SUMMER SCHOOL.
An Ellsworth Teacher Writes of the
Recent Session at Orono.

An Ellsworth Teacher Writes of the
Recent Session at Orono.
The summer school at the University
of Maine, Orono, closed Friday, July 80,
after q most successful term OF three
weeks. The number registered was l27,
and although not as many as In the pre-
ceding year, the work done has been OF
more value. The students have done
much to make the school a success in the
prompitude with which they have re-
sponded to the plans OF the instructors.
The method OF work was similar to a
school, each student having an individual
responsibility. One of the most attract
i've features, and most largely patronized,
WAS the class in music, which was led by
II. Wormsley, instructor OF music in
schools in New Hampshire and Vermont,
and also a chorus director. He was a
man OF great personal magnetism, hold
ing the undivided attention of his class
for two hour lesson. He was teacher
in every sense OF the word, being easily
understood, and very systematic in his
teaching. He teaches the American
system by Prot. F. zuchtman.
The common school studies were con-
Quoted by J. K. Potter. superintendent Of
schools in Walpole, Mass. He was form
erly teacher in the Castine normal
school. He presented his work in very
interesting way, using the ackboard
freely in illustration OF his subjects
Every student must have felt repaid for
the time given to his instruction.
Prot. f. l.. Harvey, OF the University of
Maine, had a class in natural history, and
Mr.. Colby Of the same university, taught
in the laboratory department. Miss Hal
liday, of the Gorhsm normal school, had
the class in drawing.
Prof A. +. Rogers (who, by the way, is
an Ellsworth boy taught psychology,
ciyics and literature. Too much cannot
be said in his praise for his devotion to
the promotion OF education. He is a
whole-souled altruist.
At the end OF the sess ion an associat ion,
having forty seven charter members, WAS
formed. 1t is known as the Maine
teachers civic league. The purpose Of
this association is to further the knowl-
edge OF civics among the people, its OBJ
Iective point being to introduce the study
into the common schools OF this State.
All are invited TO membership, but more
especially the teachers. Prof, Rogers was
elected president, and Miss Bertha Bird,
OF Belfast, secretary.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
HOW TO FIND OUT.

+ III bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours; sed
iment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition OF the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and bad-
der are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part of the urinary passages. 1t corrects
ina bility to hold urine and scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects following use
Of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity OF being COM
PEELED to get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect:of swamp Root is soon
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need medicine you should
have the best. Sold by druggists, price
fifty cents and one dollar. You may
have a sample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mail. Mention THE Ellis
WORTH AMERICAN and send your address
to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y.
The proprietors of this paper guarantee
the genuineness Of this offer.

Wherefore and whence cometh these
filings at our place of amusement and
recreation, Columbia hall. Is it not the
largest, smoot hest, most commodious hall
for a social hop in this town? Has ii not
been thronged with many a jolly crowd
during past year, and don't they come
and keep coming? Our neighbors at
Southwest Harbor, tired with the monot-
ony and dizziness of their weary lives, are
glad 10 come over here. Forgetting the
tolls OF the day and the place memorable
circumstances compel them to live in,
they enjoy themselves and are made most
welcome. Its "massive walls" serve the
best of purpose: not to fill the heavens
with admiration, but to make this world
trif1e more liveable.

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add all inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Nigor. Il re-
moves dandruff, clcanseS the
scalp, nourishes the soil III
which the hair grows, and,
Just as a desert will blossom
under rain, 50 bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. II you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
