a case of binding by rice-throwing
was reported. The custom which has
the canons innocent appro, al is some
what silly. The cencn confesses to
having more tran once tied a shoe to
the "aVlc .rse at the back of the car
riage so that the spectators along
the route might enjoy the fun" The
device Is certainly safer than throw
ing shoes promiscuousiy; and IL 1t
amuses the canon without harming
anybody no one will complain.
TASTE or ARTISTIC DECORATORS.
What a feeling of rivalry would ex-
ist in the bosoms of our colonial fore
fathers. the several Louises, Napoleon
and other notables for whom the ar
tistic furniture and house decorations
of the day are named, could they step
together into an up-to-date goth cen
tury residence and behold the splen-
dor therein Each would undoubtedly
feel that in the reproduced furniture
of his day Is embodied all that is
beautiful and artistic, and each would
be justified in this belief, for the house
furnishings of the different epochs, as
reproduced today, represent art and
beauty t1 a marked degree, says the
PittsburG Dispatch.
To those who admire straight, stiff,
but withal beautiful effects, the colo
nial. empire and Napoleon furnishings
appeal, while the lover of soft grace
full folds in draperies and the furni-
ture whose every line represents grace,
turns instinctively to the Louises-the
XIV and XVI. respectively.

| too much and do far too much, unconscious
ly perhaps, of the reciting. So far as the
pupil is concerned the too free use of slang
is hindrance to the art of expression and
he considers the leading of pupils to give
up so much of the slang language, scientific
| moral training. The teaching of morals
and manners should be done at home and
thus leave school life free for the studies
belonging to it. Individual teaching must
count for most. Too much stress is laid on
professional training He would have less
method and more knowledge of human ma
ture. Pupils should read for enjoyment
and recreation as well as profit The good
teacher is himself student and must of
necessity impart enthusiasm to his pupils.
Supt. Stetson gave an address explaining
the financial standing of the schools in
Maine, number of pupils registered, number
of schools and teachers and the amount of
money used for the support of the schools.
AT the close of his address he spoke of a
certain so-called educator who advocated
the use of slang in the school room, and of
the unconscious reply by Prof. Roberts in
his address. At his suggestion the teachers
of Waldo County took a rising vote con-
demning the use of slang in the schoolroom.
The Saturday morning session opened
with prayer by Rev. W. A. Luce.
State Supt. Stetson gave an excellent ad-
dress on the "Duty of the School to the
Parents He would have parents more in
touch with the schools and more conversant
with the financial condition of both town
and State. Parents should see that a dol
lars worth of service is rendered for every
dollar paid.
An animated discussion on the "Advan-
tages and Disadvantages of the Glass Sys-
tenn of Instruction and Recitation was
opened by Supt. Dunton and followed by H.
f. Ellis, Miss Bertha |. Bird and Supt
Stetson. Many points of interest were
brought out and the summing up seemed a
decision that a judicious combination of
class and individual instruction is the most
feasible plan.
H. c. Buzzell of Monroe gave talk on
''The Need and Advisability of Adopting
Courses of Study for Ungraded Schools"
after which a short business session was
held and the following resolutions adopted
Whereas, The present meeting of the
