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 Decem-
ber 31, 1934.
The tota!l� sealings made by this department 935
Number condemned 12
Fees received and paid to Treasurer $96.02
We are pleased to be able to report that, without exception,
we have received great cooperation from all users of weights and
measures in reaching a state of accuracy.
Respectfully submitted,

Board of Selectmen

Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
Another year is over now and I find myself called up
make another report as Town Counsel.
There has been considerable litigation during the year or.
question of the support of certain individuals whose domichle c
mines whether or not Mansfield or some other town should pa
bills. We have had two or three cases with the City of Bosto
so far the courts have determined the facts in our favor.
different departments of the Town have had the usual numb
questions, which run all the way from proper procedure t
pair the damage to certain properties on Fulton Pond, an(
granting of a revolver license to an unnaturalized person, t+
question of deposits on applications for license fees, etc.
In a multitude of smaller matters, the Card tax abate
case looms up as the most important matter in which the '.
has ever been involved in court. If the most successful bus
concern the Town has ever had can secure anywhere nea
abatement it has asked for, no imagination is required to rE
the effect upon the home owners of the Town. The Tax A]
Board took a great interest in the case and made a persona
spection of the property. I would not feel like making ani
tended comment upon the case, which is still undecided, b
least I can give an opinion that the Town has nothing to
about. The Assessors have been more than fair to this com
and I believe the Tax Appeal Board will so find.

Annual Report of the Town Manager
in accordance with Section 20 (e) of the Town Charter
During the year 1934 the program under the direction of the
anager's office has been largely devoted to working in coopera-
)n with the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, as the
st of our projects, which have been carried out during the past
ar, has been materially lowered by the Federal Emergency Re -
,f Administration.
During this program of Federal and Town development, 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 province. To my loyal chiefs, super-
intendents, and co-workers I record my appreciation for their
continued loyalty, interest, and unfailing courtesy. Through this
loyal cooperation, I have been able to carry out the policies as
directed by the Selectmen, and obtain the greatest return for the
funds expem,ded.

December 31, 193
Mr. Harold H. Everett
Town Manager
Mansfield, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I submit the following report. On the annual visit I hav(
inspected 66 stables where cattle and swine are kept. Number of
cattle 498, number of swine 63, number of goats 5, number, of
sheep 3. I have made 64 special calls on cleaning up barns .after
reactors have been removed, 9 calls on dogs, 72 calls on cows.
I have copied ear tags from 201 cows which were shipped into this
town from other states. I sent 2 dogs' heads to state laboratory
which proved not infected with rabies.
Respectfully yours,
RALPH B. WILLIS

Dear Sir:
I have made 55 inspections of farms that send milk into Mans
field. Eleven were compelled to build new milk rooms; others had: tc
remove other animals from cow barns and clean up cow yards.

Fire Department
December 31st, 1934
To The Board of Selectmen,
I hereby submit the foflowing report of the Fire Department,
for the year 1934.
The total number of alarms answered by the Department was
.98. Of these, 29 were box alarms, 43 squad. calls,
11 still alarms,
and 15 signals (W. Mansfield). These calls; were classified as
follows: 20 building fires, 27 grass and brush, 23 chimney,- 3 dump
fires, 2 animal rescues, 7 needless ca 1s, and balance various other
causes.
There were also 2 false alarms pulled during the year. ,
Building losses for the year totaled $8476.63, with $8381.63 in-
surance paid. Losses on contents amounted to $4370,32, with
$3655.32 insurance paid. status
During the early part of the year both men and app
were called upon for service which was exceedingly severe, due
to the unusually low temperatures which prevailed. .The members
of the Department gave willingly of their services at all times
of which I am very proud. At this time several of the men were
frost-bitten, and some were badly shaken up by falls on the ice.
On the night of February 7th, at 2:03 on Franklin
MDepartment
t. .
was called to the home of A. J. Thibault
was necessary to pump through 22'50 feet of 21/2" hose from North
Factory pond on Maple Street. The temperature registered 22,de-
grees below zero at this time but fire was extinguished with a
loss of only $110. This was an exceptionally tough job with very
gratifying results.
The aparatus is in, good condition, the H. &; L. truck, pump,
and both smaller trucks having been painted during the early
summer with the aid of E. R. A. funds. A new Chevr&et coupe
was purchased in May to replace the Buick roadster. Bids were
made on this car by Ford, Chevrolet, and Plymouth dealers—Pe-
dini Motor Co., making the lowest bid of dealers in. the Town.
The Seagrave pump is nearly 17 years old now, and while it
has been kept in good repair at all times, it has failed on at least
two occasions when it was needed badly. This was caused not by
undue wear but by breaking of parts which could not be fore-
seen. While this piece of 'apparatus may not give us any fur-
100
ther trouble for a long time, should a breakdown occur at a critic
time, it can be easily seen what serious consequences might resu
I would recommend, and urge the voters to give serio
consideration to the purchase of a 600 gallon pumping engine<
this time. 'This would give the Town a modern pump of near:
the capacity of our present pump at a much lower price than wc,
paid for the old one.
The Central Station received a coat of
wood and metal surfaces duringPaint on all outsid
the year, alo part of the insid
walls and ceilings were painted. This was also an E. R. A. projec
All hose was tested during the year. I would recommen+
the purchase of 800 ft. of 21/2" hose for the coming year.
'The ambulance has made 64 runs during 1934, an increase o
9 over last year, with a total mileage of 2366.
A new repeater was purchased, and installed by the Gamewel
Co., for the Fire Alarm system, which has corrected the unsatis-
factory condition of the old repeater.
One new set of batteries was also replaced, and the opposite
set must be replaced in the immediate future, unless a Rectifier-
Rbating Battery system is installed. In this system only one set
of batteries is used, thus reducing the cost of batteries by 50%,'
and the life of batteries used is increased to about double their
present life, and very little supervision is needed.
I would recommend the purchase of this system as an eco-
nomic measure with an appropriation of $800. for installation of
same.
The installation of new Fire Alarm boxes should be continued
in order that the old type boxes may be replaced at an early date.
A number of new hydrants have been installed throughout the
Town in localities which were poorly covered by water service in
the past.
The inspection of buildings has been conducted during the year
with satisfactory results. Good cooperation has been had from
owners and occupants of mercantile buildings generally.
I wish to thank the Board of Engineers at this time for their_`_
help and cooperation, and also the Town Manager and other: De-
partment Heads for their assistance.
Respectfully,
ARTHUR E. SOPFR

Public Library Trustees
To the Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen:
As an institution the Public Library holds an increasingly im-
portant place in the community. All its activities are directed to-
ward an educational and social uplift. As people have more leisure
on their hands and less money to buy books or to spend for recrea-
tion the library should be a present help in time of need. In every
way they 'can, the staff at the library is trying to meet that need.
The chief function of the library is the distribution of, books
into the. home. To meet the requirements of the borrowers it is
necessary to have a frequent supply of new books. Fortunately a
slight increase in the appropriation in 1934 and an increase of book
gifts helped to overcome the appalling scarcity of 1933. Mr. Ivan
Blake gave 418 books with the request that this be known as the
Charles Addison, Blake Collection. Mr. Fred Pingree gave 22
books. The New Century Club, the Parent -Teachers Association of
the Roland Green School and the Philathea class of the Methodist
Church and others gave until the total number of gifts was 486.
These gifts have been greatly appreciated, yet they have not filled
the demand of the great majority of readers who want new fiction.
The lack of that in the last few years has caused a decided falling
off of the circulation. The drop has been from 67,256 in 1932 to
49,922 in 1934. Most of this occurred at the library, though the
schools and West Mansfield have fallen behind. East Mansfield,
which fell behind last year increased its circulation considerably
this year.
The mounted picture collection has been increased until it now
numbers 2,760 pictures. These have been used by the day schools,
Sunday schools and perhaps might be even more useful if fully
understood.
Fifty-two books have been borrowed from other libraries
through the Inter -Library Loan.
Ninety-six Honor Certificates were awarded for reading in the
Roland Green School.
In January and February the library received from the C.W.1
workers two new glassed -in bookcases and a complete renovatic
of the rooms, also shelves in the basement storeroom. An inveu
tory of the books was made by the women workers and other hell
ful services were rendered.
The fall activities at the library included an observance c
Children's Book Week and the conduct of library classes for th
High School sophomores. Eleven talks were given by Miss Woo,
to the pupils to teach them the arrangement and classification ,'o
the books, and the use of the catalogue and reference books.
A good many worn books have been rebound.
The trustees and Miss Wood have tried to do the best thea
could with the money at their disposal.

Dear Sir:
I have inspected the slaughtering of 41 animals during the
year which were free from disease.
Yours truly,
RALPH B. WILLIS

Police Department
December 31, 1934
Mr. Harold H. Everett
Town Manager
Mansfield, Mass.
Dear Sir:
The following is my report of the Police Department for the
year 1934:—
During the past year there have been no serious crimes com-
mitted in the town, the arrest list showing 106 arrests with no
felonies. Receipts from fines have been comparitively small com-
pared with previous years.. One Hundred Ninety-five Dollars
($195.00) having been returned to the Town and Four Hundred
Ninety Dollars has been paid to the State.
Arrests for motor vehicle offences have increased. Five
drunken operators have been arrested and ten operators have been
brought into Court for other automobile violations. Reported ac-
cidents where personal injuries have resulted amount to seventeen,
three of which were fatal.
We aided the neighboring Towns during the Bleachery strike
in September. We aided these towns owing to the fact ` that a
large number of residents of this town were employed in these
Bleacheries. We were very fortunate in not havingany serious
trouble in this town during the time of the strike.
We also aided our neighboring Town during the aeroplane
accident off Reservoir ,Street in the latter part of November.
We also assisted our neighboring Town during the drowning
accident at the Norton Reservoir in December.
Equipment for the Department and Officers is in good con-
dition. Owing to the fact that the Buick car was in such poor
condition and needed to have such a large amount of money laid
out on it for repairs, it was considered advisable to trade in the
104
car and get a new and smaller car which would be more
to operate. We purchased a 1934 Ford V-8.
In closing, I wish to express my thanks to you and to th
Board of Selectmen for the help and advice given me during th
past year.
Respectfully submitted,
RUFUS H. RING,
Chief of Policc

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
For the Year 1934
To the Citizens of Mansfield:
Herewith the report of the School Committee of Mansfield for
the year ending December 31, 1934.
The year has been one of acute conditions, nation wide existing,
but we do feel economy has been rigidly borne in mind and officially
practiced.
In January of 1934, we found we were eligible to FERA funds;
which, after due consideration, we decided to apply for, this to be
used -to give unemployed town teachers work. These classes in
adult education --commercial, English, physical education, and mu-
sic, -were very successfully carried on through June. In addition,
we were informed of a new allotment of CWA funds for repairs
and improvements on school buildings, equipment and grounds.
This amount was used to good advantage, covering labor costs only
on our several buildings. Also, an additional allotment of CWS
funds was made for repairs on school books, all of which has been
doubly appreciated in a time when our budget was necessarily cut.
At the end of our school year, Mr. Everett W. Robinson gave
us his resignation as principal of the High. School. This was ac-
cepted with regrets and words of appreciation extended to him for
his very excellent work as principal of our High School for ten
years. We were very fortunate to have on: our faculty a teacher
whom we felt was capable of being raised to this position, in Mr.
W. Everett Green, our coach and teacher of science. Mr. Robinson
was appointed, at his own request, head of the department of social
sciences.
With the depleted budget in sight we were confronted with the
heating problem in the High School, which we have been expecting
for the past two years. After 'thoroughinvestigation by one of
our committee, who is a mechanical engineer, we were obliged to
install one new boiler, which made it necessary to go before the
Board of Selectmen and arrange an emergency appropriation of
$2,000.; and we are very glad to inform the voters that the actual
amount used of this was $1,721.11,.we having had left in our .1934
budget $278.89 to apply on the $2;000.
136
We now have a new boiler sealed with a State seal and in-
spected by a boiler inspector from the State House, which is very
satisfactory.
At a joint meeting of the Planning Board and the School Com-
mittee, we went on record as approving of the purchase of the
Cherry Moore property, next to the High School building on South '
Main Street, and we would recommend this purchase.
'The Committee has consistently impressed on the Superinten-
dent the need of rigid economy in school administration on all `
purchases; this has been very conscientiously practiced throughout,
as the report of the Superintendent herewith printed will show.
The School Committee does appreciate the loyalty and coopera-
tion of every member in the School Department in this time of
economic stress; and in closing, I, as chairman, wish to say that the
past year has been one of complete harmony.

FINANCES
During the fifteen year period from 1920 to 1934, the net
cost to Mansfield for education was largest in 1930, when it was
$103,011.09; and during the succeeding three years it dropped to
$71,199.09 for 1933; and for 1934 it dropped to $70,098.32. The
extremely low net ,cost for 1934 was due to several factors, one
among these being that the employed personnel of the School
Department continued working at the twenty per cent cut from
basic salaries, which was effective as of March 6, 1933. Another
reason for the low net cost to the town of education this year is
the reimbursement of $7,660.00 on Part One of the General School
Fund, for the years 1931 and 1932, which reimbursement was re-
ceived on June 2, 1934, through a legislative act passed April 26,
1934.
The amount spent for salaries of teachers and supervisors was
likewise largest in 1930; and had dropped by 1934 to the lowest
amount paid for this service since 1920. Mansfield has ranked,
with the exception of the year 1921, well under the average of the
141
other towns in its per pupil cost of education. In its expenditures
for school support from local taxation, per $1,000. property valua-
tion, it ranked 16th, for the thirteen -year period, 1920-1932. It
is fair to say that the town has been consistent, but not extrava-
gant, in supporting its schools, during the period under study.
Nl
On March 1st, 1934, the step -rate increases in teachers' sal-
,aries, as provided in the Mansfield salary scale, were restored. The
automatic increases based on the period of service had not been
granted during the period ,September 1, 1931, to March 1, 1934. No
part of the twenty per cent cut in the teachers' salaries, which
went into effect March 6, 1933, has yet been restored.
EVENINGSCHOOL
An evening school for adults, with classes in fifteen subjects,
was organized ' on February 8, 1934, in Mansfield with financial
support from the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. Un-
employment relief was given to six Mansfield residents who were
teachers, to teach the classes. The classes ranged in size from
10 to 45 members. `' There were enrolled, at the period of greatest
attendance, 125 men and women, nearly all of whom were eighteen
years of age and over, in the "evening school.' The following sub-
jects were taught: Typewriting, Stenography, Bookkeeping, Mod-
ern World History, Physical Education for Women, Basketball and
Group Games for Women, Basketball and Group Games for Men,
Modern Drama, Choral Singing, Fine Arts, Mechanical Drawing,
Leather Working, First Aid and Hygiene, Current Literature,
Early Drama.
The F.E.R.A. adult evening classes were started on an original
allotment of $90.91 per month, which was increased to $100. by a
second allocation, and was in March increased to a total of $126.35
per month. Ninety-five per cent of each month's allotment was
spent for the services of the teachers, and five per cent for in-
structional supplies.
The classes were continued until June 21st, inclusive. Seven
unemployed citizens of the town received a total of $408.86 in
salaries, as teachers in our F.E.R.A. classes.
Consideration was given to reopening these classes in the
Fall and Winter of 1934, but it was found impossible to meet the
Government's new requirements in the subjects which are in great-
142
est demand, .namely, the commercial course subjects. One of the
new requirements was that all persons taking the course must be
unemployed, and must be without any commercial experience.
COOPERATIVE SUPERVISION
In our school system, supervision is becoming a cooperative
enterprise. The superi.tendent calls monthly conferences with his
entire staff. At these times objectives and methods of procedure
are discussed and agreed upon. Thus the nine schools, each under-
standing the others' work more fully, and the supervisory and ad-
ministrative requirements of the system as a whole, are encour-
aged to go forward cooperatively in all matters requiring super-
vision. Principals call conferences with their own teachers when-
ever necessary, and in such conferences working agreements are
formulated.
In the Mansfield school system the school principals give some
time to supervision and administration within their schools. The
wise principal takes his teachers into his confidence, listens toj
their suggestions, and guides his faculty in cooperative, effective
efforts. The cooperation of the teachers and principals with the
superintendent in forming policies and programs for the schools,
and in cooperatively carrying out such policies and prograins, ' has
been of much help.
PROFESSIONAL IMPROVEMENT
Dr. Fredericka Moore, Consultant in School Hygiene, from the
Massachusetts Department of Health, was secured to give a six
weeks' course of lessons to the teachers, on matters of child health
and school hygiene. Twenty-eight teachers enrolled for the course,
which was given one afternoon a week, after school hours.
The professional library for teachers' use, which was started
in the superintendent's office in 1933, was continued during 1934,
with many of the books being borrowed and read by the teachers.
This library was augmented during the year with several new
books on teaching.
Thirteen of our teachers took visiting days during the year,
visiting classes in Middleboro, Dedham, Bridgewater, Walpole, Ros-
lindale, Providence, Dorchester, and Boston, for the purpose of
professional improvement. The teachers are required to give the
143
superintendent a written report of the classes observed on their
visiting days.
A demonstration teacher of Palmer Method writing, which is
the system of writing taught in the schools of Mansfield, was se-
cured in April to give demonstration lessons in Palmer Method
writing, for one day. This demonstration teacher taught writing
lessons in four elementary schools, and the Junior High School.
SAFETY EDUCATION
All of the schools have given attention to establishing habits
of safe conduct in the pupils. Early in the year, pupil safety
patrols were organized, with the cooperation of a State Police
officer,.. and the Massachusetts Automobile Rating and Accident
Prevention Bureau, in the Roland Green School, Junior High
School, Main Street School, Spaulding ,School, and Paine School.
The purpose of the patrols is to prevent accidents on the streets
to pupils going between school and home, and to establish in the
pupils' minds the thought of safely crossing the street intersections.
Safety talks were also, given in all the schools, in the Fall,
by an officer from the State Police; and safety tests were admin-
istered and help was given by Miss Ida E. Schieb, State Supervisor
of Safety Education.
TESTING
A number of standard achievement tests have been administ-
erect in the schools this year. Primary Reading Test, Form A, of
the Metropolitan Achievement Tests was given in Grades 1, 2, and
3; and Advanced IReading Test, Form A., of the Metropolitan
Achievement Tests, was given in Grades 4, 5, and 6, in the Ro-
land Green School. Form V of the New Stanford Geography Test
was administered in Grades 41 5, and 6; and Advanced Arithmetic
Test, Form A, of the Metropolitan Achievement Tests, was ad-
ministered in Grades 4, 5, and 6, in the Roland Green School.
The Morrison -McCall Spelling Scale was administeredin
Grades 3, 4, 5, and G; and the Ayers Scale for Measuring Hand-
writing was used in Grades 4, 5, and 6, of the Roland Green School.
Both the Primary, and the Intermediate forms of the Metro-
politan Achievement Test, were given in the Spaulding School.
144
On the basis of the accurate information regarding the pupils'
achievement which these tests have provided, it has been possible
to classify and group pupils more accurately, analyze their achieve-
ment as a basis for remedial work, improve teaching methods, and
make supervision more effective.
The High School has again been given a "Class A" rating, by
the State Department of Education. Also, the colleges belonging
to the New England College Certificate Board, as well as a number
of other eastern colleges, accepf -graduates of the Mansfield High
School upon certificate. This means that graduates whose scholar-
ship average is "B" or better, may enter college upon certificate
from high school. The privilege of certification is extended only
to those high schools which meet certain fixed requirements of
pupil load per teacher, teacher class -hours per week, professional
preparation of their teachers, etc.
THRIFT
The pupils' savings accounts were again kept during the school
year 1933-1934; and are being kept now also. Thrift was learned
through practice as well as precept. At the end of the last school
year, June 22, 1934, the pupils of Mansfield had on deposit in
pupils' savings accounts a total of $1,347.89, which was depo,;ited
as follows: in the Mansfield Credit Union, a total of $1,312.22, and
in the First National Bank of Mansfield a total of $35.67. The
total number of pupil depositors during 1933-1934 was 418, which
makes an average net savings per pupil depositor of $3,224. In
1932-1933, the average net savings per pupil depositor were $6.37;
the total savings amounted to $2,618.58; and there were 411`pupil
depositors. The above figures do not include the savings of many
Pupils who were enrolled as pupil savers, but who had not saved
the $3.00 required before their accounts could be taken direct by
the Mansfield Credit Union.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
There are now enrolled from this town eight persons in voca-
tional schools outside of town. Five boys are taking printing,
welding, aviation, cabinet making, and machine courses in the
Boston Trade School; three attending day classes, and two, eve-
ning classes. Two are studying steam engineering in the New
Bedford Vocational School; and one girl is studying dressmaking
at the Boston Trade School for Girls. The tuitions of these eight
145
students are paid by the Town.of Mansfield, from the Town's Trade
School (Appropriation.
CHARACTER EDUCATION
Good work is being done in character education in our schools.
Each principal has a definite program for character training, suited

a major objective of our schools for this year.
HEALTH ACTIVITIES
The required physical examinations of the pupils, including
sight tests and hearing tests, have been conducted this year. Also,
a special physical examination has been made of all candidates for
athletic teams, to determine their fitness to engage in competitive
sports. The school dental clinic, with its headquarters in the
dental room at the Junior High School, has continued its work this
year, under the joint support of the Mansfield Visiting Nurse
Association, the Board of Health, and the School Department.
4 Another health activity which is being carried on during the
winter months, is the preparation and serving of simple hot lunches
of soup, cocoa, sandwiches, etc., at the John Berry School, and
the Junior High School, to those pupils who wish to remain at
school at noon. Food is also sold, at the High School.
AMERICANIZATION CLASSES
�i
r Classes for foreign -born adults, in reading, writing, and Amer-
ican history and citizenship, were held during January, February,
March, November, and December of 1934, three evenings a week,
at the, Spaulding School. Mr. Hadlock and Miss Gallup again
served as instructors. The response to these classes during the
past year has been good.
VISUAL EDUCATION
Considerable attention is being given to visual education in
the schools. The special projection boards, similar to a white
screen, which were made by the classes in manual training for use
in showing the films in the schools, have proved very helpful. The
chief difficulty which we encounter in showing the films is to ob-
tain a dark condition of the classroom, so that the picture can
146
be seen. Particularly when the ground is covered with snow, it
has been impossible to darken the classrooms sufficiently to secure
good results with the films. However, a number, of pictures have
been shown.
Six educational films were shown in the schools. These films
were selected and shown with a view to motivating the teaching of
certain parts of geography, and civics.
JUNIOR RED CROSS
Junior Red Cross activities were re-established in our schools
in the Spring of 1933, and are demonstrating their value in char-
acter formation, in teaching the pupils to be unselfish, and in
broadening their interests to include groups of people outside their
own community, and country. One of the activities carried on was
the making of quilts, toys, games, and other articles for disabled
veterans in veterans' hospitals, children in childrens' hospitals, and
Pupils in foreign lands.
Your superintendent, with several Mansfield teachers, and
officers of the Mansfield Chapter of the Red Cross, attended and
took part in the Junior Red Cross Institute held in Providence,
R. I., March 17, 1934; also, a similar Junior Red Cross conference
which was held in Boston last October. Discussions, and talks on
Junior Red Cross activities as carried on in the schools, formed
the basis of these institutes.
An exhibit of articles made by the pupils was held in a down-
town store window in Mansfield. The "Junior Red Cross Magazine"
is being received and used in all the schools. The spirit of coop-
eration toward Junior Red Cross activities shown by the teachers
has been excellent. Miss Maude Lewis, Assistant National Di-
rector of the Junior Red Cross, who visited all of our schools on
October 25th, expressed herself as well pleased with the way
Junior Red Cross activities are conducted in the schools of Mans-
field.
CHANGE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HOURS
The time of opening and closing the sessions of the elemen-
tary schools was changed during the Spring term of 1934. These
schools now open at 8:45 A. M., and close at 3:15 P. M. with the
exception of the three rural schools, which close at 3:00 P. M., on
147 .i
account of having one hour intermission at noon. The change in
elementary hours was made in order to reduce the time which the
Junior High School pupils coming by bus from West Mansfield and
East Mansfield have to wait for the bus to take them home.
CHANGES IN TEACHING FORCE
At the close of the school year 1933-1934, Mr. Everett W.
Robinson, who had served as principal of the Mansfield High School
since 1924, resigned as principal, and Mr. W. Everett Green, for
two years teacher of chemistry, physics, and economics, and coach
of varsity basketball, was appointed principal. Mr. Robinson con-
tinues as teacher of history, economics, and "Problems in Demo-
cracy".
The increase in the enrollment in the Commercial Department
of the 'High School over 'a period of years required., this year, an
additional teacher. Miss Dorothy' Pope, who had served as a
teacher in the Junior High School ' since September, 1930, was
transferred to the teaching staff of the High School to teach sales-
manship, commercial geography, and plane geometry. Harold L.
Qualters, of South Main Street, Mansfield, was chosen to fill the
vacancy at the 'Junior' High School. ' Mr. Qualters teaches com-
mercial ` arithmetic,' business' practice, and English.
Through the resignation of Miss Cather yn Lord from the Com-
mercial Department of the High School, another vacancy occurred,
which was filled by the appointment of Miss Elsa H. Henchel of
Greenfield. Miss Henchel teaches all of the typewriting. She was
graduated, with the degree of B.S. in Ed., from the Salem Teachers
College, in 1933. The vacancy in the principalship of the Spauld-
ing School, caused by the resignation of Miss Pearl Kerr late in
December, 1933, was filled by the appointment of Miss Emma L.
Shapleigh, fourth grade teacher in the ,Spaulding School, to the
principalship; and the vacancy in the first grade, which Miss Kerr
taught, , was filled by the transfer of Mrs. Sarah Scott, from the
Hall School to Grade One at the Spaulding School. Miss Mar-
garet Palladino of Bella Vista Avenue, Mansfield, was chosen as
teacher of the Hall School, and began January 2, 1934.
NEW EQUIPMENT
The blackboard space in the High School has been increased
through the installing of four new sections of natural slate black-
148
board in two classrooms. A large study table and study chairs
have been added to the study hall, and a table and two chairs
were provided for the teachers' rest room; also a new desk in
the principal's office, and several visitors' chairs. Forty-five new
pupils' desks of the movable type were added to the equipment of
the High School. A number of new visitors' chairs were supplied
to the Junior High School, and a new table for the principal's office
in the Main Street School. The usual amount of maps and other
small equipment which is required every year as replacements, was
bought this year.
REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS
Repairs and maintenance jobs of many kinds have had to be
done almost constantly throughout the year. A program of repairs
and improvements, to be carried on with the assistance of labor
from the local Civil Works Program, was laid out early in January,
1934. A part of these repairs were completed with C.W.A. labor,
during the first three months of the year. After the absorption of
the C.W.A. by the F.E.R.A. on April 1, 1934, the workmen assigned
to the School Department continued until the warm weather came,
when all but three left for private employment. Although we have
been fortunate to have available several men for repairs and main-
tenance as above stated, other repairs have required the services of
men outside the C.W.A., and the welfare roll.
During 1934, the School Department received, in March, an al-
lotment of $1440. from the Civil Works Administration for labor
costs on School repair projects. This was in addition to an allot-
ment of $1558.20 of C.W.A. funds which were made available to
the Department in December, 1933.
About five hundred school books were repaired in the Junior
High School, Main Street School, and Spaulding School, during
1934, by women E.R.A. workers. Eight hundred seventy-one text-
books were rebound, by a book binding company, during the sum-
mer vacation. The salvaging and repairing of all these books, so
that they can be used again, saved the town several hundred dol-
lars, which new books would have cost.
Another valuable project which was carried out with E.R.A.
labor, in 1934, was the copying of 1,400 school record cards of the
graduates, and former students of Mansfield High School, begin-
ning with the class of 1895. These duplicate record cards, showing
149
the scholarship and attendance of all former students, are filed in
a vault in the Town Hall, for safe keeping; the original records be-
ing kept at the High School.
At the High School, a transformer -rectifier was installed to
replace batteries for the classroom clock and bell system. The in-
stallation of this rectifier will eliminate the necessity for the re-
placement, and repair of wet batteries, as well as furnish sufficient
current to operate the clocks and bells properly, which was not al-
ways the case with batteries. New grate bars were installed in
one furnace; a number of the old toilets were repaired; a number
of the typewriters were repaired; and all loose window panes were
puttied.
At the Main Street School, all of the desks in two classrooms
were sanded and refinished; and the toilets were repaired. A large
storage cabinet was built for storing supplies. A new chimney was
built, overcoming a long-standing difficulty of a poor draught to
the fires.
In November, the heating plant in the High School reached the
point where it was both unsafe, and impossible to supply the needs
of the building properly. A new Burnham smokeless steam boiler,
of 19.1 sq. ft. of grate surface, was installed, replacing one of the
old boilers which was found to be too worn out to make further
repairs upon it advisable. The old piping in back of the boilers was
replaced with better and more direct piping; the indirects, and the
returns were replaced or repaired; some new air valves were in-
stalled, and holes in the foundation of the one remaining old boiler
were patched up. The Board of Selectmen, at a meeting held
November 22, 1934, authorized the School Department to spend up
to $2,000. over the 1934 School Appropriation, to make these emer-
gency repairs on the heating plant of the High School.
The steam heating systems of the Paine School, Spaulding
Schools and Main Street School were given a "blow -down" and
clean-out. A number of repairs were also made to the heating
systems of these schools, such as new returns on the steam lines
at the Spaulding School, and a galvanized iron jacket and fresh 'air
intake around the stove in the Hall ,School. A radiator was 'in-
stalled in the boys' shower room at the High School.
Some patching was done on the John Berry, and Roland Green .
;School roofs; and at the latter school cracks in the outside walls,`
150
and between the brickwork amd the windowcasings, were cemented.
The walls of two classrooms were repainted.
A major job accomplished in the Fall was the painting of the
Spaulding School, and the interior of the Main Street School. The
interior of the Paine School was painted during the summer; and
the ceilings of the John Berry School. Seventy-five feet of galvan-
ized chain-link fence was put in at the Junior High School, re-
placing a broken-down picket fence.
Some filling and grading was done on the playground behind
the Roland Green School.
The above named repairs constitute only a partial list, but it
does contain the more important repairs made during 1934.
A list of repairs and replacements needed during 1935 has
been made up, and the School Budget for 1935 has been planned in
accordance with these needs. A survey of the repair and replace-
ment needs for the next five years has been started, with a view to
spreading out the repairs which are needed, over a period of years,
and planning to accomplish a certain amount each year.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. That $1,345.00 be included in the appropriation for 1935,
for the employment, and transportation expenses, of a full-time
Music Supervisor, to begin work at once.
2. That $504.00 be included in the appropriation, for employ
ing, beginning in September, a teacher of the Italian language and
Commercial English, in t1he High School.
3. That $1,750.00 be included in the appropriation, for repairs
and improvements on the heating plant of the John Berry School.
4. That $8,312.83 be included in the appropriation, for restor-
ation of one-half of the 20 per cent salary cut, to the teachers,
school nurse, school doctor, attendance officer, clerk, domestic
science assistant, and janitors.
Attention is invited to the reports of the Principal of the High
School, Principal of the Junior High School, School Physician, and
School Nurse, which are printed at the end of this report.
151
The past year has been a trying one. The limited appropriation
under which we have had to operate the schools has forced a con-
tinuation of the twenty per cent cut in salaries, and rigid economy
in the buying of fuel, textbooks, supplies, pupil transportation, etc.
In spite of this, however, I feel that the level of the work done in
our schools has been kept up very well. Much credit for this should
be given to our teachers, whose unfailing devotion to their work
has inspired the excellent efforts of the pupils.
In closing, I wish to express my appreciation to the School
Committee, to our teachers, to our Parent-Teacher Associations, to
the several service clubs, and to the people of Mansfield for their
fine cooperation with me in the work of the schools during 1934.

REPORTOF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Mr. George S. Goodell,
Superintendent of Schools,
Mansfield, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my first report as principal of the Senior
High School.
The program of studies offered this year is the same as last
year, with the addition of "Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick"
and "Problems in Democracy". The latter course will be open to
Juniors starting next September. At present it is open to both
Juniors and Seniors, in order that the _present Seniors ,may have an
opportunity to study this new course. The course in Democracy
deals with the study of the functions of local, state, and federal
government with emphasis upon present conditions, especially taxa-
;tion, foreign affairs, present day legislation, and the relation of
government to present day social and economic conditions.
Character education is being regarded as an objective in all
classes. Punctuality, honesty, neatness, thrift, industry, respect,

another winter sport.
The teaching staff of the Senior High School has been enlarged
by the addition of a teacher. Because of this change, the size of
some classes has been reduced, making it possible for the instruc-.
tors to devote more time giving special help to individual students.
An attempt has been made to utilize all of the available space
in each room by the addition of new equipment such as desks,
chairs, blackboards, and bulletin boards. This has made it pos-
sible to accommodate larger classes and to help relieve an over-
crowded condition.
Activity beyond the classroom includes a Latin club, a French
club, an English club, and athletics. All of the above-named or-
ganizations are very active and offer an opportunity for the am-
bitious student to broaden his social and educational scope. In
November the Senior Class play was presented before a large
audience.
A Speaking Contest was held last Spring in order to develop
some speakers to represent the Senior High School incase the
Singleton Contest is renewed in 1935. It is hoped that this im-
portant feature will be provided for in the yearly appropriation.
An attempt is being made to organize an orchestra in the
Senior High .School. Mr. Dickinson is giving one hour of his time
each week for this organization. It is hoped that more students
will take advantage of this opportunity for musical instruction.
As a matter of record, the following summary is included:
Boys' Basketball: played 16 games—won 6, lost 10. Winner of
second place in Class A—Brockton Tournament. Coach, W. Ever-
ett Green.
Girls' Basketball: The Sophomore girls won the interclass tourna-
ment. Coach, Eloise Delano.
Baseball: played 9 games—won 7, tied 1, lost 1. Coach, John A.
Carnie.
Football: played 7 games—won 2, tied 1, lost 4. Coach, John A.

tRequired in the Scientific Course,, elective in the College Course.
The curriculum in the Manual Arts Department could be en-
riched by adding an elementary course in Art Metal Craft. This
course would be conducted along educational lines to acquaint the
pupils with the fundamentals of industrial technique.
This curriculum offers the student thorough training in the
fundamental subjects, and is drawn up so as to meet the needs of
all students, whether they follow the commercial, scientific, or
college preparatory; course in the Senior high school.
A change in the course of study for grade eight was made
after a conference with the Superintendent of Schools, the Head
of the Foreign Language Department in the High School, and the
Junior High ,School authorities. A course in Latin will be intro-
duced into grade eight during the latter half of the year. This
course is open to students who intend to follow the college prepara-
tory course in grade nine. The Latin course will conform to that
outlined in the State Syllabus of Education..

the students are establishing habits of thrift. A school safety
patrol has been organized to teach the pupils prudence and caution
on the highways. They are urged not to take any risks or unnec
,essary chances at dangerous crossings and to stay on the sidewalks
on their way to and from school. This instruction and supervision
arouses a sense of responsibility and enables them to become law
abiding citizens in the community.
The power of self-control and self-direction has been developed
through club activities. The various clubs established at the
Junior High School were the Press, Dramatic, Orchestra, Girls'
Glee, French, Sewing, Manual Training, Four-H, and Study Clubs.
The Junior High School contributed to the Red Cross and
evinced a decided interest in the activities of this association. The
student enrolment for the past two years has been one hundred
per cent. The manual training and sewing departments have made
many useful gifts for the local Red Cross Chapter during the past
year, and their efforts were greatly appreciated. A similar pro-
gram is being organized in these departments for the coming year.
The manual training classes have done some first-class work
in making tables and benches for the new cafeteria. The project
has been a very educational and worthy one, deserving commenda-
tion.
The new cafeteria promises to provide for the comfort of
those students who are obliged to spend the noon hour in the school
building. Hot lunches will be served to these pupils during the
winter months. From a view point of health, such facilities, now
amply provided, have been needed in the past.
The Harloway Instrumental Class is held each week in the
Junior High School. This year the instructor has volunteered his
services to organize a school orchestra.
The athletic program has created considerable interest. The
boys have responded by showing a fine spirit of cooperation and
responsibility. Football games were played with other schools
and interclass games were conducted in basketball and baseball.
The athletic appropriation for the Junior High School has cost
the town the small sum of fifty dollars for all sports. Considering
the number of boys who participated and the benefits derived from
157
I
he contests, the money so spent may be regarded as a good in-
vestment.
The examinations for defective sight and hearing showed that
out, of three hundred and sixty-eight pupils tested, thirty-five had
defective eyesight and four had difficulty with their hearing. All
cases that were in any respect subnormal were called to the atten-
tion of the parents.
National Education week was observed in the Junior High
School. Special invitations were extended to the parents to visit
the school and observe the work in the various classes. The re-
sponse was very gratifying. Similar interest was aroused in the
exhibit conducted last spring.
The cooperation and interest between the parents and teachers
together with your helpful supervision has assisted greatly in
maintaining a high scholastic standard. I take this opportunity to
express my gratitude and appreciation to you and all those who
have taken an active interest in the Junior High .School during
the past year.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Mr. George S. Goodell,
Superintendent of Schools,
Mansfield, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit a brief report of my work for the past year.
During the past year Mrs. Vallett, School Nurse, and I exam-
ined 1289 pupils. These examinations showed the children were in
a good condition.
In September eighty boys were examined for football practice.
These examinations were very rigid. This month, December, eight
158
more boys were examined for basketball. During the football sea-
son that closed Thanksgiving Day, I"attended every game in town
and out of town.
During October and November the Toxin -Anti -Toxin treat-
ments were given to 49 children. These treatments were given on
three consecutive Thursdays, and are for the prevention of diphthe-
ria. The Schick tests were not given this Fall. This was done on
the advice of Health Officer for this district, who did not think
they were necessary.
This year 290 contagious diseases were reported. In the Win-
ter and Spring we had an epidemic of measles. At present, we
are getting over a smaller epidemic of chicken pox. Not a case of
diphtheria has been reported, and very few cases of scarlet fever.
All of these cases, unless attended by a physician, have necessitated
a "'Return to School" card, which I have furnished the children or
parents.
Owing to the depression, very few cards have been furnished
to children who desire to work after school hours.
Thanking you for your cooperation, I am
Respectfully,

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. George S. Goodell
Superintendent of Schools,
Mansfield, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
My fifth annual report as school nurse is herewith submitted
for your approval.
Physical examinations were given by Dr. Sullivan to 1289 pu-
pils at the beginning of the Fall term. Eighty-eight boys who
participated in the school athletics at the High and Jr. High Schools
159
were given a strict examination. JAIL serious defects were reported
to the parents,with the °'recommendation that the family physician
be consulted.
Milk and crackers were served in six of our schools to the un-
derweight and needy` children. Through the kindness of the Rotary
Club, the Lions Club, and the Parent-Teacher Association, seventy
bottles of milk a day are being distributed to these children.
Forty-nine pre-school children received the Toxin Anti -toxin
-treatment for the prevention of diphtheria.
Eight children were ,given four weeks each at the Bristol
County Health Camp, through the sale of Christmas seals and the
generosity of the Rotary Club. These children were selected from
the Chadwick Clinic and underweight list. Each child showed a
gain of several pounds.
The Dental Clinic has been carried on as in previous years,
through the cooperation of the District Nurse Association. It is
now in operation at the Central Junior High School.
In March, the State Department of Public Health X-rayed and
-examined 34 pupils who remained on the ten-year program of the
Chadwick Clinic. Improvement was shown, in every case, from the
previous year. The parents' were present, and were advised by a
physician and nutritionist as to the diet and care of the child.
The Summer round -up was carried on during the month of
May, and proved to be a success. Of 105 first -grade pupils enter-
ing school last September, 77 were examined by their family physi-
cians. 'Thirty-five were found to have had defective tonsils. Dur -
ring the summer, through the services of the various surgeons and
clinics, 21 cases were corrected.
The tri -yearly weighing and measuring of the pupils is one of
our greatest projects` in teaching the pupils to keep physically fit
and to build up a strong body.
There has been introduced into the High School a Red Cross
course in "Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick". This is an elec-
tive course and is available to the Sophomore girls. Thirty hours
of class work is required to complete this course and to receive, in
addition to one credit point, a Red Cross certificate. The equip-
160
ment which is being used for this course is furnished by the Mans-
field Chapter of the Red Cross.
During the year the .School Clinic Division of the State Depart-
ment of Mental Diseases examined twelve children who were three
years or more retarded in their school grade. Through the judg-
ment and diagnosis of the psychiatrist, three children were assigned
to our Special Class, and two were recommended for institutional
care.
Two hundred ninety cases of communicable diseases have been
reported among the school children. The incubation periods of
these diseases were so light that the symptoms were not easily de-
tected. Due to this condition, the control of those diseases was most
difficult.
