Annual Report of the Town Manager
in accordance with Sect. 20 (e) of the Town Charter
In making this report, I have completed my first year as your
municipal manager. I will endeavor to make this report brief and
concise, covering only changes and construction of major import-
ance.
Before passing to the departmental reports, a few lines will
be written concerning the Manager's Office. It has been my endeav-
or to be accessible to everybody at all times, because, though de-
tails must be referred to the various departments often, the citi-
zens feel they must see the Manager personally. I do hope, how-
ever, that when I am out of my office on inspections or other duties,
citizens will refer matters of ordinary routine to department heads,
whenever possible, to insure their prompt consideration.
The constant advice and valued counsel of the Selectmen, is
herewith gratefully acknowledged, as is the co-operation of de-
partment heads outside of the Manager's province. To my loyal
chiefs, superintendents and co-workers, I record my, appreciation
for their continual loyalty, interest and unfailing courtesy. It is
only by sustained co-operation that so much has been accomplished
during the year, with the funds at hand.'
I want the members of the Board to feel at liberty to express
their frank opinions on matters of general policy, as such power
is vested in them by the citizens. It is the development of these
policies that forms the program of your manager.
TOWN TREASURER AND COLLECTOR
This work is continuing under the jurisdiction of Mrs. Ethel
M. Murray.
During the, year, money rates have been very high and care
was used in borrowing, thereby saving the tay payer's several
hundred dollars.
The financial report of this department will be found in an-
other section of the Town Report.
ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
During the past year, there has been established an Engineer-
ing ,'Department. The department consists of one full time and
one part time employee.
The essential purpose of the department was' to draft a
complete set of plans for the Water Department showing the lo-
cation and size of every water main, gate, and hydrant. Up to
this time theme have been no plans which could be used for this
purpose, the only record being a very incomplete set of cards
showing gate locations. All other information was simply a
matter of memory, dependable solely upon the memory of the
present foreman of the department. Should an emergency arise
while he was out of town, we were without accurate locations for
guidance in making repairs. As this report is ,written, the plans
are nearly completed. A fireproof filing cabinet has been purchased
to care for all plans.
The primary purpose of establishing the Engineering Depart-
ment has already been stated. As the year has progressed, many
and varied have been the duties handled by the new department
Some of the duties performed during the past year follow:
Plans for proposed water & street extensions.
Board of Survey plans.
Plans & deeds for all transfers.
Replace two town line boundary stones.
Staked out ball park at Card Field.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
This department is continuing under the direction of Newell
B. Vickery as Chief of Police.
During the year, the police purchsed summer uniforms that
created a very favorable impression. These were obtained without
cost to the Town.
A new police car was purchased and a permanent motor -cycle
patrol was maintained.
I feel that the department as a whole, is maintained at a very
high standard.
The Chief's detailed report will appear in another section of
this report.
To avoid duplication of the reports, I will not touch in detail,
the following departments: Health, Sealer of .Weights and Meas-
ures, Inspection of Buildings, Inspection of Wires and Fire Alarm
System, but I can assure you that positions were all efficiently
handled, and reports will be placed in the Town Report.
General matters that should be studied by the Selectmen as
matters of policy in the coming year are:
1. Elimination of dead end water mains;
(1) From Walnut St. to West St., a distance of approximately
1200'.
(2) From Church St. to Park St., thus giving us an additional
circuit, to protect the lower end of the town.
2. Replace present four inch water main on Dean Street with au
least an eight inch main, thus giving greater protection to our
Roland Green School.
3. To bring about a general change of our electric service from
two phase to three phase. This means a large expenditure, but
will give us a modern system.
4. New seats should be purchased for theauditorium of the Town
Hall. The present settees are in very poor condition.
5. The exterior of the Town Hall needs" a second coat of paint.
6. The entrances and stairways of the Town Hall need to be deco-
rated in the same manner as the auditorium.
7. The moth department is badly in need of a new and more
powerful spraying machine.
8. Additional equipment is needed, for the Highway Department
in the way of a new truck and gasoline road roller. This will
allow us to build roads with less cost, .as it increases our general
efficiency.
9. A general continuation of our building program of gravel
roads to tar roads, which will dventually eliminate all gravel roads.
10. To eliminate in the `. future all tar sidewalk construction, and
push our cement program: as fast as possible.
11. To increase the funds for the, cutting and removing of brush,
as the demands on this department are rapidly increasing.
12. A fire alarm box should be purchased and installed at the
Town Infirmary for greater protection of inmates. This means
funds will be needed to extend the system to our institution.
13. A continuation of the policy of planting a town forest on
land of low value now owned by the town.
INFIRMARY
This department continues under the jurisdiction of Mr. and
Mrs. Scott.
Increase in average number of inmates from three to twelve.
Produced a considerable quantity of vegetables for use in
the 'home.
Larger quantities of milk used in home, owing to the increase
of the number of inmates.
Spreader bought to move dressing from piggery and barn on
to land evenly and quickly, thus improving farm land.
Larger inventory of stock on hand at piggery.
Estimate average cost per inmate reduced nearly 60%, by
using the home for Welfare cases instead of granting cash aid.

ANNUAL REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
January 23, 1930
To the Board of Selectmen
of the Town of Mansfield:
Gentlemen:
As attorney for the Town of Mansfield during the year last
passed, a multitude of matters came to my attention for advice
and action. Most of the matters were not of sufficient importance
to embody in a report except to say that there have been no judg-
ments rendered against the Town, and most matters have . been
amicably - adjusted.
In legal matters, as is sometimes the case and as I believe in
this instance, "no news is good news."
Yours very truly,
CLARENCE A. BARNES,
Town Counsel.

of the library has gone on as in other years. The librarians, as
the past, have tried to meet the needs and wishes of the borrowe

but ` they could not foresee the needs of 1930. For
few; years ago the trustees were called upon to make
1901 plans a Children's Room. That room has proved
that it is now over -crowded. Valuable floor space has
taken for book -cases to hold the books that the children

short for ten or twelve children. It is true that Mans -

have been arranged. Just inside the door is a small lobby

to utilize the space under the new wing for an historical
Many library buildings have such a room and find it a
;set. One of our neighboring towns which has recently
addition to their library now regrets that they did not
ate an historical room in their building. This room is to
ire proof and water proof. Steps from the door lead down
;ibule 16x24, feet in size. From there a wide opening with
)s makes a descent into an exhibition room 35x42 feet.
i at present has no safe place for storing historical papers,
and articles of historic interest. Consequently such things
100
are being sold, given away, and even destroyed. Such a collection
started now will be of inestimable value in years to come. The
plans also include a new heating system with an oil burner.
The estimate obtained by the architect calls for slightly under
$50,000. To give a little leeway and possibly allow a little for
furnishings, the committee recommend an appropriation of $50,000;
to be voted outright or to be bonded over a period of ten years.

own Manager,
Mansfield, Mass.
lir:
>ubmit herewith the following report for the year 1929.
-ing .the past year over 500 complaints have been investi-
nd 90 arrests have been made, a decrease of 46 arrests or
4% less than the 1928 total. Thirty-seven summons were
,or other Police Departments, practically all of which were
or vehicle violations. The total receipts from fines amount -
1,455.00, $705.00 of which has been returned to the Town,
aining $750.00, received for violations of the, Motor Vehicle
Tas paid over to the State.
marked decrease in arrests for drunkenness as compared .
ie previous year is very encouraging. During 1928, 53
were made for this offense, while only 22 persons were ar-.
Cor drunkenness in the past year. Extensive use of the
)n System is largely responsible for this condition, and the
fines is more than justified in the results obtained from
shod of control.
;h three exceptions, all cases have been disposed of in the
Court. ' One of these cases was decided in the last session
Superior Court, and the other two will be settled in the
-y session.
nightpatrolmen have found 34 doors unlocked in the
places of business on Main Street. In every case either
ger was notified or the door made fast so that the building
it be entered by an unauthorized person.
Gash sedan was purchased in May and has been in daily
:e that time. This is the first automobile to be owned by
.ce Department and is a valuable, asset to the Town.
102
The appointment of a permanent day patrolman in June ha:
proven the need of an officer on the street during the day, al
which time the traffic is heaviest and minor violations are mosi
frequent.'The presence of this officer is probably to a great extent
responsible for the decrease in arrests for the year, as other town:
have found the addition of patrolmen to have the effect of curbing
violations of the laws.
Traffic lights have been installed at the corner of East an('
West Streets and have been in operation since October 12th. These
lights have solved the problem of this very dangerous corner, an(
have a tendency to discourage fast driving on Main Street.
In the investigation of motor vehicle accidents, we have re
ceived valuable assistance from the Registry of Motor Vehicle:
through Inspector Lawrence J. Colrick, who is in charge of this
district. He has helped the Town in the prosecution of the mor(
serious and difficult cases, and has at all times been ready arft
willing to give immediate attention to any question which lea:
arisen in this very important branch of our work. We have ha(
one fatal automobile accident which spoils our record of five years
standing, but in comparison with other communities Mansfield ha;
been fortunate in having had very few accidents with serious re
sults.
Failure of the Town to adopt By-laws has been a serious
handicap to the Police in the enforcement of minor laws, as wel
as the protection of licenses given by the Town. The few By-lawi
in effect at the present time were adopted two years ago, and in ni
way do they apply to present conditions. This situation is Parti
cularly noticeable in regard to pedlers, junk dealers, house to -house
canvassers and many others where the State laws specify an act b,
the Town necessary for local enforcement.
In Juvenile problems, Miss Olive MacKinnon, local agent fo.
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, has given ;
great deal of her time to Mansfield, which is a small part of he
district; and a great deal of credit is due her for the satisfactor;
adjustment of many difficult cases, most of which have been settlei
without Court action.
The Department as a whole is in excellent condition in bot]
personnel and equipment. Summer uniforms were purchased wit]
the proceeds of the Police Ball in! April which greatly added to th
appearance as well as the comfort of the Officers during the wary;
103
The Department has never been better able to render
the public than at the present time.
h to express my appreciation at this time to the members
partment for their loyal services during the past year,
ou and the Board of Selectmen, my sincere thanks for
Brous co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
NEWELL B. VICKERY,
Chief of Police.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee,
Mansfield, Massachusetts.
Madam and Gentlemen:
This, my third report, is respectfully submitted for your con-
sideration. Owing to the fact that the space alloted to this year's
report is limited, the discussion will be confined to a few major
facts concerning the schools that should be brought' to the atten-
tion of the town's people.
Purpose of the Schools.
The State and the National Governments are continually striv-
ing to imbue the citizens who "support and control the schools with
the idea that better and more scientific' services must be given.
Each year the nation's demand for better educated citizens becomes
greater. The business of conducting municipal, state and national
affairs demands more and more a scientific knowledge of the
governing economic principles by which our public institutions may
be successfully operated. As a result a heavier burden is being
laid upon those people who administer educational' programs. In
view of these factors, it behooves us to 'provide the best possible
conditions and opportunities for our pupils to prepare themselves
to meet the demands that will be made of them when they leave
our public schools. Hence we must provide adequate equipment
and supplies, sufficient textbooks, properly constructed buildings,
different courses of study, and modern methods of instruction. As
an insurance of the future welfare and prosperity of the country,
we must make every effort to see that our schools are morally and
financially supported.
133
With the approach of the annual town meeting when the ques-
tion of appropriations is to be considered, the citizens should make
no attempt to retrench through a reduction of the amount of money
needed to conduct our schools efficiently. The buildings must be
kept in good condition, supplies and books needed must be provided,
and good teachers must be retained.
The big dividends returned for large investments in education
cannot be measured by money values. Education is an investment
extending over a long period of years. Its purpose is to preserve
the best principles of a democracy through the proper guidance of
the youths' thinking. Even a temporary hindrance of this purpose,
through lack of financial support, may seriously impair the efficien-
cy
fi'iciency of our citizens. In view of the present tendency to reduce
budgets, it is imperative that the people consider the low cost of
Mansfield's schools as compared with other municipalities of ap-
proximately the same population.
Philosophy of Modern Education.
In the early history of our schools those pupils who could not
fit into the plan of a classical education were soon eliminated. They
found employment in industries in the form of apprenticeships.
No effort was made to fit school programs to the child. He was
expected to fit into the system or get out. It is not so today. A
progressive educational system Snakes every effort to adapt the
educational program to the individual interests, needs, abilities
and capacities of the pupils. This philosophy of education has
led to a readjustment of the whole school program with emphasis
laid, not so much upon the college preparatory subjects, as upon
vocational training. This change in viewpoint has necessarily
thrown a large burden upon the public school system and has
seemingly increased the school cost. But when the cost is figured
in the true value of the present day dollar, when the increased
enrollment in secondary education is appreciated, and when the
increased number of courses offered are considered, the cost of
education is scarcely any more than it was fifteen years ago.
Coaching Classes.
At the Central Junior High School, beginning November 1928,
the Principal, Mr. Durost, organized what is called coaching; classes
for those pupils who were finding difficulty in keeping their work
up to standard. A. study of the results of this individual instruction
is worthy of note. During the first two months of 1928 before
this special work was begun, there were in all classes' 208 subject
failures.. During the corresponding months of 1929, with coaching,
the subject failures have been only 91,'a reduction of I'll this year
over 1928. A study of results `for the' months of `November and
December of 1929 shows that the subject' failures have been reduced
to 65.
As a result of these coaching classes at the :Central School,
the School Committee voted to place in the Roland Green' School
an extra teacher who should give' one half her time to coaching
backward pupils. The other half 'is devoted to assisting''the prin-
cipal in her teaching that she may have time to attend to the ad-
ministrative work of her building.
The reports from the results of this work are very gratifying.
Those normal pupils who were groping along in ` their 'subjects,
unable to keep up to standard, have been helped over their diffi-
culties and are able to make good progress with the other members
of their classes.
For every pupil saved from being a repeater in his grade,
there is a saving in the expense of instruction of $59.93. The usual
estimate of failures is ten per cent of the' enrollment. In the
Roland Green School there were 340 pupils enrolled on October
first. If ten per cent, or 34 pupils are failing in June there will be
an additional expense of $2037.62 figured on the basis of 1928-29'
per capita cost.
The salary of the part time coaching teacher is $500.00. If
she can help reduce the failures to three per cent, which is a high
estimate, there will be a saving of more than $1000.00 over and
above her salary, or the salary of an additional teacher.
Buildings.
The school system has four brick buildings that are in very
good condition; and six wooden buildings, four of which are in
fair condition; and two, the Main Street and Central Junior High
Schools, in poor condition. ' Nei

dingy, and very poorly ventilated. The floors in three rooms are
in'very poor condition, and the walls are badly` in need of paint.
The seats are poorly adapted to the comfort of the children.
Physical Condition of Central School.
This building is one of the most antiquated structures in the
State. It possesses the old smead toilet system that has long since
been condemned by the 'State Board of Building Inspectors as
dangerous and unsanitary.' For a whole term all toilet wastes are
collected in a long ` metal trough. At the end of each term this
waste is burned in these metal troughs. Because of this toilet
system the State has not certified the building since 1924 as a
suitable place in which a school should be conducted.
The heating system in this building is cumbersome and ex-
pensive. To heat ten rooms and two corridors it requires eight
hot air furnaces and one steam boiler. The burden of maintaining
these nine 'fires and of cleaning and sweeping the .building is the
responsibility of one janitor whose efficiency is an asset to the
school system.
With this heating plant it is hardly necessary for me to ex-
plain why it requires 150 tons of coal per year for this building
alone—enough coal to heat a modern school twice its size contain-
ing an assembly hall, gymnasium, and school library besides the
regular class rooms. Neither is it necessary for me to emphasize
the fact that a building with nine furnaces scattered throughout
the basement, running at full blast, is a greater fire hazard than
a modern up-to-date building with a heating system consisting of
two steam boilers situated in a fire proof basement room.
This bpilding, outside of its heating plant, is in need of many
repairs which_ will cost the town of Mansfield a large sum of money
before they are completed. At the present time the building is
badly in need of paint both in and out side, of new floors in many
of the classrooms and; corridors, of new stair treads on four stair-
ways, of a new section in the; girls' toilet, and of rebuilding one of
the brick. heaters connected with the toilets. If this building must
be occupied. for a number of, years. longer, the old. desks which have,
become a source of annoyance to class recitations should be replaced,
with new ones. In two or three years at the most it will be
necessary to renew that part of the roof that is now covered with
metal. -All of, the above mentioned repairs must be made in addi-

High Schools. Up to the present time we have not spent as much
money as we should on text books and supplies. In 1919 the town
spent $4611.46 for" 915 pupils. In 1928 we spent $6475.98 for 1416'
pupils. While the increase in the" amount spent for books and
supplies in 1928 over 1913 was 40%, the increase m pupils in 1928
over 1919 was 54%. In other words our expenses for books and
supplies are 14% less than what should be expended to supply our
schools as well in 1928 as in 1919. In figuring this percentage
the depreciation of the dollar since 1919 has not been taken into
consideration. In comparison with former years the $7000.00 for
which we have asked in this year's budget is very conservative.

Classification of Students.
In the Junior High School we have been able to divide each
class into three divisions; A, B,_ and C, and rate the divisions
according to ability. Through this class arrangement teachers
have been better able to adapt the work to the mental capacities
of her pupils, thereby accomplish better and more efficient results.
For the first time in the history of the Senior High School, we
have been able to divide our pupils into classical and commercial
groups and thereby differentiate the type of English or Mathematics
to be taught. This arrangement has met with more success than
it wasanticipated. Heretofore, no course of study in English
other than the College division has been offered the Commercial
students. The teachers are working on a course of study for com-
mercial students. They hope to have it completed in another year.
• Teachers' Meetings.
During the year the teachers of the elementary schools have
met frequently with the Superintendent for a discussion of methods
that should be used in teaching reading and the fundamentals in
arithmetic. At the present time we are stressing methods of
securing better reading habits in the lower grades where the
foundation is laid for good reading in later life. Stress is being
laid on greater speed with a higher coefficient of comprehension.
In the upper grades more time is being given to silent reading
than to oral with the emphasis placed on getting the thought from
the printed page. A test that was recently conducted in some of
our upper classes showed that while our pupils were fluent oral
readers, they were unable to comprehend 'thel thought contained in
the passage read. It is this difficulty that has led to more stress
being laid on silent' reading exercises.
Transportation.
Last July the transportation of school children was awarded
to the Foxboro -Mansfield Bus Company for the East Mansfield and
Main Street routes, to Mr. Percy Benjamin for the Whiteville dis-
trict, and to Mr. Clarence Lovely for the West Mansfield district.

During the past year several so-called mental tests have been
given throughout the Junior and Senior High Schools. Standard
tests have also been given to the pupils in the grades to determine
the efficiency of the classroom instruction in the fundamentals. :In
many cases the median has been much higher in the Mansfield
schools than that of the several thousand. 'children given tests

REPORT OF THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Mr. Leroy L. Woods,
Superintendent of Schools,
Mansfield, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
I have the honor of submitting my third report as Principal
of the Central Junior High School.
The enrollment of the Central Junior High at the close of the
school ;year 1928-29, exclusive of the fourth grade and opportunity
class housed in this building, was 306. The enrollment at present
(December 20, 1929) is 333. The increase is due to the 'fact that
the classical division, which hitherto has been housed at the Senior
High School. building, remained at this building this year. This
action completed the division of our school system into the, 6-3-3
plan.
Several fine results have followedthis division. First, it made
possible a closer correlation of the language work done in the
eighth and ninth grades. Secondly, it eliminated whatever cause
of dissatisfaction there may have been felt in the past by both
parents and pupils when a part of the ninth grade were given the
laboratory and gymnasium privileges of the Senior High. That
attitude has, in the past, caused some pupils, who were not fitted
.for advanced. academic work, to seek participation in the classical
courses.
During the year we have completed the practice of classifying
the pupils according to their progress ability. This ;procedure has
settled a most imperative need of 'efficient pupil placement and has
giver gratifying results.
Let us consider for example, the class entering the Junior High
this Fall, which is a typical entering class, although they are all
enrolled as members of the seventh' grade there is a mental range
of eight years. If these were arranged on a graduated "scale it is
obvious that the upper third 'should cover a given amount of work
in a shorter time than those of the middle or lower thirds.. To
provide for these differences we have divided the group into three
classes, giving due credit to special abilities, as shown_ by the pupils'
achievements in the past as `reflected in the ranks received from
former teachers. - Such a plan would be of little value if each div-
ision were given only the same amount of work to accomplish
during the ,year. This problem was solved by arranging the work
so that everyone is required to master the minimum essentials for
graduation. Group instruction and drill on these essentials are
continued until everyone has mastered them. Then for those who
are able to accomplish more, extra work with extra credits are
provided. As a result an increasing expression of a desire to do
more than the mere requirements is gradually developing among
all the pupils.
During the year a pageant and operetta was produced in the
Town Hall, the proceeds of which made possible the securing of a
piano for use in our Music Club work. The school is sincerely
appreciative, of the aid and patronage of the public, which has
made possible the encouraging success of these annual programs.
A general survey of the achievements of the school for the
past year reveals an earnest endeavor to realize Thomas Huxley's
conception of an education, "An education should train the mind
and the will to do the work which must be done, when it must be
done in the way it must be done, whether one likes it or not." To
develop attitudes and habits of study rather than the multiplica-
tion of experiences in" manual arts or fact retention, must be the
purpose of a school so limited in its physical equipment.
As a Junior High School we should be offering vocational and
educational guidance in the form of diversified shop .instruction.
In fact we offer only woodwork and that only in a shop; innocent
of any of the most common mechanical appliances as lathes, planes,
etc. Our girls, many of whom leave school before reaching the
Senior High School, should be receiving; some instruction' in Dom-
estic Science, Home Economics, and Manual Arts. For this im-
portant work we have neither room nor equipment. The same
might be said of music, dramatics, and group. -civics instruction.
In conclusion permit me to offer my personal thanks for your
unfailing support. and interest in all the interests of our school.
Respectfully submitted,
MORLEY J. DUROST
Principal.

REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Mr.- Leroy L. Woods,
Superintendent of Schools,
Mansfield, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
My report for the year 1927 dealt mainly with the general
program of the High School. It contained an outlineof the courses
of study and the related extra -curricular activities, and 'discussed
some of the problems connected therewith. The report covering
1928 gave in detail the exercises connected with the Fiftieth Anni-
versary observance commemorating the graduation of the first
class, the class of 1878, that the programs might be a matter of
record for future readers.
The report for this year, 1929, will deal only with the equip-
ment and physical condition of the school plant.
In the matter of equipment we are well taken care of in so far
as the ordinary routine of the school is concerned. Ample provi-
sion has always been made for text books and 'daily supplies. The
textbooks especially have been, kept well up to date, and in 'sufficient
quantities. Where the lack comes is in the extra needs which are
absolutely necessary to keep a, school modern in the best sense.
For instance, the science laboratory of today requires 'far more
than it did twenty, even ten years ago. A nominal allowance is
no longer sufficient in this age'` of applied science, and this is
especially true in thq realm of electricity.' Our laboratory with its
equipment would have been considered excellent,,a few years ago,
but for today it has little of the modern in it.
More serious than this, however, is the total lack of library
facilities within they school. So essential is this considered, that in
every new High School plant a large reading room is provided,
fully equipped with reference material, and always in charge of
one capable of guiding young people in the selection and proper
use of extra reading material. Such opportunity should be made
available to students while actually in school, especially for those
who live at a distance, or who are employed outside of school hours.
What reference books there are here are mainly the private prop-,
erty of the teachers, and there is not a 'magazine of any kind in
the school. This need constitutes a very real handicap for those
1
is
143 i`
who go out into higher institutions of learning, and find themselves
in competition with those students who have had this training,
and who are familiar with the methods and procedure in a refer-
enceh'library.
It goes without saying that the correction of these problems
will always be limited as long as we remain in the present build-
ing. These needs and others have all developed since the High
School was constructed. It may be of interest to enumerate at
this point some High School activities which have developed since
the building was planned:
In 1911 the only High School athletic sport was baseball.
There was no Domestic Science course.
Compulsory gymnasium classes were almost unheard of.
A special room for library purposes was rarely found in school
houses.
The recent applications of science were undreamed of.
The practical arts were in the beginning, and developed here
and there.
Obviously the High School building of twenty years ago can be
adapted to modern requirements only with great difficulty. Consider
with this'the fact that the enrollment of students has increased
almost 400% during the same period and some idea of the situation
can be realized.
.The present High School building is used a great deal. Not
only is it taxed to its capacity by the added High School activities,
but there is hardly an evening during the school year when it is
not used by some outside organization. This is splendid; , there
should be activity, and there should be in Mansfield some place'
where it can go. But it only emphasizes the need for adequate
accommodations. We can still go along as we are going perhaps
for a while, but the time is not far distant when we must move
forward by enlarging the educational opportunities of our,,"oung
people, that the best in the mental and physical possibilities iay
be encouraged and developed in Mansfield. We should endavp to
met the requirements of this generation in its day, as faithfutty,,as
an earlier generation met ` our needs in our day. �s Ili

The total enrollment in the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth '
grades for 1929 is 309 pupils, or 14 more than 1928.
In the Senior High School there is an increase in the enroll-
ment over last year, even though the classical division has been
housed in the Junior High Schoolbuilding. The total enrollment
for this building last year plus 35 Freshmen in the classical divi-
sion was 218 pupils. This, year without the Freshman classical
division the enrollment is 220.
While our total school enrollment for this year is less by 50
148
pupils than in 1928, our upper classes in both the Junior and Senior
High Schools have increased.

A study of the table from the State Report shows ;that the
average per capita cost of all schools in Group II is $89.61. Mans-
field's average is $78.76, placing her in the :fifteenth place among
twenty towns of approximately the same. population. While the
per capita cost of the Mansfield High. School `is $5.93 above. the
per capita cost average for the group, the per capita cost of her.
Junior High School and Elementary schools is, considerable lower
than the average.
In the elementary group consisting of Grades I to VI Mans-
field's per capita cost is $13.39 less than the average for group II,
and that of the Junior High School is $22.63 less than the average.
In estimating the cost of the different elementary schools in
Mansfield, I have found that our rural schools' cost averages ap-
proximately $95.00 per pupil, while the cost of our largest elemen-
tary school, the Roland Green, is approximately $49.00 ;per pupil.
As the size of the school increases overhead expense decreases and
therefore reduces the per capita cost.

The increase in the estimated budget for 1930 is due to the
fact that the committee has voted the following increases:
Repairs $ 920.00
Books and Supplies {¢ 1000.00

$4075.00
Every year the repairs and the amounts spent for books and
supplies has exceeded the estimates in the budget.
Buildings must be kept repaired, and books and supplies must
.be furnished in .sufficient quantities to enable the pupils and teach-
ers to accomplish efficient work. The increase in the teachers'
salaries is due to the fact that many of our younger teachers are
remaining with us and are, therefore, receiving automatic increases
due them for each additional year's work. For a number of years
our janitors have done faithful work at low salaries. Some of them
have been promised raises in previous years, but never have re-
ceived them.
In closing my third report I wish to express my sincere appre-
ciation of the helpful support and cooperation of the School Com-
mittee. I wish also to express my 'appreciation of the faithful
work of the teachers, principals and supervisors who have coop-
erated in making this a very successful year. Lastly, let me ex-
press my thanks to the citizens of Mansfield for their friendliness
and hearty support. .
Respectfully submitted,
LEROY L. WOODS
Superintendent of Schools.
