State Superintendent of Schools W. W.
StetsOn was in Norway, Monday, attend
ing To the opening Of the summer school
there; he passed through the city Mon
day evening bound for Waterville. where
he will attend the summer school this
week, returning to Norway next week.
Superintendent Stetson will speak on the
subject of Art twice each day, using
charts to illustrate his lectures.
The school at Norway opened up well
with a large number of teachers in at
tendance and plenty of enthusiasm. Tie
summer schools are growing fast and
teachers who do not avail themselves of
the opportunities offered by them and
other institutes will be left behind in the
race The esprit du corps is a result of
the fact that it is all voluntary. 1t is
the same with the State examinations; /;
they are not compulsory, although some
towns are requiring State certificates
now. Superintendent Stctson has never
favored a compulsory State examination,
thinking that more good would result if
they were voluntary. But wide awake
teachers will avail themselves of these
opportunities, although some are so sit
uated that they can not.

Such things as this are the result of
the publication of reports from unauthor-
itltive sources, leading to much anxiety
and even suffering. Many letters from the
Philippines have been written for the
purpose of pushing the writer into prom
inence; a good instance was cited by
General Richards yesterday. 1t seems
that a civilian employed at some work
in the Philippines wrote a letter home
telling how he was having everything all
his own way; that the officers did just
as he told them. There are people ready
to believe such things because they do
not know any better. .I have noticed
that the Journal is careful about publish
ing such communications, and | am glad
ii is So" said General Richards.

is faster sidewalk he can take. one
going at the rate of three k,lometars
an hour. and the other at the rate of
six kilometcrs. These moving side
walks will be raised some seven feet
above the ground level and carefully
banked up on either side by turf and
nordered by rows of shrubs and flowers.
The route of these moving sidewalks in
making their two mile circuit of the

will be able to carry 5000 passengers
an hour. The system adopted was Sc

dozens of novel transportation schemes
submitted to them. The system has al

Clichy, suburb OF Paris, and was

Just how great will be the number OF
visitors 10 the exposition ii is OF course
now impossible to say. 1t is worth
while remembering. though. that the
number that visited the last Paris ex
position was officially returned as over
100000.
AS the date for the opening comes
nearer and nearer the possibility for
any great international complication
that might interfere with the attend
ance at the huge fair grows more and
more remote. 50 it is quite safe to as
sumo that the enormous figures of the
