r annual report:
town meeting March 5, 1906, Mr. William M.

rilliarn C. Mills, whose term had expired. Mr.

been a member of the Board when it was first
in 1884, and having continued in service until
was gladly welcomed back to the Board by
ers, some of whom had previously served
)ut his ill health prevented his attending many
ings after his re-election last March. Mr. Lucas
,r 26, 1906, and'the trustees subsequently elect-
-les R. Corney to fill the vacancy.

Miss Ida F. Hodges was re-elected Librarian and
Charles M. Hardon was re-elected assistant.
During the summer the Library was newly catalog
under the card index system by Miss Caroline M. Wil
son of Watertown, and Miss Ethel A. Fitts of ,Mansf
both of whom were students of Simmons College; Bos
taking the special library course at that institution,
were well qualified to thoroughly do the work. They N
.assisted in the work by Miss Hodges, the Librarian.
Under the card system the subject -matter of the be
is 'fully indexed, and thereby it is a great convenient(
people who desire to study up any particular subject.
usefulness of this system has been proven by the fact
the circulation of non-fiction. has doubled since the
system went into effect.
The open stack system has been adopted experiments
that is, the patrons of the Library are now allowed ac
to the shelves to examine the books. This is in some
spects a great convenience to the patrons, as they are
to determine by inspection something about the charac
of the book which they contemplate taking out for ho'
use, and can therefore better judge whether the book
what they desire. In some respects this privilege is
ductive' of inconvenience not only to the Librarian but
,other patrons of the Library, because frequently those
take the books from the shelves for temporary examinat„„
put them back in the wrong place on the shelf, and as

REMARKS
The Committee recommends that the town grant the fol-
lowing sums of money for the expense of maintaining the
schools for the ensuing year:
General school fund and transportation, $19,000 00
Superintendent of Schools, 660 00
Balance carried from 1906, State aid on account of Su-
perintendent, Dog Fund and Tuitions.
There are a few things in especial to'which we wish tio.
call attention -in our expenditures. The first is the thor-
ough renovation of the interior of the CentraJ and Green
schools. -which have had ceilings kalsomined, sidewalls
painted and woodwork and desks varnished, so that now
all of the schools are in good condition
NATe have installed flush closets in the basement of the
Town House school, a much needed improvement from a
sanitary point of view.
The subject of salaries for the teachers is not a new- one.
It is -whether we shall retain our good teachers and keep
the schools -up to the highest standard of work, or whether
for the lack of the difference in salary, we shall allow them
to be taken from us and have to fill their places with teach-
ers w—o may- or may not take -up the work successfully.
To this end we have slightly increased the salaries in,
most of the graded schools.
The fact that -we have lost only one teacher in the.
grades since the increase would show that this is a step in
the right direction.
Another subject which is again confronting us is that of
more room for the lower grades. The rooms now used by
the High School are needed by them.
This necessitates a new building for the High School;

This necessitates a new building for the High School;
and from the standpoint of the High School as well, a new-
b=uilding is imperative if the school is to develop normally
and :meet the demands made upon it.
There is need of better laboratory arrangements. The
present laboratory, which is used for Chemistry and.
Physics and also for some work in Physiology and Botany,
is inadequate, especially for the Physics department. It
has to be used also as a recitation room for the greater part
Of the day, for which purpose it is riot well adapted.
The demands made upon the school in preparing for col-
lege and at the same time maintaining a business course,
make it necessary to strengthen some courses, which will
-require the services of a fourth assistant teacher. The
course in German should be increased at least to two years.
The business course, which at present receives but two
periods per week, should be given at least four or five in or-
der to make it of practical value. Such needed improve-
ments are impossible under the present conditions.
Attention is called to the report of the Superintendent .

We close the year with a much larger number of puhils
than at the close of the previous year. Dur;ng the whole
�
year we have not lacked for pupils. So great was the pres-
sure in the Central school that we were obliged to ask many
who live on the west side of Rumford River to go to the
Green school, although their preference .was to attend the
Central school because more easily reached from their
homes, and they had attended there while there was room
I
to accommodate them.
This change relieved the situation somewhat, but now
the schools are too large at the Central. The smallest room
is filled to its utmost capacity and the largest room' has I
1�
24
been overflowing with sixty-nineupi
p Is enrolled. The only
School in this building which approaches a suitable number
is the third grade, which now has forbY-three, and this num-
ber has been obtained by having three grades at the Spaul-
ding school, making fifteen more pupils in attendance there -
than was the number a year ago w- -h two grades only.
The first grade at the Spaulding school is so large at pres-
ent that the prospect is that it will be necessary to return_
totwo gr. ,des in that building next year and have three
CD
"
grades at the own Hall similar to the arrangement at the
D I
SpauldVag school this year.
Formerly we have relieved the situation at the Green
school by transferring a small tipper grade to the Central
school, so as to 'Leave but seven grades in that building,
This year we have no -rade s-_,-nall enough to be accommo-
dated at the Central, and there seems to be tic, way but to,
return to three grades in the primary room at the Green
school. By making these changes there will be room for
0 1
all pupils, but extra work will be placed upon the teachers,
and our -ideal of one grade to a room will be put off into the,
dim future.
With such an extraordinarily large ninth grade the High
school must receive a much larger class than usual, though
,doubtless some will f;.A.11 by the way before reaching the
goal.
Some important changes have been made in our course
of study, notably the introduction of Latin into the ninth"
grade, thus giving those who desire to take this course in.
the High school an added year of preparation to meet the -
requirements for college entrance. It will also be of advan-
tage to those who take it and find that they have no adapt-
ability for the subject to choose a different course when.
they, enter the High ecbool.
Oftentimes the school does as much for a pupil by show-
ing him what he is not fitted' for as for the business he can
do well. In our work in stenography we feel that we have -
25
done much for a pupil if we have showed him that he can
never make a stenographer, and thus save him his time and
Z�l 1
money by not attempting to take a course along these lines -
in a business college.
In the High school, elementary science has been intro-
duced into the freshman class, in order to lav abetter foun-
dation for the sciences which follow. We predict that this
will make the subjects more easily understood and the
progress commensurate. Now we require Physics and
Chemistry in the junior and senior classes where formerly
1 is arrangement 1 y
they were optional. By thi ent *t vT,'Il be readily
seen that the scientific course has been greatly strengthened.
The course in modern languages has been improved b -v
adding a full year in French and placing German as an op-
tional study in the General Course.
Stenography and Typewriting are confined str-ictly, to
Z_
the Business Cott*se. We recommend that all parents, who
have children intending to enter the High school, become it
familiar with 'these courses in the ninth grade and High
school so as' to choose to the best advantage whether a
,general, scientific or -business course is desired.
In the grades an entire change of aritlametics has been
made throughout the to-\A7n and the new clean books are
greatly appreciated. The physiologies have been changed in
Z.)
ninth grade. The old books have been used for about
twenty years, and during that time marked changes have
been made in the teaching of this subject and new books
are greatly needed. We recommend that the change be
made still further in the other grades as the funds at your
disposal will admit.
Our hearts have also been gladdened by the purchase of
new reading matter which was never so attractively pre-
pared as at the present time.
In the High school the texts have been changed in phys-
ics, chemistry and algebra, and a new text introduced for
the elementary science.

" PRIZE SPEARING CONTEST
This contest, the preparation of which was started by
Mr. Frost, was held in the Town Hall_ on March 23, 1906,
under the supervision of Mr. Hadlock. The first place
was awarded to Walter L. Waterman and Lenore B.
:Stearns, and the second to Harold E. Fitts and Mabel I.
Newell. This contest was well patronized by our citizens
.and the proceeds were used in furnishing special instruction
in Boston to the two winning first place. These two had a
final contest on the 27th of April with pupils from the High
schools of Woonsocket Medway, Medfield and. Norwood.
In this contest Woonsocket won two points, Medway one,
and Medfield one.
With renewed interest, publie speaking has been taken
-up this year, and the contest which is to take place in the
near future in the Town Hall promises to be mach better
than last year, as more zeal and more labor have been put
into the work. The final contest will not be participated
in l)y so many schools but will be confined to the schools
in this district, including Mansfield, Sharon and Stoughton,
.and the date set is March 20, 1907, in the Town Hall, Mans-
field. We bespeak the hearty support of all interested in
this most important branch of one's education.
COLLEGE CERTIFICATES
The certificating privilege was granted to our High
-school. by the N. E. Board a year ago but no one took ad-
vantage of its benefits. The privilege was renewed this
year and three were admitted to college without examina-
tion other than that given in our High school. Harriet
Buck went to Brown University and Chester Comey and
Everett Robinson to DartmouthCollege. These students
are all doing well, and we now have hopes that instead _of
granting the privilege for one year we may have it granted
for three years.

It is a source of great pleasure and pride that ten of
the fourteen, who graduated last lune are now pursuing
studies in institutions of learning.
Following will be found the programs of the graduating
exercises of both the Grammar and High. school, also the
names of the graduates, together with the names of the
High schoo lgraduates of 1905, a complete list of whom

TEACHERS
Often we have lamented the changes in teachers which
-we have been obliged to mane 'because our salaries have
been so inadequate to compete with the inducements of-
-fered by other cities and towns. This year, by raising our
salaries even by a small amount, we know that we have
been enabled to retain teachers who otherwise would have
left us.
Last spring the principal of our High school .was called
to a superintendency in Georgetown. His place was filled
by Mr. Fred H. Hadlock of Northboro, who has spared no
-pains, to raise the standard of the school. At the begin-
ning of the fall term Miss Ethel C. Sargent began her work
as assistant in the High school, These changes, and two
in the grades which we could not control because of illness
.and by the position obtained where salary was not the only
consideration, have been the only ones which have affected
the work of the year. At the very close of the yea we
are called upon to part with Miss Lillian G. Hunter, who
has served us most faithfully, and goes to New Bedford to
a much more lucrative position. Her place has been filled
by the transfer of Miss Agnes Blake from the Hall school,
who in turn i§ succeeded by one of the graduates of our
High school, Miss N. Frances Bayley. It is too much to
,expect of an ambitious teacher that she will refuse to
change from a small ungraded school to a graded school.
Our policy has been to get for all our schools the best
the 'market affords for the price we can pay. Somet.ir�-ties
we find young teachers of exceptional ability who.
after they, have gained succesful'experience, refuse to be
.considered as candidates for re-election even when they,
have no other place in view. This they can well ra,fford to
-do, for in these days such teachers are in so great demand
they have to wait only a little while to be called Mto the
finest positions.
37
It is this kind that we like to transfer into our own
graded schools to receive the benefit of the experience
which others are so willing to pay for and which we believe
rightfully belongs to the town which gave the chance for
the experience

"SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
No town of my acquaintance has so promptly complied
with the new law requiring the school committee to employ
a school physician, nor doI know of: a town which has
-reaped greater benefits so quickly. Every citizen ought to
support him in every endeavor which he makes to enforce
,old laws and to comply with the law made when the act
was passed under which he labors.
Some of these laws are that the physician shall make
a prompt examination and diagnosis of all children re-
ferred to him as provided in the law, and'such further ex-
amination of teachers, janitors and school buildings as in
his opinion the protection of the health of the pupils may
require.
The School Committee shall cause notice of the disease or
defects, if any, from which any child is found to be suffer-
ing to be sent to his parents or guardian. Whenever a
child shows symptoms of small -pox, scarlet fever, measles,
chicken -pox, tuberculosis, diphtheria or influenza, tonsili-
tis, whooping cough, mumps, scabies or trachoma, he shall
be sent home; immediately or as soon as a safe and proper
conveyance can be found, and the Board of Health shall at
once be notified. Once every year the teachers are required
to examine each child separately to ascertain whether he is
suffering from defective sight or hearing, or from any other
disability tending to prevent his receiving the full benefit
of his school work.
Followin,; is the result of the examination as given by
cur teachers:

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
874-
166,
47
146
Mr. E. P. FITTS, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir,—I submit with pleasure the following report
of the work in drawing:
The general plan of the work in drawing is being carried_
out along the. same lines as those followed last year, namely:
Nature Study, Color and Representation, Constructive
Drawing and Design. The aim of the work in all grades
has been "to teach seeing, doing and knowing.'' Drawing
ought to cultivate the hand and eyes and increase the knowl-
edge of the subject represented. The purpose of the work
in Nature Study and Color, and Representation, is to train
pupils to habits of accurate observation and to give them_
a knowledge of nature; by means of Constructive Drawing
he acquires a desire for neatness and good construction, and
the power of being able to judge for himself, and in Design-
ing he is helped to cultivate orderliness, a refined taste in
the selection of the beautiful and the power to create.
In the work done during the past year Ihave been able
to see a gradual but steady improvement in the work from
month to month. I hope that this will continue so that we
shall be able to show progress along all lines.
Again I wouid like to call the attention of the Commit-
tee to the inadequate time given to 'drawing in the High
school. This year only pupils of the freshman class are
taking drawing, as it was found impossible to carry on two
or three different lines of work in the short time at our. dis-
-oosal. I hope that the Committee may be able to arrange
so that more time may be given to this part of the work.
I -wish to express my appreciation of the interest taken
by yourself and Committee in the work, and also of the
hearty co-operation of the teachers.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY A. PREVOST.
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Mr E. P. FITTS, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir,—It gives me pleasure to again report progress
in all the lines of musical work in, the 'schools. The day is
-past since musical instruction was an experiment. It now
has an assured place in the curriculum of the public schools.
Any study which develops the mind of the pupil has a right
-to an important place in public school work; and educators
have come t0 see that the study of music not only develops
-the musical faculty and trains the ear, but it develops the
mind as well. It not only trains the mind along musical
-lines, but it is an invaluable help along other lines of study.
Take, for instance, the matter of reading. Every boy and
girl should become a much better reader because of the
study of music. The pronunciation of words and the artic-
ulation of letters must of necessity be much improved by a
thorough training of the ear. Then again, accuracy is a
thing which is developed by this study. The child's ear
.and eye and voice are all trained to the most delicate sense
-of exactness as the musical sense is developed. And this
-nice sense of accuracy will not exist for music alone: it
-should tone the whole character of the child's work. I be-
lieve a careful. examination will show that the boys and
.girls of Mansfield have been greatly benefited along. all
these lines by the study of school music.
I am glad to report that the new Laurel Music Reader
has been placed in the ninth grade, and that it has met with
the heartiest reception from all the pupils. It is a very
pleasing book, and boys and girls always take an added in-
terest in music wherever it is used.
{
40
I wish to advise the introduction of the Harmonic Music
Reader in all the grades below the ninth. This is a revised.:
edition of the Natural Music Reader, the book now in use;..
c' but it is full of new things and is a great improvement over
the old book.
All the schools are doing good work, but the lower grades
deserve special mention.
Every child who enters the public schools should be in
fluenced by the study of music. This can only be accom-
plished by strict rules and by an impartial carrying out of
the same. Children who do not wish to sing must be made
to sing, and the very few who cannot sing must be made
to study the music just as systematically as the others.
Then in later life, if such a pupil desires to study instru-
mental music he has the foundation well laid because of his
musical instruction iu childhood. This is the aim of mu--
sical instruction in public schools: to lay the foundation so
carefully and thoroughly and well that the child's whole
future life is influenced thereby,
Respectfully submitted,
J. E. SHEPARDSON'
Supervisor of Music...
No report can more than touch upon a few of the events
of the year which have taken place. The results will not
be fully known till the ages have rolled away.
We have tried to do efficient work; we have endeavored_
to make the days passed in study joyful ones for the chil-
dren to remember. We have endeavored to keep in mind _
that an education without character is a dangerous tool;
that book -learning without health is almost useless.
In'our many-sided efforts we most gratefully remember
your hearty co-operation, the harmony which has existed,
the many hours of unpaid labor which you have expended, .
and the cordial expressions of satisfaction in the results .-
which have been obtained.
41
We wish also to acknowledge our indebtedness to the,
citizens of the town who have so generously provided 'us.
with funds to keep our buildings in sanitary condition and
to retain so high a grade of teachers with abundant mate-
rial with which to work.
Respectfully submitted,

TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF MANSFIELD, MASS.
We hereby submit to the voters of the Town of Mans-
field our third annual report as the Municipal Light Board,
the same being a report of the operation of the plant for
�I
the year ending December 31, 1906.
At the annual town meeting held March 5, 1906, Mr. D. II
C. Richardson was re-elected a member of this Board for
the term ending in 1909. The Board organized with W.
H. Lyons as chairman and D. C. Richardson, clerk.
At the annual town meeting the sum of $4,000 was ap-
propriated
to provide for the maintenance and depreciation
requirements for the year 1906. It was also voted to issue
bonds to the amount~ of $30,000 said sum. to be used for
the extensions to the plant, which were deemed necssary in
order to take care of the increasing business of this de-
partment.
e partment,
Early in the summer contracts were made for a 225 H.
P. generating unit consisting of a 225 H. P. American
Diesal Oil Engine, direct connected to a 160 Kilowatt Fort-
Wayne
ortWayne Alternator, operating two-phase; also the necessary
i
Air Compressor and Exciter for their operation. An entire
new switchboard was also purchased.

the southerly end of the old building and adjoining the
same.
Owing to unaccountable delays which could not have
.been avoided, the engine was not shipped or delivered in
time to be in readiness to take care of the load this winter. J
I
The engine is in the station and partly set; xp at this,
time, and will in all probability be put into operation about
February 1st.
Owing to the failure of the engine to arrive, it has been
necessary at times to discontinue some of the circuits dur-
ing the heaviest part of the load and has caused some incon-
venience to our customers. This trouble will be remedied
as soon as the new unit is put into operation.
We feel assured that when the new equipment is put
into complete operation that the service will be greatly im-
proved and the citizens will get even better service than
they have in the past.
The lines have been rearranged and extended, new cus-
tomers have been connected, new arc and incandescent
street lights installed, and the general condition of the
plant kept up to its highest point of efficiency. A new
power circuit is to be erected at once in order to properly
take care of this part of the business.
The business for the year has shown a steady ` increase
and there is every prospect Of its continuing to do so.
We respectfully refer you to the appended report of the
Manager, Mr. George W. Wood, who assumed charge in
June, upon the resignation of J. E. Arthur at that time.
In his report you will find the business of the plant for the
year in detail, together with a detailed statement of the
condition of the plant at the close of the fiscal year.
Owing to the extremely high prices of materials at the
present time we recommend that no extensions for street
lighting be asked for at present.
the year 1907.
We wish to thank the citizens for their continued hearty
,co-operation during the year, and trust that with continued
-careful attention to detail our efforts will meet with their
.approval.
W. H. LYONS,
D. C. RICHARDSON,
Municipal Lighting Board.
Mansfield, Mass., January 1,1907.
'TO THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD Or THE TOWN OF
MANSFIELD, MASS.:
Gentlemen, -1 hereby submit for your consideration and
approval the report of the business and financial condition
of this plant for the ;year ending December 31, 1906:
I 'assumed charge of this plant in June, 1906, and found
the general conditions to be good.
The business has shown a steady increase for the entire
year and new business was added in anticipation' of the in-
stallation of a' new generating unit, and it is with much re-
gret that I state that it has not been possible to successfully
-take care of all ' the load during the time when service is
required.
It has been necessary to cut off part of the commercial
-power and street lights during the heaviest part of the l
for a short time, and has inconvenienced some of the cus-
tomers, but taken altogether the service has been reasona-
bly steady and the plant has been successfully operated.
The income for light' and power sold for the year was
-$10,316,59, which is an increase of $3,519.95, or about 50
-per cent, o ✓er last year.
d is occasioned
The cost of maintenance is rather high an
6
by the fact that the lines have been greatly rearranged and,
improved, in some cases one new wire being addedin order
that the load might be properly balanced. These changes,
together with the necessary repairs which are always made
in order to keep up this most essential part of the" plant,
were done at quite a large expense.
New appliances for use in the station have been pur-
chased and their cost charged to maintenance Repairs to
the engines have been larger than usual, owing to the fact
that a large number of repair parts are now carried in stock,
in order that there may be no delay when they are needed.
There have been four new arc and thirty-five incandes-
cent lights installed and put into operation, making the
total number of street lights now in operation 30 arcs and
three hundred and fifty-five incandescents. The lights:
have been operated all night and every night 'during the
year.
The cost to the town for street lights, as shown in the
accompanying' statement, was $57.85 for arcs and $11.57
for incandescents.
It should be borne in mind that of the total charge for
interest, the sum of $900 was paid on the issue of '$30,000
made in April, 1906, from which no benefit has as yet been
derived, therefore deducting this amount from the total
cost as shown, makes the net cost of arcs $48.90' and incan-
descents $9.78,
The erection of a new switchboard will- greatly facilitate
the handting of the different circuits, and the recording in-
struments which have been installed thereon will make it
possible to accurately measure the output for the different
kinds of service. These records will also make it possible
to keep the line losses down to a minimum by detecting
-undue leakages promptly.
The prospect for new business is very promising, and
with the new unit in complete operation the service will be
greatly improved and business taken at an advantage to
both the customer and the plant.
A complete line of wiring supplies is now carried at the
station for the convenience of the customers and is sold and
installed: at a reasonable price.
I wish to thank the members of the Board for their
hearty support and assistance during my term of office.
The following data and financial statements will show the
business in detail.
