ANNUAL REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
December 29, 1939
Mr. Harold Everett
Town Manager
Mansfield, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Everett:
My report as town counsel for the current
year nothing particularly new and startling. I have received colo eration
from all the town officials, and have had some extra work on account
'of sewers. There have been no recoveries against the town '
court except the Boltz case in which I took no f
relationship to one of the Part by reason of
several tax foreclosures int el Land Court, There have been
rendered to the town and, advise and many opinions
others. given to the school committee and
I do not know of anything else to add to this report exce t to
wish my fellow townsmen a Happy New Year. p
Yours truly,
CLARENCE A. BARNES,
Town Counsel

Annual Report of the Town Manager
in accordance with Section 20 (e) of the Town Charter
I herewith submit a general report of work carried out in de-
partments under my jurisdiction. It is, of ''course, impossible to
list all details such as cleaning catch basins, sanding streets, and
showing to amount of snow removed, but I have attempted to list
items of construction which might prove to be of value as mere
statistics, or show as future assets in the community.
During the past year, the cooperation of the Selectmen and
their valued counsel is herewith gratefully acknowledged, as is the
cooperation of the department heads outside the Manager's pro-
vince. To my loyal chiefs, superintendents, and co-workers, ,I re-
cord my appreciation for their continued loyalty, interest and un-
failing courtesy. Through this Ioyal cooperation I have been able
to carry out the policies as directed by the Selectmen, and obtain
the greatest return for the funds expended.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE YEAR 1940
1• I believe the Board should
this
of the fire alarm s stem give consideration to the extension
Y year at least to West Mansfield, if 11
Possible to the end of Otis Street to take in the industrial plant
located in that spot. p
2. I think we should again start the practice of
ally at least two trucks in the trading in annu-
eliminating as much repair cost as Possible. aY Department—thus
3- I have already begun a stud of
Y underground electric light
service for the main street and I believe the Board should i
consideration to laying at least 1,000 feet of such service e gave
paying for the same from the regular revenue of the Electric L year,
Department. Light
4. At Memorial Park, my recommendation is that
courts be given early consideration. the tennis
5• A W. P. A. project has been prepared and filed for the
33
improvement of the grounds at the water reservation. This is a
location which has needed attention for several years.
6. I would recommend the placing of oil burners in both the
Town Hall and the Memorial Building. Such service' would not
only maintain a better heat than at present, but would eliminate
much of the dirt and dust in both buildings.
7. I am of the opinion that sidewalk extensions should be con-
tinued in connection with the W. P. A.
8. Roads which have received only a coat of penetration should
be widened to make them passable for two vehicles.
9. I believe the Board should insist on sufficient funds being ap-
propriated to paint the Town Hall building.
I realize that a great many of these things will be impossible
during 1940, but the Board should give consideration' to whichever
they consider most urgent.
Thanking you for your cooperation in the past, and antici-

Music
This year the music organizations in the schools have greatly
increased in number, under the able direction of Mr. Frederic Wm.
Kempf, music supervisor. We now have an orchestra, three com-
bined junior high school choruses, classes in music appreciation,
and the recently organized band.
Forty more pupils are taking private lessons. The instru-
mental teachers are:
Violin Miss Pauline Desjardins
Mr. John Hansel
Drum Mr. Fred Jones
Wind Instruments Mr. Donald Hayward
The School Music Loan Fund has been of great assistance to
some of these pupils in purchasing instruments. Three violins, one
flute, two clarinets, two snare drums, one bass drum, and one E -flat
bass horn have been purchased in the past year.
The students who have taken advantage of purchasing instru-
ments through the fund reimburse it with weekly or monthly
payments.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.
Mr. Bert L. Merrill
Superintendent of Schools
Mansfield, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my report of the Central Junior High School
for the year ending December 31, 1939.
The program of studies at the Junior High .School has remained
practically unchanged. The workbooks, purchased for courses in
history, business practice, ' and clerical practice, have facilitated the,
work in those departments, and the new texts for classes in civics
bring the course thoroughly up -to, -date.
It is interesting to note that there has been an increased
enrolment in the academic courses in grade nine. In previous years
63
ie majority of students followed the commercial course. Now the
ztrance requirements of various professional schools demand
.ementary courses in Latin, mathematics, and science. In order to
feet these conditions, many pupils have enrolled in the college or
ie scientific course.
One definite aim, consistently pursued throughout the year,
as been the elimination of student failures. The following methods
ave been employed:
1. An organized program of supervised study.
2. A regular schedule for home assignments.
3. Examination for defects in hearing and eyesight.
4. Individual attention in case of subject failure.
5. Cooperation between the school and the home.
Supervised study. Fifteen minutes of each period is devoted
study under the direction of the teacher. This practice enables`
ie student to form correct study habits and, if necessary, obtain
Xtra help from the instructor.
A Regular Schedule for Home Assignments. In schools where
epartmental work is conducted, the burden of home study has
icreased, for the pupil is sometimes required to prepare long
ssignments in three of four subjects. Although part of the work
,as 'done in school, nevertheless the burden of home preparation
,as too great for the average pupil in grades seven and eight. Now
rly'one subject a night is assigned in those grades. The results `
ave been most satisfactory.
Examination for Physical Defects. Physical disabilities have
lways played a large part in causing student failures. To eliminate
us factor, regular examinations for defective hearing and eye-
ight have been conducted at the beginning of the year. Parents
re notified in case of any defects and are urged to remedy these
Dnditions.
Individual Attention. A careful check is kept on those students
,ho fail to attain a passing mark. Individual pupils are summoned

abject f ailure.
Cooperation between School and Home. A monthly report is
sailed to the parents whenever a pupil fails in one or more than

SEALER OF. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
Mr. Harold H. Everett
Town Manager
Mansfield, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
I hereby submit my annual report for the year ending Dec�
31,1939.
Number of inspections made 172,
Total of standards approved 845
Total of standards condemned 11
Fees secured and paid to Treasurer $119.73.
Once more we call your attention to the lack of proper'stand-
ards for testing of liquid appliances.
The consumption of various oils now exceeds 5,000,000 gallons.
The former tests made by this department are no longer ac-
cepted by the state department of standards as they claim that
owing to their limited scope they are of no value either to the
consumer or the dealers themselves. If a test tank of not less than
50 gallons was added to the local equipmen, t this would be adequate
to test all requirements. We recommend the above added equip -
We wish to thank the users of standards under our supervision
for their cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
