REPORT ON CONDITIONS.
Ve have finished scouting for the Gypsy Moth Egg clus-
and have found 346 against 839 colonies last year,
l'12,681 Brown -tails lastY J
ear. We are just starting to
ect the Brown -tail webs and we estimate they will not ex -
1. 3,000 this season. I find the town in a very` much' better
clition this ,year, owing principally to the extensive spray -
done.
also find that about 157o of the Gypsy Moths are unable
emerge from the pupae, owing to the disease (Flacherie)
imonly called Wilt Disease which have attacked them in
: section. The disease seems to be quite prevalent in this
tion and all parts of the town. Under the present condi-
l
I
96
tions it will be somewhat difficult to, exterminate the Moths
unless we have the co-operation of the property owners, and
also the Telephone and Electric Light Cos. Where there were
bad infestations last year the owners have removed the trees.
One instance (and there are many) is that of Angel St.: the
owner cut the trees and removed them in the form of wood
across the town; along this line of travel there will very likely
be infestations another year.
Fruit trees should not be pruned until they have first been
inspected. There are several places where Telephone and
Electric wiremen have cut the limbs from trees and thrown
them over the wall in wooded places. This should not be per-
mitted without first having been inspected.
There are a few people who, have found the Gypsy Egg
clusters and have scraped them offthe trees, "ignorant" of
what they are. This ought not to be done for they will Batch
just as well on the ground as on the tree.
EXTERMINATING THE GYPSY AND BROWN -TAIL
MOTHS.
I am asked by many people in what manner we will be able
to ,exterminate the Gypsy and Brown -tail Moths, and for the
benefit of those interested I will submit a brief explanation.
The Gypsy Moth is susceptible to, several diseases; the one
most common, and the -one claimed to be hereditary is the
(Flacherie) or commonly called Wilt. disease. This is brought
on by inferior food and weather condition. A caterpillar suf-
fering from it soon stops eating and becomes weak and lazy;
in a few hours the caterpillar becomes more flaccid and one leg
after the other loses its support and finally it dies. In many
places where this disease prevailed last season only 1 Io of
the caterpillars survived.
9'7
ie 'state officials are importing several parasites to, dis-
the Moths. The three most important are: "CALOSO-
BEETLE," "TECNOID FLY" and the "ICHNEU
t FLY." These parasites are very fond of the Gypsy
Brown -tail Moths and devour great numbers of them.
e are also several parasites of the Brown -tail Moth that
.ative, but they are not as destructive as the imported
give the complete history of these insects would, require
space, but would be pleased to inform those interested.

ltloth Superintendent.'

Report of Library Trustees
Mansfield, Mass., Dec. '31, 1912.
During the year the total number of books issued was
19,614, showing that the library was well patronized. 295
new books were added which keeps the literature well up to
date. We also bought a magazine case, so that not only cur-
rent numbers of magazines will be found in the reading room,
but the back numbers as well, which we trust will serve to
benefit the readers.
The Treasurer's reportis herewith submitted.
Very respectfully,
W. L. ROBINSON, Pres.,
W. A. COPELAND,

Showing the number in each grade, December, ' 1912.
SCHOOLS GRADES Totals
The census, of the school children taken in the fall shows
twenty-four less than the numberfound last fall between five
and fifteen years of age, but the number actually attending
school in December is only fourteen less than in December,
1911. This is the exact number that have removed from
the six outlying schools. The Green School has retained
almost the same number as last year, the Central School has
thirty-seven less, but the combined Spaulding and Paine
Schools have sixty more than the Spaulding alone had last
year when no Paine School was reported.
We started the schools in the Paine School building on
March 1, 1912, and entered the, New High School building
on 'April 1, 1912. The changes brought about many ad-
justments because -of having more room at our disposal in
25
the Central Building as well as the new rooms at the Paine
School. It was decided to, send to the Paine School all who,
lived north and west of the steam railroad tracks, not includ-
ing West street, so that no young children would have to
cross these tracks in going to school. This drew pupils
from the Spaulding, Central, Green and Town House schools.
The Town Douse schools were transferred to the Central,
the Green Primary relieved. of one grade which was sent to
the Green Intermediate, so. that both the Paine and the Green
schools have the, same arrangement of grades, one and two
being in the primary room and three, four and five in the
intermediate.
Already the Green School has reached the same number
as there were before the change was made lacking two, and
the Spaulding School is fast catching up, while at the Central
School we have plenty of room in the lower grades`. This
has enabled us to put fewer pupils in each room and to, do
this, employ another teacher, so that there should be an
average of about thirty-five to- each teacher. I believe no
greater advance has been made ,in our schools than this of
having a smalle number of pupils in these lower grades.
Before we could make this arrangement, we had usually more
than fifty in a room. With this'large'number it was an im -
possibility to give the attention which each individual needed.
Another advantage has been attained in that the special
teacher in this building can devote her time now to the older
pupils where the number in each room is still large and give
to those who are having their last chance an opportunity to
get help' where they need it the most. With all these im-
proved conditions we must not fail to turn out a better pro-
duct and to this end all the teachers are putting forth their
best efforts. Last year we made, a specialty of spelling, this
year we are putting extra attention upon arithmetic while
we do not mean to, neglect any subject in our course.
Strenuous efforts have been made to have every child Pres-
ent every clay as the law of the State demands, in order to
reap the benefit which the schools have to offer. In no other

we do not mean to, neglect any subject in our course.
Strenuous efforts have been made to have every child Pres-
ent every clay as the law of the State demands, in order to
reap the benefit which the schools have to offer. In no other
26
way can progress be made commensurate with the effortput
forth. From the excuses for absence which I have seem it
is very apparent that the great majority of the parents are
working heartily with the teachers for the best good of all
concerned. The Truant Officer should also receive due rec-
ognition for the important part he has taken in enforcing'
the law and spending many hours in his often thankless task.
TEACHERS.
Several of our teachers have been offered better paying
positions elsewhere and have accepted, much to our loss.
Others have left us for other reasons which we could not con-
trol. Every school in West Mansfield started the fall term -
with new teachers, all of them normal graduates. Inex-
perienced, they have much to learn, but they have given of
their enthusiasm which is `'-often lacking in older teachers and
we are pleased to record that they have succeeded in overcom-
ing many difficulties which beset such schools. In some cases
there seems to be a lawlessness on the part of those not con-
nected with the schools which delights to break windows and
disturb the school. We cannot plead too earnestly that
everyone should help to make these schools the very best, even
though the conditions'' for work are not as favorable as in
other sections. Teachers often have- to, put forth much
energy to be present in all weathers and hampered by short
recitation periods and many subjects, even doing their best
they find it often unsatisfactory to themselves. There is a
possibility, however, - of accomplishing much by well-timed
programs and constant watchfulness that not a moment be
lost. The classes are small and more individual attention
can be given, but there cannot be the long drills so necessary
to fix the subject in hand. We still wish there could be a
consolidation of these schools that there might be better
grading and greater inducements for teachers to remain year
after year, for we have lost many who simply would not stay
and work with so many grades. It is an open fact that good
27
teachers 'do not have to stay in many -graded schools. The
competition is so great and so many vacancies occur every
year that good, experienced teachers do not have to wait long
for a good opening.
There has been only one change at East Mansfield and four
new teachers have been engaged at the Center. We regret
the. departure -of Mrs. Harding who has been acting as
Master's Assistant and teacher of special pupils, but when
a business position at a $1,000 a year is offered to her, we
cannot blame her for accepting and wondering why so. many
gifted teachers remain in the profession when other occupa-
tions offer so much more alluring money compensation. It
must be that for more than we give them credit, 'there are a
multitude of teachers who are working not for mere salary,
but or the good which they are constantly doing. Our
teachers are paid a fair wage as compared with other com-
munities of our size and valuation, but it is a mystery how
they are able to, meet their expenses in these days of high
cost of living.
HIGH SCHOOL. •
The Nigh School literally runs like clock -work. The
master -clock sounds out the hours,', the teachers and pupils
are in their places for the opening exercises and so, the work'
goes on till the close of school. The commercial department
continues to be the favorite one in the school and soi many
elected the course that it seemed best for the efficiency of
the school to employ another teacher who could help in this
department as well as assist in teaching Algebra and English.
This relieves the regular teacher at the head of the depart-
ment from teaching commercial arithmetic, commercial law,
rapid calculation and spelling, while her time is fully occupied
in teaching stenography, typewriting, bookkeeping and pen-
manship, and I know of no school where it is better taught.'
Provision is now made so that the principal has some periods
for seeing what work his several departments are doing, so
that there shall be a unity in the work so desirable -for the.
highest success. having retained all our- teachers; of 'last
year and having one additional teacher, I feel justified in say-
ing "that conditions for work were never so favorable nor re-
sults more promising. It gives me great pleasure to. say
this, for when writers of magazine articles are putting forth
statements which are easily proven untrue and are trying to
make people believe that the product of the high school is a
failure, men all over the country who have facts to back them
up, show beyond a possibility of a doubt that a large pro-
portion of high school graduates have met ;with commendable
success and are no failures.
I would like to, copy very freely from the G6Journal of
Education" which has devoted page after page to answers,
to questions given to men long employed as teachers. Says
one, "I meet the boys and girls, with whomI came in contact
while in charge of schools, frequently. They are now college
presidents, editors of metropolitan newspapers, ministers,
college professors, congressmen, successful managers and
owners of commercial enterprises, teachers, missionaries, fire-
men and. policemen. They are scattered all over the world,
one is manager of a bank in Holland, another in Italy, one in
Russia at the head of a large business, another in China. I
have never' heard of one who was degenerate, an inmate of a
penitentiary, or occupying 'a place in the bread line."
Another says, "I have followed the careers of a large num-
ber of boys that went through my' high schools and they are
almost without exception meeting with unusual success in
life. One of them to -day is a leading clergyman in the city
of Chicago. _mother is one of the ablest business men in
the city of Boston. Still another is one of the ablest physi-
cians in Boston. Three ' others are college professors. One
is a college president. Several are farmers, and without ex-
ception' as farmers they are leaders in the communities in
which they live. About a half-dozen became lawyers, and
two have been exceptionally successful as representatives of
their communities in the halls of legislation. To. say that
29
the` young people who went through my high schools are fail-
ures in life is a base slander."
Another, "The failures, covering twenty-seven years of
my experience with high schools, have been so few that I can
count them on the fingers of one hand. I have watched hun-
dreds pass through the elementary schools into the high
schools and pass thence into fine manhood and womanhood,
but I have never heard of one of my boys or girls being under
arrest. As to individual examples, I have seen a girl of
twelve wearing sabots and delivering milk from door to door,
become the personal friend of the foremost professors of
English in American universities, and herself later draw a
salary of $2,500 a year as professor of German. I have -seen
two boys living half a mile from the road pass through the
public schools to university and become famous lawyers with
fortunes and a home life that is sweet and full of blessings
to themselves and to the community in which they live. I
have seen a boy in night school enter the high school, become
coxswain -of the greatest college crew in America, and become
a highly successful lawyer in the Nall Street +district of New
York. I have seen a boy at fourteenyears flout the sugges-
tion of his employer to spend his own well-earned money in-
stead of taking it to his mother, sent to the local schools and
force his own way to a trusted position in life with a salary
of $ 3,500 per year. The public schools train boys and girls,
developing manhood and womanhood, character, physical
strength, intelligence, and leaders of men and women. So
true is this that I have scarcely known a boy to leave high
school without sincere regret."
We believe our high school graduates can show a. similar'
record.
To show the standing of our high school since 1N/Ir. Had-
lock has been interested in it, he has kindly furnished the ac
companying figures. Whatever statements others may make,
here are interesting facts so different from those which have
been printed in the "Ladies' Home Journal":

I would like to, copy very freely from the G6Journal of
Education" which has devoted page after page to answers,
to questions given to men long employed as teachers. Says
one, "I meet the boys and girls, with whomI came in contact
while in charge of schools, frequently. They are now college
presidents, editors of metropolitan newspapers, ministers,
college professors, congressmen, successful managers and
owners of commercial enterprises, teachers, missionaries, fire-
men and. policemen. They are scattered all over the world,
one is manager of a bank in Holland, another in Italy, one in
Russia at the head of a large business, another in China. I
have never' heard of one who was degenerate, an inmate of a
penitentiary, or occupying 'a place in the bread line."
Another says, "I have followed the careers of a large num-
ber of boys that went through my' high schools and they are
almost without exception meeting with unusual success in
life. One of them to -day is a leading clergyman in the city
of Chicago. _mother is one of the ablest business men in
the city of Boston. Still another is one of the ablest physi-
cians in Boston. Three ' others are college professors. One
is a college president. Several are farmers, and without ex-
ception' as farmers they are leaders in the communities in
which they live. About a half-dozen became lawyers, and
two have been exceptionally successful as representatives of
their communities in the halls of legislation. To. say that
29
the` young people who went through my high schools are fail-
ures in life is a base slander."
Another, "The failures, covering twenty-seven years of
my experience with high schools, have been so few that I can
count them on the fingers of one hand. I have watched hun-
dreds pass through the elementary schools into the high
schools and pass thence into fine manhood and womanhood,
but I have never heard of one of my boys or girls being under
arrest. As to individual examples, I have seen a girl of
twelve wearing sabots and delivering milk from door to door,
become the personal friend of the foremost professors of
English in American universities, and herself later draw a
salary of $2,500 a year as professor of German. I have -seen
two boys living half a mile from the road pass through the
public schools to university and become famous lawyers with
fortunes and a home life that is sweet and full of blessings
to themselves and to the community in which they live. I
have seen a boy in night school enter the high school, become
coxswain -of the greatest college crew in America, and become
a highly successful lawyer in the Nall Street +district of New
York. I have seen a boy at fourteenyears flout the sugges-
tion of his employer to spend his own well-earned money in-
stead of taking it to his mother, sent to the local schools and
force his own way to a trusted position in life with a salary
of $ 3,500 per year. The public schools train boys and girls,
developing manhood and womanhood, character, physical
strength, intelligence, and leaders of men and women. So
true is this that I have scarcely known a boy to leave high
school without sincere regret."
We believe our high school graduates can show a. similar'
record.
To show the standing of our high school since 1N/Ir. Had-
lock has been interested in it, he has kindly furnished the ac
companying figures. Whatever statements others may make,
here are interesting facts so different from those which have
been printed in the "Ladies' Home Journal":

is that while many do not come 'up to the ;required standard

the parents themselves learned the -lesson. Iti is astonishing
e how much can be raised from a` small piece of ground if
properly cared for and a succession of crops planted. We
find one d*fnculty in the graded schools in that the children
who are with the teacher in the spring have passed on to. an-
other teacher in the fall so that their interests are not the
same or perhaps a new teacher is in charge who has not found
time 'to interest herself^ in all her pupils' interests. The
variety of corn sent last spring was of the field variety and
many parents who had only a small garden did not care, to
have this corn mixed with their sweet corn. We are assured
that next year this difficulty will be Obviated by sending us
sweet corn of the best variety.
What one little girl in the third grade did, you may learn
from her own story:
"Mr. Fitts gave me some seeds and some potato, seeds too,.
I made a garden and I had four rows of corn and five of
p otatoes and it was five feet long. When the fall came, I
dug them up, I pulled up my corn when it was ripe and it all
grew well. Margaret Brown."
PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST.
These- contests have been carried on for six years and this
year's contest was the last of the second series between our
High School and those of Sharon and Stoughton. Mrs.
Carolyn glanders had charge of the training of the Mans-
field speakers and the result of the preliminary contest which
10 was held in the Town Ball on February 12, was the choice of
Miss Veronica, Bradley, Miss Marguerite Fox and Bernard
Stearns to represent the High School in the final contest at
Stoughton. This was held on March 12, in the Town Hall,
at which the first prizes were awarded to Miss Bradley and
Bernard Stearns, while the second prizes were awarded one
each to Sharon and Stoughton. Miss Fox received a bronze
medal for her excellent speaking, as she ranked next to the
x winners.
The Emerson School of Oratory offered a half scholarship
to the speaker securing the highest rank in the contest. Miss
Bradley also won this scholarship.
It is an interesting fact to note that while in the first
series we won no first prizes, but four second prizes, in the
second series we won four first prizes and one second prize.
Apparently this proves what training can do with interest
on the part of those who, enter the contests. It was suggested
that it might be well to wait for a little while before taking'
up a third series -or perhaps try a debating contest' instead
of a speaking, but the masters of the three schools go -t to-
gether and decided to start again with the speaking. In this
they were encouraged by the committees of the several in-
terested towns and preparations have alread,v ba.n

We hereby submit to the citizens of the Town of Mansfield
our report for the year ending Dee. 31st, 1912. We take
pleasure in tendering you this report as the record of the
most successful year, from a financialstandpoint, in the
history of the Plant's operation.
the Plant have shown a material increase

over the preceding year. The operating expense has been
reduced, notwithstanding the advance in cost of fuel oils,
which item has more than doubled in price during the year.
Several items show a marked decrease, such, as repairs of
lines, etc.
The equipment of the station is in good serviceable condi-
tion each of the generating units regularly performing the
duties required of them.
Numerous requests have: reached your Board from various
private corporations engaged in the business of manufactur-
ing and sale of electricity, desiring that a purchasing option
be given to them covering the property of the Lighting Plant.
The Board has taken no action in this matter.
Perhaps it would be of sufficient interest to the citizens of
the Town, as to what expense the Town incurs in its mainte-
nance of street lights. The Town while making no appro-

with the exception of the No. 3 engine, or the One that was
installed five years ago. This engine has, however, been re-
bored, a new set of pistons installed, and repaired in general,
such as needed to put it in good serviceable condition.
In making some repairs on the No. I engine, it was found
that a defect had developed in the crank shaft. This was
replaced with a new one of German make.
The street lights were extended on Branch street in accord-
ance with the vote of the Town last March: Where are now
installed 390-40 watt -32 CP lights and 31-250 watt -200 CP
lights. The commercial service was extended to East Mans-
field.
A sprinkler system has been installed throughout the office
and basement of the main building.
The income from light and power was $21,136.60, an in-
crease of $1,973,82 over last year, -or about 10%.
There is no great amount of extra work to be done on the
limes during the coming year. Every engine and generator
unit is in good serviceable condition, and the general prospect
at present is in favor of the coming year.
I wish to thank the Board for their support and kind assist-
ance during the year. The follow=ing data will show the
business in detail.
Respectfully submitted,
GFo. W. WOOD,
Manager.
