Plans Tor the A. 0. U. W. Fair.

Highland Lodge. A. Q. II. W., and
Imperial Lodge, Degree of Honor, will
hold a fair, oct. p, 26 and p, in Me
oman and \. O. L. w. halls. for the
purpose of raising money to fit up AMI
furnish a suitable lodge room for the
order.
For IA years the A. o. L. w. has been
engaged in charitable and fraternal
work in Augusta, paying out to worthy
beneficiaries the sum of $4,000, and
more than $4,000 in caring for the sick
and needy, besides carrying protec-
ton of $1,000, 900 to the families of 600
members, in this city alone. While its
members have been liberal contributors
to the fairs of all other fraternities, it
has never asked of them, or the public
one dollar. Considering the great good
it has DONE and will do, for Augusta,
the order feels that it can conscien-
tiously ask of the people of Augusta
their patronage and assistance to help
make the fair a success.

I H'ls1s4ay of the National Education So
.elfty In speaking of Prof. w. w. Stet-
sons address said:
s- me next address was delivered in
polished language and concise SEN
tences. every one of which was an epi-
gram. by w. w. Stetson, State superin-
.tendent of the Maine public schools
The subject was The Educational
Outlook and it fairly bristled with
points.
We are provisional and cosmopoli-
tan, sectional and patriotic. indiyid-
uallstic and homogeneous said Super
intendent Stetson. Our provincialism
Is apparent to any one who studies per-
sons gathered in any great national as
sembly. From one section come those
who are conscious of possessing the
prestige of age and tested systems.
They know the past. delight in it's
record, and give much time to reciting
its stories. They place too high a
valuation upon what we have ard
overestimate its usefulness in doing the
work of today
superintendent Stetson gave some
attention to the character of training
mat Is given children. Parents have
been putting too much of their vitality
into their work and dissipations, he
said, and are endowing their offspring
but sparingly with this gift. The con-
troll of the children in the home has
been slight, fltful and unnatural, and
hence the greater need of firm intell:-
gence. which secures unhesitating
obedience in the schools and thus saves
authority from being defied. The de-
sire for striking apparel. the ambition
to be before the public. and the anxiety
to be entertained have become so
strong in many young people that they
have lost all sane-ideas they may have
| had of what life is
There have been too MANY centers
| around which the work of the school
| has been grouped, continued the
| speaker. we have too long miscon-
ceived the scope and purpose of the
common school. We are evidently close
| to day when We are to sober off, re-
| cover our sanity and realize that chill
| dren are injured by being rushed
through things and rushed from one
| thing to another. We have also been
| making the mistake of thinking that
the average child can profit by the in
tricacies of the Hegelian philosophy.
and the transccndental mysteries of
the Herbertian pedagogy, during his
| grammar school course
I've are seeking for teachers con-
tlnued superintendent Stetson, whose
manners, tone, carriage and speech are
in harmony with those found in our
cultured homes. We no longer desire a
! tyrant or look for czar. We read of
an age when it was the work of the
scholar to study books. We are endur-
ing the horrors incident to a furor
about the study of things. School
room instruction, as we'll as conception
of life. is beginning to have perspec-
tive. We are beginning to realize that
we are not educated until we. can ap-
preciate instinctively, and hence un-
consciously.

SOLDIERS ARRIVING.
Recruits from Gardiner and Rou!ton for the
Batteries Arrive, Wednesday.

The soldiers azGwith us again, and
their blue unifq hz made the streets
of the city take on the same appear
ance that they had in the month Of
May. when the two regiments were
camped at Camp Powers, only that
there are not so many soldiers now as
at that time.
Captain r. A. Jewett, Lieut.. w. A.
Whitney and 80 men all from Co. A,
Gardiner, I'd Regiment, arrived in the
camp at about 11.3O. Wednesday fore
noon, and they at once set their cooks
at work getting the MONDAY meal,
after which they pitched the tents
given them, filled the straw ticks. and
did other work necessary for their
personal comfort, and the good of the
camp. BY the time they were through
it was night.
Captain Jewett expects more men,
today, from Gardiner, as DR.. Martin
and Clerk Hussey were in Gardiner,
last evening, examining candidates for
the battery.
Major f. s. Hume Of the third bat
talon of the End Regiment, dressed as
a captain of artillery, arrived on the
afternoon train from Houlton with AZ
men from that company, and they
went at work pitching the tents that
they occupied, last night, at onle after
their arrival
These men took their marching or
ders from the war department through
Lieut.. Royden though they are not
regularly mustered into the service of
the United States. They will be given
leaves of absence from the National
Guard as their comrades of the 1st
Regiment and the battery now at Fort
Popham were given.
General f. f. Newcomb colonel elect
of the 2d Regiment is at the camp,
and is seeing that all is done as it
should he.
1t is but matter of few days be-
fore General Newcomb will receive his
commission as a major in the regular
army, in command of the Maine bat
teries, SO it is said by those who are
in Il position to know.
The third battalion suffered greatly
from the examinations. The Eastport
and Calais companies having only l.
and Is men respectively. pass the ex-
amining surgeon, who was Lieut..
Jonah of the "a Regiment. OF course
this does not include all the men who
We're with the companies at the time
they were in camp here in May, as
many of those applied and received
discharges at once. but the per cent
turned down was very large.
1t is not known yet how many of the
Machias company will pass the ex-
animation. but Captain Hume is hop
ing that there will be a good number
so that his battery VIII be quickly
filed. Yet he says that if men are
needed ne can fill his battery in "a
hours.
The Eastport and Calais men are ex-
pected, today, on the Bar Harbor ex-
press, that passes through this city
at 22S +. NJ
1t is not definitely known when the
recruits for the 1st battalion battery
The recruiting for the Bath company
will begin, today.
