country, embracing parts Of Virginia, Tennes-
see, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabcms is
supplied with salt from these works and the adj
joining estate, the two together supplying an
increasing demand at present Of about four

fsred for the profitable exercise Of energy. and
the investment of capital. Persons desiring to
lease are invited to examine the property and
10 test the quality of the brine before the day of
letting, and to acquaint themselves with such
facts connected with the manufacture and sale
of salt, as will enable them 70 appreciate the
annual value of the property.

fARMINGToE, FEB. !, lS0S.
To The Editor Of the Prces;
The February number of the normal con-
tains an article, by my esteemed iellow-worh-
or in education, Mr.. A. p. stone of your city,
which is adapted. fear, to produce wrong
Impression upon some of the points which he
touches. Beginning with the general state
ment that "there is not much unity in our
system Of education in Maine" and affirming
that colleges, high schools, normal schools,
academies, grammar schools and primaries"
have little special reference to each other"
he goes on to utter a "growl of dissatisfac-
ton" in the following terms: ".The colleges
adhere with undying tenacity to their old
curriculum and growl out their dissatistac-
ton because entering students are no better
prepared for admission; but take few or no
measures to cooperate with preparatory
schools to secure better qualifications"
Again." think the presidents and pro-
fessofs Of our colleges repose a little too much
upon their dignity,"--<Sc., &c. e ,s
Now, AIr. Editor, it is not my intention to
deny that teachers Of all grades might do
more, by special efforts, to aid each other in
their work, and thus to advance the general
interest of education, in this State, as in any
our Maine colleges have as much sympathy
and interestin the public schools of the.State,
as Is found between the same Institutions in
other States. The officers and teachers OF
al! our schools have their own specific work
to accomplish and cannot depart very far
from their especial line Of duty, to mingle
with those who are managing their own af.
fairs in some other department of the same
work. 1 will not say that all is done in this
way which might be done, but know that
some OF these college professors have been EN-.
inently seryiceable in the cause of the public
schools, even beyond what would be natural.
ly expected. ~
shall take the liberty to call names in
this connection. So long ago as In 1898
Professor Packard of Bowdoin College severa
times addressed the County Teachers Asso. a
tion which yet year after year, in the win.
ter vacations, in various towns in Cumber-
land county-once in your city. One of those
addresses-an admirable summing up of 'tbe
characteristics of good school," the associa.
| tlon printed and circulated. The same gen.
tleman, five or six years ago addressed the
State Teachers Association, giving an lntelli'
gent review of the progress ofconlmon school
educa lion in the last quarter OF century
and showing that he has not lived with his
eyes and ears closed; indeed the schools o.
Brunswick eve very much to his faithful su,
