THE School Committee does not give its
teachers just appointed. One reason sug-
gested is that the number has been reduced,
and it is not thought best to publish the fact
Another reason suggested, and one more
complimentary to the Committee, is that it
declines TO announce the list out of regard
to the teachers who have been dropped.
It should carry its consideration little fur
ther and notify those teachers before the
Spring term closes. As it is they go upon
their vacations uncertain as to their reap
pointment and can make no arrangements
for their future. Naturally most of them
expect to come back. The suspense is cruel
and the Portland School Committee about
the only body of the kind that subjects
teachers to it.
THAT Artful Dodger, the Eastern Argus,
avoids again as it has avoided before, the
definition of its position on the silver ques-
ton. 1t does not answer the questions put
to it by the PRESS. In fact it shirks. 1t
dare not clearly define its position because it
is alfdlu Oh OuenulllS one OF Ile Otlltr Vi tHe
wings of its party or alarming the Green
hackers. Though repeatedly asked it de-
clnes to say what it means by ''the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver 1t puts ques-
tions instead of answering those put to it.
Let it answer the queries addressed to it by
the PRESS Wednesday, and we will then
consider the questions it asked Thursday.
THE Rockland Courier is a wise as well as
witty paper. 1t sharply rebukes one of its
contemporaries for a characteristically mean
act in these words: '.The Camden Herald
as a consistent Greenback paper, should
fight both of the old parties with equal
heartiness, but when it repeats the asrocious
slander made against the career Of an hon
orlbe soldier by such paper as the Maine
StGW9Gr1, it loses every claim 10 decency,
the more especially, that that SANDER had
been proven and branded as unequiyocally
false, beyond al cavil, long before the Her
aJd admitted it to its columns"

Convention Sparks.

Since w. H. 0rtt has quit running for
Sheriff for the Democrats, he has con-,
Guided to collar the Republicans for the
county Treasury. Washington township
must have all the best offices you know.
The Ring reside here.
Mart Randall is a good fellow and.
would make a first-class county Treasur-
er, but he don't live in Eaton and the
Ring will sit down OF him.
Jefferson township is too far from
Washington township to get a county Of
fee. She would better move up nearer
and bring J. P. G. with her. We like to
have our friends near us.
The Camden candidate has the Cam
den "Dishrag" over his head and that
will smother him. The Ring need not
sit on him-he's gone any how.
The next evening after the Republican
Convention to nominate candidates, j.
NJ. Daugherty will celebrate the 25th an
niversary of his. trying to get an office.
1t will be more gorgeous than a tin we'd
ding. The idea that a candidate not in
the Ring should ask a nomination. Re
d~iculous!
jackson township has the impudence
to offer a candidate for County Treasur-
err. Bon't the poor fools over there know
the Ring has settled that matter?
A Republican remarked the other day:
Gle may get the nomination, but by
C. he'll never be elected" "No
chronic office-hunter for u.s." Mutiny
already.
Consult the Republican Ring if you
want to get a nomination for office.
The Grand Jury was hustled through
on a double quick. There is an election
close at hand.
Mr.. Thomas has organized a Foster
and "Hickenscooper' club in Camden.
That ought to secure him the nomination
for Treasurer. But it won't, The Ring
don't care-a d.
Will Thomas's services in the val Sc
cure him the nomination over the stay
at-home Ring candidate? Of course it
won't,

The Maple Grove School of Washing
ton township, this county, has been IN
der the control of L. P. Shideler during
the past year; and, as his patrons were
highly pleased with his work, they turn
ed out on the last day of the.school MAY
31st,) and gave a grand dinner to show
their appreciation of the progress made
during the year. After the appetites of
the large number present were appeased,
the visitors were entertained with select
readings by the pupils, after which May
or Abbott, of Eaton, delivered an elo-
quent address, in which he portrayed the
advantages of our country schools and
the beauties of country life in such glow
ing terms, that every n looked upon it
as a rare treat.
Mr.. Shideler has been engaged to teach
the same school next winter, and with
the cooperation of both parents and pu-
pills, he will be able to accomplish more
good and obtain better results than dur
ing the past eight months. 1t is to be
hoped that the people throughout the
county will soon see the great advantage
to be gained by retaining teachers that
have proven themselves to be efficient
workers, and thereby do away with one
of the great drawbacks that has been {
stubborn hindrance to the progress of GU
country schools.

Eiah School commencement.


The commencement on Thursday eve
ming CLINE 18th, in the Opera Hall, wa
an event creditable to the teachers an6
Pupils. The graduates were four-Wm
N. Silver, Maggie Cox, Lola NJ. Berry
and Mary E. Reynolds. Their essays
were excellent. Miss Cox's Salutatory
was presented in fitting words of cheer
and greeting. She then proceeded to hel
subject proper, melodies" which she
handled in a manner pleasing and pro.
fitable. Miss Berry chose a subject moi
hackneyed, eve All Wear Cloaks," and
lin a clear voice she read her production,
in which with analytic skill, she dissect-
Fed the Discrimination under which SC
many persons conceal their innermost
thoughts VIM. n. Silver chose for his
subject, "0uf Country's Future" He
showed himself to be a careful student Of
history, and in appropriate expression
poured forth eloquent and patriotic ut
terances. Miss Reynolds presented for
her theme "Anadne's Clue..'' From this
story of Grecian mythology, she skillful-
ly drew the practical lesson that as we
move through the labyrinth of life we
need some unerring guide which is found
in the kindness of God, our heavenly
Father, and she then closed with a vale
dictory, afectionate and eloquent.
All of these graduates did their part
well, and received the concentrations of
the intelligent part of the audience. But
just here we must remark, that the out
rageous noise produced by an utterly
reckless portion of the throng, efectually
kept the greater part who were straining
every nerve to hear, from receiving any
benefit whatever from the reading. 1t is
connndrum difficult to solve, why per-
sons who are so destitute of intelligence
and good breeding as to talk loudly dur
ing the exercises of a public meeting
should go there at all. If they do not
want to hear, that gives them no tight to
keep intelligent and thoughtful persons
from hat enjoyment. We cannot ex-
press ourselves too strongly upon this
point. If those guilty of this outrage up
on the rights of an audience, did but
know how utterly d~isgraeeful such con-
duct is, they would be slow to repeat it.
It has been thought that were an admiss-
ion fee charged to our school commence
ment, itwould have a tendency to ex-
clnde this troublesome element. In adj
dition, it would be well to have parents
instruct their children to act with propri-
ETY. in all public assemblies.
The music furnished vas enjoyable.
We mention the octet, the quartette, the
duet, and the solo, as excellent. The
voices Of the young ladies are well train
ed andssurpassingly melodious. Beauti-
full bouquets in p~rofusion were showered
upon the graduates. s. s.SDix delivered
a brief address and the diplomas-and
with a class song and the benediction
the commencement exercises of 1879
came to an end.
