REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE
POOL: FOR THE YEAR ENDING
DECEMBER 31, 1914°
To the Citizens of the Town of Mans fceld :
In presenting 'this report for the year 1914 we wish in the
first place to thank the voters for the appropriation made al
the last annual town meeting which has enabled us to renovat(
the home and make it more comfortable and sanitary for the
inmates. The town water has been extended to the farm sc
that the house and barn are both supplied. The home has
two toilet rooms with hot and cold water in both, also at the
sinks which convenience is greatly appreciated both by the
matron and inmates.
We feel now that with steam heat and electric lights which
we installed last, year, that the home is in very good condition,
and we have been able to, make our town charges fairly com-
fortable and the caretakers work a little easier, not forgetting
the more sanitary conditions which these changes have made.
The expense account is larger this year due to adding a
silo to the place at a cost of $289.68, also repairs on the
barn costing $286.68 and repairs in the house amounting to,
$136.27, but on the other hand you will see by the report
that the receipts have been larger which enables us to close
the year with a small balance.
Following will be found a statement of receipts and ex-
penditures.

REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUS'T'EES.
To the Citizens of Mans field :—
Since March last, the library rooms have been open each
week day (excepting Wednesdays and holidays) from 2 to
5 in the afternoon and from 6 to- 9 in the evening. This
seems to have met with the approval of the readers, as more
books than ever before were distributed, viz., a total of
24,800.
There were 303 new borrowers and 364 new books added, in
addition to a new Catholic Encyclopedia, presented by the
Rev. Hugh B. Harrold, Mr. Geo,. C. Shields, Mr. Lawrence
J. Jackson, Miss Annie B. Curtin, Mr. Wm. P. McDermott,
Mr. Arthur J. Fenton, and also two books presented by Mr.
Geo. C. Shields.
The Treasurer's report is given, and we recommend the
same appropriation as heretofore.

working capacity are costing more money and the salaryof contaous_diseases in order theft_ they mavNnot bea s®ti
lists have been advanced in order that the town may retain'
in so far as possible, its able corps of instructors.
The increase of pupils has demanded increased accommoda
tions, more teachers and more supplies.
There are some buildings in which the sanitary arrange-
ments need overhauling and it is felt by the Committee that -
work of this sort should be done with as little delay as
possible.
Reference to past Town Reports will show that no increase
in School Appropriation has been asked for since the addi-
tional increase granted in 1912.
The Committee beg to call attention to a 'series of com-
parative statistics compiled from the 1912-1913 Report of
the Commissioner of Education of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. It was thought than much might be learned ti
and the status of the Public Schools better appreciated if AN
the manner in which other- towns were handling Public School
matters were given in detail. Accordingly the four towns of 0'
the State of Massachusetts which are next larger, than M
m
Mansfield were selected as well as the four which are next
smaller. As the statistics are self-explanatory it will be
unnecessary to, go into detail here. F
The Report of the Superintendent of Schools will be found A
appended. It is with regret that the announcement is made
that the explanatory material usually accompanying the N
Superintendent's Report will "have to be omitted as the con-
tinned illness of Mr. Fitts has made impossible the compila-
tion of the necessary data. Such omitted matter of the
Superintendent's Report will be published in the next annual
Report of the School Committee.
Attention is called to the Report of the School Physician.
It is rapidly coming to, be felt that the State has a duty
toward the child in the matter sof its physical development and
welfare as well as in its mental training. To this end fre-
quent examinations are made of all children and special at-
tention is paid to such pupils as are kept from school because
capacity are costing more money and the salary

of his work.

Words by Mary Dixie Bigelow
Music by Harold Ellsworth Keenan
I.
As comes the note of meadow -lark full clear,
Full calm at dawn,
So comes to us to -night the thought that near
Us change is borne.
It beckons us; hope bids us go and verds
The gentle path that leads to, Deeds, not Words.
Ii.
Throughout these happy days of youth kind friends
Made glad our day;
They taught us truth and trust: their love attends
Us on our way.
And great, great thanks to these, our guides, we owe,
Who helped us more by Deed than Word to grow..
a
There's work ahead for every one, some task
That each may do
And may we ever cherish strength to ask
What's right to, do.
May kindness lead our steps; this be our aim:
To live by Deeds, not Words, unto His name.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
Brockton, Mass., December 31, 1914.
MR. EDWARD P. F'ITTS, Superintendent of Schools,
Mansfield, Mass.
My dear Mr. Fitts
: -
I am pleased to. submit my report on the subject of music
in the public schools of Mansfield for the year 1914, and to
note that our music' study has made favorable progress dur-
ing` the year, both from the musical and technical stand-
points, in that there has been .a gain in definiteness of re-
sults. We are working with this ideal in mind,—that we
cannot be sure of definite results without a defihlite plan of
work to follow. As an aid to, such results, I have placed in
the hands of the teachers' of the fourth grade and above, an
outline of music study in detail for the year (I hope soon to
have the outlines for grades below the fourth, typewritten).
This outline insures in our course of study the inclusion of
the features we desire at the present time, and gives the
teachers an opportunity to realize the scope of the work and
to make connection between its different elements. From a
technical standpoint, we are teaching only such music theory

This outline insures in our course of study the inclusion of
the features we desire at the present time, and gives the
teachers an opportunity to realize the scope of the work and
to make connection between its different elements. From a
technical standpoint, we are teaching only such music theory
as we deem necessary that the child shall know, in order, that
he may sing from the staff and express himself in regard to
the music notation intelligently. The technical in music
study is only the means to, the end—the musical. One way
in which we are emphasizing the musical side in the grades
where the child first learns the songs from notation, is the
memorizing of such songs and the musical singing of same
after they have been perfectly learned from notation. We
feel that this practice gets us away from the mechanical,
after this means has served its purpose. We are cultivating
the feature of .individual responsibility for every problem
taught the class, and we give the individual as much attention
as is possible and justifiable.
We believe the one great reason for the inclusion of music
as a subject in the curriculum of our public schools, is its
power as a factor of great influence for good in human lives.
Since music is the language of the emotions, we are dealing
with a vital element of life when we endeavor to create ability
to express one's feelings through music, and also to cultivate
a love for the beautiful as it exists in good music, both from
the standpoint of the performer and the listener. The art
of knowing good music and of appreciating it, is one to be
cultivated if we would be well educated and a musical nation
in the best sense. How are we to, learn to appreciate good
music? I know of no way except to take part ' in the per-
formance of or to listen to a good performance of the best
musical art. In the school, the chorus singing and orchestra
playing give -opportunities for performances of good music.
From the standpoint of the listener, we must have a means
of getting good music before our pupils. To this end, the
talking machine and mechanical players are today playing_
an importaft part. At the present time, our High School
is at work upon a plan to raise funds for the purchase of a
talking machine and records, and it is hoped that we may
add these to our equipment. By means of the mechanical
playing devices, pupils may hear reproductions of good ex-
amples of vocal and instrumental music. We can study the
different voices, instruments, forms and, types -of music in
detail, thus getting in close touch with what we actually
desire to know and learn how to appreciate.
This year, since September, at the Nigh School, we have
been having tw' o periods a week for music. ®wing to the
growth in numbers we have divided the school into two
choruses,—the three upper classes forming one chorus and
the lower class the other chorus. This, of course, means
additional time on my part, as does also the division of the
ninth grade. ®wing to. these increases in late in classes and
schools throughout the town, it has been necessary for me to
reduce my visits to all schools (except the High School) to
once in three weeks instead of once in two weeks as formerly,
and each visit is now of only fifteen minutes duration at the
• outside. One day a week is at present being given to music
supervision. The grades are therefore' receiving inadequate
supervision and in the interest of the subject -of music should
receive more attention.
The musical' spirit is the thing to, create in public schools,
and this gained, lead the pupils to. the highest possible level
in the best musical art.
I desire to thank the School Committee, the Superintend-
ent and the teachers for their co-operation in the interest of
our music.
Respectfully submitted,
BERNARD B. NYE,
Supervisor of Music.

the standpoint of the performer and the listener. The art
of knowing good music and of appreciating it, is one to be
cultivated if we would be well educated and a musical nation
in the best sense. How are we to, learn to appreciate good
music? I know of no way except to take part ' in the per-
formance of or to listen to a good performance of the best
musical art. In the school, the chorus singing and orchestra
playing give -opportunities for performances of good music.
From the standpoint of the listener, we must have a means
of getting good music before our pupils. To this end, the
talking machine and mechanical players are today playing_
an importaft part. At the present time, our High School
is at work upon a plan to raise funds for the purchase of a
talking machine and records, and it is hoped that we may
add these to our equipment. By means of the mechanical
playing devices, pupils may hear reproductions of good ex-
amples of vocal and instrumental music. We can study the
different voices, instruments, forms and, types -of music in
detail, thus getting in close touch with what we actually
desire to know and learn how to appreciate.
This year, since September, at the Nigh School, we have
been having tw' o periods a week for music. ®wing to the
growth in numbers we have divided the school into two
choruses,—the three upper classes forming one chorus and
the lower class the other chorus. This, of course, means
additional time on my part, as does also the division of the
ninth grade. ®wing to. these increases in late in classes and
schools throughout the town, it has been necessary for me to
reduce my visits to all schools (except the High School) to
once in three weeks instead of once in two weeks as formerly,
and each visit is now of only fifteen minutes duration at the
• outside. One day a week is at present being given to music
supervision. The grades are therefore' receiving inadequate
supervision and in the interest of the subject -of music should
receive more attention.
The musical' spirit is the thing to, create in public schools,
and this gained, lead the pupils to. the highest possible level
in the best musical art.
I desire to thank the School Committee, the Superintend-
ent and the teachers for their co-operation in the interest of
our music.
Respectfully submitted,
BERNARD B. NYE,
Supervisor of Music.
REPORT OSCHOOL
To the School Committee.—
The annual inspection .of schools has been made for the
year 1914 in compliance with the statutes and the acompany-
ing chart will show some of the conditions found.
CHART.
You will see that many of the children have had their
teeth filled and I can add that some of them are taking ex-
cellent care of their teeth. Effort was made to impress
upon the children the relation which cariousteeth bears to
disease, and the importance of oral and dental hygiene.
Many more should become interested and realize the import-
ance of caring for the teeth.
Seventy-five children stated their tonsils have been operated
upon surgically. There are still remaining children who
149
are undoubtedly handicapped by abnormally large tonsils
who would be benefited by their removal.
It is a pleasure to note that over ninety-eight per cent of
the children have been successfully vaccinated thereby re-
ceiving the best known protection against small -pox.
'There were seventy-eight children who. had pediculosis.
This is a great improvement over the condition found the
first year the schools were inspected, yet it is not wholly
satisfactory because this is a preventable disease, and all
that is required is personal hygiene and watchful care on the
part of parents and children.
A large majority of the children come to school clean and
well cared for, but there still remains too many who .have
not yet waked up to, the fact that soap and water are our
best weapons against this and other diseases.
Frequent visits have been made to the schools and upon
the teachers' request children have been examined and some
of them given a notice calling the parents' attention to their
condition, and suggesting medical care.
In our effort to improve the physical condition of the
children and prevent disease we appreciate very much the
co-operation of parents," children and physicians. The school
is not the place for sick children, they should remain at home
until recovered, and if they have had a contagious or in-
fectious disease, they should upon returning to school pre-
sent to the teacher a written statement from their physician
that they have recovered. Such a notice will assure the
teacher that the child is in fit condition, and this precaution
will tend to prevent serious epidemics.

Eleventh Annual Report
of the
Municipal Lighting Board
Of Mansfield, Mass.
1914
REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHTING
BOARD.
We hereby submit to, the citizens of the Town of Mansfield
,our report for the year ending December 31, 1914.
The business depression of the past year has caused a
marked falling off in the demand for current and only by
the addition of new business has the income of the plant been
maintained. The outlook for the coming year we regard as
rather more favorable, and believe the year 1915 will show
a gain in the receipts.
In the items of expense in operation, water, insurance and
repairs of lines are notable examples, and in the case of the
two first mentioned, should be greatly reduced the coming
year. We have installed a complete pumping unit 'which
we are operating at a low cost. ' The fire insurance is paid
for the ensuing year and has a credit in premiums on deposit
of $555-14. Repairs of lines for, the coming year will show
no material reduction and may be somewhat increased as
late storms have caused considerable damage to poles and -
wires and will necessitate an overhauling of the entire sys-
tem. The station equipment we regard in a very satis-
factory condition and should require only ordinary repairs
during the coming year.
In order that the plant should be conserved, yet meet every
requirement demanded by the consumer in the line of ad&
tional current, your board has installed a break -down service
to guarantee the above demand. They have contracted with
153
the Union Light & Power Company for a service that has a
300 kilowatt capacity, to be delivered at the plant in Mans-
field. This service has been installed and will be in opera-
tion soon. Its object is to supply current during temporary
shut -downs, and at periods when the load at the station is
either very light or slightly in excess of the machine in
operation. Without this it would be necessary to. start an
additional unit.
The installation of the break -down service is a practice
that plants are adopting 'generally and is regarded as good
insurance from a service standpoint. The power is fur-
nished by the Stone & Webster plant at Woonsocket and
transported by high tension lines. It is carried -over the
highways of Mansfield on the poles of the local plant, and is
controlled by the plant who, reserve all rights. The agree-
ment is on a yearly basis and is renewable for a period of
ten years.
We recommend the appropriation -of $7,061-00 for street
lighting, together with the receipts of the plant for main-
tenance.
The report of the manager is appended and will be found
to contain much valuable data relating to the plant, and it
will repay a careful perusal.
We wish at this time to thank the citizens for their hearty
support during the past year, alsoto, thank the manager and
other employees of the plant for their conscientious efforts
that have made the plant so successful both from a point of
service and financially.
Respectfully yours,
W. H. LyolTs,
D. C. RICHARDSON,
W. H. ALLEN,
Commissioners.
GENTLEMEN :—1 hereby submit for your consideration and
approval the report of the business, operation and financial
154
condition of the plant for the year ending December 31st,
19-14. sistance during the yea
The increase in receipts for current sold during the year business in detail. .
is exceptionally small. The power business has increased
while the commercial business showed a slight decrease. This $esp
decrease is due to, the universal use of the high efficiency
lamps and the general business depression.
In accordance with a vote of the town at the last March
meeting we have installed street lights on Elm Street and
Pratt Street. Also, by order of the Selectmen we: installed
one light on Mope Street. We received the sum of $6,996.00
for street lights and have paid the following items—sinking
fund requirements, bond payments, interest and depreciation,
the total of which is $10,546.12. The above new lights
added to the system at different times during the year will
make an increase of $65.00 or a total of $7,061.00 for street
lighting.
A well was dug near the building and a motor driven
triplex pump installed for pumping the circulating water
for the engines, thus eliminating the use of town water.
The fire insurance for the ensuing year has been paid,
using the premium, credit returned. This increases this item
$630.00 more than usual.
Some of the bad debts that have been collecting 'since the
plant started have been charged to Profit and Los's.
A satisfactory agreement was submitted by ` the Union
Light & Power Company for a 300- kilowatt break -down
service and the line has been practically completed. The
current will be turned on very soon and will be at our dis-
posal at all times.
We certainly can save money by purchasing current on
Sundays and holidays, also at such times that we are now
operating at a poor efficiency. We will have a service on
our switchboard that we can use at any time capable of
carrying our entire load in case of trouble with our own ma-
chinery.
I wish to thank the Board for their support and kind as-
