SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
At the opening Of the afternoon session
Saturday, State Superintendent Smith
continued his replies to the .question
box" which be had taken up in the morn
ing. Many Of the questions asked were
interesting, and Supt. Smiths replies
showed not only that he was well versed
in matters Of school law and government,
but that he was familiar with the every
day problems Of the school room, and
ready with valuable advice clearly put.
His address on possibilities Of the
Country School" was an encouragement to
teachers to persist in their efforts to make
the school and school work more attractive,
to hold their pupils in the higher grades,
and arouse in them a desire for higher
education in university or college.
The sessions closed with an address
by Supt. F. E. McGouldrick, OF the Blue
hill, Brooklin and Sedgwick district, on
Government in Maine Schools, in which
he gave much practical advice on how to
and how not to ''govern" schools.

vention announced that an invitation had
been extended to the association to hold
its next convention in Bar Harbor, and
had been referred to the executive COM
mittee.
