This gives the ratio of increase for the whole
State, OF 1876 per cent.
The town OF East Livermore. which, in 1910,
was part of the town of Livermore, in the county
OF Oxford, has sSce been incorporated and an
nexed to the county of Kennebec. The actual in
crease, therefore, within the former limiis of Ok
ford county, is 49, per cent, instead of All,
or per cent, as given above And the increase
within the former limits of Kennehec county, 10
6s2s, or 10 per cent, instead of 6,72O, or IL per
cent, as given above.
Again, the census of Aroostook county, for 1910.
includes 75 inh sbants north Of the river ST. John,
that within the present limits of that county, the
population, in l640, was in fact. bat ,663 The
increase therefore, ia 1885, or 66 per cent, instead
Of 3, 10, or 80 per cent.
Ii will be seen by this official statement, tina
Msine falls far behind Massachusetts and Rhod.
Island, and does not mantaiR an equal struggle
with New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Vermont
This is a result at which, in view of the pas,
we may feel mortified, but which is not unac
cosn,able.
Down to 1910, Maine was increasing much NOR
rapidly than the country at large. From 1910 u
1880 still maintained its relative position, its in
crease being 80 per cent for each of the intervening
periods ct ten years.
From 1880 TO 1910, our increase fell, for the hrt
time, below the general standard, being only y
per cent.
Now, in 1850, the increase falls down to l6j
per cent This, certainly, presents us in anything
but ffatterng position. IL is disagree he fac,
but fact, riheess, which stares in the face
which cannot be denied or wiped out. Here ar,
the figures, and they do not lie. II is fact, too
into the cause and origin of which, every citizen o.

examine, and seek to solve the problem presented,

SOUTHERN SCHOOL BOOKS.

There is great cause of complaint, and the
matter has been often urged, that the Southern
States, in their supervision Of education, have
made no attempt to provide suitable series of
School Books. As it is we allow the whole
material of education to be fashioned by our
enemies, and we shall find that they make the
most of the advantage thus surrenderedto them
Their School Biographies, for instance, are
elaborate exhibits of the North with incidental
and sighting mention Of the South. 1t was not
long ago that we took up what claimed to be
a Dictionary Of American Biography. In the
whole Of it there was not to be foundthe name
of single man born South Of Virginia. This
may serve as specimen of the spirit of section
al selfconsequence that marks the school lit
erature of the North.
But there is class of these books to which
still graver objection is applicable-the Read
ing Books for Schools These arc made up Of
extracts of speeches addressed to the prevail
ing opinion. Nearly all of them contain
good assortment of abolition rhetoric, and on
every account they ought to be summarily BAN
ished from our borders. 1t would cost very lit
tie labor to prepare Reading Books that should
be net only unobjecfonable, bat would tend to
make the early course of education growth in
patriotic feeling and just pride Of country. Of
this character we are confident will be Read
ing Book prepared by Mr.. P. II. Folkcr, and
which he proposes speedily to publish, under
the title of the F" Carolina Reader" We have
looked over his title page, and think he has
made, in the main, very judicious selection..-
Mr.. Folker is an experienced teacher, and it was
the sense of the insuperable objections to the
Northern Readers, that put him upon the pres.
ent undertaking. He has spent much Of his
time in making his selections, and will spare no
effort to make his book complete. We heartily
approve his design, and think he deserves all
favor and encouragement from the community.
Whether he succeed or not, will depend upon
them. Book publishing is new thing among
us, and it is scarcely possible for an individual
to undertake it without assurances before hand
of suitable support For this purpose, we be-
lieye, it is the authors intention speedily to put
out a prospectus with view to subscriptions.
