'The new substation was in 100% operation the first week August 1948, and your Municipal Light Department is now the enviable position of having the switchboard capacity care for all normal increases in load for many years to coax This -improvement in your property was completed at a total co of approximately $103,000 and was financed without borrowh due to wise planning in the past few years by setting aside special accounts the necessary funds. There is, as of December 1948, $25,946.00 of these special funds left in the Depreciati< Fund for future special projects. In spite of the heavy snow storms of January and Februa 1948, the line damage was not large which speaks well for tl stable construction of that part of the plant which is exposed 1 the weather. The New England Telephone and Telegraph Company hf been engaged in an extensive pole replacement program durin the past year which effects us directly because we are responsib] for one half the cost of replacing all jointly -owned poles. M have also placed 57 new solely -owned poles for extensions t new dwellings as well as continuing our street light extensio program. A resume of the financial picture is given below: The "Plant" account shows an increase of approximatel 61 )0 which is due primarily to that part of the new sub - n which was paid for this year. `he "Depreciation Fund" account shows a decrease of ap- mately $28,000 which reflects the payments made this year ie new substation. Material and Supplies", "'General" decreased approximately which reflects the transfer of the cost of poles and wire this inventory account to the permanent asset account .se of the accelerated program of setting new poles for ervice of new dwellings and street light extensions spoken ove. 'The poles and wire have not been replaced because we beencarrying a large stock of them, purchased at lower ,. than now prevail, to use on these extensions as the post - building program developed. let Income ('Transferred to Profit and Loss) decreased from 47.10 in 1947 to $18,225.11 in 1948. This decrease of $15,521.99 be analyzed as follows: Sales for the year for "Lighting and 'Cooking" increased $7,000in spite of the rate reduction on July 1, 1947 which effected one half the year 1947 to the extent of approximately $3,000 but effected the entire year of 1948 to the extent of approximately $6,000. Sales for the year for "Street Lights" inicmeased $2,000 mostly because of the variable rate which must be charged for street lighting in accordance with the 'General Laws, 'Chapter 164, Section 58. As the cost of purchased power increases, the unit cost to be used for billing street lighting increases. The above two items account for the approximate $9,000 increase in total "Operating Revenue". Total "Operating Expenses" increased approximately $24,000, due primarily to the following: The cost of coal, spoken of in last year's report, advanced from $9.37' a ton in December 1947 to $11.94 a ton in December 1948. The constantly increasing cost of this item is the entire cause for the increase of approximately $14,500 in "Production" expense. The approximately $5,000 increase in "Distribution" expense is due primarily to the 'Telephone Company's program of replacing poles, referred to earlier in this report. The increase in "General and Miscellaneous" expense of approximately $6,000 is due to $1,500 62 in General Office Salaries which is offset by a similar reduction "Commercial" and $3,500 due to depreciation increase because the new substation. The net effect of the above items was to reduce Net Inc( $15,521.99 from the 1947 amount. A constantly decreasing pr margin presents a serious condition if no relief is in sight next year depreciation will return from the 5% rate that Department of Public Utilities has approved for the past 1 years, to the normal 3% rate and this will have the effect of creasing profits approximately $9,000 if other conditions rem the same. Also, the cost of coal, which is a variable factor the cost to us of the current we purchase, for the first time t year remained practically the same in December as in Novemk This is encouraging but, of course, not knowing what will hap] to pay rates in a new contract this year between the mine operat, and the miners, this indication of a firm price may be only to porary and the steady advance in cost of coal may bre resun again.

PRESCOTT ROYAL B. PATRIQ'UIN DONALD W. JOY EDWARD A. RICHARDSON G. K. WILLIS Selectmen of Mansfield 65 �nManager's Report John J. Desmond In recent years, and quite naturally because of the turbulent id in which we live, great stress has been placed upon our duty ar nation. -While this is a real and important loyalty, we should fail to remember that good citizenship, like charity, begins Tome,' therefore we must recognize the duty that is ours to )ort our town government, and to do so in an informed and 1 -minded manner. The first and foremost method of working at our local citizen- is_ by attending our town meetings, attending and voting on i -issue as presented. It is a well-known fact that good citizen - participation is the cornerstone of the nation. Municipal services are too often accepted complacently or icized in degree of performance. Few of us realize the effect e services have on our homes and businesses, our health and ,ation, and our safety and recreation. Contemplate if you will a community devoid- of municipal ices. ' What would it mean to you to be without fire and police ;ection day and night, for your homes, churches and businesses? r would it be without safe pure water, or with sewerage rather 1 without it ? How would it be without paved' streets, 'street ts' or electric power for your homes and industries, voting lities, garbage and refuse disposal, snow removal, free edu- on`and the, health, safety and protection of your children? The only alternative to having municipal services without ing for them is doing them ourselves. And yet how many afford to take the time and energy from our normal business arofession to do the job singly, and how without an organiza- such as our municipality can this be done efficiently? There is but one answer: municipal services are an important spensable part of our lives. In as brief a manner as possible I would like to give you a of the high lights of 1948: 1.'" Completion of the electric light sub -station together with 66 the installation of up-to-date equipment. 2. Commissioned new 65 foot aerial ladder truck at cer fire station. 3. Added to fire department a quantity of much needed to -date fire -fighting equipment which greatly improves the effici( of our fire department. 4. Inauguration of a police training school. 5. Reorganization of highway department under a to engineer. 6. Establishment of garage for repair and maintenance motorized equipment. 7. 'The Town was the recipient of two gifts during 19 An oxygen tent from the Mansfield Grange, and a wading p' from the Mansfield Lions Club. 8. Innovation of municipal band concerts at Memorial 1 and a Fourth of July 'Children's Party which preceded a successful playground season. 9. Installation of long-awaited water main extensions. 10. Sewage treatment plants of Hercules Powder Co. Mansfield Bleachery put into operation. 11. Introduction of weekly conferences between town mi ager and heads of service departments. 12. In line with a program for increased health protecti and sanitation for the town, a system for conducting surveys food dispensers was introduced. Only the hard and skillful work of the department hea and other town employees, and the diligent and competent directi of policy by the Board of Selectmen' has kept the Town of Mar field running smoothly and efficiently throughout the year.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT The excessive snow which fell during the winter of 1948 1 not be soon forgotten by the men of the highway department v worked day and night to keep our roads open by plowing, and consequent removal of tremendous quantities of snow. The sults, however, were gratifying in the better than average ri conditions which Mansfield had throughout the unusual wini All of the involved equipment suffered greatly because of extreme weather conditions and the pressure and ,.drive un which they operated. Excessive repair bills for equipment w a natural result. These, however, were lessened somewhat the fact that while the town repair shop was not in actual operat as yet the nucleons of it was in existence, and able to funct so that the speed of repair and return of the equipment to sere proved to be of great value, and a real indication of what co - be expected in the future. A new Quickway shovel (truck mounted for rapid mobilii was purchased. This machine has seen considerable use and 1 proven a decidedly valuable asset to the department. It also 1 helped speed installation of water mains and services as w, A small portable air compressor was acquired and it too 1 proven its value in the short time we have had it. This mach was purchased for the joint use of the highway, sewer, wa and electric light department. The decision to stop loaning or renting town equipment made, and based on several reasons. First, because so loz Equipment may be to set up competition for our local contrac and secondly, because of the difficulties involved in establishi. policy as regards usage, priority, physical care and liability of Safety equipment has been provided for the trucks and :in plowing and sanding. The highway department set up its own garage for the 69 aintenance of its equipment. Parts and supplies have, under ;hedule, been :purchased at the regular commercial discount It has been possible to have available at all times instant s for maintenance and repair under this new program.

Henderson, 'The personnel of the police department consists of a and 4 permanent patrolmen supplemented by intermittent pa men. A review of the intermittent list revealed a shortage of w able men for extra duty. In accordance with general laws, World War II veterans were given provisional appointments p ing a Civil Service examination from which a permanent list be established. In anticipation of this examination a police se was established which provides each man with a complete liminary indoctrination course in police law and activities. this makes for better police service for the 'Town of Mansfie] An active safety program is in progress, particularly in interest of the school children, and in conjunction with this gram life-sized manikins were placed at strategic locati©ns throe out the Town and automatic safety control lights were instE at Paine's corner.

Matters relative to education, state bonus, registration of harges, government insurance, terminal leave pay, mustering pay, and claims against the Army and Navy continue to re - ,e attention. Claims for pensions for widows, orphans and parents of trans of all wars have been worked out by this office, filed in proper government agency, and then followed through if culties have appeared.

Institute at Bridgewater All teachers of grades one to three inclusive, 'attended a two-day institute at Bridgewater State Teachers' College on February 13. 'The purpose of this institute was to study and discuss the "Curriculum Guide for Primary ,Teachers" published by the State Department of Education. Teachers had an oppor- tunity to visit the training school and observe unit teaching. It was decided by the teachers, and the Superintendent of Schools, that some unit teaching should be attempted in grades one to three inclusive. 'The following general units were organized by teacher groups: Grade I —"Living and Working Together" Grade II —"Living and Working 'Together Around the World" Grade III—"Living and Working 'Together in Mansfield" Although the greater part of the teaching in the intermediate grades is subjective, the various subjects are correlated in work- ing out definite projects. More unit teaching can be expected in the future. Teachers' Club Activities The Mansfield Teachers' Club has 100010 membership in its local' group, 1009o' membership in the Massachusetts Teachers' Federation, and is now a member of the National Education Association. Meetings are held each month with the 'Superintendent of Schools attending. 'These meetings are most enjoyable, and are planned to be both educational and social. Mr. Moye, Guidance Counselor at Boston University, spoke at a supper prepared by the high school teachers, in January. In February, Miss Adena Cassidy of Brockton told of < her ex - 89 periences as a member of an all -girl orchestra which toured the United States, Europe, and the Pacific area. In March, Mrs. Warren Hopkins reviewed, "The Pursuit of Understanding." Miss Lindquist of Bridgewater State .Teachers' College, spoke in April on teaching arithmetic in grade schools. At the annual banquet in May, Mr. Edward Grennen of the Norfolk State Prison Colony, talked on penology. Two meetings have been held this school year, at which our speakers have been Mr. Fred Pitkin, of the Massachusetts 'Teachers' Federation, and Mrs. 'George 'Seale of Attleboro. The Club has been represented at the District Federation meeting at Taunton, the Federation Convention in Worcester, and also at the Conference on School and Community Cooperation on behalf ' of children and young people, at Boston University School of Education. 'The members of the Teachers' Club cooperate with their respective Parent-Teacher groups. At present there is about $800 in the Scholarship Fund, available for the use of Mansfield students. Pre -School Handbook A' committee consisting of the School Nurse and four teachers was appointed to prepare copies of a pre-school hand book of information, which was distributed to parents of children enter- ing the first grade. Open -House for pupils who entered school in September, and their parents, was held in all elementary schools, on June 17. 'This enabled the parents to talk over their child's problems' with the teachers, and to acquaint the children with their new en- vironment. I wish to express my appreciation to the School Committee, the teachers, and parent-teaeher associations, and the people of Mansfield, for their fine cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, BERT L. MERRILL REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE MANSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL It is with pleasure that I submit my second annual report as Principal of the Mansfield High School.

The results grades to the high school. Another fifth and sixth grade was 92 added. The building now has two fifth; three sixth; three seventh; and two eighth grades, with an enrollment of '315 pupils as of December 31; 1948. Although the name Junior High School has been eliminated because of school committee ruling, the school still maintains departmental teaching in the seventh and eighth grades which is recognized as progressive education in the adjustment of stu- dents to the high school methods of instruction. Curricula Two changes were made in curricula. One was the in- troduction of a formal course in science, to grade seven, and the other, the introduction of an industrial arts course to boys in the upper two classes. Many articles were made for schooluse among which were bicycle racks, lunchroom tables, etc. ' Instruction was given in home repairs—a practical course for boys. Mr. Eastman has planned an excellent program and it offers many opportunities for the personal use of the boys in the future. New Textbooks New textbooks, latest editions, were purchased in science and civics. Subscriptions to NEWSWEEK, READERS DIGEST, CUR- RENT EVENTS, POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY, were re- newed. Senior Scholastic, a youth magazine was added. It must be noted here that the pupils of the Central School are most fortunate in that they are the recipients of the most up-to�date textbooks and the above supplementary materials.. They are constantly kept abreast of the latest current knowledge in the various subjects. Homework As is customary, pupils in grades 7 and 8, received a regular schedule of homework assignments. Two subjects are assigned each night with an additional one over the week -end. Testing On March 11, Mr. Whitcomb, Principal of the High School, and Mr. Robinson, Guidance Director, administered the California Short Form 'Test of Mental Maturity, for grades ;4 to 8 inclusive, to the eighth grade. Audio -Visual Aids During the past year, educational sound and silent strip films have been shown to grades five through eight. Social and scientific subjects predominated because of the quantity available.. The greatest part of them were free films produced by various, agencies and industries throughout the United States. Our strip - 93 film library is ever increasing. At present, we have seventeen films covering social and science subjects. We need many more and I hope this may be realized in the near future. Again, we must pay tribute in gratitude to the Central School Parent-Teacher Association, for its contribution of a combination radio and record player with cabinet. Many classes have listened to programs especially' designed for education by Station' WBZ in collaboration with the State Department of Ed- ucation. Every morning at 9:4& to 10:00 o'clock programs were arranged as follows: Monday -Current Events of the past week; Tuesday -Geography; Wednesday—Living Literature; Thursday -- Science; Friday—Music Appreciation. The only draw -back to the above is, the inability of all classes to hear every program. How- ever, the pupils gained much by this method of instruction, as was evidenced in the follow-up. Prior to Christmas, a record album titled, "A Christmas Carol" was purchased and audited by every class in the building. This masterpiece of English literature featuring Basil Rathbone as "Scrooge" was enjoyed by all. It is my intention to build up a library of records in the various subjects to supplement classroom instruction. Summing up the above, I have found that audio-visual aids are highly educational, particularly, in the types used at the Central School. Junior Red Cross One hundred per cent subscription was made to the annual appeal of the Junior Red Cross. Athletics' Athletics continued to be our only extra -curricula activity. Regular schedules were played in football, basketball` and base- ball. Mr. Shaw's boys enjoyed an undefeated season in football and baseball. Mr. Brown organized and supervised the Kick -the -Bar League. Cafeteria 'The school cafeteria completed its second successful year under the direct supervision of Miss Tobey, Cafeteria Manager. The program, a non-profit venture, ' s'howed` a very slight profit due to the careful planning on the 'part of the management. Federal aid ` has made it possible, 'through finances and food commodities, to keep the cost of meals at a minimum. We have served, on an average, approximately fifty meals per day. The greatest number of diners are bus students. With the increase of pupils eating in the cafeteria, it be- came necessary to add two more lunchroom tables which. were constructed by the industrial arts class. The room now seats one hundred comfortably. In conclusion, Mr. Merrill, please accept my gratitude for your cooperation and kindnesses during the past years, and extend my appreciation to the School Committee. To my teachers and students, I am most grateful for their loyalty and cooperation in making my administration one of the happiest years . in my educational career. Respectfully submitted, HAROLD L. QUALTERS, Principal ANNUAL REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE I herewith submit my annual report as School Nurse, for the year ending December 31, 1948. Physical examinations for all pupils in the fourth, seventh, and entire high school grades have been completed. With the exception of twelve pupils, all first graders attended a pre-school conference, which was held in May. A resum-e of the findings is now being compiled by Dr. Ockert. His examinations have been based on advance information regarding the family history and the past history of the pupil, previous to the examination. ''Parents are being informed of the major defects through letters and follow-up. The school health examination is one 'of the most effective means of health education. A continuous running; record of the health changes and the. physical conditions of each pupil is placed on file. Physical defects are most common during the school ages. Those which are not correctible are of importance to the school, as they often have a direct bearing on the child's educational progress. Good cooperation and results of remediable defects have been noted this year from the previous year. As a part of the physical examination, a chest X-ray was made of each pupil in the 8th, 9th, 10th, lith, and 12th grades. Many of the school personnel were included at this time. The results showed no cases of tuberculosis present. This survey was made possible through the sale of Christmas seals sold in Mans- , field: One of the major projects of the year was a preschool con- ference for the entering group, conducted by the State Depart- ment of Public Health, in cooperation with the School Depart- ment. Ninety-six' children attended this conference. Eighty-nine 95 follow-up calls were made to the homes in an effort to have corrections made. 'This conference was a satisfactory means of calling to the attention of the parents whose children were about to enter school, the importance of having the child's 'physical condition analyzed. All remediable defects were corrected` during the summer vacation. - A dental survey was conducted by the State Department of Public Health in the High School and Roland Green School. Two dental hygienists, using portable equipment, examined the teeth thoroughly with mirrors and explorers. Members of the P T. A. assisted in recording the findings. Cards were given to the pupils, and were strongly urged to consult the family dentist. A great need for dental care was observed at this time, although many pupils were under treatment at the time. 'The use of the audiometer in the schools is the most accurate hearing test program carried on. This type of test detects any hearing impairment. Re -tests are made of all pupils who show; a hearing loss. Parents are notified of a definite hearing loss in order that medical attention may be provided. The Massachusetts Vision Tester is also an excellent device used in the schools to screen out pupils who have vision difficulty. A dental clinic sponsored by the Board of Health has been carried on for several months, under the direction of Dr. Libby, for pre-school and lower grade pupils. 'The treatment of injuries and sudden illnesses occurring in the schools has been limited to First -Aid. If''' the condition is serious, the family has been notified. Care and guidance is provided for the students. There have been no epidemics of contagious diseases during the year, although cases of mumps, chicken -pox, ; measles and whooping .cough, have been prevalent. Parents have been re- quested to cooperate with the . School Department and the Board of Health, by reporting any contagious diseases by telephone, when a doctor has not been in attendance. Professional meetings of various public health and state organizations have been attended during the year. Conferences have been held with community groups and agencies in securing for children and families such assistance as may be needed` to provide individual and family betterment. In conclusion, I wish to express" my appreciation to all who have assisted in the; health program of the schools. Respectfully submitted, ANNA G. VALLETT, R. N.
