"There are 5000 school teachers in the
State and each one has to be recorded, {"
said the clerk in the educational depart
ment to the Journal, Saturday What is
the reason Maine hasn't enough teachers?
A letter is being sent out from the
school department IN relation to the sum
mer schools for teachers These schools
will be held at Fryeburg, Northport and
Foxcroft campmeeting grounds Possibly
schools will be held at Orono and Turner
These schools are intended to give in
struction in music, physical culture, draw
ing, civics, the common English branches,
nature studies and child study and to ex-
emplify the methods used in the best
schools. There will be no charge for tut
tion. Board can be obtained at low prices
Those who desire to board themselves
can rent cottages on reasonable terms
The railroads will make special rates to
members of the school.
The instHctors will be specialists wao
will give in few weeks some of the win
moved wisdom the years have taught them.
Such school must be an inspiration to
every earnest teacher. The instruction
that will be given must broaden and de-
velop every faithful teacher. To associate
with the best teachers, to come in con-
tact with their personality and to study
their methods strengthens and improves
the inquiring mind.

Ups and Downs OF Liie."

"The Ups and Downs of Lifo' is tho
title of Oliver Byron's new play, which
possesses considerable merit, being full of
originality, attractive and romantic situa-
tions and beautiful scenery. 1t ranks
among the best of our modern dramas and
will bc given by Mr.. Byron ut the Opera
house, on Thursday evening, April 18th.
The author has shown himself to be II
student Of nature, with Il capital knowi-
edge of the fobles, virtues and idiosyncra-
cics of humanity. All the characters arc
modelled from life and in the plot there is
no sacrifice of possibility as there is in
most conventional drama, to secure effect.
The effect is there, but it emanates from
situations which are based upon reality,
and not artiiiciality. This feature en-
hances the production considerably. tt
The sale of seats will open Tuesday,
April 9th.

about four miles altogether. and 1t was
accomplished in less than a quarter Of

himself to reach the nearest shore. and

Rev. Louis Archer. of Battle Creek,
according to a dispatch in q Chicago
paper, is in trouble. And the charge
against him is kissing Mrs. John IL.
Waters violently. forcibly and against
her will. The minister in his own be
half admits that he kissed Mrs. Waters.
but adds that it was 'merely the kiss
Of sanctitication." OF course if the
clergyman can convince a Michigan
jury that he has a new brand of OScu-
latiOn which can be used without any
harmful effects he may get off scot
free. But we advise him to exercise q
wise discretion in Introducing his new
tangled kiss. There is danger in SOW
ing any sort of kiss broadcast. The
kiss of sanctitication" may do the re-
cipient no harm. She may even like it.
But an emotional. nervous. muscular
husband is quite likely to distinguish
no difference between the kiss of
sanctification'' and the o~ld-fashioned
kiss which keeps our divorce courts
busy. And before the minister can eX-
plain the difference he Is liable TO have
his eyes blackencd. his nose broken
and a handful of teeth knocked out.
We believe Brother Archer would do
well to keep his kiss of sanctitication'
for home consumption.

The purpose and effect of the new IL

islature Of Illinois is to remove the in
ference OF malice from a newspaper
publishing Il libel through mistake or
misrepresentation of the facts where.
on the truth being presented to it, Il
correction or retraction is printed as
conspicuously as the libel. 1t does not
relieve a newspaper from liability for
actual damages caused by a libel. but
only from those exemplary or punitive
damages which have followed from the

lectly in line with the constitution of
