THE MANSFIELD PRESS. 1920 39 REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHTING DEPARTMENT We submit hereby-to the citizens of Mansfield the annual report of the Municipal Light Depart- ment the same being a record of the operation for the year ending December 31, 1919. The report consists of a complete financial statement, some physeal date pertaining to the plant equipmEnt and in an appendix, transcripts from our funds or cash accounts. The financial statement which immediately follows consists of an Operating Account, the Profit and Loss Account and the Balance Sheet and is of the same form in which we are required to report to the Department of Pub- lic Utilities as of the same date. Owing to the steadily increasing demand on the department for service and material the store on Main street was enlarged and rearranged. A com- plete line of material and appliances is carried in stock for immediate delivery. The same being sold at a great saving to consumers and no expense to the Town. We conservatively estimate that $8,000 at least has been saved the consumers in this man- ner and we know that this class of service is univer- sally appreciated. A great increase in customersthisyear is �espe cially noticeable. Although very little new build- 1119 was done, many houses already built were wired and many equipped with the most modern devices. 40 New construction necessary to take on this new buss- ness was done. Commercial lines were extended on Franklin and Winter Streets. Eleven 60 C.' P., ,streetlights were added by order of the Selectmen. Despite the fact that material and labor have increased very rapidly during the year we have been - able to increase our Surplus $4,262.56 over the amount reported last year. No changes whatever have been made in the rates during - the past two years. The excess charges which we are .required to pay on electricity purchased is added in the same proportion to the power rates. Flans are now under consideration to build and equip a new substation for the handling of the dis- tribution circuits as well as the incoming high ten- sion lines. A part of the old generating station is to be used for this purpose, the remainder being, used at present for the storage of line material.. Within a short time we will have another high tension line connecting at Attleboro with the Providence plant, thus giving us three independent lines and two sources of service: It is very important to have ef- ficient switching equipment so that these various lines can be interchanged without distribution trouble.

For this all are grateful. The usual routin work and demands have been increased somewhe by the various new or revised statutes of the Stat Department. The amount of contagious disease he been most conspicuous by its absence. Under item Salaries paid is included $225 whit v,,as incurred during 1913 by the appointment.c Lwo temporary members in September of that yea: The Atlantic Chemical Co. ,snit was begun -lay Larch and pushed as fast as the legal machines could be made to operate. The Court ordered to a Master's hearing and about 22 days were , col sumed in said hearing. The Master's report we returned and published in the Mansfield Nev-is c December 5, 1919. Any further explanation vii be given gladly in Town meeting. The $3,000' al propriated for this case has been entirely used an a. little more, which amount has been paid out 'c the Board of Health appropriation. In conjunction with the School Committee, -�v :Nave employed a School Nurse since last Septenif" In reviewing the work which has been doyie by he: and the School Physician, we feel justified in ou action and propose to continue the work, takin over the entire expense. This particular work h rectived the hearty commendation of the Stat Department of Health. We ask for $3,500 for Board" of Health for th year 1920. Respectfully submitted Board of Health. 79 ZEA RT OF THE LIBRARY TRUSTEES. Zeport of the Trustees of the Public Library ie year ending Dec. 31, 1919. e Citizens of Mansfield,: Che Trustees of your. Library have tried to keep e standard of the past. The Library has been at the usual hours every day except Wednes- Sundays, and holidays, from 2 until 9. The magazines as in previous years have been d on the Reading Room table. 357 books have bought. More than half of these we were able [y from a private library at greatly reduced ,. )up circulation has been 28,411 volumes for gar. This is not quite equal to the circulation of and 1917. This decrease is due, no doubt, to ).ct that we have not added many new books � 1913-19. Our circulation, however, is. above Massachusetts towns of the size of Mansfield. _,aids have been issued to 310 new borrowers. ATe have not been able to report progress be - of lack of funds. For just ten years our ap iation has remained the same, $1,000. From -imount we have paid the salary of the libra- the salary of the assistant librarian, who is (in from 5 to_ 6 each library day, we have bought and supplies, and paid for magazine subscrip- printing, typewriting and binding. �t the annual meeting of the Trustees inMarch 3 voted to wise the salary of the Librarian to Chis coming year we desire to pay the Libra - >1,000, and the 'Assistant Librarian $104. n order to do this, ' and to buy the books and 80 magazines which should be added to meet the c mands of the patrons of the Library, as well as p the regular bills, which under the new town find cial arrangement include lighting, heating, and ja "itor service we ask for the appropriation of $2,0( Respectfully submitted, JENNIE F. COPELAND, Secretary. AUDITORS' REPORT February 13, 1920. In auditing the Town Treasurer's books,, i have not gone back of the audit by the State whi carried everything up to June 20th, 1919. We fou: proper authority for all expenditures. There, is_ a parently a small deficiency of -receipts and the boo are not properly balanced. The collector's books for 1917 and 1918 we 'a unable to prove and as the State auditors did n knowif they had them correct we did not think advisable to go further. The collector's books f 1919 are practically correct. We have not sent notices to taxpayers who taxes are due and unpaid as shown on the books az therefore lack this proof. There are two loans in the Sinking Funds Ni,hich the interest is long in arrears. IRA C. GRAY, HARRY B. SARGENT, WALTER I. SHERMAN, Auditors.' 81 LIBRARY FINANCIAL REPORT Until recently the Library has been run as a irate institution, having its own Treasurer, )ugh whom all bills were paid. _ The adoption the town early this year of a new system of Sing accounts, recommended by the state, re - ,ed us to transfer all our funds to the Town ,surer, who in future " will handle the payment ;11 town bills. We give below the principal expenditures by Trustees, but a full and detailed report will ound under the head of the Town Treasurer's. ,rt. arian's salary, $632.50 .

Itmost economy in operating the Library, only- -y nly-y few, books having been added. The limit has now been reached. We must ask Ln increased appropriation to meet expenses; if the standard is to be maintained, a large >er of new books should be added at once. We therefore recommend arr appropriation,,000.

A mild outbreak of Scarlet Fever con: menced in the Junior Nigh School the first week .c the September term. One pupil desquamating the tine of entrance. Every child in the buildin: wa:s 'e«amined each school day for the two week f ollo,vving the discovery of this case. AbsenteE were followed up by personal visits to the home b the School Physician and School Nurse, examinatio' elf the child made when no physician - had bee called in. This case was followed by eight more i the building. Examination of the children followe in each instance, as in the first case, keptthenumb( down to a total of 13 in the town. All school prof erty used by these pupils was burned and the dell vd a sled with soap and water. 0:nLe case of measles, three of ` whooping coug] and eight of chicken pox have been reported to tl Boars of Health. Five cases of tinea trycophytin ten impetigo and two scabies were sent home by tr Rchool lNurse and School Physician, and treatmei advised. Frequent examinations of the heads fQ pediculosis by the Nurse has kept the number doN to eighty cases, she ` often going to the home ar 3rnaking a thorough clean up, conquering some Iasi which have caused trouble for many years, Much attention has been directed to the clear i` 87 s of the face, hands and clothing and shows a: derful improvement over three years ago when. ts' School Physician The girls in Grades 7 and 8 have been taught ,oval hygiene, sanitation, and the care of babies, Miss Brown one afternoon a week fifty-two tak- the course, which was not compulsory, and di - rias given to forty. The benefits derived from e` lectures have been shown by the more cleanly earance in the school room. Physical examination of nearly 1100 children: made at the beginning of the year. Three hun- 1 parents were notified of minor defects, such as a,sed tonsils, decayed teeth and adenoids and autioned of more serious defects. Nearly seventy-five candidates for the athletic ,is, with girls and boys, were given a thorough tical examination before beginning their work certificates given to all except nine, viho were idered unfit. Particular attention has been given to the nu - an and general welfare of the child. In order now whether the child is growing properly he is ;hed and a record kept and compared from year gar. Not having scales belonging to the School, child is obliged to weigh himself, sometimes sing at his weight, sometimes weighed on de- ve scales which makes our records inaccurate of less value. It is hoped we may soon have at one set of scales for school use. The teeth of the children in the grades show d neglect' and a dental clinic, such as was insti- I several years ago, shows the benefits derived rat clinic in the pupils of the Nigh School. It is A that many diseases that affect the whole sys- 88 tem originate in decayed teeth and diseased tonsils. Nearly all rheumatism and valvular disease of the heart may be traced to one or the other. This I consider a record year, and has been pos- sible by the assistance of the School Nurse. The cases have been followed up and the real cause of absence ascertained`. This method and frequent examinations of the children has, I believe, kept the schools in a more healthful condition.

Departmental teaching and the exchange of teachers between the junior and senior high schools have welded the two schools into one unit and is increasing the attendance -and scholar ship. The program of studies at the junior high school will be revised gradually and certain im- r k 30 provements will be made. French should be begun in the eighth grade next year, and the work in English should include some of the subjects now taught in the senior high school. The work in the elementary schools is of vital importance and must receive our most careful at- tention. We should insist upon the best teaching in the primary grades. The elementary school course of study needs revision, and with the active co- operation of the teachers we are preparing. a; course which will soon be in definite form. It is a well known fact that the citizens of every town show a keen interest in the public activities of the high schools. Athletic games, theatricals, pub- lic speaking contests, military drill and many other forms of school directed activity are applauded while the regular class -room work goes on un- roticed. The real work of the high school is to develop on the part of the pupils power to think and to acquire knowledge that will be significant to themselves and useful in their pursuit of life's ideals and interests. Scholarship can be main-. ta.ined only by hard work on the part of pupils and teachers. The seeming drudgery of close 'applica- tion to school work becomes a pleasure when pupils begin to realize the benefits that follow 'accomplish Ynent of difult: tasks. -- We need social interests as allies in education, but the regular school curriculum must not be placed in the background, The colleges have determined in a large de- gree the content and extent of high school courses, and the major part' of the instruction' is directed toward preparation for college examinations. A very large part of the graduates of all 'high schools enter the industries upon'' leaving school, and it is 31 our duty to offer courses that meet the needs of the majority of the students. The commercial course has been a great help, and the domestic science course will prove to be of equal value. Courses in manual training and agriculture are needed in our school. The State will pay two thirds of the salary ,of an instructor in agriculture. TEACHERS In order to maintain an efficient school system the teaching force must be made up of men and women of liberal education, culture, and high ideals, -who are alive to life's activities and duties. They must understand children and be able to arouse in- terest and ambition. In addition to their ability to impart knowledge, foster initiative, and create a' desire on the part of each pupil to earn an honor- -able place in the world through service, teachers at the present time must be thoroughly American in their ideals and able to teach our children the mean- ing of democracy and the value of their franchise. Men and women who can measure up to this stand- .ard are in great demand in all vocations, and during the past four years a large number of the best teach- ers have left the schools to take up work that of, fered larger wages. The situation is becoming crit- ical, and immediate measures must_ be taken to pro- tect the schools. The action of your Committee in increasing the salaries of the teachers before any .request had been made for such an increase shows your attitude plainly and insures the active co- �operation of those in your employ. In accordance with the provisions of chapter 363, General Acts of 1919, creating a General School Fund, the sum of $5,655.00 was contributed 32 to our town treasury in 1919, and the _further sum of $8,400.00 will be received in 1920, provided the teaching force is maintained at its present standard of efficiency. The amount distributed to a town de- pends upon the preparation, experience, and sal - cries of the teachers employed. This new legis- lation makes it possible and profitable for towns to, pay teachers reasonable salaries. We have a town well located, and possessing many natural ad- -vantages. It is my hope that we may make; Mans- field ans-feld an attractive school town in which all teachers= kill take pride and determine to render their best service through a long period of years'. Frequent changes hinder the progress of schools and of``: teachers. SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS Under normal conditions the town would not doubt continue the program of school -house eon struction so well begun a few years ago when` three, modern buildings were completed. The events of the past 'four 'years have halted many of our under- takings, and we must begin' anew our efforts to bring about better conditions. The children of a. town are its greatest asset and money expended for their education is 'a wise investment. The most pressing need at this time is a suitable building in the Spaulding district. A part of the first grade has. been placed in" room formerly used as a store.. Thisi arrangement is temporary and cannot continue_ as is, shown by the following letter: • Dear Sir: Having received complaints in regard to the store on Main Street now used as a temporary class- room, I investigated the same on Dec. 26, 1919, and. in my opinion the place is entirely unsuited for the• purpose. 1. The . basement had at least 18 inches of Nvater in it on date of inspection, and it is useless to speak of� pumping same out as the dampness' still: remains. 2. The location of a toilet directly connected with a` class room cannot be tolerated. 3. The heating of room' with an ordinary par- lor stove near the door will not and can not heat: the room in a temperature below 'freezing, and also does not furnish any fresh air, as required by a regulation of this department, to; equalize the tem- perature of the room. 4.' No ventilation is provided at all, while the, State requires the removal of 30 cubic feet of vitiat- ed air per minute per pupil. 34 5. The possible opening . the store door on they might the backs of pupils after rece--;s wlien` ley possibly be heated from play -i"', .certainly dangerous to their health. this I hope l have stated ens, reasonu Iv her ,store cannot be approved ani', st that souse of more suitable location can r: w foand where the. health of the pupils will not b:,1 dange-red. Resp ectfu.` L Cairns, State ung inspector. We can provide for :hildren and.: those constructing a that will enter school next .J_ by Spaulding schools two room addition to the 3 t, Spa g usii�� brick instead of wl _ the two room unit. By g will l-mocome a permanent stiz--t, :ire easily enlarged, should the growth of the s n sewedby the ,school warrant it. I trust ., .4, immediate action will be taken in this matter ld � ler that the rooms -Tmay be made ready for occupy-, _-y at an early date. The Dain Street buildin t .ow used `to accom-. modate the junior high schoc not well adapted tc the purpose, although as a :.eshift it has served in an emergency. It can be as a school building for years to come se? y g as 'a grade school ,or a manual training school. Anew and substantial i ,ii_ =or high school with suitable appointments, is need _, for the future 'de- velopment of our educational tin - .tem. The establishment of the . for high school has been a great advantage in mai r ways. The separa- tion of the seventh and eights ,rades from the ele- 35 _i Dentary schools has brought much better discipline brought Into -,on- -in all grades. The older pupils are b .. -t&,ct with pupils of their own age and attainments and there is greater concentration and application ir, all the subjects Pursued. A. new building would to enlarge the present high snake it unnecessary school for many years, as the freshman class of the ew -high school wquld naturally be placed in the r -building.

THE COURSE OF STUDY . The events of the past four years have given a: new significance to a number of subjects taught in. our schools`. A good command of English and ars accurate knowledge of History and Geography have become very necessary to the student who would . interpret intelligently the great happenings of the, present day. Old ideas of the world and its people have changed, and it is necessary that we all changE our methods of teaching children. Upon the teach- ing of the present depends the quality of .citizens of the future. The right instruction in the schools is the best safeguard against destructive radicalism.` We must .give more attention to American history , --,,- and the lives of those men who have made the',-, -TA ilderness into the greatest republic on earth. We must instil into the mind of every child 'a love of country and a respect for law. The principles of right living must be taught at all times. The new - course of study must be shaped on broader lines and with a more definite purpose than the pre -war - course. Every good school today is making an ef- fort to revise its courses in order to meet more fully the pressing demands of the times. Everything - must be systematized and made clear'' before the - best results can be attained. Teachers and school administrators must work together in order to make the success of this undertaking which is second to-, no, ether protecting our free American institutions.. Before the close of the year we hope 'that both the - courses and the interpretation of them will show- the hove-the wisdom of our efforts. i Ic 37 CONCLUSION In closing this brief report I wish to express my „appreciation of the loyal service of the teachers who ._have worked faithfully for the promotion of the best interests of the pupils. I appreciate also the ready *co-operation of the parents, and the cordial support of the School Committee. Respectfully submitted, NELSON G. HOWARD.

I took a C1- Itsin Latin of the ninth grade pupils. - Daily � physical training in the school has been provided for under the direc- tion of Miss Tarr.- Under my supervision the boys gymnasiumhave had the use of the High School three hours a week for athletic games in general. Similar work for the girls has been conducted by Miss Paul and Miss Tarr. The exceptionally large seventh grade entering, the building made it necessary to place additional - seats in each room. Next room with an estimated in cominp class of one hundred and twenty I fail to -see,, how the pupils can be properly instructed or seated without the services of one more teacher and an extra room. The Main street. building this year has, proved satisfactory as a temporary makeshift, but to meet the needs of better. instruction and of an in- creasing number of pupils a new Junior High School. building 'is needed at once. I hope that the senti- ment of this community is still favorable to such a. m ove. I wish that there might be still inose interest. on the part of the parents. The results of the -school upon the pupils would be far better if the parents would more often visit the teachers and -principals, to inquire about the progress of work and means of' co-operation. , It has been a pleasure for me to work under the and the courteous and efficient direction of yourself ai school committee. I desire also most cordially to, thank the teachers and parents, both for their general assistance and for their hearty good will.. Yours respectfully, WILLIAM 11. BAILEY. 44 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE CENTRAL. .SCHOOL Mansfield, Mass., January 12, 1920. Mr. Nelson Howard, Superintendent of Schools, Dear Sir: I hereby submit my first report, as Principal of Central School. With the opening of the Spring term, March 31, the eight teachers who had been working under the raisatisfactory Platoon System were put back upon the old-time schedule, each teacher having her own room, her own sets of books, and her own class of Pupils. This was made possible by the removal of Grades VII. and VIII, to the remodeled No. 4 Build, ing on Main street. The benefits derived from the change have been much appreciated by pupils, parents, and teachers. A room in the attic of Central School was equipped with proper furnishings for twenty pupils, and Miss Tobey was secured as teacher. There are now eleven rooms in the building in charge of eleven teachers. The enrolment for this yea r* is 415. The attend- ance been good, not, one room having fallen be- low 90 per cent. The upper er grad e's have- averaged 96 per cent. We have various devices for encourag- ing good attendance, and there is a friendly- spirit of rivalry among pupils and teachers as, to which room shall be awarded "Card No. V' There have been very few cases of truancy. The Attendance Officer and School Nurse have been most helpful in ascertaining doubtful cases. 45 There has been but oneyesignation since March - Miss Basset, teacher in the fifth grade, resigned t(> o.ccept a position much nearer her home, with a bet-. ter salary. Miss Winslow, second grade teacher, was transferred to fill that vacancy, and Miss Guild, former Principal of Spaulding School, took Miss. Winslow's place in Grade 11. It is very gratifying that there have been no,. other changes. We are indeed fortunate to have hept with us these, -efficient teachers when other su- perintendents come to them with flattering offers. It inspiraion'to be is an with such enthusiastic, loyal workers. It is interesting to note that six of the-. eleven teachers have homes in Mansfield. The pupils in the two fifth and three sixth - grades are below grade. This is because t -here have - been so many changes in teachers previous to this, year, and also because of time lost through enforced vacations and the Platoon System. We are laying aside non=essentials and holding fast to the fundamentals this year, hoping to bring, these pupils up to standard. We appreciate the in terest and hearty support shown by the parents rela tive to home work assigned to pupils. We call Friday "Penny Day, and in this way - e get new records for our Victrola. These have - 'proven helpful in the folk dances and gymnastic exercises. Both teachers and pupils have been working - in, various ways to procure money for the purchase-- of urchase- oT a piano. Parents and friends have responded ip gc.nerously. A substantial sum has already been-., banked, and we hope when the Spring Term opens, we shall have a piano in Central School all paid for!" Each week the janitor gives the fire signal and-, A A 46 is are ex-nected to file out of the wilding in two pup `k:f' one -ha minutes. v3sh to thank SV yo'Li, the' School Committee, and I and encouragement. Iit the townspeople for help r reflation of the co -opera - wish also to- expresso app t'.ve spirit of teachers and pupils. Respectfull submitted, MARION G. JANE5. REPORT F THE SUPERVISORO� USIA January 19, 1920. Brockton, Pass., Cdr. Nelson G. Howard, Supt. of Schools, Mansfiel., Mass. Idr. . dear Mr. Howard: ort on music `in the I am pleased to submit a rep schools of Mansfield covering the � period from optember thru December 191.9, this pelllg rriy st report sia2ce returning from service in the U. S. aerest It is possible to report several items of lYit Mid progress with regard to our music. In Septem_ ber five introduced ,a new system of music nstru tion in Grades I. to VI. inclusive, with the Prtwo g ;sive Music' Series. This series aims to realize two fundamental ideals; first, to assemble from a ail - able sources the best music for, school -purposes; sec- ond, to organize this material. into a plan of music instruction based upon approved principles of mod- chology. The: music material ern educational psy comprises the best- that could be found in the libra- ries of America and Europe; original songs wrltter. b Y many of the foremost living composers; and ,characteristic folk songs. The songs . in, the series, ed merit 'fr;om. the standpoint of are of unquestion real musical worth and cultural, value. i; The ped - i I I I 47 agogical plan of the course is the result of many years of practical classroom experience. It tales into careful consideration every element which has contributed to. the remarkable advance in public - school music inthis country.Every step advocated is In thorough accord%\lith the conclusions of the leading autaorities on child study.11d educational psychology. It is quite evident fron a actual experi- tence in teaching the songs to the children that the songs are hypes that well, suit the needs and inter- est of the children in the different stages of their development. Our teachers are ei2thusiastie about -the songs and the definiteness with ,vhich the tech- nical material may. be presented. For this I am Pleased. In the Junior High ;,School the music is being .successfully presented, the departmental idea work- ing splendidly; with Miss Grover as the teacher o music. Here songs ,may be chosen which give op- -portunity for the adolescent child to begin to experi- the expression of the best emtions. o ence At the High School the general singing is divided into two sections, the girls singing together In one chords and the boys in another. This yeav eve have organized an orchestra nt3mbering thirteen players and a girls' glee club of forty singers. These �oaganizations meet weekly for practise and at press ent tive are preparing' for a 'concert to be given in the spring.These clubs offer opportunity to thoso .qualified, for advanced music instruction and experi- -ence. At Christmas appropriate carols were sung ill every school in town and a Christmas Eve Sing was held at the High School for the people of the com- 3 3 munity at which' the High School, orchestra played 48 and the girls' glee club sang. The custom of Christ-: mas caroling is spreading with increased interest each year in our towns and cities. I am spending two days each week in Mans -- field now and this allows me to arrange for and. conduct more musical activity in the schools and community than formerly. I wish to thank the school committee, you as superintendent, and all teachers for their enthu sasm and co-operation with me in the musical inter-- est of the town of Mansfield. Respectfully submitted, BERNARD B. NYE, Supervisor of Music. REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR ...OF 'PHYSICAL. EDUCATION Mr. Nelson Howard, Superintendent of Schools. With the opening of schools in September, the work in Physical Training was started under the, direction of a supervisor. Many of the teachers had. clone something along this line, and so the work itself was not absolutely new. The mild weather of September and October, made it possible to do the work out of doors. In. a ii the grades up to the seventh, the work consisted of a short drill each day in the fundamentals of gymnastic exercises, folk dancing, singing and reg- ular gymnastic. games. The exercises tend to make deeperbreathing- a habit, correct faulty posture, and develop .good form and carriage: The dances aim to bring about: rhythm, grace and coordination of the ` movementsT 49 A of the body. The purpose of games is to quicken the power of thinking, to develop accuracy, the 1 spirit of competition and fairness. With the scholars limited to the space in the school room, the work necessarily changes a little; but the same fundamentals are made to fit the space in which they are to be carried on. The ' work in the Junior High School is limited on account of the crowded condition of the rooms, and the structure of the building. Here we have a fifteen minute setting up drill every day, during which practically all the muscles of the body are l exercised. The windows are opened, and the lungs are filled with a fresh supply of oxygen. Arrange- ments have been made for both boys and girls to use the High School drill hall for some of their work. The girls spend one afternoon from three forty to five on wand exercises, folk dances and games; also an hour on a different day for Basket Ball practice. In High School, our outdoor work was carried on mostly at Lowney's Field. During the fall, the girls learned the game of "Bat Ball," formed teams, and played a series of games. All four classes in school were represented by a team, each class play- ing every other class. The 'Sophomores won the series, and that team was presented with a silver cup. Their work indoors could be much more varied and interesting, if some gymnastic apparatus could be obtained. This could be used by all pupils who t use the drill hall for the purpose of exercising. It would be my desire to plan for systematic teaching of Hygiene in all the grades during next year. Physical Education` in a broad sense included Hygiene, and the two should be taught to all the 1 50 r,i7.il i' n. Eoth: subjects have for their aim the N °: l no�vl`�?ge of right living, and the maintenance of a healthy body. All the teachers have been very much interested in the work, seeming anxious for their scholars to reach the highest point of E-;?.s...s. With bot perfection in thei exthe h teachers and scholars feels g enthusiasm they do for the work, T feel sure that the ,ear will be a beneficial one for all. Respectfully submitted, GLADYS 14.
