Old Home Week Is close upOn us and
practically all preparations have been
made The railroads and steamship
lines have done their share toward max
ing the event success by their generous
reductions and the hard persevering work
of Secretary S. w. Matthews and those
assisting him will soon bear fruit
During this Old Home Week many re-
unions of Maine regiments, of families
and of classes. of churches and of schools
will occur. The fraternal organizations
are to keep open house, and women $
clubs are to entertain all visitors.
Houses will be thrown open with genuine
Maine hospitality. All who come will be
made welcome.
There is hardly a town in the State
that is not to recognize the week in some
way. Portland will lead off in the mat
ter. Bath is to have celebration of her
own, and will launch the first x-masted
schooner ever built; Bangor is to hold 4
celebration rivaling that of Portland in
Castine. Belfast. Biddc-
ford, Bar Harbor and Rockland have
planned At least one great day. Many of
the smaller towns are to have picnics
beside some pond or lake, to which all
visitors are invited.
In fact ii is the grandest week that
Maine has ever known and unless signs
are misleading there will be more visit
ors in that week than in the history of
the State.
People far and near are forming into
sets clubs will he able to make the round
trip for s., as was learned from 4 COM
from the Maine Central Rail-
road to Secretary Matthews. 1t certainly
looks as though the week will be fitting
result of the work of the Old Home
Week officials.

a bill is now being drawn for pre-

the lobbyists of the railroads in In

from this time on in fighting the
enactment OF any such laws. The In

vote for anything that will annoy a
railroad, are almost unanimously in
favor Of the movement and there Will

A SOUTHERN SCHOOL OF
TECHNOLOGY.

President Fulton, in his annual adj
dress to the Southern Educational As
ISOLATION, MS given in our dispatches
yesterday, touched upon the weakest
point in the Souths educational sys-
tenn when he said:
1.-THE greatest educational need OF the
South today is at least one institution
eminently fitted by its material equip
ment. its means of support and its en-
yironment to command and hold with
out challenge the position of leader In
technical training among the institu-
tons about it. No one of the State in
stitutions can claim that position for
our section. Each is restrained by un-
avoidable limitations in its material
foundation. it's resources or its envi-
ronment. The various efforts for the
establishment of a National University
in Washington. even il successful
would not create the Institution we
now need for giving tone and power to
technical education in our section"
This observation of President Fulton
cannot be gainsaid. In nearly, or quite
every Southern State. there are schools
mainly technical in training. They
We're established to meet n sharply felt
need and are doing excellent work so
far as they go, but without exception
they are hampered by lack of funds,
and their curricula necessarily stop
short of the highest requirements Of
the South for technically trained men.
The result is that young men from this
section who wish to take advanced
technical courses are compelled to go
to Northern schools, where the courses
are not arranged with q special view to
the industrial nerds of the South. which
are not always the same as those of
the North. Apart from this drawback,
for the student OF limited means the
mere item of travelling expenses from,
say, Atlanta to Boston is not 4 negligi-
BILE quantity. Hundreds of young men
| are thus compelled 10 go without that
| thorough technical training they could
| secure if the South had u Massachu-
sctts Institute of Technology.
| Urgent as is the need OF such an in
| stitution. however, it is likely to be
years before the South secures it.
unless some benetactor now unknown
| shall see fit to devote u few millions
| to its establishment. Nevertheless it
| is we'll that the matter should be
| agitatcd by Southern educators now;
| by and by the means will be found to
| give the project practical shape.
