neut remarks were made by Prof. Fetch

tine. De- Griu1le of Mt Desert and 9TH
CTS. Al coucurred ia the sentiment that
teachers should be educated for their work
THAT higher qualifications were demand
ed-tiat ike other learned professions.
llr teachers business should be a ifa
work and not simply a steppin. stone to
-umrlhiug else. and that the compensation
should be commensurate with the impor-

hands.
10 This end. teachers should have their

True, some might fail. aud in the same
manner. failures might be found in the

all her soldiers are citizens. Ii is matter of
pride, that in thi, commonwealth Of our, we
have SO many men who are soldiers and citi-
Zens-men who can serve their country on the
battle field, or In the cabinet-men who fought
heroically in the war aud who have been faith
full TO her in peace.
There is one who has given the flower OF his
youth TO his country's battles,-who enlisted
among her brave defenders when scarce twen-
iy-one years Of age. He freely offered up his
time. his talents, his blood, when the nation
was assailed by armed foes. Since our victory
he has been the faithful citizen. the accomplish
ed scholar. the modest gentleman. His services
and sufferings have not been forgotten though
he has not pressed them upon US. Permit me,
then, coming from the East. as do. but ia be-
half Of our soldiers, in behalf of our citizens,

young, vigorous, bounding blood OF Our state,
