Mr.. w. G.. Adams said that male
teacher was the great desideratum. A
lady teacher could easily expel an unruly
boy of 16, but male teacher of tact
could retain the boy and benefit him.
Mr.. Adams said he had great respect for
Miss Jones, but did not think she could
run the school. Indeed, in running her
department she had been obliged to call
on the principal for assistance in disci-
pline.
Mr.. Blake said but three cases of insu-
bordination occurred in Miss Jones's
room last year.
In conclusion, Mr.. Wilson said that
with what had been said, and with the
petition of over 80 per cent OF the par
ents having children in the school they
would rest their case.
After the retirement of the remon-
strants, the question was discussed at
considerable length by the board. 1t
was felt that SO much neighborhood feel
ing had been aroused on Peaks Island
that Miss Jones would now find it very
embarrassing to take charge of the
school. Therefore Mr.. Blake suggested
that Miss Jones be transferred to the
city, and woman teacher from the city,
who is not in any way complicated by
acquaintances,I be put over the Peaks ISL
and school.
Mr.. Mcdonald therefore moved that
Miss Jones be transferred to the Jackson
school, and Mr.. Blake seconded it.
With this motion was combined another
that Miss Ada B. Curtis, of the jackson
school, be transferred to the Peaks ISL
and school as its principal.
This motion was passed unanimously,
and Miss Jones's salary at the jackson
school was fixed at $3.50, and Miss Cur
tis's at the Peaks Island school at $500.
This is the settlement of the Peaks
Island question. There will be no male
teacher.
Mr.. Patrick MCGOWAN, the senior mem
Der of the board, was present yesterday
for the first time since his recent illness,
Yesterday was his 10Th birthday.
It was voted that Hyde's Grammar No.
2 be placed on the list of books.
The request of citizen of Oakdale
that his child be allowed to attend Port
land High School was laid on the table.

How the Women Are Supporting a New
Kind of Gambling.


How the Women Are Supporting a New
Kind of Gambling.
The hard times have driven people--to
strange ways of mending their fortunes,
as a curious case that came under the
notice of the PRESS yesterday will
illustrate. 1t was on Congress street, at
that time of the day when there is the
largest number Of women shoppers out.
Two men were sitting in a doorway,
watching the pedestrians, upon whose
coming and going they were basing some
sort of mysterious game of chance.
Here they come" 3Bet they do" "Bet
they DON'T" and similar ordinations,
together with frequent payments of
pennies, were evidence that the game
was one of hazard and very brisk at that.
For long time it was impossible for the
observer to tell what the betting was
about. 1t was evident that it related in
some way to the women who were pass
ing; but in what way was mystery.
Neither beauty nor dress seemed to be
the determining factor. Finally the
observer hit it. The two gamblers had
| noticed that quite often when two women
meet on the street one or the other will,
as they pass, turn and give quick look
about to notice some detail of the other S
dress. Whenever two women would ap-
proach from different directions the
gamblers would wager their pennies on
the probabilities that one or the other
woman would look around at the other
dress The game was lively, and lasted
a large portion of the afternoon.

tently the Portland High School we will

Mr.. Job Sanford made an earnest argu-
esent in favor of male teacher and
against female teacher,
Mr.. Henry Trefethen was next called
by MI. Blake. He said that Mr., Will
bur's success with his boy was not the
best; but perhaps it was the fault of the
boy. Mr.. Trefethen said he was much
pleased when he heard that Miss Jones
was to be placed in charge of the boy
But as he had no children in the school
now he did not feel like interfering.
Mr.. Job Sanford then took the floor in
behalf of the rule of man. He thought
that woman would not govern in W ay
satisfactory to the children"
Mr.. Blake questioned Mr.. Sanford, and
a spirited colloquy resulted. Mr.. Blake
said the.plan should be thoroughly I'M
derstood. 1t was proposed in no way te
harm the discipline and efficiency of the
Peaks Island school, but it was proposed
to save $500 annually, which is now use
lessly spent.
Mr., MCGOWAN, of the committee, re-
called some useful "reminiscences OF
similar troubles in other schools, where
the influence of parents had been brought
to bear.

A remarkable duel that resulted in
the death of one Of the principals and
the fatal wounding of the other
occurred al Fresnilo, Mexico. Jacob
Valdez, a merchant and Plutarco
Margro, an attorney, had been suitors
for the hand of a young lady in that
citv. They mutually agreed to settle
their difference in the usual Mexican
way. Knives having blades three
inches long were selected. A ten
foot space was roped off and the men
went at each other. They Tough;

A recent traveller through the rural
districts of France writes thai the
country people there wea a crushed
and subdued air. The reason is that
ceaseless toll and pinclling parsimony
take all the life out of them, so there
is nothing bu5 mere existence. He
writes: "You see in their faces the
grinding care and greedy thrift which
I'LL the lives of these people. They
are not a lovely folk, these ever toll
ing French peasants. The joy seems
to have gone out OF the lives of young
and old" There is only one subject
that really awakens their interest
outside OF scraping money together,
and that is talk of war between
France and Germany. They would
give their lives as one man to fight
again and take back Alsace and Lor-
raine from Germany.

How completely anybody in this
country can become anything he OF
she chooses is shiningly illustrated in
the case of Lucy Larcom. For ten
years of her early life she worked as
an ordinary factory girl in a cotton
mill. Nothing i'm the way of humble
labor in city or country was un-
familiar to her, from milking COWS to
home dressmaking. Born and reared
thus in the school of poverty and toll.
Lucy Larcom nevertheless lived to
become a thoroughly educated, re-
fined, cultivated woman and one of
the most famous feminine poets of
her country in the nineteenth CEN
fury. The verses entitled, "Hannah
Binding Shoes" will live as long as
anything Whittier or Russell Lowell
ever wrote. Miss Larcom accom-
plished SO much simply by making
the most of the time she had and
waiting. 1t Is a lesson that all may
we'll take to heart. Ali have not Lucy
exceptional gifts, but all
can make a noble success of their
lives in some direction. The worlds
gates are wide open before us all. We
have only to choose our path and fol-
low it.
