After Good Session.
About All National Guard Requisi,ion, Filled
New Corporations.

The summer school at Wateryille com
pleted its work yesterday after mos
successful and interesting session Tn
school has been well patropized by tn
citizens of Waterville, who have hoo,
rery generous and have doneau in tbai
power to make the stay of the teacher
in that city as pleasant as possible.
State Superintendent of Schools w. w
Stetson viii be in Norway next week, at
tending the summer school there. Mr.
Stetson's daily lectures on Art have bee,
very interesting and instructive. He ha,
always worked to interest the teacher,
| and scholars of the State in art to thai
Nlegree where they would like to see tn.
lschoolrooms made pleasant with picture,
and other decorations. and his lectures
were an effort in that direction. A nea,
well-ordered schoolroom with walls
adorned with tasty pictures has a most
healthful influence on the mind of the
pupil. and in such a room the ieportment
is better and everything more satisfactory
than in an untidy, bare-walled room. The
teachers were intensely interested with
Superintendent Stetsons lectures. and the
result is sure to be beneficial
Word comes from Searsport that the
Old Home Week celebration in that town
will be marked by monster clam bake.
Fifty bushels of clans, enough to feed
an army, will be served Friday, the day
of the celebration. Secretary of the Old
Home Week Association S. w. Matthews
has received an invitation to attend and
much as he would like to partake of some
of the clans of hospitable Searsport and
join with her citizens in the festivities. 1t
is doubtful if he can arrange so that he
can attend.
Tickets for the Rockland celebration
will be limited for return the 1lth instead
of the 9Th. as was announced in yester-
days paper.
About all the acquisitions for the Ma
tional Guard have been filled and the
commissary supplies have been arranged
for. Adjutant General Richards arranged
that this work should be done as early as
possible in order to make it more conven-
lent to execute the mountain of work
that came later. These are very busy
days at the adjutant generals office.
Board of Health. has received a telegram
from the Lowell board of health regard
ing the smallpox suspect at Grand Isle.
1t confirmed what DIR. Young and the
health officers at Grand Isle had already
gathered that the woman left her hus-
band at Lowell before he was taken Ill
and therefore there is no possibility of
danger from that source.
