ADJOURNED.
Meeting Of School Superin-
tendents Comes to End.
A Profitable Session. Railroad CON-
missioners' Meeting Today.
Matters Relating to State Assessors and Other
State House Notes.

The two days session of the rural
school superintendent of the State
came TO an end about 3 O'Clock, Tues
day afternoon, in season for those at
tending to catch the afternoon trains,
West and East, for their homes.
The meeting, which, by the way.
was the first of its kind held in the
State, was in every way success.
Superintendent of Schools Stetson is
more than pleased at the outcome and
says there will surely be another one
next year and in future years A
large attendance has been the word at
all the sessions and much benefit has
been derived.
1t is indeed Il good thing for the vari-
Gus superintendent to meet annually
in this manner for the interchange of
ideas all around. Those " round the
tables" talks are productive of the best
tendents ask Mr. Stetson whenever the
occasion demands, questions pertain
ing to the school work Whenever a
knotty problem comes up. the advice
of Prof. StetsOn is asked for, which is
given with a will. DIR. Harris and Mr.
Martin of Boston. have given valuable
assistance and the pointers given by
them to the superintendent have in
deed been appreciated
The meeting, Tuesday morning,
opened at O'Clock, and was addressed
by DR.. w T. Harris, United States
quarters at Washington, and George
H. Martin, supervisor of schools at
Boston, formerly agent of the board
Of education in Massachusetts and for
a long time in charge of the rural
schools in that State.
There was fair attendance of Wis
itors who closely followed both gentle
men from the beginning to the end.
The addresses We're very excellent
ana To the point. w nat DOIn euucd-
tors don't know about schools is not
worth knowing, and to say the visitors
were pleased would be putting it in the
mildest sense of the word; they We're
simply delighted.
AT the conclusion of the remarks of
Messrs. Harris and Martin, Supt. Stet-
son made an address. after which, at
11.50, adjournment was held for dinner
until 100 o'clock.
In the afternoon, another "'round
the table talk was held and more in
formation was obtained. The visitors
speak in the strongest words of praise
of the meeting and the treatment they
received at the hands of the citizens
of Augusta.
Come again, superintendent of rural
schools You are always welcome.

The members of the State board of
assessors, Hon. Otis Hayford of Can
ton, Hon. George Pottle of Lewiston,
and Hon. w. c.. Marshall of Belfast.
held their regular monthly meeting at
the Capitol Wednesday, commencing
at A. NJ.
A grist of routine business was dis
posed of, and matters pertaining TO the
work of the department we're dis
cussed.
Mr.. Rradstreet of Gardiner, a wild
land owner, appeared before the board
to protest against the tax that had
been levied on his land in Coplin Plan
tation in Franklin county. In the part
of the plantation i'm which the land is
located it is devoid of wood while the
other part has plenty of it. Now. the
Rradstreets are taxed upon the vaiu-
alton of the plantation itself, and from
the fact that their property is stu
ated in the barren part, they protested.
The matter will be satisfactorily set
fled however, and the tax on the land
will be. lowered, it now being in the
hands of the county commissioners OF
Franklin for consideration. An act OF
the last Legislature says that in cases
of this kind the matter shall be settled
by the county commissioners pleasing
to everyone concerned.
The assessors are now busy upon the
biennial report of the department
which will be made to the Governor
and Council in December. report Is
made every year, but only once IN TWO
wears are the valuations contained
therein.
