Hoyt A. Moore, of Ellsworth, formerly
principal OF Ellsworth high school, but

Importance which the school occupied
with the home and the church, in
education. In closing he complimented
State Superintendent Stetson on his work
in the schools Of Maine, and told OF an
incident which was a magnificent COM
pliment to Names school system. AT a
school convention in Connecticut a man
familiar with schools throughout the
country made the remark that the boys
and girls from Maine who entered COL
lege, were better prepared than those
from any other section of the country.
Supt. Stetson responded happily to the
welcome, praising the teachers for the
interest shown by SO large an attendance
at the opening OF the school, and COM
plimenting the teachers of Maine as a
whole for the work they were doing. He
summarized the purposes of the summer
school thus briefiy-"to find out what is
to be taught and how better to teach it,"

Mr.. Blykins' wife had looked at him
long time In silence before she OK
claimed, with Il trcmor of pathos i'll her
voice:
Am ! ever so very cross, dcarY'
81 don't know what so very cross is"
answered her husband. "You amt any

You can he just as prompt in getting
back with pungent rcpartec rs any

but I'm never scold, am II" she
persisted npprchcnsivcly.
"Whats worrying you, anyhow he

uneasy and DISCONTINUED because I'm not
loading you with rcproaches and harsh
cpithctsY
"No But was reading about Nan
tippc and Socrates today, and | should
dislike to resemble Nantippc."
That's it," he CALCULATED. Jump at
conclusions. Take it for granted that
she was all in the wrong. Everybody
that has ever lived since her day has
heavcd rock at the lady. Don't you
spare her"
"But, you know
"No, don't know. and neither do you

Socrates on the back and call him n good
fellow, while his wife was staying at
home tending to the family troubles.
What did he ever do? From all | can
hear, Socrates wouldn't have turned his
hand over to keep Nantippe from doing
her own Homework and taking in board
ers. He merely went around town talk
ing wise and affecting to despisc money
He used to loaf around the market place
passing out conversation and thinking
he was the greatest man on earth, while
Xantippe was bargaining for provisions
at Il stall around the corner. | defy you
to find any place in history where he
cut the grass in the front yard or white
washed the cellar. My chvalrous nature
revolts at the injustice that has been
hcaped upon that woman all these cen

the eternal truth once in awhile, it was
for his own good. | don't pretend to
know the exact merits of the Anglo oer
