moral plane and make them better future
citizens.
Some Of the criticism is founded on an
exaggerated idea of the purpose Of the
school. Some people look upon it as the
sole agency by which the crooked are TO
be made straight, the hayward good, the
blind to see, the moral virtues inculcated,
and the millennium to be ushered in. They
forget the important part which the home
and environment Of the child must play
IN his development and blame upon the
school all the imperfecions Of his char
acter
Another source OF criticism is the d.
versity Of opinion which exists concern
ing the course of instruction to be fol-
lowed in our schools. Some insist that
the studies shall be entirely scholastic
IN their nature; others that they should
be largely practical or industrial. Some
Of our educational theorists have at
tempted to estimate the relative educa-
tional value Of the various branches of
study.
Others again fail to realize the educa-
tional demands Of our modern civiliza-
ton. They remember the methods by
which they We're themselves instructed
and think that these should still be fol-
lowed, forgetting the conditions of the
present day require a broader education
and higher training than did those of
half century ago.
In a general way the public may ex-
pect from the public schools results in
proportion to the money which they give
to their support, and the interest, sym
pathy and cooperation wlic hthey man
ifest in their welfare.
In any line of business or industry the
use of inferior materials and the en-
ployment of second-rate workmen will
inevitably produce inferior results, and
so If board of directors. in mistaken
sense of economy, employ a cheap teach
er and fail to provide modern apparatus
they must expect inferior results.
The course Of instruction in our
schools has the fault of being too mar
row and mechanical. There is too little
opportunity to implant seed thoughts in
the growing mind of the child. The
true function Of education is to develop
the child's powers. To this end a great
number of different subjects must be
studied. A child's nature is exceedingly
complex and contains many different
faculties and powers. which all supple
ment, support and strengthen each 9TH
er, and all must be symmetrically devel-
oped
1t is sometimes asked if a higher order
of animal than man will ever appear
on the earth. In all the past stages OF
the development Of the earth whenever
the Improvement of the conditions Of ex-
istence made a higher order Of life pos
sfble a higher order of animals was pro-
duced to utilize those conditions. But
a higher order than man Will never be
produced, because it IS not necessary.

rsrrcrAL 10 THE rnEss.1

wiscasset, June Gone OF the largest
and most hotly contested Republican
caucuses ever held in this town was that
OF this afternoon for the choice OF dele
gates to the county and state conventions.
The interest conferred in the selection of
the towns representatives in the county
convention. There is lively contest in
progress between DIR. @. A. Peaslee of
this town. and Hon. Orriu McFadden of
Dresden for the senatorial nomination,
and the contest today was waged between
the friends OF the two candidates. There
were three factions In the caucus. There
were the Peaslee men, the supporters OF
Frank Creamer, ex-clerk of courts, who
are seeking supremacy in town affairs
independent of the senatorial matter,
and the party headed by Hon. Alonzo
Nickerson Of Boothbay Harbor, who are
favorable to the candidacy of Judge Nc
Fadden. The Peaslee men won out to-
day electing their ticket which Is COM
posed of the following delegates: Elmer
son Hilton, Edgar J. Bailey, Charles IL.
Taylor and Joseph II. Greenleaf. Besides
supporting DIR. Peaslee these gentlemen
will aid the canvass of HI. W. Halves

THE so. BERWICK MURDER
Another Adjournment Of the Coroner's
Inquest Saturday.

South Berwick. June 9.-The coroner's
jury in the Sprague murder case resumed
its labors today, but again postponed It's
sessions, the next sitting being filed for
June 16. 1t was officially given out yes
terday that the jury would render a
sealed verdict today, but the unexpected
again happened and another postpone
ment was announced. County Attorney
Matthews, when questioned as to why the
jury failed to render a verdict, said that
he had been so busy with cases before the
Supreme court that he had not time to
devote to the Sprague inquest. He was
not certain that verdict would be rem
dered as the next session.
Samuel Locke, the employer of the muir
dered woman land Edwin II. Knight,
were before the jury today and gave fur
ther testimony. 1t is the opinion among
the townspeople that the inquest win be
allowed to drag along until just before
the September term of the Supreme court
convenes, when the jury will announce
its finding and an arrest be made.

UNIVERSITY OF MAINE.
The Annual Commencement Exercise,
Began Yesterday.

Orono, Me-, June 10 The graduating
class Of University Of Maine with its
friends from many parts of the state,
gathered in the town hall tonight and
listened to the baccalaureate sermon de-
livered by Rev. George l.. Hanscom Of
Newark, n. J., class of 'S5. This was
the first time an alumnus was honored
in an invitation to address a class as the
baccalaureste preacher.
Mr.. Hanscom took as his subject MAN
hood After reading appropriate scrip
ture passages, he applied his subject In
these words, in part:
Manhood is the result of choosing and
striving to attain to correct ideal.
A responsible man Is one who commits
himself to high ideal. Capability is one
of the essentials to a reliable manhood.
No man becomes valuable by a simple ex-
ercise of the will. While purpose is neces-
sary, 1t is not sufficient. In order that
man may know he is depended upon, he
must show that he Is able to guide and
direct his powers and concentrate his
energies.
Purpose is not the only element Of de-
termination. Faith Is another. A man
with high purpose and strong faith is Of
necessity a determined man, able to con-
tend with trials and universities Of life.
Faith is the gracious opposite Of doubt.
Faith indeed brings the victory.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole
matter. Fear God and keep his COM
mandments, for this Is the whole duty of
man. -

MEMORIAL SUNDAY
Observed ~ Portland veteran Firsmsr
Yesterday.

Yesterday was one Of the days Of the
year that Is looked forward 30 with bright
anticipation by the several Veteran Fire
mems Associations of New England.
What the last sunday in May as Memorial
Sunday has become 10 the Veterans OF the
Civil war the second Sunday in June has
become 10 the veterans Of the olden time
before fighting connagrations had become
a science, with all the modern appliances.
The Portland vete rams, the Ladies'
Auxiliary and the invited public met yes
terday afternoon at their spacious quar-
ters, corner OF Spring and South streets
for the annual services. The large hall
had been tastefully decorated by members
OF the auxiliary, with cut flowers 70 ar
ranged as to present an enchanting
scene, and one highly appreciated by the
large audience present. Promptly at three
o clock the services opened with a song
service which was entered into and
heartily enjoyed by the veterans and the
audience present. Rev. s. +. Pearson
gave the annual sermon and selected as
his text for the occasion first Corinthians,
10th chapter, 18th and 14th verses
Watch ye, stand fast In the faith, quit
you like men, be STRONG. let all your
things be done with charity" From these
words the speaker painted many beautiful
word pictures Of the watchfulness, vigil
ance, and alertness, with which the long
and varied experiences in their callings
had made them heroes In themselves. and
honored members Of the community where
they were best known and respected, for
their many deeds OF valor often accom-
plished under the most trying and danger
Gus circumstances. The very fact that
you are bound together in the association,
for mutual improvement, for the support
of the needy, the consolation Of the suffer-
ing, and for the moral elevation Of the
associates, at once presents to our citi-
zens the strong and lasting desire Of every
veterans heart that he may quit himself
in the highest type Of noble manhood.
silver chord of fraternal feeling that is
always manifest, when veteran fireman
meets veteran, Is the direct outgrowth of
the affections of the hearts Of true com
partnership, welded together by the heat
OF fiery conflicts when life and property
are at stake. May this golden rope OF
charity ever and always exist in this life,
and only be made stronger In eternity by
a better and more intimate acquaintance
with Him who VIII say '.well done,
when our last ''all OUT shall be pulled
in.
At the close of the address Mr.. A. j.
Cummings made some feeling remarks
and announced that the association were
to take a collection for the charity work
of the Gospel Mission. "Blest Be the Tie
that Binds was sang by the audience
and the collection of 50 was announced.
The services closed with the benediction
by Rev. Mr.. Pearson.
After the services the fine quarters OF
the Portland Veteran Firemen's associa
ton was inspected by a large concourse
of people.

A BIDDEFORD CASE.
Liquor Selling on Sunday ana the Pre-
hIbfsioa Law.
tsrscrAL 10 THE rn,sss

Biddeford, June Civilian Minnehan
of this city, who has been In the York
county jail several weeks, serving SEN
tence on two search and seizure cases, and
had about six months more time to serve,
has been discharged by order OF Judge
Fogler Of the Supreme court.
Two liquor seizures had been made In
Minnehan's dwelling, both on Sundays,
one Of them on a search warrant issued
by the court on Sunday, and the other
without a warrant, the necessary docu
ment being sworn out the following day.
Minnehan's counsel petitioned for his
discharge, claiming that the Municipal
court had no right to issue q dwelling
search warrant on Sunday, and that offic-
ers have no right to search any man 8
dwelling without q warrant, on Sunday
or any other day.
Judge Fogler sustained both of these
contentious, and ordered Minnehan's re-
lease from jail. This ruling has created
considerable talk here. In most manu-
featuring cities of the state considerable
liquor selling in dwellings Is indulged In
and under the new ruling the searching
of these dwellings for liquors on the Sab
bath is not likely to be resorted to by
local officers or deputy sheriffs.
