The New RAILRoAD.-If the Franklin and
Kennebec Central Railroad isn't built, it will
not be the fault of the newspapers. The
Readfeld News is doing good work in calling
the attention of the people in that town to
the advantage of the narrow gauge. 1t says:
1T is settled fact that the road must and
shall be built. Now that which most inter-
ests Readfeld is its location; many routes
have been proposed, some of which cannot
be regarded with favor. Readield will never
be reconciled TO the location of this road in a
manner inimical to her interests and if our
conception of her interests be correct she
does not desire the construction of another
railroad, that will enter her territory, with
out passing through its business centre. BY
a little exertion of influence, necessary de-
yelopment of public spirit, and a liberal
stock subscription, our business men and
capitalists can secure the location of the
Franklin and Kenncbec Central X. r., at a
point which will immeasurably benefit our
village. The Kennebec journal, while illus
trating the advantages that will accrue to
Augusta by its construction. shows conclu-
sively that it may be built at an expense, not
to exceed two hundred and forty thousand
dollars. Men of Readfeld! now is your OPP
portunity. 1t may not soon come again.
Talk think act We will have the road,
and we will secure its benefits, if you will
but bear hand. A great back country is to
be opened, new resources are to be devel-
oped, our merchants need no word of ours to
all the advantages of the project, if they will
but open their eyes to the facts which are
presented them. Call a meeting. and show
the stuff of which you are made. Work, for
sit has got to come"

so often lacking, was notably manifest
There was more or less GiIidence and

ly preventing scholars from telling ex-
actly what they know in response to
questions from their teacher or from
Others but there had evidently been
such thorough work in the school dur
ing the term, that the result of the ex-
animation could only be subject of
congratulation to the School Board
The remarks of Mr.. Rich, the Principal
as he officially closed the school for the
three weeks recess, are worthy of a per-
manent place in the mind of every
one of his pupils. AS he compared the
recitations of each scholar in theexam-
inatiOn with the marks of hardness
and absence in his record book for the
term, he observed how closely they cor,
responded. The pupil who was absent,
even for single day would suifera loss
that he could probably never make up.
If the pupil should be present all the
time he would not fail of making prog
ress, and the examination would show
it. He spoke of the responsibility of
parents in insisting that the pupils
should go to school regularly and con-
stantly and by the interest which they
might take in the progress of their chill
dren, incite them to do their best He
also emphasized the Importance of at
tention, showing that memorr is only
another name for the power of atten-
ton. He closed his remarks by advis-
ing his scholars to improve the vaca-
ton for the purpose for which it was
given-recreation, suggesting that
none had better study all the time, but
