location Of this building. which have
been made the subject Of much acrlm-
onious debate and upon which the local
attorneys differ widely. The cost or
building the foundation and grad
ing the lot was considerably less
than expected, being $3.50. The school
committee has now reached point
where the action of the citizens Is mn
perative, as the building cannot be
erected until more money is raised.
So many High schools are adopting
commercial courses that public school
officials and teachers agencies are
having great difficulty in securing a
sufficient number Of desirable candi-
dates to meet the demand. In order
to meet this need the East Maine Sem
mary at Bucksport has started a
training course for commercial teach
ere which has the double value of
preparing one to take an office posi-
ton, or if inclined to teach, to take
a good position in the business de-
partment of our best high schools. In
view of the opportunities offered and
the higher salaries paid for this class
of teachers. doubtless many public
school teachers will be interested to
take up this kind of training. Pen
manship. bookkeeping. shorthand,
typewriting and associated branches
are in the course. Teachers may elect
such branches as they prefer. The
training comprises the regular work in
psychology. history of education
school law, methods, and practice
