w. w. Stetson, State superintendent
OF schools, was in Bangor, on Tuesday
afternoon, on his way from Halifax
where he attended the annual meeting
of the American Institute of Instruc-
ton. to Salem, to give an address at
the opening session of a summer
school to be held in the normal insti-
tuition Of that city. To Commercial
reporter at the western station, Mr..
Stetson said that the convention in
Halifax was successful in every way
and spoke in high terms of the hOspi-
tally which was accorded the visitors
on every side.

at the opening session and was further
honored by being chosen member of
the council. Mr.. Stetson's address, ac-
cording to the Halifax papers. was one
of the features of the convention and
all accounts spoke enthusiastically of
his remarks. The Chronicle in the

evening was Hon. w. w. Stetson,
superintendent of education for the
State of Maine. Mr.. Stetson said he

tail to the kite of eloQuenCe that had
been soaring all the evening. 1t was
always pleasant to stand at the end
of long line of big men. Maine was
left till the last because she usually
had to furnish the trains for all the
other states.

zone thing events, today, impressed
upon us that the poisonous evils of SUI
perstition and ignorance must disappear
even from the ends of the earth, and light
and civil liberty prevail. Looking down
from the boulevard of the future we
could see Old England carrying forward
this work with the United States for her
running mate" Mr.. Stetson spoke elO-
quently of the destiny of the two peo-
pies who were in reality one, his terse
sentences and the dramatic character Of
his figures of speech giving tremendous
effect to his utterances.
Immediately upon his return from Mas

work ut the various SulIlIHcI SCIoolS

to continue at various towns, already
named in the Commercial, during the

attendance for at least time at all the
sessions and in this way will have direct
supervision of the educational proceed
