THE PRIESTS AND THE PUBLIC Schools
AT Van Buren,, town in Aroostook county
peopled largely with French Catholics, trouble
has arisen between the priests and the civil
authorities in regard to the public schools. The
priest objects to the use of the books known as
the Royal School Series in English and
French introduced in accordance with
Chapter II, Special Laws of 1878, and all the
schools but one, some twelve in number, have
been closed. Superintendent of Schools
Corthell will investigate the matter. A
thorough inquiry is needed not only in this
town but in all the others on the Northern
border where thu majority of the inhabitants
are Catholics, for it is alleged by responsible
persons that the moneys received from the
State for school purposes which are controlled
by the priests are Systematically misappAed by
them.

the deck canopied and converted into hand
some saloon, decorated with festoons of ever
greens, DO wers and grottos. Fountains sent
up jets of spray sparkling in the light of the
many wax candles, Japanese transparencies,
and lights of various coors, reminding one of
the stories Of fairy land. Our entertainers,
however, were not fairies, bat gentlemen that
knew how to treat their guests with true pc.

bountituhy supplied, to which ample justice
was done.
Everything was after the Russian customs

Russian music, dances, songs and games made
up the evening. The time passed SO pleasantly
that we quite regretted when the hour for
leaving came. Long years will pass before the
pleasures of that evening recede from memory.

gotten Vi by officers of the Russian imperial
navy, who form company Of very fine look
