No Belt Required for the Per- dess
Bicycle Pant.

Our Bicycle and Golf Pants are re-
ceiving great favor with all who have
used them.
Riders will note the advantage of
our watch pockets placed under the
fold of the pant, which makes it i'm
possible for the watch to work out.
All our pants are with reinforced
seats and are tapped throughout No
seams to chafe.
The steady increase in the sale of
Bicycle Clothing has brought about
many improvements, one of which is
the Peerless Bicycle Pant, Patented
June g. 1899 The invention does
away with belt entirely The i'm
provement consists of an adjustable
rubber attachment which is fastened
ITO each side of the pant at the hip,
and is of sufficient elasticity to allow
the body to bend easily in any direc-
ton without in the least distressing
the rider, at the same time holding the
pant in position. The adjustment
gives the rider perfect ease, absolute
comfort. and freedom to all muscular
action.
Every one who has ridden at all is
familiar with the fact that the ordi-
nary pant for bicycle wear, worn with
a belt, is continually dropping and get
ting out of place, and in all cases dis
tressing the rider. many of whom can
not wear belt with comfort The
distinctive features embraced here are
that there is no belt and no fly. fea-
lures which recommend themselves to
every one who is at all familiar with
the exercise. Thousands of riders of

shown in the superintendent meet

That the State superintendent is
working very hard, everyone knows.

tives of the various schools, recon-
mending a change of date of the
spring meeting, which was scheduled
for June IL. at Waterville. 1t turns
out that the Bowdoin examinations
occur on that day. Also Thornton
Academy has her graduation exercises
on that day, necessitating her repre-

Another matter of great importance
was that of establishing two bases OF
promotion: Firstly, that such reviews
and ranking of the same, as would
convince the child of his fitness to pro-
coed. or the necessity of his again go
ing over the work; secondly, the judg-
ment IF the teachers should be taken
into consideration, as to the wisdom
of promoting certain pupils. The
school SUPERINTENDENT is often called
upon to the use of much discretion in
these latter cases, and in making a
decision is naturally dependent, to a
great degree, upon the teachers.
These bases, when combined. form
the fairest scheme for promotion.

At yesterdays meeting there were
many interesting discussions. in which
there was a general participation. 1t
was, however, conceded by all that
there should be a numbering of grades,
from | to 9, each representing years
study. and leading up to the TIRES
hold of the high school. This means
the adjustment of all such terms as

Further than the ninth grade. that

some diversity of opinion. Some
wanted the course of numbering con-
tinued. and the four-years' course at
the high school known as grades 16,
II, II and IS, respectively; others that
they should be known as LIST high, I'd
high, etc: and many liked the classifi-
cation as at present in many cases,
by freshmen, sophomores, junior and
senior. But this discussion was in a
way irrevelent, and, for present pur-
poses, it didn't matter much what they
were called. It was the lower school
that demanded the attention.
