- cess of estimated tax that would have been paid by a private power company ...................................... $36,750.0-0 Net income above for 11 yrs. $312,724.20 Taxes at a $250,000, valuation 94,350.00.

Mansfield has followed a conservative policy of retaining a ittle more than half the profits for improvements and extensions (beyond the 3% allowed for depreciation) and using the excess to reduce taxes. This policy has kept our plant in good condition i,nd allowed us to expand without borrowing. hf is interesting to note that in eleven years we have - con- tributed an additional $36,750.00" to reduce the tax rates more than wouldhave been received in property taxes if the plant had been privately owned. This could' be called a distribution of profits to the owners, who are the property owners in our case. At the same' time our rate of earnings have been below that allowed by the D.P.U. so that our consumers (property owne-s and renters alike) have :benefitted by economical rates.

Mansfield has followed a conservative policy of retaining a ittle more than half the profits for improvements and extensions (beyond the 3% allowed for depreciation) and using the excess to reduce taxes. This policy has kept our plant in good condition i,nd allowed us to expand without borrowing. hf is interesting to note that in eleven years we have - con- tributed an additional $36,750.00" to reduce the tax rates more than wouldhave been received in property taxes if the plant had been privately owned. This could' be called a distribution of profits to the owners, who are the property owners in our case. At the same' time our rate of earnings have been below that allowed by the D.P.U. so that our consumers (property owne-s and renters alike) have :benefitted by economical rates.

Interest and Maturing Debt have been applied to i group for which the loan was made. Amounts voted from E. & D., etc. for particular proje, do not affect the tax rate but in order to reflect a prof comparison, the appropriation has been included in t group involved and a "minus" figure shown as the h item in order to balance with the tax rate. This is change from the method used in last year's report the above figures for 1,946 through 1949 will not comps with those presented last year but we feel the meth used this year is a refinement and presents a me correct comparison. Receipts due directly to a group activity have been appli , to that group. w The portion of the State Income Tax receipts. that w based on school statistics has been applied directly "Schools". The balance of the State Income Tax receipts has bei applied*to all groups except "Schools". 'The . amount of Meals Tax received from the :State h, been applied directly to the OAA group. :The Electric Light Dept. transfer voted at town meetin Corporation Tax receipts from the State, Auto Exci; Tax receipts, Poll Tax Receipts, Licenses and mi cellaneous receipts have been applied to all groups.

The "Amount .Raised Per Capita" is the best com- parison but even this does not take into consideration what is being done for ,the money. The questions immediately arise, does this town have garbage and rubbish collection, does it have new schools or other municipal buildings for which it is paying, does it have water and sewer extensions for which it is paying and most m - portant are improvements being ,paid for on a "pay-as-you-go" basis or by borrowing? Also the facts back of the valuation figures have a bearing. For an example how much industry and summer property is in the particular towns being compared? 42 43 A perfect example of this condition is a comparison of Manses field Town clerk and Walpole. Walpole has only a 1500 greater population tha Mansfield but a valuation of twice the amount because of thea large industries. Their 1950 tax rate was $6.40 below ours becaus own Clerk H. Lincoln Paine of this valuation but .the per capita figure for them of (83.02 is ou of line with ours because their papulation is out of Iine with valua y Births tion. At best the figures show only a general picture. ecorded in the Town of Mansfield from January 219 1950 through January 16 1951 Total of 157 Born in 1950 anuary 4 Peter Claude Picciandra Claude C. and Marie A. 3 Michael Laurence McGrath Laurence P. and Barbara M. 5 Kathleen Markt William J., Jr. and Martha A. 8 James Keven Higgins Leo C. and Myrtle R. 0 Nancy Ann Keane John A. and Arlene M. 0 - Victor Cutillo, Jr. Victor and Dorothy F. 4 Edward Peter Terenzi Arthur J. and Mary L. 4 Frank Michael Todaro Frank J. and Elide C. 4 Martha Elizabeth Alden Arthur W., Jr. and Harriet J. 6 Girl` 7 Janet Ann Dow Wesley H. and Marjorie E. 8 Robin Lee Strese Robert L. and Mary J. 8 Craig Stephan Macomber Heywood B. and Virginia I. ebruary 2 Paul Henry Marsden David H. and Mary E. 3 Joan Elizabeth Lombardi Edgar A. and Anna A. 6 Paul Ernest Plausse Charles R. and Alice L.

I -trust that this rather factual %entation will be satisfactory under these conditions. I do wish state, by way of preface, that it is a distinct pleasure to work the town of Mansfield; my relationships with all have been ;remely pleasant, and it is very evident that the citizens of Lnsfield are interested in a sound educational program for their ldren. It is my keenest wish that my services may -prove satis- :tory and :that these services will be toward the goal of pro - ting better and better education for our children. As in every* school system, there are major improvements to considered. 'The School Committee has instituted a new policy health and physical education during the coming year. In this v program all children will receive instruction in health and ve the opportunity' to participate in more recreational activities. e School Committee has discussed similar major ,program changes ;h as guidance ' and remedial . reading. However, each major Inge ;requires careful preliminary study and very definite con- eraJtion of a community's ability to pay. By careful planning, its can be minimized, and it is a policy of the SchoolCommittee ask the citizens only for the financial support that will 'allow children to get the --best possible education that the Mown, ;rally, can afford to buy. We will be extending our guidance )gram somewhat without asking for additional financial support this time. With comparatively minor additional expenditures will have a thorough, health and physical education program Kt year. 63 Our buildings will be crowded and, therefore, teaching ditions are, and will continue to be, far from ideal. At the of this writing, the world unrest seems to be increasing tensity. School building programs, therefore, may be dec curtailed and even prevented. It seems only a truism that p facilities may have to be made .adequate at least for the c year. With over -crowded classes, it is again only a truism that. individual attention to students becomes. -increasingly di I am confident that the ,public is aware of these condition spite of these somewhat inadequate facilities, I shall make effort to bring continuous internal improvement to your sc and I have every confidence that under the capable direction School Committee, the staff and faculty will continue to rai level of education in the town of Mansfield to higher and 1 points of achievement.

ANDERSON, Superintendent of Schools' 66 MANSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL REPORT January 1, 1951 major aspects of the developments at the high school ie year 1950, are summarized below. I am indebted to ty of the high school for their cooperation in preparing irt, 'since my term of office as high school principal only from September through December. I have chosen e developments under headings of school activities. Academic Activities ng 1950, `few academic changes were effected. A half ,ommercial law was reinserted in the commercial curricu- cooking class for boys was discontinued; driver education )duced. The latter course is taught in a formal class' one week, and practical driving lessons on the road are given sol hours. program of studies is now divided into three basic patterns; reparatory, commercial, and general. While the first two quate for student and community needs, it is our intention ;then the general course, within our limited facilities, in [pt to satisfy those who are not _interested in college or ral field trips were arranged to supplement classroom >n. Members of the class in problems of democracy visited ;ewater State Farm. The senior stenographic group in - ;he modern offices in the new John Hancock building in Freshman business pupils toured the New England Tele- o,mpany building in Boston.. Members of foods classes to Henry. 0. Peabody School in Norwood. Girls interested tg and dietetics visited the Sturdy Memorial and Brockton Wheaton College was host to another group of girls who the annual riding meet, toured the campus, and were a tea. ..oject in town government was initiated. Members of the iss assumed the positions of the various town officials for Student members were appointed to the Board of Select - School Committee and attended meetings of the two boards. Guidance view of the history of the 1,950 graduating class reveals eresting facts. This class had an enrollment in the 9th 67 grade of 72 students � (51 girls and 21 boys) . Of these 72 sit, 56 remained to graduate in June, 1950. Thus, the class students between the freshman and senior years. Of these 11 outs: 1 graduated with a later class 4 moved to another community 9 dropped out at the 9th grade level 1 dropped out at the 10th grade level 1 dropped out at the 11th grade level 0 dropped out at the 12th grade level It is evident that most students who left high school di( the 9th grade level (further study has revealed that this ha the case in most classes) . Of the 9 who left at the 9th gr the 1950 class, 5 were girls and 4 were boys. The unusual is that only 2 left their class during the next three years o school. This 1950 .class actually graduated 59 students -3 l entered as transfers from other high schools. The members 1950 class, according to the latest tabulation, ark employ follows: College ............................ 7 Special training schools 7 - Schools of Nursing ........ 3 Office work ....................18 Shop or factory ........2... 8 .Military Service ............ 6 .Store Clerks ................ 3 Married............................. 4 General work ............. 2 Unemployed ................... 1 It is evident from the above figures that the Defense Progra the Selective Service Act are having their effects on the live occupations of these young people. Everything possible is done to aid' them during these uncertain times.

The ,ted only ,eriod of ;den the intended eness of ve .them -mth, in itaneous tinually the in - ton was high VI access in the pupils e. The teacher's role is one., of removing as many obstacles as possible except the Pupil's imaginative and original solution of the problem. The many excellent crayon drawings, fingerpaintings, water colors, and clay models produced during the year in .the lower grades was gratifying. However, in the departmental 7th and 8th grades, even where art is an elective, the students find it more difficult to utilize artisti- cally the beauty of life around them. They present a wall of realism toward themselves. All subjects become factual. Their critical ability develops faster than their manual ability and .the disparity discourages them. There hasn't been time. enough in our part- time art program to completely overcome this discrepancy. Yet, there were definite limited gains made at this level during the year. Drawing of objects increased the students' keenness of observation and the factual quality of their work. The study of color scales and color mixing gave their work more variety. And more emphasis was placed on the handling of tools to increase their ability. By the use of a variety of mediums- and planned project lessons, the students :were able to improve their manual ability and at the same time widentheir' mental ,concepts beyond factual realism into more emotional viewpoints. In the high school the art course is designed: to prepare all the, students to use, understand, and enjoy artistic creations in daily living; to develop within many of the students a desire to pursue artistic avocations; and to aid a few talented students to prepare for entrance into professional art schools. , To meet this need the course was as varied as possible, :integrating the fine arts and the commercial approaches. The class projects were seat up to as closely as .possible simulate those met by professional artists. In this way the students should be able to understand the problems of creating in the art field. Originality of expression and clarity of design are' the criteria to be attained. There was basic work to improve drawing skill and mastery of tools'; there were exercises to stimulate imagination through color and design, and there were projects to be solved with ideas. The excellent examples of posters, paintings, advertisements, murals, and sculp- ture were a _direct result of the talent and interest shown by the high school students. In June of 1950, an exhibition of art work by all the grades was held in the Town Hall.

LAW Art Supervisor ANNUAL REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE January 1, 1951 Mr. Gerald W. Anderson, Superintendent of Schools Mansfield, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Anderson: 'The health program in the Mansfield schools during the year 1950 has been conducted along lines similar to the previous year. Health examinations of all pupils in grades 1-4-7 and the� entire high school have been completed. Written reports of the findings have been sent to the parents when defects needed the attention of the family physician. Physical defects are common during the school ages and many are correctible but require efforts to persuade parents to seek remedy. Those that are not correctible often have 'a direct bearing on the child's educational;'' program. `This examination is one of the most effective health education procedures. A cumulative record of the helalth changes and physical condition of each ;pupil is on mile. The main purpose of the health examination has been not to make a diagnosis but to review the hearth status 1 of the child. During the ' past years attention has been given to the examin- ation of children previous to their I enrollment in school.. Eighty' children ,have participated .in ,this ,conference and progress has been made in making the parents conscious for the need oftheir children to be .free t of,` remediable defeats on entrance to school. This pre-school conference was held in April. and' was sponsored by the Visiting Nurse Association in cooperationwith the School Department. Vision .testing by means of the Massachusetts Vision Tester has been completed in all the elementary grades.. Personal contact. has been*. made. with . the parents in securing diagnosis and treat- ment of those. failing the test. 74 By means of the audiometer, the hearing tests are now in progress. It has been noted ithat many cases of pupils having a slight hearing loss have been due to congenital causes or the sequal of communicable diseases during the pre-school age. Parents are informed of any existing condition and medical aid is advised. During a recent community tuberculosis survey, the entire student body of the high school and the school personnel were given chest X-rays. It was pleasing to note that the readings were re- turned as negative. The regular weighing and measuring of the pupils has been a classroom project. It has acted as a useful educational device for interesting the pupils in their own health and growth. Routine visits have been made during the :year to all schools for check-ups of the children and conferences with principals and teachers. Group and individual talks have been offered to girls in the senior high school. An explanation and demonstration of the audiometer was given to the parents of the Roland Green PTA during the year. Sudden illnesses and accidental injuries occur from time to time. The school is responsible for ,the emergency handling but not responsible for the treatments. Medical aid has been called and parents notified when the occasion arose. A close relationship exists between the school and the. Board of ;Health in the control of communicable diseases. During the year 21 cases of chicken -pox, 4 of whooping cough, and 34 of mumps have been reported of school children. At a recent diphtheria prevention clinic 150 lower grade pupils received toxoid booster doses to extend their, immunity from previous treatments. In closing I would like to state :that one of my most' important contributions to the schools has been my close' 'relationship with the teachers, _keeping them alert to, and informing them of, health conditions, of the children, home' conditions and family problems involving health.
