Consolidation Of Schools.

1.-THE consolidation of schools is the
only solution of the country school prob
lem. BY loaning money to consolidated
school districts for building purposes by
the State at a low rate will make the sue
cess of the new system a certainty. At
present time and money are both wasted.
SiXty-hve per cent. of the population of
the United States live in the country. To
keep them there we must make it possible
for them to have the advantages of good
schools for their children. The country
boy is just as good as the city boy. Then
why make such difference in the way
we educate them? The old system must
be changed The State must educate all
the people. not to save the people, but
to preserve the commonwealth.
"Our present system is defective in
other respects. The school law provides
that each district shall raise at least Si6O
(for each district for colored children $500,
and if it does not raise the full amount,
the State appropriation for such dis
trlct is withheld. Under the law it is pos
sible to deprive tie children of a district
of their right to seven months of school.
If by neglect or otherwise the clerk fails
to collect the proper amount of taxes The
law also requires that a school shall be
kept open at least 40 days, or lose It's
State apportionment for the next school
year. Smallpox. scarlet fever, or other in
fection or contagious disease may rob the
children of their privileges. The illness
of the teacher may do the same. The
county commissioners of each county
should have the power to reinstate such
school before the State treasurer makes
the apportionment of the school funds"
Superintendent Should Have Office.
For some reason the county superin-
tendent Of this county, at least, has no
office. He should have one with the neces-
sary furniture. This should be the meet
ing place Of the county school commits
sioners, and all school records should be
kept there. The county commissioners as
well cs the county superintendents should
receive more compensation for their SER
vices. Those who are guardians Of the ed
ucational interests of the State should be
paid Just as literally as those serving the
commonwealth in other capacities. The
treatment Of this officer is not liberal to
say the least. He is prohibited by law
from engaging In any other business, a
restriction put upon no other county or
State officer, so far as / know. He is al
lowed no Office room, no desk no tele-
phone. no typewriter, and has his own
travelling expenses to pay.
II sent out two or three thousand pieces
of mall yet 1 waited one year to get my
stamp bill paid Each county superinten-
dent should be allowed a liberal amount
for expenses. The $3.50 granted for the ex-
penses of conducting teachers lnsti-
tute is too small to permit him employing
the best talent, and is quite inadequate
when hall rent has to be paid. His salary
is no larger than that received by some
of the lady principals in the public schools

Staff Aid is Needed.

Last year eight or nine young people
received state aid at some college or
normal school This is a slow process.
Many who are now teaching would like
TO take advantage of the law allowing
state aid, but they cannot afford to stop
teaching for a year or more. However, if
they could receive State aid during their
summer vacation many Of the teachers
would take advantage of the numerous
summer schools, which are usually in ses-
sion for five weeks A tuition OF 50 per
week would induce the teachers TO avail
themselves of these educational advan-
tages."
Mr. spaid declared that the present
school system was far from being salts
factory and on this subject he said:
AT present the school district is a
power unto itself. although largely sup
ported by the State. The voters in the
district are supposed TO elect three COM
missioners, although two or three persons
frequently do the voting. These commits
sioners employ the teacher, their selection
not always being well made. The county
superintendent Is seldom consulted in the
matter Some OF the commissioners seek

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Holl'ngworth & Whitney Waterman
Prevents Safe Being Robbed.

An attempted burglary was made 4
the office of the Hollingworth & Whit
neE Co. of Winslow, at a late hour.
Friday night, and, it is probable that.
had it not been Cor the faithful perfor-
nance of duty on the part of the
Waterman the safe might have been
robbed. The would-be robbers had sur-
ceeded in entering the building by
breaking the plate glass of the door
panel and unlocking the door on the
inside which was fastened by means
Of night latch. No other evidence WIS
found that the building had been en-
tered except the work in breaking in
10 the building. AS the men are paid
off. Friday afternoon and Saturday
morning of each week. the robbers
would have had at their disposal the
wages of the night crews. had ,hey
been given few moments of time in
which TO complete their work.
The Waterman had entered the blse
ment of the building at 10 O'Clock on
his regular beat, which was the latest
hour before the entrance was discoy-
cred. Constant attempts have since
peen made to get at some clue as to
VINO are the responsible parties. but
thus far the investigations of the Of
hcers nave been unavailing.

At THE PARK.
Arrangements Being Completed For a
Rousin9 Celebration the Fourth.

Notwithstanding the forbidding as
poet of the Overruling powers, the man.
agements of the various departments
which are to figure in the Fourth of
July celebration at the Central Maine
park, are necessarily at work on the fl
nal arrangements which the city is be-
ginning to anticipate with feelings of
just pride. The use of the Coliseum for
skating is already an assured fact as
the finishing touches are now being
made.
Five hundred dollars worth of fire.
works are now being made in readiness
for the patriotic display. AS for the
work on the race track, the association
Is doing more than justice to what it
mas advertised, free of any charge for
admission or of any cost to the indi-
vidnal except what the individual
chooses to make for himself.
To cap the climax of public interest.
President f. z. Mayo of the associa-
ton. states at this time that he has ar
ranged a 2-minute race which shall
consist of entries from Waterville and
FHirneld and which will be purely Of
local interest. The horses number sew
en- and are said to be as evenly matched
as could be selected from any horse
community in New England. The race
will be straight trot for purse of
500 given by the association and will
doubtless contribute more Of interest
to the proceedings of the day than any
other feature of the program for the
day.
The horses for this race have been
entered as follows: Bay Boy, sired by
Rayard Wilkes. owned by Ira Mitchell
OF Waterville, Lou Sterling, sired by
Sterling and also owned by Mr.. Mitch
ell; Mary Nelson, owned by the Morri-
son Stock farm, East Lvermore; Simp-
son. chestnut stallion owned by
Charles Simpson of Waterville; Louise
s., chestnut mare, also owned by Mr..
Simpson: Ace of Hearts, bay mare,
sired by Electioneer. owned by r. d.
Waite of Lewiston, and bay mare by
Wilkes, owned by Alva Bragg of Fair
field
IN addition to what has already been
said in regard to the free-for-alI race
especial attention should be given 10
the horse General Fiske, owned by w.
j. Furbush of West Newton, Mass.
which has recently arrived and which
seeems to be the admiration of the To-
cal horsemen. This horse has won in
every one of the numerous races which
ne mas trotted, this year. and is an an
maj OF brilliant promise.

For The Fourth.

No regular celebration has been ar
ranged for the observance of Indepen-
dence day and the Fourth will probably
pass off very quietly in Gardirer-or
at least, as quietly as the small boy will
permit.
The city marshal calls the attention
Of the citizens to the order the pistol
and revolver shooting will be prohibit
ed, and the explosion of fire-crackers OF
other pyrotechnics exceeding six inches
in length, or containing dynamite, Is
also forbidden.
All Of the const1bleS and regular Of
ficers will be on duty all night. tonight,
and the streets will be patrolled con-
stantly during the day of the Fourth.
CO. A will go to Skowhegan on the
early morning train and it is doubtful
if the Gardiner Band turns out for Il
concert, as it has done in some previous
years.
Those who wish for music, however
need not be disappointed, for the Ma
tional Home Band will give the usual
concert. at 4 o'clock. Tuesday after
noon. at Togus, and in the evening q
fine display of fireworks will be made.
The X. c. r. r. will run extra trains
for the Home the Fourth.
