We still have three wooden bridges on Otis, West and Mill ts, respectively, and they should be built of concrete structure aid the maintenance cost. We also should consider the build - f concrete culverts at each street opening near the Brack Bay �. No ,doubt these culverts would help the water situation gh that section of the community. We also must keep in mind the development of our water m. 'The laying .of an eight -inch main for a second source pply across the town should be considered on Hope Street. 32 This will ,give an independent source of supply frox Street near the Chocolate Refiners, Incorporated to the Chauncy ;and North Main. Streets. We -also must consid early date the extension of water mains in the outlyin If the Federal Government continues with the furnishi power, it will give us the best ,possible opportunity foi developments and extensions.. No better time could be complete the town program on this particular plan. (4.) We must soon consider a definite program of sid, struction through the Back Bay district of the town, The old Tarvia sidewalks are not in good condition. (5.) I believe that we should continue with our progran age work, and on this account we should complete the the Back Bay Brook to, speed the water out of the residi as fast as it is humanly possible to do so. (6.) As in past years, I must again call to your att condition of rusty water that develops. The procedure inating the rust from the mains is very expensive, but carried out at some early date, and an allowance will I made in the Water Department budget to take care of The rust condition is fast becoming a menace to our wai (7.) I believe that we should continue to develop tl Street area, so-called, for athletic purposes. It certai be a very desirable sp-ot for the community to have in ful I realize that these items cannot be carried out i year, but I feel it is well to outline them as, a general pi You will notice I have avoided, as a general item un( mendations, the question of a sewerage system, but thi is one of the most serious problems facing the communi Thank you for your cooperation in the past, and ax a more prosperous year for the community, I remain Yours respectfully, H.

Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM H. LYONS Sealer of Weights and Measures 76 Fire Department December To the Board of Selectmen, I hereby submit the following report of the Fire Depart for the year 1933. During the year the Department has answered the follc calls, 14 Box alarms, 38 Squad calls, 21 still ;alarms, and 19 si (W. Mansfield), making a total of 92. With fewer box alarm; practically no woods fires during the fall months, the total were considerably less than for several years past. This year as last, the greatest single loss was in West 1♦ field, when the so-called Pine Hill camp, a resort for su children, burned. When the Department arrived the building completely involved and became a total loss. Fortunately occured before the opening of the summer season when many might have been endangered. It is very gratifying to report that the fire losses were sn during the past year than for any year since 1912, there a building loss of $2640.00 and a loss on contents of $1775.00. exact amount of insurance paid is not yet available, but wit: exception of $200 on uninsured buildings ,and $235.00 loss .on tents, balance was covered by insurance. On April 24th, while responding to .a call for aid at a fi East Norton., one of the camshafts in the motor of the Seal pump broke off, causing the pump to be laid up for several m One of their service men was sent out and a thorough overha of the motor, transmission, and rear end, was made. Aftex was completed the Ladder truck was given a similar overhaul The apparatus. is in ;good condition, mechanically, but painting is needed, the two small combination trucks espec should be painted this year. The Chief's car (Buick roadst( badly in need of paint, but after 11 years of service it is h worth the expense. This car should be replaced with some car safer to operate and costing less to maintain. The ambu has answered 55 calls during the year, making a total milea; 1934 miles. State regulations were issued this year effective June requiring permits for the storage of fuel oil in quantities ov gallons. 747 permits have been issued, and the inspectic 77 ams has been nearly completed. The fire ,alarm system is in good condition with the exception the repeater, which was a second hand instrument when pur- ased by the Town a number of years .ago. When the new build- was erected in 1930 the Gamewell Co. recommended a new in- .-ament to replace it, but in order to keep within the appropriation that time the matter was postponed. The replacemen of this trument should be seriously considered. The Central Station remains in good condition. Some painting 11 be required, especially the floor of apparatus room which is bjected to hard wear. After the fire in Hose No. 3 building at West Mansfield, the mer of building made necessary repairs and painted walls and [ling inside. All hose was tested during the year and sections showing lakness were removed from service. Hose bursting while in mce may often cause serious results. I would recommend the 'rchase of 500 ft. of 2.1/2 in. hose for the coming year. Durinjg Sept. and Oct. men from the C. �C. C. camp at So. ,xboro, dug out 16 water holes in sections of the town not cov- ed by hydrant service, which will give the Department a supply water for woods and building fires. Inspection of stores and garages have been made, also schools d other public buildings, in the interest of fire prevention. I wish to thank the other department heads for their co -opera - )n, also the Selectmen and Town Manager for their support and sistance during the year. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR E. SOPER, Chief 78 79 uea,ders. Miss S,aley's four sixth grade classes, as inother years, Public LibraryTrustees are reading the State Reading Lists for certificates. The Paine cho,ol had the largest circulation. During the year four lots of hooks, 50 or more in a lot, were sent to that school. These cir- TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN, z culated 3,067 times.

The 1933 report of the Trustees of the Public Library is juste Books are mended ,and remended, until the only remedy is re - the reverse -of the report submitted a year ago. Then we reportecL ding. At the present time there are 200 books waiting for a large increase in the circulation at the desk, in West Mansfield oney so that the y y can be sent to the binder Some books are and in the schools. This year there is a decrease at every point, too far gone for that. East Mansfield fell to 402, West Mansfield to 2,388. The desk circulation .was 54,687, .or 3,376 less than the year before. The need at the Public Library is books, books, books! school total of 5,306 makes the best showing as that is only 60 below that of 1932. The grand circulation total was 62,808, which �q Respectfully submitted, is 4,448 below the 1932 total. ' Everett W. Robinson, Chairman The increase of circulation during 1932 was credited in part Jennie F. Copeland, Secretary to lack of employment ,and more leisure to read. Since there has Fred W. Day not been ;an appreciable increase of employment in town we must Annie A. Horton look further for the reason for the loss of readers, and we do not - Beulah E. Jay need to seek very far. No business can expect a very lively trade if they have no goods to offer. The stock in the Public Library is very low. While in 1932 INSPECTOR OF WIRES we bought but 482 (books there were many fairly new- books left over from the previous years when we were buying- nearly a ` January 9, 1934. thousand books a year. In 1933, because of the big cut in our appropriation, we were able to buy only 227 books! We shall have Mr. Harold H. Everett, Town Mgr., to go back more than twelve years to find• so low a figure in the =f Mansfield, Mass. purchase of books. Would-be readers come to the Library, look over the shelves, and go away empty-handed. The Library has - Dear Sir: nothing to offer. I respectfully submit the following report of the wire in - Fewer books have been borrowed from the Inter-Lilbrary loan, f spector for 1933. I have made (60) sixty inspections and found because we have been obliged to .ask borrowers to pay the postale _ them done according to the standard specifications adopted by the National Electric Light Association.

Everett Town Manager Mansfield, Mass. Dear Sir: Following is my report of the Police Department for the 1933:— During the past year there have been no serious crimes mitted in the Town, the arrest list showing 93 arrests wi felonies. In comparison with other Towns of nearly the population, this would seem to indicate that Mansfield is a I ful and law-abiding community. Receipts from fines have quite small; $385.00 have been returned to the Town and $ assessed for motor vehicle violations have been paid to the ;Arrests for motor vehicle offenses have been less than only four drunken operators have been arrested .and but operators have been brought into Court for other auto,mobil lations. Reported accidents where personal injuries have re amount to but twelve, :a, very small number considering the amount of travel over our streets during the year. Unfortur one of these accidents resulted - in the death of a child, but to the unusual circumstances connected with this tragedy, was caused by an automobile backing ,over the child who was ing in the street, the Court found the operator not guilty of inal negligence. The local Motor Vehicle Inspectors assist the investigation of this and the other more serious accident their help is much appreciated. The death ,of Arthur C. Conrad was a distinct loss to the bership of the Department; his efficient Police work and ch manner will long be remembered by his associates as well public he served for over eleven years as .a Police Officer_ a Town. A Police Signal System is badly needed, as at the p time no check of the movements of the Patrolmen is possib] 81 se .of trouble there is nothing to show where the Officer might been at the time. This service is of more protection to the Amen than- to the public and should be installed as soon as ces permit. Equipment for the Department and Officers is in fair condi- L ;and with the exception of small replacements will probably 5 service for at least another year.

WALKER, Chairman 86 ANNUAL REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL Board of Selectmen, Mansfield, Massachusetts. Gentlemen — Annual Report January i The bad times we have been going through have been rE in a considerable increase in the legal business of the To the past year. In one rather important case there was a ence .of opinion with the City of Boston in rega--d to the d( of a Mansfield resident receiving aid from the Town. The :( Boston disputed the charge back for the advances made court decided that Boston was the domicile and should p' bills. The department heads of the Town have frequently advice as to the legality of wage reductions and especially gards the salary reductions of school teachers. No litigat resulted so far, although one teacher has sued the Town for of contract for the closing of one of the outside schools. T provides that a school may be closed and the teacher dismis reason of decreased attendance. That was the only rea,s' the dismissal and it would seem to be a good defense to the The School Committee sought to compromise the matter ` l tending a new, contract to the teacher, but the latter insistee putting into the contract the statement that she did not any rights against the Town. There was no magic in these and the teacher would not have waived any rights by accep new contract and could still have litigated her case in coui as a result, further misunderstandings arose .and the mat now before the courts. The case, is is regrettable one fr( angles. One jury case was tried out in reference to land dama.g( a partial taking on South Main Street. An award of substar $1,000 was made against the Town. Inasmuch as the petii lost two shade trees, a hedge and a substantial part of her the writer does not think the ,award was excessive. 87 There arose the matter of the issuance of permits for light es and beers and ,after the repeal of Prohibition there came the �stion as to whether licenses could be issued before a vote at vn Meeting. If the Town votes dry, there will be an interest - question as to the validity of the beer and wine permits which re been already issued, but Congress has ruled that 3.2 is non- Dxicating. Lard times have also caused a good deal of business before Tax Appeal Board. One manufacturer is claiming a tremend- deduction on its assessment. It will be some time before the e is reached for trial. Owing to the shattering ,of all values, appeals have become something .of a racket, in which our Nn is to have ,a share apparently. The replacement values of concern in question will probably run well into the millions, for tax purposes the concern claims actual values in the thou - ;ds. If the big manufacturers are successful in their demands, al home owners will have to pay the increased burden. The question of milk has also taken up considerable time. ie distributor who- delivers pretty much all over the State has en after a license, but so far without success. There ,are plenty milk producers within easy access of the Town to take care of the milk requirements. If the large milk distributors who re- ive milk from the West .and the North are able to compete with e local producers in .a price war, the latter will all be put out of siness and further taxable values in the Town destroyed. Fif- m years ago there were 32,000 milk producers in Massachusetts d now there are less than 19,000. If the big distributors have eir way, in a few years more, local producers will be pretty wh out of business, the West .and the North will supply the mmonwealth with milk and the consumer who miht have had eaper milk in the meantime, will then have to pay a tremendous ;cease when the distributors have ,accomplished their purpose. A large variety of other 'natters have called for legal atten- during the year, but in ,a. general way the above outline will r the more important matters.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE AND Superintendent of Schools TO THE TOWN OF MANSFIELD 1933 ill REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE For the Year 1933 the Honorable Board of Selectmen the Citizens of the Town ,of Mansfield: The Board of Education of the Town of Mansfield submits its ual report of the condition of your schools for the year ending ,mber 31, 1933. The program of repairs for the upkeep of the school property is continued along similar and economical lines as that of the -eceeding ye -ax. The appropriation .of $84,000. being the lowest hool budget since the year 1920 was inadequate to meet all the penditures for the year 1933. This was due to the fact that e 20% reduction for all the school employees did not take effect ,til after the annual Town Meeting in February. Consequently, was necessary to ask the tax payers of the town to transfer the In sof $3,347. from the Town's Overlay Fund to meet all obliga- ans. The School Committee gratefully acknowledges the sup - rt of the town voters in this respect. The work of the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. George S. Modell, has been very satisfactory. Through his untiring efforts a capable executive the town, and consequently the tax piay- have profitted 'considerably from State reimbursements. Dur - the year 1933 the reimbursements from the State to the town Lounted to $16,147.91 which is $4,722.71 more than any other ar in the history of the town. Therefore, the total net cost of schools to the tax payers for the year 1933 was $71,199.07. Several changes in the curriculum have been effected. Many discontinued editions of text -books which were still in use in schools have been replaced by up-to-date volumes. At the ;inning of the school year in Sept. 1933 it was found necessary I practical to close temporarily the Whiteville School because a decrease in the total number of pupils in the schools 'of the ,n. This privilege is extended to the School Committee by the to By -Laws in Education. N 112 The School Committee wishes to call the attention Honorable Boiard of Selectmen and the citizens of our _,t the serious situation of the lack of accommodation of the in the Junior and Senior High Schools. Both buildings a crowded. The time has come when it is of paramount imp to consider the seriousness of the situation if we wish to p the education of our school children and meet the demands times. The project of a new high school building or an ex addition to this present .one could be advantageously con at the present by both the School Committee and the P, Board of the town. The Board of Education wishes to express its sincere tude for cooperation received from the Board of Selectm Town Manager, and the other departments of the towil school enrollment, the financial statement, and other im' data in detail will be submitted by the Superintendent of Respectfully submitted, CARL J.

The report of the Superin- ;endent of Schools in 1910 states that the population of Mansfield )ythe census of 1890 was 3,455, and that twenty years later, in L910, it had increased to 5,183. By 1930, the town's population lad increased to 6,364. The number of pupils enrolled the Spring ;erm of 1891 was 578, ,and by the Spring term of 1910 it had in- ;reased to 1002 pupils. The total ,enrollment of the schools as of October 2, 1933, was 1369. This represents a gain in pupil en- rollment of 367 pupils, or 36.63 per cent over 1910; and a gain >f" 791 pupils, or 136.85 per cent over 1891. In 1891 it required sixteen teachers for all the schools in the ;own; in 1910 it required thirty-one teachers; and now, in De - ;ember, 1933, it requires 48 teachers: We therefore see that while ;he gain in pupil enrollment since 1891 has been 136.85 per cent, ;he number of teachers employed by the town at present shows m increase .of 200 per cent, although both the Music Supervisor ind the Drawing Supervisor have been eliminated. The chief Ye,a- >on for a 200 per cent increase in teachers over the past 42 -year ?eriod, as compared with a 136.85 per cent increase in pupil en- . llment, is the enrichment of the curriculum in Grades IX, X, U, and XII. CURRICULUM Several important improvements have been :made during the 118 year in the curricula of the Junior High School and the Se High School. Hygiene is now being taught in Grades 7 an and Vocational Guidance was introduced last March in Grad A course .in Geography has been added to the curriculum in Gi 8. In, the High School, French was drop'p'ed from the Commez Course, and Spanish was kept in the course. In the College Preparatory Course, Algebra II was adde the Sophomore year, and is required of all Sophomores ta: the College Preparatory Course. This adds another "reasa course" to the curriculum, and gives a better balance between "reasoning courses" and the "memory courses." Algebra II also greatly strengthen the subjects presented for college trance by the students taking the College Preparatory Co -urs Ancient History was moved from the Junior year to Sophomore year. Plane Geometry, a subject which requires soning, perception, and imagination, was removed from the So; more year and put in the Junior year, and is compulsory for lege preparatory students. Trigonometry and Solid Geom, have been moved from the Junior year to the Senior year, and continued as electives. Other changes which have been made during the year in Junior High School curriculum ;are: Latin was dropped from eighth grade, and is now begun in the ninth grade. Algeb equations are now included in Grade 8 arithmetic, the last. months of the school year. Spelling, penmanship, and chara training, are three other subjects which were introduced in Junior High School during 1932-1933, and which are being, tained in the curriculum. General science, literature, spell and character training, are all being retained in the ninth gY this year. Mechanical drawing, which is elective for College,,;I p.aratory Course students, and required for Scientific Course dents in Grade Nine, .and which was introduced during 1932-1' is being continued this year. The differentiation -of courses into College Preparatory, entific, and Commercial, now starts at the beginning of Gr Nine. The pupils in Grade Seven all take the same subjects, the pupils in Grade Eight all take the same subjects. The Junior High School began in September, 1933, using per cent method of grading pupils' work, instead of the letter 119 This brings the marking system of the Junior High School conformity with the marking system used in the Senior High ool, and thus facilitates the transfer of pupils from the Junior h ,School into the Senior High School. The pupils' report cards both schools, however, continue to be made out in letters, the smuting from letters to fiigures being done in the offices of >e schools. An improved form of pupil's report card has been pted for the elementary schools. SUPERVISION OF INSTRUCTION Your Superintendent has given much attention and effort to e matter of making and keeping the instruction in the several pools upon a plane of high efficiency. This is being done through ;its to all of the classrooms, for purposes of observation of the 3truction and the pupils' efforts in learning the lessons being light. These visits to the classrooms often include a short con- rence with each individual teacher at recess time or following missal, for the purpose of improving the technic of instruc- in, and of getting results. Teachers 'meetings have been held the Superintendent for the purpose of giving instructions, im- oving the teaching, and getting better results. At the December seting an outside speaker, Dr. Samuel Grafflin, editor, author, d lecturer, from White Plains, N. Y., addressed the teachers on the subject, "What the World is Going to Ask of our Stu- nts." Your Superintendent has held nine teachers' meeting's ring the year, beginning in, March. A number of school bulle- is have been prepared by the Superintendent, mimeographed, d distributed to the teachers. These school bulletins have con- ned suggestions for the improvement of reading and of other c)jects; suggestions regarding the efficient conduct of fire -drills; tructions for the observance by the schools of patriotic holi- ys, such as Memorial Day, Armistice Day, etc. 'The supervision given by the several principals to their teach - has also been a most helpful factor in keeping the instruction to a high level, and in systematizing the routine work of these Although, for reasons of economy, the schools have this year had the services of an art supervisor, and have had the ser- s of .a music supervisor for the first six months of the year these subjects are still being taught by the teachers, nearly of whom are normal school .graduates. It is hoped that .at 120 121' some time not too far distant, the town may again be able tain the services of qualified supervisors of art, and music EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES The natural desire for wholesome play has been encou Organized athletics have been carried on in both our Senior School and Junior High School, with fine results. The spor ship of the Mansfield teams in all sports in which they hav( peted has been favorably recognized by their opponents. In the Junior High School, one period each week is knc the club period. During this time, Four-H clubs for botl and .girls meet, as well as a French club, a glee club, a dr club, and other clubs. In the High School, club and social ties are also encouraged as an .offset to the mental work re by the curricula. The High School also put on a play in N ber which afforded an opportunity for the development o matic talents. The Junior :High School has continued the pi tion of the "Junior Times," a pupil -written school paper, the supervision of the English Department. EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES Teachers' meetings have been held as above noted. Si ,of our teachers are taking evening courses in various collet Boston. The reading of professional books by our teachers ing encouraged. A small library of professional books has started in the office of the Superintendent, and these book being borrowed and read by a large number of our teacher American Education Week was obs-erved in the schooh November, with many parents visiting. Your Superintendent, High School Principal, and instru of the Special Class, were .given permission to attend the ani meeting of the Bristol County Teachers' Association which held in Fall River on October 27. The Superintendent also att ed the annual conference of the New England Association 'School Superintendents, and the Massachusetts School Supe tendents' Association held at the Statehouse in Boston on Nov ber 16th and 17th. The Superintendent attended the Spring ( ference of Superintendents of Schools held at the $ridgew, Teachers' College in April. EM TEXTBOOKS AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES Expenditures for textbooks and school supplies were kept at _lowest amounts consistent with efficient instruction. The re- Aing of many used textbooks during the summer, and the ex- mging between teachers aof sets of books, helped to save money the taxpayers. 'The schools were well supplied with textbooks the beginning of the Fall team. Only a very few introductions new books have been made, and these -were to take the place old books that were entirely unsuited for the purpose. The arage life of a school book is five years. As the old books wear L, they are replaced. In cases where a better and more up -to- te book is needed, these are, bought for replacement after being proved by the School Committee. Books and supplies have been purchased at the lowest cost ob- inable. A share of the paper and other supplies for operating e' schoaols has been bought in Mansfield. All supplies have been the schools when they opened, so that no time has been wasted getting started at the beginning of each term. HEALTH EDUCATION The health of the ,pupils in the Mansfield schools has been aintained at a high level during 1933. The teachers in the ele- entary schools are giving health instruction; health teaching is so given in the .Junior 'High School. The school nurse has been L duty on school days throughout the year, visiting the schools d ,giving attention to all cases referred to her by the teachers. ie follow-up work and calls at the pupils' homes get results. ie school physician and the school nurse held a diphtheria clinic r first -graders and pre-school children, beginning October 25, id thereafter for two more consecutive weeks, to give the three oculations in preparation for the Schick Test. The clinic was 4d this year in the nurse's office at the Junior High School, and so at the John Berry School in West Mansfield. Readings from e tests were given on November 1, determining the child's sus- ptibility to diphtheria. If the inoculations of toxin -anti -toxin give not immunized the child, he submits to the process again. .fty-six children were given the Schick Test this year. The annual physical examination of all the pupils was con- icted in the Fall by the school nurse and school physician, and eir detailed reports follow. In an effort to reduce the number 122 of athletic injuries to pupils in the High School and the Ju Nigh School participating in the major sports, the School C mittee approved ,a rigid physical examination, which was give each aspirant for a place on the teams. The examination of athletes was made early in September. A few, of the aspir were eliminated, as, in the belief of the school physician, t participation in the strenuous combat of the gridiron would j ardize their health. A code of training rules for all athletes laid down by the High School athletic board, and parents asked to sign pledges of cooperation, for the purpose of insu the carrying out of the training rules by the boys. These r were formulated for the two -fold purpose of keeping the athl in the best physical condition possible, so as to harden them sc what against injuries, and secondly to reduce medical fees hospital bills to be paid by the school athletic association. school physician was in attendance at almost all of the gar and took care of cases calling for first aid at the playing f The efforts which have been put forth to decrease athletic inju during the football season were justified by the results obtah not only was the season comparatively free from athletic injui but a deficit of around $375 which was incurred by such inju during the Fall of 1932, was greatly reduced. Equipment for the serving of hot lunches of soup, cocoa, E during the winter months, has been secured for the John BE School, a large proportion of whose pupils bring cold lunches f home. PSYCHIATRIC EXAMINATIONS Psychiatric examinations, for the proper placement in schools of very slow pupils, as required by Massachusetts statu have been conducted in Mansfield in, June, and again in Novi ber, 1933. The number of pupils taking the tests in June was while 17 other elementary pupils took the tests in Noveml making a total of 32 during the year. THE OPPORTUNITY CLASS The Opportunity Class was continued under the managem of Miss Augusta Hodges, and enrolled the maximum number pupils permitted by the Department of Education, namely' These pupils are given individual instruction in the regular seb studies, at a rate which each one of them can accomplish. Besi+ 123 academic"work, the afternoon sessiton of this class is devoted usively to manual arts projects, such as the weaving of bask - carving of book ends, chair caning, sewing and embroiderery the girls, and other hand crafts. The Massachusetts Course study for Special Classes is being followed in the Mansfield ortunity Class. The instructor is also taking an evening ,se: in special class teaching in Boston University. FINANCES The School Department appropriation has been cut from 11000. in 1931 to $102,000. in 1932, ,and further to $84,000. in The most careful efforts have been made to keep the ex - ;es within the appropriation. It wafs realized, however, before first five months of 1933 had gone by, that it would be im- ible to keep the schools operating, even with all of the re- chments which were being made, on $84,000. for the year 1933. largest single saving to the tax -payers in operating the ,ols has been made because the School Department employees, g.`with the employees in the other departments of the town's �rnment, .accepted, effective March 6, 1933, a 20010 reduction ieir salaries. The reduction made in the salary paid the Super- adent of Schools was 27.7 per cent from the salarry paid during Economies have also been effected in the rates paid for school as transportation, and for coal bought under contract to supply .e schools. The price paid for soft coal supplies to the schools wring 1932-1933, was $5.80 pergross ton, while under the new mtract for the school year 1933-1934, soft coal is being bought t $4.95 per gross ton. Approximately $350. will be saved the tax- ayers upon this item, by June 30, 1934. In ,addition to these retrenchments, savings have also been Lade through discontinuing the Supervisor of Music, at the close f school last June; through the non -employment sof ,a Supervisor f Art during 1933; and through the temporary closing of the Thiteville District School, which opened for the Fall term with n'enrollment of only five pupils. While economy has been the watchword in operating the hools, and while careful study has been ,given to economizing revery way possible that will not permanently injure the edu- ition of the boys, and girls of Mansfield, it was found impossible 124 to operate the schools on $84,000 during 1933, this being the si est amount appropriated for the maintenance of public scl since 1920. Consequently, at a special town meeting, which held on December 4, 1933, the voters approved a transfer $3,347 from the Town's Overlay and Reserve Fund. Careful study has been given to the budget of the School partment for 1934, and the ,appropriation which is asked for represents .a very conservative estimate sof the costs of opera No restoration, even in part, of the 20% cut in salaries is templated. Another classroom will probably have to be prow and ,also an additional teacher, on account of the steadily inc ing enrollment of the High School. Although the Town has received this year $16,147.91 in r bursements from the State on account of education, it shoul clearly understood that no part of these reimbursements is a able under the law for the support of the schools, nor indeec the running expenses of the Town. These reimbursements ar( ceived into the Excess and Deficiency Fund, which is require, law to be kept for emergency use only, and then only at the thorization of the State Director of Finance. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE The problem of maintaining and' keeping in good useable c dition a group of ten public buildings and their respective eqi ments, including heating plants, sanitary systems, electric E tems, furniture and appliances, is of itself an important phase the work .of our School Department. It is a work upon which Superintendent has spent many hours ,and much thought, with purpose in view of maintaining the ten school buildings and tl respective equipments in an efficient condition, at the lowest ,I Bible cost to the taxpayers. Some labor, both skilled and unskili has been supplied. from the Town Welfare list. Welfare labor CWA labor on repairs on school buildings has saved the taxpay many hundreds of dollars. A detailed plan of repairs was p pared at the close of the 1932-1933 school year, and many of th were accomplished during the summer vacation period. Late in November, the Civil Works Administration appro a request of the School Department for $1558.20 for the empl' ing of seven local men in a program of repairs to school buildi and equipment. This CWA ,program in the School Departm Besides the recommendations of the State Department of 1ducation for changes in the school buildings, repairs are con- tantly required in the buildings and equipment. These needs will be met insofar as there are funds and labor available for neeting them. Any home .owner has had experience on a smaller cale with the problems of building and equipment maintenance 7hich face the ,School Department. THRIFT The system of pupil savings accounts, begun in the Mansfield hools in the Fall of 1932, has been continued with good results. two -fold purpose has been kept in mind in the administration of e pupils' savings accounts. The major result is that of incul- ting thrift in the characters of growing children. It is believed at this habit, rightly formed in childhood, will stay with the ild throughout life, and is therefore ,as important to him as .one his studies would be. The second purpose in continuing the 1Z5 was started on December 4, 1933, and is to continue until Febru- yy ,��jj 11'al G ary 15, 1934. Besides numerous small jobs of repair work ac- iools'< 'was complished or planned in the various schools, several larger jobs �: are planned. These are, a new chimney at the Main Street o r „ School; a new floor in a basement room at the Junior High School; and a shower bath, and a locker room for storing athletic equip- went, at the same school. Several women have been employed De with CWA funds, on repairing school books. 1934, The State Department of Education has recently inspected the con-` ided, : three rural school buildings, and has recommended certain im- provements in the buildings. One of the changes recommended is a change in the lighting, so that the light will enter the room from the left, or from the left and rear sof the pupils. This would - require .an eight -foot partition to be built at the right hand side eim- ° of the classrooms, shutting off the light from those windows, and I be making an inside coatroom. The Department further recommends vail- the banking of the left windows, and enlarging of the window for area on the left side. Also, that the old-fashioned iron stoves re-, now in the two rural schools be jacketed, so as to deflect the heat 1 up into the air, rather than directly on some of the pupils; and au- that fresh air intake pipes be installed in the Hall and Whiteville Schools, and a Univent ventilating fan be provided for the Hart- well School, to improve the ventilation. Alia, that new foul air r „ registers be placed in the classrooms .of the three rural schools. The problem of maintaining and' keeping in good useable c dition a group of ten public buildings and their respective eqi ments, including heating plants, sanitary systems, electric E tems, furniture and appliances, is of itself an important phase the work .of our School Department. It is a work upon which Superintendent has spent many hours ,and much thought, with purpose in view of maintaining the ten school buildings and tl respective equipments in an efficient condition, at the lowest ,I Bible cost to the taxpayers. Some labor, both skilled and unskili has been supplied. from the Town Welfare list. Welfare labor CWA labor on repairs on school buildings has saved the taxpay many hundreds of dollars. A detailed plan of repairs was p pared at the close of the 1932-1933 school year, and many of th were accomplished during the summer vacation period. Late in November, the Civil Works Administration appro a request of the School Department for $1558.20 for the empl' ing of seven local men in a program of repairs to school buildi and equipment. This CWA ,program in the School Departm Besides the recommendations of the State Department of 1ducation for changes in the school buildings, repairs are con- tantly required in the buildings and equipment. These needs will be met insofar as there are funds and labor available for neeting them. Any home .owner has had experience on a smaller cale with the problems of building and equipment maintenance 7hich face the ,School Department. THRIFT The system of pupil savings accounts, begun in the Mansfield hools in the Fall of 1932, has been continued with good results. two -fold purpose has been kept in mind in the administration of e pupils' savings accounts. The major result is that of incul- ting thrift in the characters of growing children. It is believed at this habit, rightly formed in childhood, will stay with the ild throughout life, and is therefore ,as important to him as .one his studies would be. The second purpose in continuing the 126 pupils' savings system in our schools is that each depositor s, during the year small amounts of money which he otherwise w have spent, and which allow him, at the end of the year, a a sum to spend on his personal needs and desires. At the eno the school year in June, 1933, the pupils of Mansfield had on posit in pupils' savings accounts ,a, total of $2,618.58, which deposited as follows: in the Mansfield Credit Union, a tota $2,561.20, and in the First National Bank, Mansfield, a tota $57.38. As there was a total of 411 pupil depositors during 1` 1933, this represents an average net savings per pupil deposito $6.37. The ;above figures do not include the savings of many pt who were enrolled as school savers, but who had not saved the $ required before their accounts could be taken direct by the M, field Credit Union. Included at the end of this report will be found brief rep from the Principal of the High School, the Principal of the Ju High School, the Supervisor of Physical Education and Hen the School Physician, and the School Nurse. These reports sh be carefully read, as they contain much pertinent information In closing this report, I desire to express my appreciation the School Committee, and to the public of Mansfield, for the operation which has been given me since I took over the dutie?

Students whofail to maintain a passing grade of at least 70 the required subjects in either of the College or Comm( courses are considered as taking a general course. A College Certificate will not be granted unless a grade of or better is obtained throughout the last year of Junior High the three years of the Senior High. A survey recently ,made shows that in the present At body 26% are enrolled in the College Preparatory Course, 53% in the strictly Commercial Course, and 21% in a gel course 129 This distribution between the College and Commercial courses been substantially the same over a period of years. It has n further noticed that the depression of the last few years made little difference in the number going to college, but it of course greatly limited the possibilities of employment for se in Commercial courses. Of the class graduating last June, nearly 20% have entered her institutions, while the 80% have had varying success at ling jobs. It may be -of interest here to point out one other matter of -restthis survey showed. 'That is the type of study followed er graduation. At the present time graduates are attending following colleges:— Wheaton (3) ; Brown (2) ; Boston Uni- ,sity, (2); Harvard (1); Boston College (1); Notre Dame (1); rtm,outh (1) ; Holy Cross (1) ; University of Maine (1); Ford - n (1); .Springfield (1); Northeastern (2); Suffolk Law (1); anions (1) . Three of our students are at Teachers' Colleges Bridgewater, Framingham, and Castleton, Vermont. Thirteen .er students are attending colleges in specialized fields of study. These students have all gone to college from High School by tue of the Certificate privilege which is granted the School. Activity beyond the classroom has this past year followed the tal program, with the exception that the Speaking Contest was held. The Singleton Contest was also omitted this year by other high schools with whom we are associated in this con- t. I recommend, however, that this important feature be pro - ed for in the yearly appropriation. This particular activity public speaking has -always been important here and worth- ile.The school has won permanent possession of the three ,vious five year trophies because of the excellence of our speak - and at present is the custodian of the latest trophy offered Mr. Singleton of Franklin. On January 1, 1933, the Athletic Association was confronted is large financial deficit, caused largely by costly injuries in 1932 football season. Several conferences were held., and it s decided to curtail as little as possible our athletic schedules, t to stress the matter of health and physical condition. Dr. Prizio drew up a code for physical examination of athletic can- lates and prescribed regulations to be followed by the. athletes 130 themselves, with ;a view of lessening injuries. This was app] by the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Goodell, and. voted b3 School Board. Through the fine co-operation .of Dr. Sullivan School Physician, and Mrs. V.allett, the School. Nurse, .and constant effort of our coaches for boys, Mr. Carrie and Mr. C and for girls, Miss Delano, real progress has been made. teams were very successful, gate receipts came in, ,and ou juries were very few; so that, as the year closes, we are much improved financial condition. As a matter of record, the following summary is inch Boys' Basketball: played 18 games—won 15, lost 3. Winne Class A—Brockton Tournament. Coach W. Everett Green. Girls' Basketball: Played 6 games—won 3, lost 3. Coach E Delano. Baseball: Played 14 games—won 10, lost 4. Winner of Noi County Interscholastic Baseball League. Coach John A. Carn Football: Played 7 games—won 5, lost 2. Coach John A. Ca' I wish especially to call attention to the change that taken place in the last few_ years, the matter of increasing B School enrollment, and the resulting over -crowding. When we first entered the present High School building, enrollment in the three upper classes was 95. In 1925, fourt years later, it was 128. Those figures are interesting. An crease of only 33 students in 14 years shows how gradual; slow were the changes taking place then. Since 1925 note `' l rapidly the changes took place, by the following enrollment: 1925-128 students 1930-242 students 1926-137 1931-256 " 1927-162 " 1932=254 " 1928-185 " 1933-280 " 1929-220 " Between 1925 and 1931, the High School exactly doubled' enrollment, and in the last two years, since 1931, the incre, has been rearly as much as during the 14 years from 1911 1925. No ;accommodations have been made in the High Sch plant ' in the last ten years to meet this situation, and the enrc ment next September will probably exceed 300. I.n 1929, the y( the enrollment first passed the 200 mark, I confined my ent: report to the situation, which I then considered serious. I a 131 hasize it in this report. Iwish to take this opportunity to thank the School Board Superintendent of Schools for their co-operation during the year, ,and my appreciation to those teachers and supervisors have been associated with .me in the management of the or High School. Respectfully submitted, EVERETT W. ROBINSON, Principal REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF' THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL r. George S. Goodell, perintendent of _ Schools, insfield, Massachusetts. ear Sir: I herewith submit my first report as principal .of the Central mior High School. The Junior High School organization is a stifiable and effective educational agency, as the results from .1 over the country have proven the jutification sof this type of During the present and last school year, several aciademic changes took place, and they are improving the scholarship in the school. Supervised_ study is working out very effectively. The pupils are taught how to study and, as pupils are imitative, they depend ,on the teacher for what they acquire. Their impulses are guided correctly under the supervision of the teacher and cor- rect habits of study are being formed. The value of this method has been proved by the results obtained in the first year of the Senior High School New courses of study have been introduced, such as a much needed course in physiology .and hygiene, vocational guidance, character training, and a , course in geography for all pupils in grade eight. Science is now- is required subject in the college and scientific courses and mechanical drawing is required for the sci- entific group and elective in the college division. 132 Extra -curricula activities of a club nature are offered, the pupils develop initiative by assuming a certain amount of sponsibility in the various organizations, and thus a, wholes school spirit has been created. The clubs open to the stud are the Press, Dramatic, Orchestra, Girls' Glee, French, Ha craft, Manual Training, Public Speaking, Four H, and Si Clubs. The training received from these extra ,activities exemplified in the pupil participation in the Memorial Day Armistice Day exercises, when the School Orchestra, Pi Speaking, Dramatic, and Glee Clubs made a very impressive sentation. The exhibition of school work that was offered to the parE last spring was a huge success, both from the standpoint of parents and teachers, because it directly benefited the pupil. teachers look forward to presenting another exhibit during coming spring term. A new point system was put into effect to govern promot in all grades, particularly applicable to pupils going from gra nine to the High School. Records in grade nine are now recor in figures to correspond with the High School transfer rec card. A minimum of twenty points is required in the major s ject matter, namely, English, Mathematics, History, and fore language; a passing grade of seventy percent is necessary in subjects. The courses provide for the varied interests of the pub in grade nine. According to the course they take, the pupils further subdivided. The subdivision results in three groups: - 1. The College Group:—those who wish to study along fessional lines. 2. The Scientific Group :—similar to the college group, but stituting English History for Latin. 3. The Commercial Group:—those who wish to study a business lines. This group is the largest. These three groups are in every junior high school system, and suitable curriculum is drawn. to meet the needs of all three. selecting the course for pupils the parents have the sole rig and responsibility; the teacher or principal may act only as gui A definite set of promotion rules, governing grades sev( 133 and nine, that have been adopted, are: Failure in ,one major subject, promotion on condition. (If failure occurs in Latin or French, the pupil may change his course in High School). The condition ends with the first two marking periods. Failure in one major .and one minor subject, promotion on condition for the first two marking periods in High School as well as in grades seven and eight. .3. Failure in two major subjects, the pupil must repeat the year. 1.Pupils that may be tutored during the summer vacation must make up examinations in the respective subjects be- fore promotion. The athletic program in the Junior High School has created 7ery sane, yet keen interest in several branches of sport. Volley [l was played by the girls, and plans for tennis are drawn up -'-the spring. 'The boys have organized teams in football, basket - 11, and baseball. The past football schedule of seven games gated a very loyal school spirit. The boys were taught the Zdamentaals sof the game, so that much material will..b,e available future high school teams. The cooperation between the Junior and Senior High Schools been efficiently correlated so that a definite, continuous pro- p, of studies and a consistent marking system has been estab- Z The opinion expressed by members of the Senior High nol faculty that last year's class was well prepared, speaks mes for the efforts of the faculty of the Junior High School. The interest on the part of the pupils and parents has re- Llted in a very fine cooperative spirit. The feeling of confidence, terest, and cooperation shown by the parents, business men, and embers of the School Committee, has been very gratifying~ The spirit of supervision that you have manifested has been tly appreciated by the student body and the faculty of the A With such interest, confidence, and ,enthusiasm, the future are of the school should be assured, and its continuance should 134 result in establishing a higher educational unit in the sc system. Respectfully submitted, JAMES J. KELLY, REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF PHYSICAL EDUCAZ Mansfield, 3 December 22,;`. Mr. George S. Goodell, Superintendent of Schools, Mansfield, Massachusetts. Dear Sir: I hereby submit my first report as Physical Education S -u visor in the schools of Mansfield. In accordance with the modern trend, which is a change f Calisthenics to Free Play, the Physical Education in the gr. is progressing rapidly. Each school is visited weekly with exception of the rural schools which are visited every other w Each day the work is carried on by the individual room teat Free Play as carried out in our schools tends to create spc manship, honesty and quick thinking among the younger pu In the Junior High School we have Calisthenics, Basket and Volley Ball. Volley Ball being substituted for Field Hoc due to the lack of playground accommodations. Calisthenics is carried out every week; Volley Bull spring a fall and Basket Ball during the winter months. Every girl given an opportunity to compete in Volley Ball. Intra -mu Basket Ball is played and there are at least ten different tear, Each team has its own individual name and captain and a tourr ment is held at the close of the season, the winning team receiv. numerals. Due to the fact that a room in the Junior High School h now been .made available for gymnastic sand ;physical education pi 135 ia, tentative program is being planned, so that pupils with y posture may receive instruction in correct gymnastics. [n correlation with the Physical Education program I am teaching Physiology and Hygiene to 'both ,girls and boys in seventh and eighth grades. In this course they receive in tion in community and body health, touching lightly on Per - Hygiene. .n the HighSchool we have Calisthenics, Basket Ball, Field ey and Base Ball. Calisthenics and Free Play is given once ek only to the Sophomore Class. Basket Ball is the major sport and every girl is given the rortunity to compete. In past years we have had class teams from these teams our varsity team was selected, which played ms from surrounding towns. Playing a schedule of six games had a successful season last year. This year due to lack of finances we are .only playing intra- ral Basket Ball. Each class being represented by a first and )nd team. After the teams are selected a tournament will be yed, the winning team receiving the regular varsity "M". The nerup will receive a small "M" in a circle, land the third team receive numerals. In the fall the girls play Field Hockey and in the spring Base [. This sport is entirely an interclass project. The program of Physical Education holds an important place ;he school curricula, due to the fact that the pupils learn the damentals of good posture. The aim of this program is to &lop grace ,and speed to the body—these results are accomp- ed through instruction in Calesthenics, Free Play and Sp,oTts. I take this opportunity to thank the Superintendent, principals d, teachers for their co-operation in making this work so suc- Respectfully, ELOISE DELANO, Supervisor of Physical Education. 138 graders entering school last September, 92 registered at schools. 75 children were given examinations by the family p sician, and 27 were examined at a special conference, under supervision of the school physician. At this time it was fo- that there were 45 cases of defective tonsils, and 60 teeth defe These defects were followed up, and during the Summer mon- 38 tonsil cases were corrected, through the cooperation of the s geons of our town. The Chadwick Clinic, conducted by the Massachusetts is partment of Public Health, in cooperation with the Board Health and School Department, was one .of our greatest hea projects of the year. This showed that of 1393 pupils in schools, 791 had availed themselves of the clinic, and that of :; t total, 183 had been found to react to tuberculosis tests, 195 pul have been X-rayed, and 42 were given ,a careful physical exa ination. Of this number, 8 were found as being affected by hyl tuberculosis. 'These cases are not communicable, and do not h to be excluded from school except when necessary for treatme In ,addition to these, there were 15 suspects. These are pupils u showed symptoms of early infection, and are to be kept un( supervision and given extra care with periodic examinations. The parents of the children who were given the examinati were ,invited to be present, and the X-rays wiere explained to the and advice .given as to diet ,and care. Charts have been . kept our schools of these pupils where follow-up work is carried and such items as weight, diet, habits, and drays absent during t year on account of illness, are recorded. In March, 1934, t State Department physicians will return for re-examinations certain pupils. In every case where it was considered necessa the parents were notified to confer with the doctor and nut tioni st. The tri -yearly weighing ;and measuring in our schools hel to hold the standard of health education. It is the object of ,t School Health Department to keep our children in as nearly PE feet health as possible, by recommending preventative means'' combating disease, .and advising methods .of building up a strol body.
