The bridge at Chauncy street, near depot, is in bad con- dition ; and while your Cominissioners consider it safe for the present, they recommend that a new one be built either of stone, iron. or wood ; there is no doubt but what wooden bridges are very expensive in the long run.. There has been Maid out in two ,years on this bridge $104. There is a great amount of travel over it, and for that reason a good bridge with concrete road -bed shold false u the place of wood. _Arrangements have been made with the Boston Bridge Co., of Cambridge, for drawing and estimate of an iron bridge with a concrete road -bed; and it will be on exhibi- tion at the annual town meeting. The estimate will be for bridge 40 feet wide, the width of the road. There are two snow plows at L. R. Ding's, two at lV rreri Wilson's and one at J. R. Cobb's.

We have in a-11 our schools teachers well fitted for the positions they hold, Several of them are well known to you by their long term of service, their untiring devotion' to their M 10 work, and the energy they have put forth in the care and instruction of their schools. Superintendent Edward P. Fitts has kept faith- fully at his post, and his painstaking labors are of great value to our schools in ninny ways. During tho past year we found it necessary A. make several changes in order to bring our schools in- to line. Some of these changes were thought to be uncalled for, and the Board were accused of being unnecessarily arbitrary in making them. We have great respect for those who have differed with us, and have not intended to disregard the indi- vidual interests nor abridge the rights of any one. Our regret is that we were not able to fully satisfy the demands of everybody. In many cases it has been disagreeable and very painful to deny requests which we 'did not believe to be compatible, with the best good of our schools. e, cannot but express our gratitude to those who have kindly and readily, -acceded to the decisions of the committee . S? To keep abreast with the work of today is no re - 3 I flection' on the work of the past. The following couplet is appropriate to the sen- timents of -your committee: "Be not the first by whom the new is tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside." It has not been our policy to adopt `the latest new fad." But when certain ways have grown into disuse and a have been abandoned by all intelligent, enterprising people, it is time to "get out of the old ruts." The beneficial effects resulting from. the improve- ments already made suggest the desirableness of ma- ny others, some of which we recommend' for favor- able consideration. For several years the High School has hired a piano at its own expense.... It is now engaged in raising funds for a school library. The Committee, who deme these efforts wor- thy y Of encouragement, recommend that some pro- vision be made to aid them We hope, at least, that the town will appropriate $00 for the purchase of a piano. A granite curbing should be biilt on the street boundary of the Central school lot, as a reminder that teams should not drive over the school house grounds. In We call your attention to the condition of the Greea school building. ` ` This is a fine three room building ; and it is a very surprising fact that no pro- vision was made for proper heating and ventilation. There are forcible objections to heating these rooms with stoves as they are now used. The building was visited by a member of your committee in company with the state inspector, who found that there was a variation of about thirty de- grees in temperature between the seat next to the stove and the one on the opposite side of the room. Of course the pupils sitting 'nearest to the stove 12 f are being slowly scorched while the more remote are { thoroughly chilled. We are quite sure if the parent.,, would spend even a day at school subjected to these discomforts, they would be anxious to remedy them immediately. We submit the case to the town, hoping that a committee will be appointed to adopt some well considered economical plan for heating and ventilating this build- ing, and that the be instructed to have this work done during the summer. We have often been reminded that the frequent changes of teachers in our outside schools is adverse to the success of -those schools. We acknowledge that our schools suffer some in this respect, and that it would be better for the schools if the services of good teachers could be continued from term to term and from year to year. Why they are not thus re- tained is no secret. Good teachers having the indis- pensable qualification—experience—will not accept 4 a position in the outside schools. There is no trouble" in obtaining teachers who have the ability and training, and many of 'them the natural aptness for 'teaching, but no one who- excels in the capacity as a teacher can be retained in these outside schools. They must be either speedily pro- moted or they will find more desirable positions in other towns. A mistaken notion prevails that the remedy lies in an increase in the teachers' salaries. Salary is not the only consideration; the unattrac- tive school -room, the difficulty in finding boarding 13 places, or the inconvenience in getting to and froni their schools, are evident reasons why successful teachers cannot be long retained. And this brings us to suggest that it would' be a practical move to erect a convenient building located near the R. R. station at 'Vest Mansfield, where the best teachers would willingly take charge of the schools when re- moved from the uncomfortable buildings now so far from the center of the community. Although these changes suggested by y our committee may not at present be accomplished, it is hoped that we shall all have quickened yet more our interest in the edu- cational prosperity of our town. The hearty compliance with the "School Rules and Regulations" which were issued by the Board at the commencement of the school year, is substantial testimony to the pleasant relations between the schools and those charged with their management. The rigid enforcement of rules regarding the pres- ervation of school property has resulted in a mani- fest improvement about the school premises. In reference to the work done in the schools, we direct your attention to the report of the Superin- tendent which is appended. We recommend $9,500 for the annual' appropria- tion. In conclusion, we wish to bring one subject prominently to your attention. When our town voted to unite with other towns in the employment of a district Superintendent we strongly favored it; but we N 14 15 P O P, OF TIIF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS'. To THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF MANSFIELD: G'entlemeg2,--The Second Annual Report of the Superintendent of Schools, covering two terms, or tweuty-nine weeps, is hereby respectfully submitted. Owing to a change in the arrangement of the terms f the school year, the winter term will not close in season to form apart of this report.

The entire number enrolled last year was 662. As we report for only two terms this year, and there will doubtless be some additions to the schools at the beginning and during the usual period reported for the winter school, the increase of ninety-three pupils shows a satisfactory growth during the past year. Few towns can show as large a per cent. of grammar school graduates who enter the High School, and the best part of the record is that they entered to 'stay through the term, not one 'leaving. We have not the facts to show the, average age of the present entering class in the I3igh School at the time they entered the 4 17 primary school, but taking the average age of those who now enter, as a basis, and it is shown that nine years have enabled them to procure a preparation which is as satifactory as that of any class it has been my privilege to put into any High School. A fact which does not wholly appear in the table, and a fact which 'shows what an advance Mansfield has made as a first requisite for successful work, is that now no school, excepting the High School, has over fifty scholars. In the Central school each teach- er has between forty and fifty; in the Green school, each teacher has between thirty and forty-five; the totals for the other schools will show the. whole num- ber in each at the specified date. The record of Whiteville is not as bright as we wish it was. At the re -opening of the school eighteen were enrolled. Be- fore the end of the first month five had removed from town. Since then one has entered and two have left, leaving an average attendance of about ten. A glance at the table will show that three of the six grades have but one scholar each, and there can be but little enthusiasm in classes so small. The pros- pect is that when warm weather returns` there will be more pupils, but the number will undoubtedly be small: GRADE.
