The summer school at Fort Fairfield
commenced. Wednesday. This school
differs from the others, as the course
Of instruction consists of teaching sub
iects instead of talking methods. The
attendance is limited to 80. and nearly
that number registered at the opening.
Supt. Stetson is much pleased that
the state is so well represented at the
summer school at Yale University,
which opened Thursday morning. He
thinks that the newspapers of the
State have done more than anything
else in bringing about a better Senti-
ment for schools. inasmuch as they
have published large amount of mat
| ter. thus keeping the subject before
| the public.
In connection with the large amount of
business which is annually done in Maine.

for the number Of corporations, he has

that about 80 per cent. die ont after one

| With the recent change in the cor

| thought that the good days for Maine
corporation making were over. but this
has not been the case as just as many
companies are being organized in
Maine as ever. and Kittery gets more
than It's share. One reason for this is
that tn" state tax in Massachusetts is
high compared with that i'm Maine

| Most Of til" companies organized at

holders. if there be any. All that is
necessary is that the person wishing to
form corporation should send the
proposed name OF the company. its
capitalization and its purpose to any
Maine notary and in few days he will
