Public Library Trustees
To the Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
This year the trustees present a cUfferent sort of report.
Usually we have stressed the figures of the past as something to
live up to or surpass. This year the items of last year are given
merely as a matter of record. Instead of looking back we must
hold high the torch to light the future. Figuratively there must
be no "blackout" at the Library.
We cannot expect as much adult reading. Men and women
are tool busy with defense work of one form or another. Yet we
must not fail ahem when they do want books. Some will need. {
books for relaxation and uplift; others will want up to,, date
technical books' and books on the world situation. We must not
fail them.
Above all we must build up this year where we fell down
last year, namely children's books. In 1941, for the first time in
seventeen years, we held no children's Book Week. We lacked
the money to buy the necessary books. In spite of lack of new
books and the worn condition of the old ones, the circulation of
'books in the schools increased. The children, our future voters and
community workers, have time to read now. Let us give them
the best books and enough!
On Wednesdays, during the school year, the library is open
at 12:00 for the benefit of ;children who come on school busses.
At certain times during the year the reading rooms become
study halls for high school and grade pupils doing ;assigned work.
One of our teachers, Mrs. Clara Kennedy of West Mansfield,
carries' her work into the summer. Besides opening her home for
book circulation, she makes weekly "book wagon" trips with her
own car. Last summer she covered one hundred miles in this
work.
As usual there were special' exhibits from time to time in
the library.

Albert H. Bagioe as Chairman and Mr. W. Roger Bond as Clerk
and took action upon the following items:
Acting as a Board of Survey we approved the lay -out of
Norton Grove.
The Board requested the Selectmen to petition the Massachu-
setts Department of Public Utilities for gates at the West Sreet
railroad crossing and for better' lighting at all railroad crossings.
Studies were made for a fire station at West Mansfield and
plans were submitted with suggested location as well as estimated
cost.
The Planning Board discussed at length many problems such
as widening of streets, eliminating curves, and drainage conditions,
which we hope will receive attention in the near future.
Respectfully submitted,
W. ROGER BOND,
Clerk

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To The School Committee and Citizens of Mansfield:
I submit herewith my seventh _ annual report of the public
schools.
Throughout the land our schools are dedicated to teach the
children our American heritage. There is no more appropriate
time than now to teach them that the freedom and privileges
they enjoy were won by courageous ,men. Democracy must be
defended by spirit, word, and deed.
Faculty Changes
Mr. Addison B. Craig was elected principal of the Senior High
School to succeed Mr. R. Vernon Hays. Before coming to Mans-
field, Mr. Craig was principal of the Major Edwards High School
at West Boylston, Massachusetts.
Mr. Raymond Jenkins, former teacher at Williams Commercial
College in Brockton, was elected teacher of commercial subjects
in the Senior High .School, to succeed Mr. John Wall.
Mr. Wilfred K. Bradbury, principal of the Roland Green
School, was granted leave of absence by the :School Committee,
to enlist in the U. S. Naval Reserve. Mr. Maurice E. 'Rucker was
selected to fill the position. Mr. Rucker formerly taught at Mat-
tapoisett.
Mr. Thomas C. Bennett was elected teacher of Algebra, ,Latin,
I
127
I�
and English in the Central Junior m.or High School, to succeeed Mr,
Earl G. Pithier Mr. Bennett was a former teacher at Eliot, Maine:
Mrs. Mary Jackson Danahy resigned her position as third
grade teacher in the Roland Green' School, and was succeeded by
Miss- Mildred Pilkington, who was transferred from John Berry
School, where she was a teacher of grades three and four.
Miss Marion Gallipeau was elected teacher of grades three
and four at the John Berry School. She was formerly an elemen-
tary teacher at Bellingham.
Miss Marjorie J. O'Keefe was elected part-time supervisor of
art to succeed Miss Barbara Harris. Miss O'Keefe is a graduate
,of The Massachusetts School of ,Art.
Miss Barbara Swenson, the new physical education instructor
for girls in the Senior High School, replaces Miss Sally Merrow.
Miss Swenson is a graduate of Bouve-Boston School of Physical
Education.
Mr. Charles Phillips, janitor of the 'Senior High School, and
Mr. Edgar Palmer of the Central Junior High School, resigned toji
accept defense work in local industrial plants. Mr. George Davis
succeeds Mr. Phillips, and Mr. William Eastman succeeds Mr.
Palmer.
Professional Improvement
The teachers attended the Bristol County Teachers' Association
at Fall River in October. The general session was held in Durfee I j
(Theatre. Rabbi Stephen Wise of New York City delivered the
address. Sectional meetings were held after the lunch hour in
various buildings.
Several teachers completed advanced courses during the past
year. Five of them took a University extension course entitled
"The Teaching of Science in the Elementary Grades," conducted by
the State Department of Education. Two, 'completed evening
courses at the Boston University Graduate School of Education,
and one teacher was granted her bachelor's degree in education
from the Fitchburg State Teachers' College.

Music
.The all -school band made is first appearance in uniform at the
the football game with the Foxboro HighSchool, adding much to
the annual event. Money is still available in the school music
loan fundand the band fund for the purchase of musical: instru-
ments.
Art
Since September, drawing in the first six grades has shown'
marked improvement. The children have studied and drawn from
nature. They are learning the principles of color harmony ' and
value, thus becoming familiar with and skillful in the use of the
various drawing materials.
'The Junior High School art classes have spent a great deal
time doing work for the local Red Cross chapter:
In the Senior High School, the pupils made attractive posters
for the`Senior Class Play. They have thus learned the principles
of poster design, modern lettering, color harmony and composition.
In cooperation with the New Century Club' it is planned to
have the children in all the grades make" defense posters. These
will be exhibited in an effort to, encourage purchase of defense
stamps and bonds.
Americanization Classes
The Americanization classes have attracted great interest
this year. Foreign speaking adults appear anxious to become
naturalized citizens,' but realize that they must first be able to
read, write, speak the English language, and have some knowledge
of the principles of American government.
The initial enrollment of eighteen members` has now increased
to twenty-six. Mrs.' Helena Vallett is again the teacher.
Junior Red Cross
Elementary and Junior High School pupils have contributed
liberally to the Junior Red Cross during the past year. They
have also been actively engaged in making various articles to be
i.
i
129
sent to `veterans' hospitals. On holidays, 'gifts were sent to
twenty-five veterans at the Chelsea Naval Hospital. Scrap books
and tracing books were made and sent to the Children's Hospital
in Boston.
International good will was expressed by the sending of
Christmas packages to foreign countries. They were
packed and
sent by the Junior Red Cross.
Junior High School pupils are at present engaged in making
Red Cross flags and arm bands to be used in local defense work.
Supplies and Equipment
The prices of school supplies and equipment advanced rapidly
during the year. Paper products, rubber erasers, rubber bands,
pencils, penpoints, and cleaning equipment have been particularly
affected. There is also a shortage of some materials. Supplies
and equipment needed for the year 1942 was purchased last fall,
before an appreciable rise in price became effctive. The school
department has been issued its priority number, which is required
before supplies can be purchased.
Surplus Commodities
Commodities have been received from the Surplus Market
Administration, and have been distributed to the Junior High and
Elementary schools. All children are eligible to receive the food,
which must be consumed in the rooms under the supervision' of the
teachers.
New Senior High School
Plans for the erection of a new Senior High School on land
adjacent to Memorial Park have been completed.
Representative -Royal B. Patriquin secured ` an enabling act,
through the legislature, permitting the town to borrow money
beyond the debt limit for the erection of the building.; The
matter was to have been presented at the annual town meeting
to appropriate funds for the project. The defense program of
the nation, however, has caused a shortage of materials. This
has necessitated'.; the postponement of any action by the town, until
a later date.
130
iThe many months of work and preparation have not been in
vain, for; the new school will receive attention when the normal
building program of the country is resumed.
Repairs and Improvements
Senior High School
.The science laboratory and the lecture room were completely
refinished. The work included whitening the ceilings, painting the
walls, and refinishing the woodwork. New window shades were
installed in both rooms. An electric outlet was installed in the
study hall to be used for the motion picture projector.
Junior High School
A new steel fence was erected at the rear of the building,
replacing the old wooden one. The stair treads were so badly
worn that they had to be replaced by new ones. An electric outlet
was installed for the band saw in the manual training room. The
building is badly in need of extensive repairs now.
Work necessary to, keep it safe and sanitary has been done
during the past few years. It seemed useless to spend much money
on such an old structure when in all probability, it would eventu-
ally be abandoned. ` Since it now appears that the building will be
used for a> number of years, a special appropriation has been
requested to cover the cost of necessary repairs and improvements.
Roland Green School
The walls of four lavatories were painted and the ceilings
whitened. Walls were painted and the woodwork refinished in
the two lower vestibules. A new tar and gravel roof was laid.
This is a ,Type A. A. Barrett specification roof, guaranteed against
leakage for twenty years. Repairs were made to the flashings'
and several broken slates were replaced by new ones. The entire
playground was power -sprayed with oil and rolled twice. This has
served to lay the dustand make the ground firmer.
Main Street School
This building should .hav been abandoned years ago; however,
as long as it is used, certain repairs will be necessary. The roof
�x
0
131
over the boys' and girls' toilets leaked so badly that they were
beyond repair. A new tar and gravel roof was laid on each.
All school buildings, with the exception of the John Berry
School, have now been connected to the sewer mains. The inside
connections in the Roland Green School, Central Junior High
School, and Main Street School had to be changed. This was
not necessary in the other buildings.
Rules regarding granting of diplomas to High School seniors
who leave school to go to work before completion of their course
were revised by the School Committee. So many seniors were leap-
ing school to accept positions in local industrial establishments
that some action governing dismissals became necessary. Certain
pre -requisites had t6 be fulfilled by each pupil before leaving
school, such as the earliest date of leaving and the quality and
quantity of school work to be completed. Also, after leaving
school, the completion of a certain amount of school work is II
required subject to the approval of the High School principal and
teachers.
I wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation
for the cooperation 'of the School Committee and the school j
personnel.

(setts
my first annual report as principal of the
gh School, I wish to take this opportunity to
gyve made the assumption and administration
I
Iii
132
of , this- position so decidedly pleasant—the students, the teachers,
the townspeople, the School Committee, and you, Mr. Merrill!
With so 'prevalent a feeling of cooperation on every hand, my first
consideration can be none other than the careful fulfillment of
my obligation to the young people of Mansfield, with whom,
directly or indirectly, I come in contact.
Attitude
There seems to, be a very healthy spirit in our school. Our
student body is strong in its leaders and followers. We are ready
and anxious to: meet the test required of youth in troublous days,
for training in the recognition of responsibility and its demands
is a primary objective in our educating process.
Scholarship
Always first to be considered, scholarship is being bolstered
with the help of a bi-monthly Honor Roll. Any student earning
B's or better in all subjects which grant 5 credits for the year or
its equivalent for the half year receives commendation for his
attainment. Depending on the number of A's and B'sacquired,
he is recommended for Highest Honors, High Honors, or Honors.
This device eliminates the need of waiting until the Senior year
before awareness to competition becomes evident.
Then, too, beginning with the Class of 1944, all marks bi-
monthly and annual, are to be recorded in letter grades—,A, B, C,
and D. At graduation, an honor group composed of the first
quarter of the senior class will receive particular mention.
Employment
Though we have checked, systematically, the employment
status of our graduates and can again recommend the provision
for additional opportunity in vocational training, two relatively
recent yet welcome points have evidenced themselves
(1.) Increasing numbers of employers are ask-
ing our assistance in locating able gradu-
ates for a wide variety of ,jobs.
(2.) Our in -school population is'in;great demand
for part-time employment.
i
1�3 I
In both cases the office has been greatly aided by the Commer-
cial and Home Economics departments in establishing contacts
and furthering a thriving Placement Service. We welcome your
inquiries and hope to maintain this service as a regular part of
our guidance program.
Curricular Changes
The Office Practice Course outlined last year and introduced
in September is filling a long -felt need. It has been a source of
great satisfaction to those who have elected the course.
Plans are being formulated for an expanded educational and
vocational guidance program in the coming year. This will include
.a more intensive check on vocational and educational interests,
more individual conferences, and the introduction of an elective
course for Juniors entitled "Guidance."
Second year Spanish will supplement the first year Spanish
course introduced this fall. The advantage of a familiarity with
this language becomes increasingly evident in the present world
order.
A course in Consumer Education is receiving serious consider-'
ation for the year 1942-1943. It would teach the understanding
of goods, the use of. goods, and the choice of goods. A course of
this kind might do well to run concurrently with Salesmanship,
stressing both consumption and distribution.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE
CENTRAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Mr. Bert L. Merrill
Superintendent of Schools
Mansfield, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my tenth annual report as principal of the
Central Junior High School for the year ending December 31, 194E
No important changes have been made in the program of study.
.There is, however, a plan to revise the history course by introduc-
ing the study of world history into grade nine instead of the
course in English history previously taught in this grade. This
change is recommended because it will give the student a sound
historical background in the international problems of today.
There will also be a slight modification in the geography
courses in grades seven and eight. The pupils in these divisions
will concentrate in the study of North America with special atten-
tion given to the geographical features of our own state. New
maps have been purchased to carry out this plan successfully.
In the English department new books have been bought' for
grades seven and eight.
The recent demand for skilled labor in defense projects has
placed a new emphasis on vocational subjects, especially those
courses that offer boys some training in mechanics. At present
the Manual Art Department gives the students an opportunity to
familiarize themselves with tools commonly used in industry,
become acquainted with the various materials of production, and
grasp a few iof the fundamental processes that underlie all skilled
labor. In view, however, of the increased demands of war time
production, the school should attempt to meet the needs of the
community by expanding these facilities along practical lines to
fit the pupil to take his place in industrial life.
The same ;programof supervised study in all subjects has been
continued at the Junior High School. This plan has proved suc-
cessful, for it has appreciably diminished the time necessary' for
home study and has given the teachers additional opportunity ;to
help the student establish correct habits of study.
A regular schedule of home assignments has been arranged
in grades seven and eight, sa that only one subject is assigned for
home study each night. In case of failure, the parents are notified
at the end of each month and are urged to, discuss the matter
personally with the individual teacher. In September, all parents
received letters urging close cooperation between the school and
home.
Two different types of supplementary material have been
given to the students. Subscriptions to current magazines like r
The National Geogra.piiic, Tlie Readers Digest, XaV ture, and Youth

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE
CENTRAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Mr. Bert L. Merrill
Superintendent of Schools
Mansfield, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my tenth annual report as principal of the
Central Junior High School for the year ending December 31, 194E
No important changes have been made in the program of study.
.There is, however, a plan to revise the history course by introduc-
ing the study of world history into grade nine instead of the
course in English history previously taught in this grade. This
change is recommended because it will give the student a sound
historical background in the international problems of today.
There will also be a slight modification in the geography
courses in grades seven and eight. The pupils in these divisions
will concentrate in the study of North America with special atten-
tion given to the geographical features of our own state. New
maps have been purchased to carry out this plan successfully.
In the English department new books have been bought' for
grades seven and eight.
The recent demand for skilled labor in defense projects has
placed a new emphasis on vocational subjects, especially those
courses that offer boys some training in mechanics. At present
the Manual Art Department gives the students an opportunity to
familiarize themselves with tools commonly used in industry,
become acquainted with the various materials of production, and
grasp a few iof the fundamental processes that underlie all skilled
labor. In view, however, of the increased demands of war time
production, the school should attempt to meet the needs of the
community by expanding these facilities along practical lines to
fit the pupil to take his place in industrial life.
The same ;programof supervised study in all subjects has been
continued at the Junior High School. This plan has proved suc-
cessful, for it has appreciably diminished the time necessary' for
home study and has given the teachers additional opportunity ;to
help the student establish correct habits of study.
A regular schedule of home assignments has been arranged
in grades seven and eight, sa that only one subject is assigned for
home study each night. In case of failure, the parents are notified
at the end of each month and are urged to, discuss the matter
personally with the individual teacher. In September, all parents
received letters urging close cooperation between the school and
home.
Two different types of supplementary material have been
given to the students. Subscriptions to current magazines like r
The National Geogra.piiic, Tlie Readers Digest, XaV ture, and Youth

`Today were continued to stimulate the pupil's interest in the world
about him and direct his attention to the better type of periodical.
Films, rented from Boston University, have been particularly
valuable in the science and hygiene courses and useful in instilling
lessonsin safety.
The New Stanford Achievement Test was en o.
all students
in grade eight. These standardized tests are
e designed vocabulary to measre
the pupil's ability in spelling, grammar, m
study, and paragraph comprehension, and to determine his knowl-
results were gratifying,
edge of physiology and literature. hmarks definitely above the
for two thirds of the pupils attained
average.
'The ' extracurricular activities at the Junior High School
continue to function. The following clubs have been organized
during the year: The Dramatic Club, The Sewing Club, The Handi-
craft Club, The Art Metal Club, The Press Club, The Domesti-
Science Club, The Current Events Club, The Study Club. This
year, too, a special class in first aid has been organized under
the auspices of the ,Junior Red Cross. This society boasts a
hundred percent enrollment at the Junior High School. The
Manual Training Department and .The Sewing Clubhave both
done considerable work for this organization under the -direction
of the local chapter.
Junior American Citizenship Clubs, sponsored by The Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, have been formed in all eighth
grade history classes. Their purpose is to stimulate the love and
loyalty of each pupil for the United States and to help him grasp
the fundamental principles underlying the American way- of life.
Athletics, as usual, formed an important part of the extra-
curricular activities of the school. Regular schedules were played
in football and baseball; basketball was confined to intramural
games for both boys' and girls' teams.
;The system of school banking, now well established at the
Junior High School, was continued. The pupils are encouraged to
open small saving accounts and many take advantage of this
opportunity.
Examinations for defective sight and hearing were conducted
in all grades. The eye tests were made by the members of the
137
faculty and the tests for defective hearing were administered by
a member of the State Department of; Public Health. In all
instances the parents were promptly; notified of any defects.
In the interests of safety, school is now dismissed ten 'minutes
earlier at noon, slightly in advance of the heavy twelve o'clock
traffic. This results in no, loss of class time, for the ten minutes
have been taken from the recess periods.
'The annual spelling contest was conducted in May and prizes
given to the successful students. On behalf of the pupils- and
faculty of the Junior High School, I wish to, thank the Rotary
Club, The Daughters of the American Revolution, The New Century
Club, ,The Catholic Women's Club, The Optimist Club, The Mans-
field Grange, and the Gloria d'Italia Lodge for making the awards
possible.
I also wish to express my appreciation to the teachers of the
Junior High School, who have always cooperated with me, and to
the School Committee for the interest extended to us during the
past year. I am particularly indebted to you for your advice and
assistance throughout the academic year.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES J. KELLY, Principal
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. Bert L. Merrill
Superintendent of Schools
Mansfield, Massachusetts
Dear Sir
It is my privilege to submit to you my eleventhannual report.
All successful health work depends upon health education.
The responsibility for health habit promotion rests primarily with
the parents, aided by the family physician, dentist, and school
nurse. The cooperation of the children themselves must also be
gained in order for ahem to build healthy minds and bodies.
138.......
Physical =examinations are being carried on at the present`
time in the first, third, fifth, eighth and tenth grades. These
examinations reveal conditions as they exist at the time of the
examination, but not necessarily what will happen in the future.
Follow-up is being carried on between the school and the home,
in order to gain information concerning the child, secure coopera-
tion, and effect remedial treatment.
Approximately eighty boys were given rigid heart, lung, and
blood pressure examinations before entering the field of athletics.
Through the cooperation of the Visiting Nurse Association,
a dental clinic was ` maintained for the first four grades, with Dr.
Jones as clinic dentist. Of the defects found in the course of the
physical examinations, none are so prominent as those of tooth.
Charts and posters in our classrooms have been of great value
in making the teaching of dental work more concrete.
By means of the phonographic audiometer, pupils in the third,
fifth, and eighth grades were given hearing tests. A small per-
centage were found to have defective hearing, due to congenital
causes or the sequel of communicable diseases. Parents were
notified of any existing condition and were requested to give it
their attention.
Sight testing has been done by the classroom teachers. Pupils
found with defective vision will be rechecked and referred to the
parents for further attention. It is earnestly requested that the
parents give all school notices due consideration by consultingtheir
physician. Some remedial work has already been effected as the
result of this year's examinations.
The tuberculosis school clinic, conducted by the Bristol County
Hospital in cooperation with the School Department, was held in
October for the benefit of the ninth grade and high school pupils.
One hundred nineteen pupils were given the tuberculin test,
twenty-four were found to' have a positive reaction, and thirty-
three were chest x-rayed. Five were classified as suspicious cases;
a total of seven were placed on our observation list, five of these `
being follow-up cases from the previous year.
The Board of Health, in cooperation with the School
ment, has a planned program to assist the community
prevention and control of diphtheria. This clinic was
Depart -
in the
held in
139
November for the benefit of all children from six months to six
years of age. Forty children were immunized at that time.
The annual Well Child Conference was conducted during April,
and continues to, hold an important place in our health program.
The motive of this conference is specifically to teach parents the
importance of periodical physical and dental examinations for the
child, prompt correction of all remedial defects, proper food and
food habits, and the prevention of small pox and diphtheria through
vaccination and inoculation. The children entering our first
grades are now in better condition than formerly, due in part to
the Well Child Conference and follow-up.
Pupils are weighed and measured twice yearly by the class-
room teachers as an educational project. Substantial gains have
been recorded during the past year, partly due to milk and foods
that are being distributed by the federal government division of
surplus commodities.
As in previous years, two boys and two " girls were eligible
for the Bristol County Health Camp, through the sale of Christmas
seals.
Visits are made on regular schedule to all schools for check-up
of the pupils and consultation with principals and teachers.
Routine inspections are made at intervals during the year. Group
and individual talks are given to the girls in the senior and
junior high schools. Classes are taught to a group of senior girls
-in conjunction with the Homemakers' Club.
A two-day refresher course on extra -pulmonary' tuberculosis
was attended at the Lakeville Sanitarium, of which I have already
submitted a complete report. Professional club meetings and
public health institutes have been attended during the year.
In closing I wish to, express my sincere appreciation to all
who have ''assisted in our health program.
