A Communication.

Editor kennebec Journal:
l understand ii is the intention of the
management of our city schools the
High school eXcepted to give the
scholars only one weeks vacation this
spring, instead of two, as is usual
The reason reported for this change is
that on account of losing 50 much time
the past winter, they cannot make up
the lessons otherwise.
Now, as a parent of several scholars
| protest against this. to my mind, I'M
wise course. | think two weeks is
little enough rest for scholars who at
tend school thirty-siX weeks in the year
divided into three long terms. This
is the hardest time Of year for the
children. They are confined indoors
large part of the time and do not get
the outdoor exercise that they secure
in the fall and summer If there is any
season of the year that they need two
weeks vacation more than another il
is at this time when we all feel lassi-
tude experienced at no other season Of
the year. Were it necessary, | should
much rather my children had
the two weeks rest and then
worked little harder each
ddy " lHdht VI lllt loSl ltSSbnS.
But is it necessary? Several weeks
each year are devoted to graduation
exercises Of our grammar School--to
my way of thinking an entirely I'M
necessary and arduous task for both
teachers and scholars. When
scholar reaches the limit of all our
schools and completes his or her school
life. there seems to be a reason for
event. | can see that by having
graduation honorS to look forward to
it encourages many to pcrscVere to the
end who might otherwise drop out
during the last few terms but why
we should do this in our grammar
grade. when it merely marks the pass
ing from one grade into another, | can
not understand. We are croWding our
scholars more and more every year.
Every term sees some new study or
some branch of studies added to the
list. AS to whether this is not sacri-
ficing the fundamental and necessary
studies to the unnecessary, ! will not
mere argue, but the effect is certainly
to crowd the teachers and scholars
more and more, and, in my judgment,
it would be much better to sacri-
flee some of the unnecessary work and
show at the end of the year than to
cut our already too limited vacations.

good show of getting it if Tallouse
were out of the way.
In the petition for pardon Judkins
claims that he is innocent OF the deed
and that new evidence has been dis
covered to prove his claim OF lnno-
cence.
A date for the hearing will be set
