The meeting of the teachers of schools, and
friends OF education, in our State, which is to
De held at Lewiston, Monday and Tuesday of
next week, ought to be fully at 4ended. The
object which it.has in view is one which is of
vital interest to our people. The time has
been, when not only were assemblies of the
character which this meeting will--as.l-=-r--+''
every, ,,aasz-:-s m every county of
our State assembled during one week oi the
year teachers convention or institute for
the purpose of giving practical instruction to
the more inexperienced teachers Of our COM.
mon schools and of discussing questions of
science and the art of school discipline. It is
our opinion, that those institutes properly
conducted wonld have proved themselves
measure OF economy peeuniarily. We need
better teachers for our public schools, and if
we mistake not, we need more efficient sys-
tenn of supervision, to attain that md -
Inc rural dlstrtct5 do not at pre- eut feel any
Dehencln results from cur syste N of State Su-
pervision, and in the very nature of the case
it is impossible that they should do So We
do not propose, however, TO discuss this ques-
ticn now, but cannot avoid expressing our
qualification that among the other topics se-
al Lewiston the following is proposed namely
"The Best Method of School Supervision for
Town or State We bespeak for this tonic
the best thought and the wisest invention of
the mbers of the educational convention. l
Let this have its full share of attention, ior it
IS fundamental question, and as such of para
mount Importance
Among other topics which we see are to be |
discussed in the convention, we notice Arith
nietic, upon which Mr.. Geo. A. Walton of
Lawrence, Massachusetts, is advertised to |
speak. Lectures are to be delivered by Gen
eral Caldwell of Augusta, A. P. Stone, Prin-
cpal OF the High School in this city, and G. B. |
Stetson, Esq o! Auburn. Mr.. Hagar of Sa-
lem, Massachusetts,, and Rev. Dr. Ballard OF
Brunswick, will be present and take part in |
the discussions. Teachers a ttending the con- |
vention will be gratuitously entertained bv |
the bospitaJle citizens of Lewiston. The rail |
roads of The State will carry at reduced rates. |
Evidently great pains has been taken by the |
State Committee to secure for those who shall |
be IN attendance the best entertainment nos |
sible, and we feel bound in consideration of |
the good that may be accomplished by this |
convention If rightly conducted, and in view |
OF the necessity that an interest be awakened |
among the teachers aud the people, in cur
common schools, to urge full attendance |

DEATH OF FlTz GREENE HALLFcK. The
poet Halleck, whose death was mentioned by
the telegraph yesterday morning, was born AZ
Guiitord, Connecticut, III 1895, and WA'
cordingly in his seventy third year ~ 'n'
OF his decease. The fame oi biy y'"'
all our American poets dates ba'A :" - N''i'
er period than that oi iialiech' Inc ii's' VI
his productions which attracted me phbhc AT
tention was published in the New York Post
i'm 1913 In 1919 the poem called Fanny" was
written. 1t was written i'll the measure Of
Ryron's Don Juan, and was greatly admired
John Randolph excepted it from the large and
boundless hate with which he viewed every
thing Northern Such was his appreciation
of Fanny" that he carried it to England. de-
claring that he would present it to the clever
est person he met there. This poem was writ
ten very hastily. Notwithstanding its ac-
knowledged mefits, Mr.. Halleck completed it
in twenty days after the first line was written.
The struggles of the Greeks for indeLehdeiice
during the first quarter of the present century
gave occasion for the prcductlon oi marco
- Bozzaris,' well known to school boys, and ap-
preciated by the whole literary world. This IS
perhaps better known than any other of his
pieces.
HaIIeck waa not voluminous writer. A
small volume contains all that he ever thought
of sufficient Importance to give to the world
He had not the stimulus OF poverty, which, il
other cases, has proved the source OF inspira
ton. All through his lie he has been associ
ated with wealthy men who have not beer
niggardly in assisting him. At the age 9
eighteen he became clerk in the employ Of
rich New York banker, and subsequently {
John Jacob Astor. He remained with the lat

t9e former is abnndantly able to take care both
OF hmseif and his antagonist, as he who has
tne s1ght. aiwaysis. But my object in this
eoamunlcation I'm is simply to say that the views
ol Many Parents" seem to meet the approyal
OF a large majority of those interested IN tba
subject; and understanding that an able report
I VIII be made to the School Committee at its
next meeting, by subcommittee Of that body
recommending the change proposed, can but
express the hope that it will be adopted. I

1 'CoLBY UNIVERSITY. The annual catalogue
of this institution shows a total OF SO students.
of whom only Ga are members OF the Uniyer-
sity, while - are fitting for college in the
Classical Institute under, the instruction of
Mr.. James IL. Hanson, formerly princi
pal of the Boys High School ia this
city. As a matter OF fact the Classical Insti-
tnte and the University, we understand. are
both under the direction of the same board Of
trustees, and may in q certain sense he ,a-
garded as different departments of the same
institution; this fact, however, does not ap-
pear in the catalogue, and the impression
produced upon the general public by the ap-
pearanee OF the preparatory class" in a col
ege catalogue, is not, We fear, altogether 4.
vorable. We are glad to see that list of three
prizes Is offered TO students best fitted for
college. The first OF these was awarded this
year to e. 5. Stevens, fitted by Mr. Hanson at
Waterville and the third to C. IF. Sturois
fitted by MIR. Elias Brookings at Cherryfield
The second prize, for the best of not less than
six from the same school, was not awarded
The college paper has been compelled to tlrop
its old title, the "Wateryilian' and appears
this year as the "Oracle," through whose col
umns, we suppose, notacuty dog barks. We
learn ffom the Oracle that the Uniyersity is
Ia need OF woedshed and a gymnasium; al

ed to remove and take away the f6iaies of the
PRESIDENT from the University library, and
contaminated the outrage by suspending the
same by the neck in public place. ''49 3.

Temperance Men and the Excise Law in

Hi
'+t'H'7' 5""i New Xorf 5et - ef
To the Editor of the PraSs: "5'' -I 2 t'iif"
SIR,-A paragraph in your is sue ofTbursday ~
is calculated to convey WRONG impression Of
| the Excise Law of New York and the pos;tio,
OF the Temperance men in that State in rela-
ton to1t Will you permit few lines by way
| OF correction?, -...l.l-4 ii -.,..rt ..l.
The ultra" Temperance men of that State
'ldolize" only one peculiarity Of the Excise
law and that is the clause which prohibits The
sale of liquor on Sunday.
This Clause, vigorously enforced, as It is Inv
the metropolitan police Ct that city, has resuit-
ed in vast diminution of drunkenness and dis
turbahce upon that day. This is sufficient to
make those who thrive upon the rum traffic
and its Inevitable results, combine to over
throw the law. iE ia .,i..if Is.ss-- 1855
The Temperance men claim that upon the
days when the law licenses the trafic, the only
benefit (?) the community derives from it, is a
participation in the profits of this infamous
trade, Aud this they regard as an aserava-
ton Of the evil.
The Rum Regime of Massachusetts which is
to be ns.iered in next January under the pat
ronage Of the p. L. L. 5 can find nothing in the
NtAv York Excise Law that will answer their
purpose, except what the Temperance men op-
pose as attempting TO legalize By human lesis-
lation what God has condemned in the hieh her
law and as making til people at large share
in the guilty responsibility of those who put
'the bottle {, their neghbors lips O.C.

WHY HE STOPPED.

That he was abundantly able to accomplish
the distance, with an ample margin of time to
spare, no one who saw his walk from Girard to
Conneaut can doubt. He earnestly insisted
upon going forward, and yielded finally only
to the veto OF his party. Whether his going
forward on Saturday night would. have .ieop-
arded his after success is question which the
public, however deeply interested, has no right
to discuss with his advisers. That he will ac-
complish The hundred mile feat and the entire
walk seems now more probable than ever be-
fore. 1852 -41it. e15
One word concerning his present relation to
his time table. From Portland to Chicago his
average daily work was forty-seyen and three
twenty -ninths miles. He has now nine work
ing-days in which to walk the remaining four
hundred and sixteen miles, or daily average
of forty-six miles. Taking out of this the hun
dred miles in one day, his task is easy He has
gained two pounds since starting, and is in
