Maine Educational Associations
SECOND DAr.-wEDNrsDAY.

The Association, in acceptance Of cor
dial invitation, made an excursion, In thu
forenoon, to the State College at Orono,
They inspected the building md the grounds
and witnessed an exhibition drill by the Co
burn Cadets.
In the afternoon, the subject, Stree Text
Books for Free Schools" and "The Princi.
pies which should determine the Character Of
Text Books" were taken up. After brief
remarks by the President, giving the results
of the use Of free text books In Lewiston,
Rev. Samuel F. Dixie, d. d., of Bath, open.
ed the discussion Of the first subject. He ad-
vocated compulsory attendance on the pub.
lie schools, and believed the idea Of free text
books would prevail as we'll as that Of free
schools. In Bath the books are given into
the care Of the teacher, and as they are the
property of the city, he is held responsible
for the careful use of them. He in turn
places it in the hands of the scholar, holding
him accountable for it, and if it is destroyed
the pupil must pay for it. The books through
out the schools look far better than when
scholars furnished them.
The scond subject was taken up by Hon.
Theo. S. Rand OF New Brunswick, who adj
v0cated that there be some central authority
for selecting text books. He had no faith in
large text books and believed in teaching
subjects, not books.
The subject Of the ''Demand for Free
High Schools" was taken up and discussed
by Mr.. A. +. Stone of Portland. Schools
should be properly classified and graded. and
he showed in many ways the peculiar advsn.
tages of free high schools.
The discussion of the subject of emusic in
Schools was opened by j. s. Barrell of
Lewiston. Music promotes the health and
happiness Of scholars, which is one of the
great points in favor of it. But other rea-
sons are that it promotes order, discipline
and developes the mind, quickens the powers
of observation, memory and understanding.
But higher consideration is, that it should
be cultivated for the sake Of religion.
In the evening Rev. DR.. Allen, President
of the State College, delivered an address on
the "Claims of an Industrial Education. Ed
ucation implies not only learned brain, but
a trained hand; this develops thought and its
expansion into action. The address present.
ed much that Was not only interesting, but
in showing how and what results
