iy of these gifts were accepted with the under -
that they may be transferred to the town or
110
Nigh school, or to any organization that may build or
establish rooms for historical purposes. Copies of the
deeds were made, which are on file for examination, and
the originals were placed in the fireproof vault in the
Town hall.
The Trustees expended the money donated by the Old
i(Home Week Committee, the larger portion of it being
used to buy a bust of Shakespeare and pedestal, which
now adorn one corner of the reading room. This selec-
tion was made by a committee chosen `'from the Ladies'
Auxiliary Committee and the Library Trustees, actin,,
l'` jointly. ,
E, The library rooms are open each Monday, Tuesday,` ,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening and Saturday af-
ternoon, except on holidays, and the following papers and
�i
magazines will be found on the tables

lIIVI In September Rev. Mr. _N'facnair resigned his office,
Ii, l and later Mr. John W. Rathbun was elected to fill the
vacancy for the balance of the year.
�I ( The total circulation for eleven months was 15873, of
which 14974 were fiction and the balance non-fiction of
various classes. One hundred new books were added
and 158 new borrowers were listed.
i
11; At the December meeting it was voted to have our
fiscal year conform to that of the town, and consequently
our books were closed December '
31, as the treasurer's
ININ
111
report herewith submitted will show. The report of the
circulation shows the very large percentage of books of
fiction demanded, and the trustees feel that the best they
can do, with the small amount of money at their disposal,
is to select as carefully as possible the best class of fic-
tion to meet this demand.
We recommend the same appropriation as last year,
realizing, however, that there are very many sets of valu-
able standard works which would be a great acquisition
to the library if the town wishes to appropriate money for
them.

At the close of the year we are always interested to see
how we stand in numbers compared with former years, and
we note with satisfaction the growth of the past year. At
its close we find thirty-nine more reported than a year ago,
enough to, make an extra. school.
This growth is not confined to any one school for all
have increased in numbers with the exception of the Green
School, and this is accounted for partly because a grade has
been transferred from that school to the Central to make
room for two large grades inhere three have been.
I desire to call your attention to the large number in
21
the 8th grade, which is seventy-two, aa� excess of twenty over
last year. Some of these may vot care to enter the 9th
grade but the prospect is that this ;rade will be the largest
for many years. All the schools in the Central Building are
large now, and as promotions are made in June, will prob-
ably fill up the rooms next higher to their fullest capacity.
There are seventy-two candidates torr the third grade, a num-
ber which we cannot possibly accommodate, and we seem
obliged to, resort to the old method e,,,f ,;pIitting the grade and
keeping part at the Spaulding ";cbool and relieving the
Green school from having three grades in the primary room
by transferring some to the ToA,�-n Hall who may be with-
in walking distance.
We are so cramped for rootan that we cannot plan any
two rears alike and have to resort to all sorts of: devices to
furnish places for the children. AVe never know how many
children will enter the first grade, This fall the number at
the. Town Mall has been uncommor[ly small, Added to this
the prevalence of whooping co�ngh which requires an ab-
sence of eight weeks and this grade tivill never catch up to
its normal condition. Many of the schools have suffered
but this one in particular. T'he high school has had the
largest enrollment in its history, and so popular has the bus'x-
ness course become that a new teacher was an, imperative
necessity. New typewriters were required and a place for
-the pupils to work. This has been poorly provided for by
the use of the Committee room, small and ill ventilated, and
inadequately heated until a nevv boih-tr was installed. This
arrangement deprives us of any plat_ to welcome visitors,-
parents
isitors,parents or agents excepting the corridors, and must give ,a
poor impression of the provisions rn;i(lc, for teaching Mans-
field children. Should they enter, lacwever, they will find
a veritable bee -hive of industry with machines in use from
morning till night, and the table surrounded with a busy
company en ;aged in studying boo!: -beeping or penmanship
or rapid calculation.
22
To show what a hold the Business Course has upon the
pupils of the high school, it will be necessary only to go buck
to a, year ago last June when we graduated from the gener-
al, scientific and business courses in the following order, 7, 5,
3. Last June the order was nearly reversed, 3, 3, 8. Per-
haps this is easily accounted for when positions with good
pay stand ready to receive the applicants as soon as they
graduate, whether men or women.
HFO-ld SCHOOL GRADUATES IN BUSINESS
The question is frequently asked, "Do high school grad-
uates give satisfaction to, business men?" In order to an-
sorer this question satisfactorily, a questionnaire was recent-
ly sent to each: of the boys who had graduated from the
Commercial Department of the Springfield ( Mass.) high
schools. The number of boys graduated from the commer-
cial course since its establishment in 1898 is 76, and from
these graduates 67 replies have been received. The follow-
ing table of average earnings is based upon these, replies:
Class Fears since First S)-alary Present Salary Yearly Inc.

The above table calls for very little ccmment. If '
the young men who, have graduated from the commercial
department have begun their employment with an average
23
annual salary of approximately $400, and if each of these
has received an average annual increase in salary of over
$Ioo, it would seem to be true that these boys have been
successful in business, and that a high school education pays.
DRAWING AND 1AUSIc
The greater growth of the schools has made it neces-
sary to, employ more of the time of the drawing teacher
and instead of one day each week she is given an extra day
every other week. N o�v it is 1*11tended that every outlying
school shall be visited on alternate weeks and that the prim-
ary schools at the Center and the High school shall have
more attention paid to them.
In the lower graders the teacher in order that the child
may early form the habit of drawing has him dra-,:v, the things
he is most familiar with—simple flowers, the toys that he
plays with, and the common animals that he sees ever;r day.
In these grades color is used for all drawings, and al-
though crude appeals to the child and makes all his work
appear more real and life -like.
In the upper grades is begun a more systematic train-
ing of eye and hand. The idea is to stimulate the observa-
tion of the pupil—first, by getting him to have a clear
knowledge of the thing to, be drawn; second, by a training
in judgment of correct relation of position and proportion;
and thirdly, by teaching him to select out of the details the
essential elements that mare it what it is.
Mechanical drawing is taught in all grades above the
fourth, and the accurate use of ruler and compass.
Christmas booklets are made from the fifth grade up.
This involves practice in lettering, study of painter and one
of his pictures, the writing of a composition and a proper
putting together of the whole.
In the High school we have mechanical and freehand
24
drawing, and marked interest characterizes this school and
the results are satisfactory.
In music it seems impossible to place too much import-
ance upon the work in the primary grades. The necessity
for careful instruction during the first three years of the
pupil's school life cannot be overestimated. For this rea-
son we have been doing a great deal of individual work.
The results are not so apparent now as they will be later on,
when these children become pupils in the more advanced
classes.
The work, in the ungraded schools is perhaps all that
one ought tot expect, for it seems impossible to make the
study of music entirely satisfactory in the outlying districts.
So many classes and so few in each, do not tend to, make
the children enthusiastic over their work. Singing is some-
what different from other studies in that the greater the
number who, take part the more pleasing the results, and the
fewer who take part the more noticeable the defects.
The supervisor reports an increased interest and much
improvement in the High school, with the hope that they
may continue as the year advances, and that the graduation
music may be the consummation of the results of the entire
course of the study of music.
SPECIAL TEACHER
It is a pleasant and constantly growing surprise to note
the excellent results produced by our special teacher for
those who, need extra help after absence from school, or who
for any reason have fallen behind the grade, or wish to ad-
vance more rapidly than the grade. These pupils need en-
couragement, they need personal attention and no, work is
more rewarding. Pupils who could read with the greatest
difficulty have been taught to react intelligently and wltt-i a
good degree of fluency. Arithmetic has been taken up with
equally good results and geography has received some at-
tention. This teacher also serves us as a substitute when a
teacher is absent, and as she is always available, her services
are very valuable.
PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST
It is a pleasure to record the fact that the speaking con-
tests have not been given up but rather are increasing in in-
terest as the third one between the schools of this district ap-
proaches. The preliminary contest for the year I9o8 was
given in the Town Hall on Feb. 12. A splendid prograin
of vocal and instrumental music vas interspersed with the
speaking, which added much to the interest of the evening's
entertainment. The winners were Roberta, Laurie, Natalie
Walker and Hallett Hodges. On March twelfth these con-
testants met at Sharon with the speakers selected from
Stoughton and Sharon at a similar preliminary contest, and
Miss Laurie and Master Mallett each worn second place. The
first places were given one to Stoughton and one to Sharon.
This is an improvement over the first contest, for in that
we Avon only one second prize, and if as great improvement
is made this year, we ought to retire with at least one first
prize. With this goal in view our speakers are putting forth
renewed effort under more favorable conditions, while their
rivals in Sharon are receiving training under a special teach-
er with a determination not tobe beaten.
PRIZE DRILL
The sixth. annual prize drill of the High School Cadets
was held on Friday night, April 24, in the Town Hall and
was considered the most brilliant -nd successful affair of its
kind ever held here. The hall was beautifully decorated.
26
with bunting and potted plants, and everything passed off
with military precision as befitted the occasion.
The young men were put through the most strenuous
exercise on the first round for thirty-five minutes, then fol-
lowed two more rounds with reduced numbers, and finally a
contest between two freshmen. After the whole company
had been recalled, Mr. French of the school committee gave
a very fitting address and presented the first prize to: Charles
Somers, the second to Hallett Hodges, and made. honorary
mention of Harold Fitts. Frank A. Mason was awarded
the freshman medal.
On May 20, 1cgo8, was held the first annual drill of the
High School Girl Cadets in the Town Hall. The affair was
largely attended. It consisted of setting tip, exercises and
drills without guns for nearly an hour, amid much applause
for the splendid work . done. Dressed in white, the girls
made 'a splendid appet.rance and proved the worth of their
training. The prizes were books given by the school coin-
wlttee. The first prize was awarded to Miss Florence
Booth, the second to Miss Natalie Walker, aid the third to
1lliss Ruth Parker.
GRADUATIONS
The graduating exercises of the Ninth Grade were held
in the Town Hall on June 24, 1go8, but instead of holding
thein in the afternoon as usual, they were held in the even-
ing, much to the gratification of the large audience who
were th:us enabled to attend.. -
Little did we realize that was to be the last class to grad -
tate under Mr. John H. Berr . He had y been elected for
another year to his position, and there was no intimation
that he would not return to carry on the work which he had
so successfully clone for many years. But after his return
to his home in New Hampshire, he, sent in his resignation,
and so ended this long and useful career in Mansfield.

JOHN H. BERRY
Mr. Berry graduated from Dartmouth College and be-
gan his teaching in Mansfield September 11, 1865, succeed-
ing Rev. Daniel W. Stevens, who in 1857 had opened a p,riv-
ate school in the basement of the Unitarian Church. John
H. Berry's school was at first on the second floor of the
building which is now commonly called A. V. Rogerson's
store, and subsequently he removed to the basement of the
old church. Mr. Berry continued his private school until
the town established a public high school in January, 1872.
At a,, special town meeting it was voted to, open a high school
during the winter vacation of the other schools in the old No.
4 school house, and the school was opened January 15, 1872,
tinder the management of Rev. A. F. Frost as principal. The
following year Mr. Berry was elected principal and contin-
ued until 1877, when he was succeeded by Mr. Frank M.
Copeland. He became principal of the Grammar school soon
after this and continued till June, 19o8, when he was suc-
ceeded by Mr. Irving C. Foss. Had he continued another
year he would have begun to teach the third generation of
his pupils. Who has the pen to record the influence exert-
ed in all these years? He had his faults, and who has not?
He had also, many strong points in his favor which will never
be forgotten. His school was his life. He never saved
himself if by any means he could further its interests. He
never knew when it was time to, close his school, and his
interest never flagged. Possessed of a splendid mind, he
knew what he wanted to teach and never stopped until he
had accomplished his purpose. The consuming fire was
within him and many a man will say that what he really
knows he owes to Mr. Berry.
He was a model of neatness. His register, his books,
his schoolroom, his schoolyard, were worthy the copy of any
28
teacher, and the amount of money he- has saved the town by
his watchful care will never be known.
Modest and retiring, it was difficult to get into his in-
ner life, but to those who could drawhim out he was good
company and genial.
Following are the programs of the graduation exercises
.and a list of Mr. Berry's last graduates.

MABEL IRENE NEWELL
Tonight as classmates we assemble
To say our last good-byes,
The parting is with sorrow
And the tears bedim our eyes.
Four years we have been together,
Watched over day by day
By kind and thoughtful teachers
Who have helped us on our way.
We have studied hard for the pleasure
Of standing here tonight
To thank teachers and parents
For these days of study bright.
We will miss our books and our places,
We'll miss our comrades, too;
But we must struggle onward
For we still have work to do.
As tonight we choose different pathwayi3,
And end our school days here,
We leave behind our schoolmates
And many memories dear.
Grave duties of life now confront us,
The way seems long and steep,
But when we win our laurels
We will lay them at His feet.
"Aim High" has been our motto,*
Aim high it will always be.
iBy aiming high we will conquer
Upon life's troubled sea.

THE. ARGONAUT
The enterprise which has been shown by the High school _
in issuing a monthly magazine is truly commendable. - It
has been nobly supported by advertisers and by the general
public, and is worthy of such support. It will be a welcome
visitor in the homes of those now connected with the school
and will receive a warmer welcome from' those who have
graduated and yet wish to keep in touch with what is being
done in high school. It will appeal to the voters of the
town, for they may now know at frequent intervals what use
is made of their money, and may we not hope that in due
time it will influence them to, provideadequate quarters for
what all must see is a growing and necessary work?

INDUSTRIAL EDGCATION
{)
In common with many other schools in the state, the
Ifl�
children in the grades are doing something along the line
of industrial education by the use of pegs and splints, paper
cutting, folding and pasting, use of the ruler in making box -
'es, bookmarks, calendars, etc., working a few articles in
i,
metal, mechanical drawing and designing. We have not
done what many have with the use of the knife, reed and Iii!
raffia work and other lines of manual training.
To increase our efficiency a movement has been started �II
to unite the towns of Walpole Wrentham, Foxboro, Mans-
field and Sharon for the establishment of an industrial
school under provisions made _by the State. These towns
iilif'
were invited to, meet in Foxboro. by representatives and to
get such information regarding the school as could be ob
�II'If
tained from the Sec'y of the State Commission. The tom-
mittees from these several towns met, discussed the natter
�I'I
and organized for future work.
A second meeting was called and another representa.tivu
from the State Commission wasp present. The company
it
first visited the building in Foxboro, where it was proposed
to establish the school, then repaired to the high school hall.
Here it was learned that Walpole and' Sharon had with
drawn from any - active part in the establishment of the
school, and Wrentham sent no representative, so the matter
�I
was left with the Foxboro and Mansfield committees.
The followingfacts were brought out. � With
� a school
of fifty or sixty pupils the cost per pupil for equipinent and
maintenance would be $ioo per year. The salary of a prin-
cipal would be $i5oo, and for two assistants $i000 each. The
li
I
(i l
36
course would consist of four years. The first year would
consist of pattern work and wood turning, mathematics and
English along shop, lines, everything bearing on shop work.
Drawing, freehand and mechanical.
For the second year more equipment would. he needed,.
so that the expense tzjouldnot be lessened. The third year
fore work might be taken up. and the expense for equip-
Z!)nnent for each one of the four years was estimated at from
$2000 to $-0oo. In to 'c�,,ns that pay as _n _ac -h for education
State as we do, the State bears onhalf the expense -of mainten-
ance, but not of equipiu ent.
The rental of the pl'ull,ii-ng including � lectrical power,
heat and floor space-v-,,Tas,giv-e-n at $i2o0, which seemed to.
some a prohibitive price.
The expenses per year then would be tinder this esti-
inate $3500 for teaching, $=,,00 for equipmei-t and supplies,
$1200 for rent for sixty bc13Ts.
It was suggested that something shoulri be -undertaken
for girls ur_der the head of domestic science, millinery and
dressmaking, which would add, to the er ps �nse, as it would re-
quire additional teachers.
As to, how the several towns should share the expense, it
was suggested that each town pay in proportion to the num-
ber of pupils; another r,vay in proportion to the county tax;
It was left with a committee 1-o canvass the towns to find out
how many pupils -were desirous of taking such a course. In -
our grammar school after an opportunity had been given
for consultation with parents, five candidates were found_
In the high school one candidate.. How many in the town
not in school, we have not yet ascertained.
That a thorough education along industrial lines pays
is proved by a canvass recently made of the alumni of the
Lowell Textile School, by which they are led to believe that
nearly 6o per cent. of the graduates from the clay classes :are
receiving a salary of over $l000 a year; 20 per cent. are
37
receiving $2000 and over, with some cases of $4000, $5000
.and $7000 salaries. The first graduate has not yet been out
from school ten ;rears.
Of i8o graduates from a technic2l school ten years ago,
-replies were recently received from 151 regarding their sal-
aries. Of these only two received less than $z000 per -
,rear; seven received between $io,000 and $20,000 and the
largest number were receiving between $1 Soo and $3000.
In Fitchburg, Mass., opportunity is knocking out the
partition between education and useful work. Henceforth
the high school students can go to school, learn a trade, and
earn apprentice wages, all at the same time. The Fitchburg
• schools and the Fitchburg mills have gone into partnership
to raise boys and girls in happy work and healthy thinking.
A class of thirty-tWivo began last October to draw a salary for
going to school.
Last October a school was opened in Northampton
_called Smith's Agricultural School and Northampton School
of Technology. It will provide training in agriculture with
a view, to, practical and profitable farming; in household
economy, with a i%iew to efficient and enjoyable housekeep-
ing; and in mechanic arts as either a foundation for desir-
able apprenticeships, in the cases of boys who, enter at four-
teen years of age. or as the preparation for the: work of jour-
neymen or foremen in the cases of students more mature.
Whatever a public industrial school of such breadth of cur-
riculum and of equal resources cin do, this new school will
-endeavor to do tov,, and making work more intelligent, better
directed and better done. Tuition in this school for pupils
from such, towns as Mansfield must be paid by the town in
which the student resides. The fee for each student will be
'$roo a school year.. One half of the sum paid by any town
will be repaid to that town by the state. Text -books are
free. Living expenses and transportation must be met ;by
the students or their parents.

FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
MUNICIPtiL LiG3TING BOARD
We hereby submit' to the citizens of the Town of
Mansfield our annual report as the Municipal Light
Board, the same being a report of the operation of the
plant for the year ending December 31, 1908.
At the annual town meeting held March, 1908, W. H.
Allen was elected to the board for the term ending in
1911. It was also voted that the sum of $4,000, together
with the receipts from the commercial business, be appro-
priated for the maintenance and the depreciation require-
ments for the year 1908.
The Board organized with W. H. Lyons as chairman
and D. C. Richardson as clerk.
The incomefor the past year shows but a small per-
centage of increase over the preceding year, and this was
mainly due to the business depression and the increasing
use of the new Tungsten lamps.
You will notice by a careful perusal of the appended
statements that a considerable unexpended balance is
shown. This is due to the fact that no large extensions
were made during the year.
Much has been said in regard to the cost of street
lights to the town and we have, therefore, included in the
4
report several different statements in which the cost is,
shown *in various forms.
The statement marked No. 8 is the one which shows.
the actual net cost of the lights to the town.
The other statements are inserted here iii order that
the citizens who seem to want to figure the cost in a dif-
ferent manner than has been shown by the department
may see the figures as they appear® We trust that these
figures will be taken to" represent just what they stand
for. We also trust that the citizens will understand that
the statement in which it is shown what the net cost was
Is the true cost of the lights to the town for the past year®
It will be noted that had the town, been buying it&
light from a private company at the average price as
shown, it would have cost $9,202.24, or $2,972.59 for
arcs and $6,229.65 for in can descents.
The department shows a steady increase in its com-
mercial business and there is no doubt but what it will
,continue to do so.
We sincerely believe that this department is a good
investment for the town. We know that the citizens are
receiving light for commercial and domestic use at a very
-reasonable figure, in view of the size of the town. We,
know that the service is good and that the streets are well
lighted.
The addition of new street lights adds a burden to the
fixed charges for their equipment and installation and en-
tails an unending expense for maintenance and operation.
It is a well known fact that once a light is erected it,
is almost impossible to have it discontinued.
The only appropriation which we shall ask for and,
recommend is for the depreciation, which is $3M0.

:s cash on hand in the various accounts should be de-
ducted, as the cash is still available.
The cost of the street lights figured at $9,100.00, the
.amount included in the tax levy, would be $90.09 for
.arcs and $18.02 for incan descents.
The cost figured at the net amount as shown above
$6,906.78, would be $68.38 for arcs and $13.67 for
incan descents.
The amount raised for sinking fund has not yet been
paid out but is in the hands of the S. F. Commissioners
.and is drawing interest.

You will rlote that the average price paid for are
lights which burn all night and every night is $95.89.1
The average price paid for incandescent lights which
barn on an average of six hours per night and an average
of about 27 nights per month, is $17;85.
The above figures are taker from the last annual re-
port of the Board of Gas and Electric Light Commission-
ers of Massachusetts,, and were complied by them from
sworn statements furnished by the various companies it,
the cities and towns quoted.
The cost to the town at the above average; figures for
a cs would have beem, $2,972.59, and $6,229.65 for in-
candescents.
It should be bone in mind, however, that only a very
few cities or towns F Massachusetts burn the incandes-
cent street lamps all ,right and every night. The average
price as shown for arcs is for lights which burn all nizn
ght
and every night, but the prices shown for incandescents
are for lights that burn on a moonlight schedule and for
an average of only si '. hours per night.
It is fair to as`ume that a reasonable price for an all .
night and every night '�.ight would be not less than $20.00,
and if the cost was figured at this price it would have
been $6,980.00. This added to the cost for arcs would
have made the total cost $9,952.59.
Another f,,ict which should be borne in mind is that a
private company operating the electric light plant would
charge the price shorn above, but further than that they
would not furnish current for commercial and domestic
purposes at the low sate which -is now in force. The
price would in- ai' probability be higher and no doubt
would not be Tower than 15 cents net for light and 6 cents
for power. These facts must be taken into consideration
9
when the net cost oC this department of the town is
considered.

The above figures show the actual net cost to the town
of the street lights. The average net price for ares is
$50.27 and foriDeandeseents $10.05.
These figures do not include maney appropriated for
sinking fund and bond payments, as they are not actually
a part of the cost of the lights for the year.
This nie6od of figuring the net cost of street lights
is the one adopted by the Board of Gas and Electric UZU
Commissioners and is considered the correct method by
accountants in general.
We would respectfully call your attention to the ap-
Pelid-O report of Manager George W. Wood, which
Shows the business and condition of the plant in detail.

TO THE MUNICIPAL LIGHTING BOArD OF THE TOWN OF
MANSFIELD, MASS.
GENTLEMEN: -1 bereby submit for your consider_
ati - on and approval the, 'report of' the business and
condition Of this plant for the fiscal year ending De-
cember 31, 1908.
The plant has' been Ope1'ated continuously day and
night without interruption during,nthe year, barring slight
mishaps of but a few minutes' duration.
The income, tOr light and power sold durino, the year
was $1,4670.56. This shows, un increase over last yeitr of
$1,469.26, or about 11 per cent.
An appropriation for street light extension was made
at the last town meeting, tho sum being $800. 11 e
amount necessary to install these lights on South Main
Street and «Vihow street, including a stipup trans fe, rmer,
ny at the station
which was ecessar L�
, was $854.50.
All the transformers and meters that were necessary
to take on new business during the year were purchased
and paid for out of the amount transferred from the
depreciation fund to be used for construction purposes.
The necessary work has been done on the lines to
keep them up to the highest standard and paid for out of it
maintenance.
The total number of incandesce,.nt street lights are li
349, there being two lights installed in the Common last
July, besides those installed on South Wain Street and,
Willow Street. I
The tungsten lamp that is being extensively installed
by the customers will tend to reduce the revenue for a
time. This lamp has the effect of reducing the rate to a
six cent basis. The benefit , derived atn the plant is
12
the reduction in load, Which means an increase in
-capacity which will enable us to take on more business
and at the same time have some reserve power.
'During the year a number of lines have been re-
arranged so that our total DUmber of transformers
installed is ODIY one more than last year. This is due to
the fact that a number of small transformers have been
taken off the line and secondaries extended from larger
units placed at central points.
We have added 35 custf,mers and 38 meters, also 17
horse power of motors.
I wish to thank the Board for their hearty support
and assistance during the year.
The following data and financial statements will show
the business and condition of the plant in. detail.
