It appears from a report of the Inspector for the State
Board of Charity, after a visit to the Mansfield Alms-
house, that it was found in a generally unsatisfactory con-
Aition and in need of general renovation.
This is a matter which we wish to call to your atten-
tion, as it will be necessary to have an appropriation to
carry out the requirements of the State Board.
The management of the Town Farm on anything like
a paying basis seems to be a problem not easily solved.
After some discussion on the matter your board thought
it wise to purchase a horse, which, with the one already
on the place, would make a pair that could be worked to
advantage off the farm.
Many towns own teams which are employed on the
highway, and we felt the same might be done here, but
for some reason very little town work was secured.
Your board is still of the opinion that a team should
be kept on the farm and employed by the Street Commis-
sioners.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
•
The Trustees of the Mansfield Public Library here-
with submit their annual report:
At the town meeting March 4, 1907, Mr. William A.
Copeland and Mr. William C. Fuller were re-elected
trustees for the term of three years. Mr. Charles R.
Comey, who had been elected by the Trustees to tempo-
rarily' fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. I. W.
Lucas, was also elected at the town meeting for the un -
,expired portion of the term of Mr. Lucas.
The Board organized by the choice of the following
-officers and committees:
President, William L. Robinson,
Secretary, William A. Copeland,
Treasurer, William C. Fuller.
STANDING COMMITTEES
Library and Librarian, William M. Macnair and Wil-
liam A. Copeland.
109
Library room, Charles R. Comey and William C,
Fuller.
Finance and Accounts, Frank L. Cady and William.
L. Robinson.
It bad been the practice previously to have the library
open only two days a week, namely, Tuesday evening and
Saturday afternoon and evening. The Trustees became
convinced that the public would be much better accom-
modated to have more frequent open days, and accord
ingly in April the Trustees voted to have the Library open
every week -day evening except Wednesday; also to have
it open on Saturday afternoon and to have it open on Sun-
day afternoon for reading purposes only. Experience
has shown that the public have appreciated the opportun-
ity for more frequent exchange of books. The patronage
of the reading room, however, on Sunday has been so
slight that the Trustees have considered it inexpedient to
continue the practice of Sunday opening, and it has,
therefore, been recently discontinued.
Diss Ida F. Hodges has continued to serve as Li-
brarian.
A set of andirons has been obtained for the fireplace
in the reading room to add to its attractiveness, and other
furnishings and improvements of various binds are in
preparation, which we believe , will prove of value when: -
completed. r
The magazines subscribed for during the last year
were Scribner's, Harper's Monthly, Youth's Companion,.
Scientific American, Outing, Success, Literary Digest,
Review of Reviews, World Today, Cosmopolitan and the
Outlook. Some changes in the list will probably be.
made this coming year.
i
110
The total circulation has been 13,908, of which 12,870
were fiction and 1,038 were new fiction of various classes.
The Library has been open 201 times during the year.
201 new books have been added during the year, mak-
ing the total number of volumes now in the Library
4,501.
Cards have been issued during the year to 177 new
patrons.
The Trustees recommend the same appropriation as
last year.
While the Treasurer's report as printed will show an
apparent surplus, this is due to the fact that some bills
which have already been contracted were not payable at
the end of the financial year for `which the report is made
up, but will be payable before the new appropriation will
be available. Therefore, while there is no apparent sur-
plus, there is no surplus in fact.

B- MENT PLAN
No. 2.—This buiIdin- of brick, finished. furnished and
ready for use, 59,000.00.
The first will have a capacity for 125 (with a possibil--
Ity of 150) pupils, that is an increase of about a thircl
over our present number, and will contain better class
rooms and improved facilities for carrying on the d.iffere
courses. The cost will be $53,000.
The second plan, and the one favored by the corn k -
tee, will cost $59,000. It is considerably larger than the
other and will. meet the needs of the town for some years
to come, as the smaller one would not if the town cohiffi.®
ues to increase at its present rate. This, from the p6lut
of view of economy, we think, should command due con-
sideration. The plans will be on exhibition for inspeo—
tion.
We wish to call your attention especially to the re --
port of the Superintendent on this subject.
The Committee wishes to thank the citizens and par-
ents for their co-operation and support during the year
and trust the same will continue.
Respectfully submitted,

While the number reported in December is less
-than in the previous year, we feel sure that the preva-
lence of contagious disease at this time is responsible
--for it. Another cause may be our shifting population,
as many change their residence to accommodate
-themselves to their work.
When the census was taken in the early fall there
-were found to be more children than there were a
-year ago. Our statistics also show a larger enroll-
ment, a larger average membership, a larger average
attendance, more attending school between five and
-fifteen, more over fifteen, more between seven and
fourteen. Being differently distributed, we have a
-larger number at the Green school. In the place of
thirty-five in the primary room there are forty-eight;
in the place of forty'one in the Gram -mar school there
-are fifty, or more than there are chairs to seat them.
There are no small schools in the Central build-
ing. Some are of proper size and some are too large,
.and especially is this true of the fifth grade. There
were too many in the third grade to place in one
.room at the Central, so a part were put in the same
,room as the second grade at the Town House. This
means a large fourth grade for next year.
At the Spaulding school there have been two
.,grades instead of three as last year. This
is has made
smaller schools but it was found necessary where
-there are so many children unable to speak or under-
stand the English language. The question of room

education in which one's knowledge touches a modern
language, geometry, algebra, chemistry, physics and
history, that a lad who does not take time to get at
least this much of knowledge says by that very fact
that he is more interested in getting a job than in
getting ready for it, and that that habit of mind will
go with him all through his business. He ` will care
more for drawing his wages than for earning them.
In social life any young man or wo.nan is today -
seriously handicapped without at least a high''schooll
knowledge of a modern language, history, and the
literary masterpieces. Such a person cannot under --
stand the common references and phrases in the con-
versation of the social life where well informedpeo-
ple congregate.
Could every high school pupil clearly realize how
much the success and happiness and worth -while -Hess
of the later years depend upon the manner in which
the opportunities of youth are improved or neglected,.,
no one would ever by asked to offer a word on the
value of a high school training.
The high school signifies to its students opportun-
ity. It means, first of all, opportunity for intellectual
and spiritual awakening; for - mental strength and
moral stamina; for the strengthening and unfolding -
of character; for the promotion of an intelligent and
earnest interest in life ; for the development of force
of will and energy of purpose ;` for the attainment of
general intelligence, all-round efficiency, power of in-
itiative, education, and skill which will dignify, adorn_
and ennoble every occupation and every station.
The modern high school, with its classical, aca-
demic, scientific, commercial and manual training
courses, offers the greatest 'possible opportunity for
culture and efficiency. It is no longer the school for
the few, but the school for the many --a real people's
college—a place where the whole boy may be sent to
school, or more exactly, where every boy may find
wholly what he needs to prepare him for modern life,
modern conditions and modern responsibilities. The
high school of today is not less efficient in the devel-
opment of mind and character than the high school of
twenty-five years ago, but, unlike the old-time school,
this is not its sole aim. The modern school has en-
larged and corrected the idea of culture, and by its
broader curriculum has brought an intellectual quick-
ening to a very large number who would never have
responded to the teaching subjects of the earlier,
school. It has opened a new door to intellectual and
moral progress, to skill and culture, for a class of stu-
dents who, with only the old` studies, would 'never
have known the advantages of scholarship.
The high school signifies also opportunity for
training. It means training for effective service and
for a right spirit in that service; for activity along lines
which connect with life in all its phases'; for indus-
trial, commercial, social, intellectual and moral effi-
ciency; for clear, definite and logical thinking and'
judging a training which develops' in the student alt,
32
-the powers of body, mind and soul, an ability to use
his hands skillfully, to observe accurately, to reason
justly, and to express himself clearly; a training
which transforms sensitive, fickle -minded. wilful boys
.and girls into self-controlled, self -directing, useful
members of society, capable of doing and thinking
.along right lines, and so relating their thoughts and
actions to society as to be a positive, vital, construe-
-tive force in modern thought and life.
Again the high school signifies to its students op-
-por'tunity for knowledge. It means a knowledge ` of
-the best things that have been said and done in all
-the world; a knowledge which opens the avenues of
-the soul to all that is best in music, art, literature and
science, of the accumulation of the ages. It means
that kind of knowledge which awakens, nourishes and
strengthens the finest sentiments of the soul; which
is ethically pure and eternally true, and . which quick-
ens the individual into the highest and richest spirit-
ual life'. The high school means opportunity for this
larger life and influence which such knowledge gives
to its possessor, and which makes him a power for
-righteousness in the world.
PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST
On January 16 the high school presented a fine
-programme by ten contestants, three of whom were
selected to compete with members of the high schools
,,of Sharon and Stoughton. These were Aurilla Myr-
33
tle Shepard, Harold Edward Fitts and Laurence Jo-
seph Jackson.
On March 20 three contestants from each of the
high schools of Stoughton, Sharon and Mansfield met
in the Mansfield Town Hall. and the first prizes were
carried off by Katheryn Dickerson Steele of Stough-
ton and Wilbur Stone Deming' of Sharon; second
prizes by Lillian Franklin Dong' of Sharon and Lau-
rence Joseph Jackson of Mansfield.
In the interscholastic Contest at Ni fedfield, between
schools of Mansfield, Needham, Franklin and Med-
field our school was represented by Aurilla Shepard
and Harold Fitts. Franklin and Needham carried off
the prizes while honorable mention was given to
Harold Fitts of Mansfield.
The benefit derived from these contests cannot be
overestimated. We have not been fortunate in gain-
ing many of the prizes, yet we have made a fair
showing and have gained much in confidence to stand
before a public audience with grace and ease and
ability, which have come from the exacting drills the
contests have required. Furthermore, it has added
to the school spirit not only in our own school but in
the other schools taking part, as was witnessed by
the large number of visitors from out of town when
the three schools in the district were contesting.
This feature of our work will be continued this
year, and already preparation are being made for the -
preliminary' contest in Mansfield.
We trust that when the three schools have their-

speaking in Sharon, Our citizens will show their inter-
est by attending in large numbers, and thus recipro-
cate the kind feeling of our visitors of last year.
We are continuing to send out of , our grammar
and high school large classes. Of the three hundred
forty-four graduates of the high school, two hundred
and thirteen have graduated since my connection with
the Mansfield schools, or nearly two-thirds. Many of
them are filling honorable positions ; 'many are now
fitting themselves for greater usefulness in the higher.
institutions of learning ; few of them have brought
dishonor either upon themselves or the school. In
places of business and professional life they are `filling
positions which they would have been unable to fill
had it not been for the start given them in the Mans-
field schools., and we are sure we still have the sup-
port of our citizenship in giving to those now prepar-
ing for life's work, and to those who are to come after
even better than their predecessors enjoyed.

Together we assemble here
To say our sad farewells,
But let us Hope that in each heart
Some spark of gladness dwells.
For well do we remember
All the happy days gone by;
And 'twill cheer us on to victory
When we have said good -b3 e.
For long we studied, hard we worked
To stand with these tonight,
Thereby to gain some richer palms
And make our future bright.
The memory of our teachers
We shall ever cherish dear.
They have helped us in our efforts
And have guided us each year.
If shadows or reverses
In our future pathway lie,
Oh, may we struggle onward,
And our aim be ever high.
We've gone through many trials
And have always conquered, too,
As in all the great temptations
We shall ever hope to do.

TEACHERS
We have made two chan(}es in the high school
assistants, Miss Minnie Jackson taking the placelof
Miss McMillan and Miss Emilie Goodale the place 'of
Miss Hunt. There have been changes in all of our
Outlying schools and sometimes more than one, but
these teachers have not been all lost to us, for some
have been retained in the Center schools. These
changes are hard to make for two reasons : one be-
cause it is so difficult to convince' parents that it is
necessary to take a good teacher away from them, and
another because it is so difficult to get the right kind
of teacher who is willing to take a school of many
grades. This condition is growing worse from year
to year, as other positiolis offer greater financial re-
turns and the richer towns are offering larger salarlQs
to successful teachers. I wish at this point to express
our heartfelt appreciation of the earnest efforts which
our teachers have put forth, often under discouraging
,conditions, to raise the standard of our schools and to.
give more than an equivalent for what they receive.
This is shown in the extra hours given, in their alert-
iiess to improve the good impressions which every
holiday should bring, in their eagerness to pick up
new ideas by visiting and reading, and especially on
the part of some who have given unstintedly of their
time and strength to get pictures for the school -rooms.
These efforts have been seconded by a generous pub -
43
lic 'and will be appreciated by many children who will
occupy the school -rooms in days to come.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
MR. E. P. FITTS, Superintendent of Schools
Dear Sir,—I take pleasure in submitting to `you my
report of the work in drawing.
The work during the past year has been carried on to
a great extent along the same lines as that of last year.
During the fall term work was done in crayon and water
,color, painting fruit, flowers and vegetables the theory of
-color was studied and some applications made, and as all.
working sketches, map drawings and mechanical drawings
require good lettering, script titles upon them being out
-of keeping, this subject was taught throughout the gram-
fmar grades.
45
One artist and picture were studied in each grade. A_
Christmas book, containing title page and a short account
of the life of the artist and picture, was made. Poxes,
baskets, Christmas cards and calendars of various kinds
were also made.
The work of the winter and spring consisted of ob-
ject drawing, construction work and the study, of design
in balance and rhythm, worked out in tones of grey or
waver colors.
The attitude of both pupils and teachers to the work_
during the past year has been very gratifying, and as a
result there has been a steady improvement in the work-
in all grades.
At the close of the spring term an exhibition of the
work done during the year was hung in each room.
The work in the high school is progressing as favorably
as conditions and. the time given to the work will permit.
Again, I would draw the attention of the Committee to
the inadequate time given to the work, and hope that they
may soon be able to arrange so that more time may be
given.
I.wish to thank the Committee and Superintendent for
the generous supply of material furnished the schools this
year to carry on the work, and the teachers for their -
hearty co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY A.. PREVOST.
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF, Music
Mr. E. P. FITTS, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir—In the primary grades we have been pay-
ing more attention than ever before to the rhythmical de__
s
46
velopme'nt of measures. It is very necessary that the
first principles of rhythm be carefully taught during the
first and second years of the child's school life. Many
children have no natural idea of tune and many more
have no mural ability in rhythm, and as these must be
developed early in life, if developed at all, it becomes
necessary to pay much attention to them during the earli-
est ;part of the school life.
Ear training has also been receiving special attention.,
and the results are being seers in all the schools from the
primary to the upper grades. Unless the child is early
trained to detect inaccuracy in tones, untuneful singing
trust result; but with daily ear training exercises, the
child soon becomes able to sing in tune himself, and to
detect when others are not doing so. I am pleased to re-
port that all the schools are now singing in much better
tune than before using these exercises.
X new rote song book has just been introduced.. 'Are
hope this will help to awaken a musical tendency' in''chil-
dren who have very little in their homes to bring out the
musical nature. This book will be especially helpful to
first grade teachers, as it is intended to accompany chart
A. The Harmonic Music Reader has also been placed in
many of the schools. These we believe are much better
adapted to the work than those formerly in use.
Those who heard the graduating exercises of the gram-
mar schools last June, must have perceived a marked
improvement in the quality of tone, in the manner of
attack, and in the blending of the voices.
While the music in the high school is not all that I de-
sire it to be, yet, perhaps it is all that one ought to ex-
pect considering the length of the music period. Thirty
minutes a week is not sufficient time to develop the voices
47
and to produce the best results in pupils of the age of the
high school scholars.
In the high school we reach the consummation of years of
study. Not all the pupils will have become good singers ;
this is not possible, but all should have laid the founda-
tion for whatever of further study they may desire to take
up along musical lines. Music is not for the few, but for
all the boys and girl's, and it has been our object to give
all an equal chance. Unmusical children crust be given.
special time and attertion, and when we consider that
from the first grade to the hicrh school, we have been try-
ing to develop the highest and best musically in each
child, I think we may well be satistied with the results of
the year's work.
Respectfully submitted,
J. E. SHEPARvsoN.
There are many things which we would like to see
incorporated in our school work which we are not
now able to do on account of want of time, facilities
and teachirra°' force. ' We trust that our new effort to
help those who are deficient for any reason' may meet
with success and that time may be saved for those
who are able to do more than the regular work.'
Industrial Education is corning to the front and
will have to be met. The Tiffany Industrial Cabinet
just purchased is one step toward meeting this de-
mand. "ichool gardens ought to receive more atten-
tion, especially in a community like our 'own, where
land is plenty. Sewing should be taught, not as now
by private enterprise, but as a regular part of the
:school work. Physical culture is receiving some at-
M
tention. We cannot have the obody too ` well cared
for.
For the interest which the Woman's Club has
taken in calling attention to the intimate relation be-
tween the home and the school, our gratitude is most
heartily expressed. We wish more parents would
acquaint themselves more carefully with what the
schools are trying to do and how they are trying to
do it. Many misunderstandings would vanish and
right conditions for advancement would be established.
To all who have interested themselves in the best -
welfare of the children, and especially to you who
have had the special care of the schools, our thanks
are sincerely given.
Respectfully submitted;
