FREE HIGH SCHOOLS,

1t is said that an attempt will be made to
repeal the free high school act, by those who
have not cared to avail themselves OF its ad-
vantages. This attempt will fail, simply be-
cause the system has proved great benefit to
towns in supporting high grade of schools
aud thereby giving hundreds of our young men
and women all the advantages of the old acad-
emies which they wonld otherwise be unable to
obtain. The free high school also affords the
town schools better educated class Of teach
ers, which must be made sure Of unless we are
willing that the common schools of Maine
should languish. S.

would resign a. chairman of the state

be on their guard, and to make strong

Is utterly devoid of wisdom, to keep
his country in ferment, and sim
