3rd. Let it be day of goodwill
"good-wiU to men" In all the histo-
ry of Jesus, there is not hint Of bad
will. His coming was pledge of good
will from God to men. He manifested
that goodwill to ail-even to those who
mocked him ard crticifed him. His
goodwill appeared in his miracles. He
made the poor rich, the weak strong,
the ignorant wise, the sorrowful glad,
the SICK we'll He fed the hungry
His first announcement was message
of goodwill: ''The spirit Of the Lord
is upon me because he hath anointed
me to preach the gospel to the poor !;
he hath sent me to heal the broken
hearted, to preach deliverance to the
captives, and recovering of sight to the
blind, to get at liberty them that are
bruised, to preach the acceptable year
Of the Lord" He was himself pre-
eminently ''the good Saniaritan;' which
his story has made so famous. Let Ills
birthday, then, be honored by every ex-
preston of goodwill. Let it be a day
Of royal hospitality and of giving of
gifts Of such as you have. Remember
the poor Create gladness round about
you, in your home. and places of bust
ness. If you have had ill-will, let it
go-be done with it. Will good let
your face and tone, as well as your
words, be a benediction.
Observe these three things, good
friends, and you will have a Merry
Christmas, and lie whose birthday it is
will be glad in you. But / have a
word to say for Him. Gifts to whom
gifts are due. Some of you have al
ready given him your hearts, and so all
things. For those who have our hearts
have all we have. But others of YOU
have taken his good gifts all your life
thus far, and have not even said thank
you to Him. Give Him a Christmas
gift. Let it be your heart.

According TO Roundab bouts column in the
evening Times, superintendent w. q.
Brown visited the Upper Girls High School
on Friday, and received very discourteous
treatment from the principal. 1t appears
that the respect the teacher owes the sups-
rior officer was not strong enough to repel
the prejudice Mrs. Shaw feels toward col
ored gentleman, and that she deported her
self in painfully disrespectful manner to-
ward the State Superintendent. This is
unfortunate. We have always regard ed
Mrs. Shaw as good teacher. a lady whose
services are useful, though by no me ans
Indispensable to the public, in the capacity
in which she is at present employed
It is made the duty of tho State Superin-
tendent to visit the public schools. He is
the chief executive officer of the system.
and it will never do at all for subordinate
subdivision 10 put itself SO far above the chief
officer as to behave badly when he is in the
proper discharge Of his official duties. As it is
happens, too, the visit was made on Friday,
which is set apart in all the high schools as
general exercise day." and when visit
ors are expected. But the teachers are not
to prescribe the days for the superintend-
ent sand directors to visit the schools. And
they are expected to set better examples
before the pupils than to treat their supe-
Yior officers with contumely. The schoo
are, under certain restrictions, open to the
visits from parents and school officers at all
times. And the teachers are, least Of all,
to be permitted to prescribe the times Of
visitation.
But Roundabout, with his usual prone
ness to fall into error appears to assume
that our girls high schools are close cor
porations and that the State Superinten-
dent is guilty of gross breach Of good
breeding for the intrudng upon its privacy
without first obtaining the consent of his
subordinate teachers to do 80. He had
better make the principals of the schools
superintendents At once and abolish the
State officers.

A Story Greatly Reduced.

A gentleman who has been for many
years resident Of this city and connected
with the Towboat Association from 1919 to
1860, assures US from hls own personal
knowledge and an examination of the
records of the association, that the state
meLt Is contained IN a paragraph which ap-
peared in the REPUBLICAN on the tenth, un-
incorrect. The mater related to alleged
extortionate charges for towing the chip
Mary E. Cannon to sea, grounding her on
the bar, and claiming $4,000 for assisting
her off. The records Of the association for
many years have been examined. and show
no such transaction. No such name as the
Mary E. Cannon appears on the company's
books. But it appears that in 1859 the ship
Mary E. Campbell. Captain OBrien. from
Thomaston, Maine, was towed to the bar by
the towboat Ocean, got aground and was as
sisted Of the bar by the Mary Kingsland,
consort Of the Ocean. The charges for towing
to sea IRE recorded as $526 so, and for
assistance on the bar by the K;ngsland
500; in all. $626 80. These facts in the
case of the Mary E. Campbell we take from
the original records Of the association,
which have been shown US by the gentle
man who kept the books in those days. and
whose testimony is conclusive.
The statement made by the REPUBLICAN
on the tenth was furnished us by gentle
man of unquestioned probity; but we are
satisfied he has been misinformed, as he is
not II position to speak Of the matter
from his personal knowledge. If he or his
informant, however, can establish the facts
that such ship as the Mary E. Cannon,
from Thomaston, ever visited this port,
was towed to the bar, there grounded and
afterwards relieved at an expense of 900
by the Towboat Association, our columns
are open for his proofs. At present a strong
suspicion OF improbability rests upon the
information he furnished us on the tenth
instant.
