The Town is Sleepy, Not the People

The Town is Sleepy, Not the People.
To the Editor of the PRESS
Your report in yesterdays issue of my
remarks before the committee on educa-
tioD the day before by no means does me
justice. I am there made to speak in
dispraise of Gorham and it's people, and
that. too, without any qualification.
Now, nothing is farther from the
truth. Not one word did say that re
1ected in the least on the people, Not
one of all the speakers gave such un-
qualified praise to the people--especiaNy
I. Nay. I doubt if all the speakers togeth-
er gave such an amount of laudatory
language as was expressed in my speech
before the committee in regard to the
citizens of Gorham. And then after
speaking SO much in it's favor | said. the
town, not the people, as place of bus
mess, was sleepy, yes, the land of Nod;
it.
Now It is for this very reason, and
because it is such a quiet, unassuming,
mind-the ir-own- business sort of town."
l quote my own words, that it is just
the place for the family of boarding
students.
/ say the families are "intelligent, re-
uQGu anu VIGIL cuuCdI0u, dUQ sOClhlly
qualified to make pupils feel at home"
speak of the good breeding, general in
formation and educational interest man
festel by the long established families of
Gornam."
spoke as did to aid in the revival of
business, which Gorham so sadly needs.
And the business most appropriate to
her, considering the character of her
jewellers, her dwellings, the want of
manufactures, absence of foreign popu-
lation, and the desire of SO many to en-
gage in the business, is boarding. The
delegate from Castine told me emphati-
cally that if a dormitory were offered
them, they would decline receiving it
decidedly. Why can't we have the same
privileges as Castine and Pennington?
May the season of revival speedily
come.
Respectfully,
