MORSE Health Officer 47 Annual Report of the Mown Manager 1. in accordance with Section 20 (e) of the Town Charter. I herewith submit a general report of work carried out in de - 7y, partments under my jurisdiction.

Serious study should be given to the development of a pro - for the planting of shade trees. A careful plan should be and followed _closely 'to allow for future developments be - he trees are really planted. Further consideration should be given to the housing of fire atus in West Mansfield. The present building is wholly in - ate, and unless drastic repairs are made within a short time 1 not serve the purpose in any way. The question of the replacement of equipment for the High Department should be placed on an annual basis. At least r two `units should be purchased annually, and old equipment sed of to that extent. Further consideration to the question of underground elec- mire in the business area of the town should be given. This )rought to our attention during the heavy gale of September. Further developments at Memorial Park should be con- 60 sidered, maybe not all in any given year, but a gradual develc ment program should be carried out with the following in mind: 1. Swimming Pool 2. 'Completion of Tennis Courts 3. Recreation Building for Winter Sports 4. Parking Area 5- Completion of lawns on both sides of entrance 7. On the garbage collection, the town should use motor equi ment, not only from the viewpoint of sanitation, but to speed t this work which is constantly growing. This is practically a sel supporting institution, and their equipment should be motorized far as possible. 8. In the Town Hall, items to be given g particular attention a the question of painting the outside of the building, and the u of oil heat to allow for cleaner operating conditions in the inter( 9.

The continuation of the 'replacement of all 4" water maim until all of these mains are eliminated and larger mains placed 'i service, should be considered. 13. I would recommend that consideration be given, during the summer months, to making the 'connections to the sewer systen from the main to the property line. I feel the Board should mak( a study of this matter with the engineer in charge; if this is donE all damage to highways by openings will be done at once.

BARBOUR 63 ANNUAL REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL December 22, 1938 [r. Harold H. Everett, Town Manager Mansfield, Mass. ,ear= Sir: The legal affairs of the Town have been multifarious and in - resting. The grade crossing eliminations and the sewerage pro- osition have raised many problems of eminent domain. To date my one case has, been tried out before a jury, which resulted in verdict of $1,200 in round figures. This amount includes two ears' interest 'and is about the figure originally estimated by an xaminer from the State. There was a time when cases of this ature resulted in large verdicts, but today juries are a little more ax conscious and realize that the verdicts have to be paid through axes. During the year most of the Town departments have requested ,dvice and `several titles have been foreclosed in the Land Court. /Iansfield is not as badly off in this respect as many other towns ,nd cities, but eventually, if the process continues, the status of tizeni and 'town will be changed to that of landlord and tenant. 3owever, the tide may run the other way before long and prevent ,uch a calamity from coming to pass. I have 'received excellent cooperation from all Town officials, 'or which I wish to express my appreciation, together with the lope of a happy New Year to all fellow townsmen.

We realize, with considerable satisfaction, that there is class distinction in this country, such as is found in many Europ nations. Our schools are openand free to all boys and girls are willing to avail themselves' of such opportunity. It would impossible for most homes :to buy for their children what pu education can give. An extensive program is essential, particularly when milli of youths can find no place in economic society. Education m expand. Schools, libraries, athletic and recreational instituti have greater duties to perform—more _ leisure time is avails for good or bad conduct. Opportunities are at hand, and it is duty to raise the level of knowledge and the standards of liv for our young people. Faculty Changes There. have been two changes in the school faculty. Mr. i., Hays, former principal of the Wellfleet High School, was principal of the Senior High School to succeed Mr. Donald ttoon, resigned. Mrs. Anna T. Barker,. formerly a teacher Hartwell School, was elected teacher of the fourth grade in eland Green School, to replace Mrs. ;Emerson Grant, who ed in June. Curriculum L the elementary grades there has been an increasing need iiformity` in the subjects taught, to facilitate the transfer )ils from one school to another in the town. Now an effort ig made to adjust the ' requirements of each grade so that a may be transferred from one school to another if necessary e' able to continue his studies without interruption. is evident that failures in school are due primarily to the ty of children to read intelligently.. Primary reading tests given to all first and second grade pupils, for the purpose of pining the class average ability in reading. It was interest - note that children in rooms with only one grade rated as and in one case higher, than the standard median. When s one and two were in one room, either one or both grades 1 slightly below the reading standard. letropolitan Achievement Tests, which covered nearly all Lementary school subjects, were given to the fifth and sixth pupils. In every grade the results compared favorably with tandard median. Music L revolving music fund has been established and is under the fiction of the School Department. A substantial sum has realized through donations from the Parent-Teacher Asso ,ns of the Spaulding and Roland Green Schools; also from eds of the May Music Festival and the entertainment provided Le Rainbow Indian Group. .t is hoped that more pupils will avail themselves of the rtunity to purchase instruments at reduced rates over an ex - ;d period, through this fund. Parents and students' are urged ntact the Superintendent of Schools regarding arrangements.' 74 Americanization Classes The purpose of the Americanization Classes is to foreign -speaking adults to read and write the English land This will enable them to become naturalized citizens. The i mental principles of. American government are taught to the advanced groups of students. This year interest was revived and a class of fifteen mem was formed. This number has since increased to twenty - Classes meet three evenings each week at the Spaulding Scl under the capable instruction of Miss Alice M. Gallup. Hartwell School Because of afaulty boiler which could no longer be repai the Hartwell School was, closed temporarily in February. pupils were transported to the Roland Green School while the q1 tion of reopening the school was given- careful study. As ne: as could be ascertained, the enrollment in the schooh had b gradually decreasing, and no doubt this would probably Conti] while the cost per pupil of maintaining the school was gre than in any of the other 'elementary schools. The children have better advantages in the Roland Gr School, where there is only one grade in a room instead of f grades in one room as was the case in the Hartwell School. 'Consequently the School Committee decided, in the best int ests of all, to close the school permanently. In compliance % the usual procedure, the building and keys were turned over to Board of Selectmen for disposal. Major Repairs and Improvements Senior 'High School—The girls' and boys' locker rooms and la tories were repainted. Sections of loose plaster in the study 'h and in one of the classrooms were repaired. Junior High School—The principal's office, teachers' room, office the school nurse, dental clinic room, four classrooms, upper a lower corridors, and the entire basement were rewired with II cable, thus eliminating a possible fire hazard. Four new elect! light fixtures were installed in each of the classrooms and four the upper and lower corridors. 75 ppoximately eighty-two feet of steel fence was erected be - the school and the adjacent property of Dr. John W. Cook. l Green School—The feed and return pipes on the two boilers so badly that they had to be replaced. .ore surface water seeped into the boiler room and basement zmmer than the siphon pump was capable of removing. Hence necessary to install an additional automatic pump. he entire coping and a section of the roof flashing, blown of time of the hurricane, had to be repaired. Many slate [es were replaced. Street School—The thin and worn castings in both old hot irnaces were replaced with new ones. This was necessitated e gas and smoke escaping into the rooms and .corridors. .ding School Nearly all. the shingles on the south side of wilding were blown off by the hurricane, which made it nec- y;to reshingle that portion of the roof. School Bus Limit Signs )uring ;the past few years an increasing number of school cen .have been transported to school regardless, in many In- es, of how 'near school they lived. The busses became so led that it was becoming difficult to accommodate children liv- onger distances from school. [n order to alleviate this congestion, bus limit signs were eree- Lear the highways in various sections of the town. Only those ing beyond these signs are now entitled to transportation. National Air Mail Week T the elementary and junior high school pupils made wrote essays commemorating the week of May 15th Air` Mail Week. Mr. James E. Bellew, local, post ded a medal to James Ingram, a student in the Junior for writing the best essay, and a medal to Fiore sixth grade pupil in the Roland Green School, for gest poster. tl A town of this size should provide a well organized vocat course for boys and girls, the majority of whom are unab: further their education after graduating from high school. An auditorium is a recognized necessity in every school. the present time the town hall has to be used for asseml dramatics, musical entertainments, and other similar school f tions: 'There, is an urgent need for a gymnasium, where baskff can be played and where classes in physical education can be perly conducted. ,Since we are unable to provide this kind of education the majority of pupils should receive in the present junior senior high schools, I would stress the immediate need of a bined junior -senior high school. A modern education and its various advantages should be heritage of every child. Every dollar spent in educating our y( people is a dollar well invested in future citizenship. I wish to take this opportunity to express. my apprecia for the cooperation of the School Committee, teachers, and t officials. Respectfully submitted, BERT L. MERRILL Superintendentof Schools REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SENIOR HIGH SCHC Mr. Bert L. Merrill Superintendent of Schools Mansfield, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Merrill I take pleasure in 'submitting' my first annual report as prix pal of the Mansfield Senior High School. 77 Social ,Studies ontemplated changes in the course of study in the social s department are expected to bring about a better basic un- nding of government, history of government, and world Ms.,.. Such changes should benefit both the college prepara- ind non -college preparatory groups of students. These es are also expected to further provide for shifts in empha- any point that will better promote democratic ideals in a uratic state. Music nite increases in enrollment in music groups predicts well inued need for expansion in that department. There are, r, seventy-five in the senior high school vocal group, and wo in the combined junior -senior high ` school orchestra. c)ups are under the able direction of Mr. Frederic Kempf. t step, and one that should be taken next year, is the or - on of a band. All music classes, and individuals .taking instruction have been transferred from the Memorial Hall Igh school gymnasium. The reasons for this change are: e wasted, easier of access for pupils, better possibilities vision, and more space available. Vocational Training need for courses in mechanics, mechanical drawing, wood- etal work, and simple design is just as acute now as when aentioned' as long ago as 1918 in a Mansfield report of this U fewer and fewer have found it possible to continue in ►eyond high school there has arisen a greater and greater assist such individuals to .obtain a working knowledge that ble them to step ,into semi -skilled and skilled jobs without >r indefinite delay in the unskilled classes. The problem Zployment is the most serious among the unskilled. Nurses' Training unusually large number of girls are preparing to enter .s to become trained nurses. A large number of these graduate from high school and then find they lack several I subjects. Hospitals regularly demand biology and chem - or, entrance,, and often physics as well. The hospitals re- 78 ceive so, many applications that they have found it possible to mand not only physical perfection but high scholastic abilit well. Therefore, those who plan to enter this profession sh make their decision as early as. possible, be capable of doing work in college preparatory subjects, and plan their course, include the laboratory sciences. Library Plans are being made to establish a reference library study hall where it will be available to all students during periods. National Youth Administration Ten students are employed this year in several different jects that are under the supervision of the National You, h Ad stration. Three have after-school jobs; one assists in bui maintenance and the 'other two are caretakers when the bui' is being used at night. The remaining seven work during school day when they do not have classes. They serve as a ants in the office, science laboratory, and in the cafeteria* is employed approximately one hour each school day.

All pupils, as in former years, the same prescribed course in grades seven and eight. In nine a college, a scientific, and a commercial course are and the pupil chooses the program of studies best suited individual needs. An outline of these courses is sent to the p, so that the final selection is made with their consent and ani One change, however, has been made in class organiz, Formerly the pupils passed from room to room at the close of period, but this practice has been discontinued. This doer interfere with departmental instruction because the teacher to their respective classes and much unnecessary passing and sequent ,loss of time have been eliminated. Music and art have been offered as elective subjects grades. Every pupil is given the opportunity to do explor work in these subjects in order to ascertain his own aptitude terests, and skill in these two branches of the fine arts. Seeding the grounds and planting the shrubbery aroun( Central School have improved the appearance of the lot. faculty and students have taken pleasure and pride in their attractive surroundings. The organized program of supervised study, introduce year ago, has lowered the number of subject failures in the ous grades. Fifteen minutes of each period is devoted to si vised study under the direction of the teacher. This practice almost entirely eliminated home work in grades seven and e Only one subject a night is assigned for home study in t grades in order to develop the habit of individual study whi( very essential in grade nine. Monthly reports were sent home to the parents in cases N the pupil had not done satisfactory work. Many parents a themselves of the opportunity to cooperate with the teacher: in such instances improvement was noted. Examinations for defective hearing were conducted by school nurse and a representative from the state department. 81 were given by the teachers.

Dear Sir: I herewith respectfully submit my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1938. On January 1, 1938 there were ten inmates being cared for at the home. During the year six inmates were admitted and four inmates discharged. The largest number of inmates during the year at one time, was fifteen, and the smallest number was ten. There are twelve inmatesat the home at the present time; nine men and three women. Respectfully submitted, RALPH L. WILLIAMS,' Supt. 1 150 SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES Mr. Harold H. Everett Town Manager Mansfield, Mass. Dear Sir: I hereby submit my annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1938. No. of inspections made 169 Total of standards approved 885 Total of standards condemned 9 Fees secured and paid to Treasurer $128.96 We again call your attention to the lack of proper standards for the testing of liquid appliances. The consumption of various oils now totals 3,000,000 gallons yearly. The present test made by this department with its limited scope is unfair to the public 1' as well as to the station operators. A test tank of not less than 50 gallons should be added to the department's equipment, if any result like accuracy is to be determined. We recommend the above added equipment. We wish to thank the users of standards under our super- vision for their cooperation. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM H.
