STATE CATTLE CONDEMNED.
Entire Herd Of Holsteins At Insane
Hospital to Be Destroyed.

State of Maine Cattle Commission,
consisting Of Frank S. Adams. of Bow
dom. F1avius o. Beal of Bangor and
John NJ. Deering of SacO, and the
board of trustees of the Insane hoSpl-
tails. which was held at the Augusta
institution Thursday, on the matter of
tuberculosis in the hospital herd OF
cows. it was decided that the better
course to pursue was to have all of the
animals destroyed, and the work will
probably commence today.
This herd numbers 153 animals, in
Guiding cows and yearling stock, and
is one of the finest herds of Holsteins
in the State The herd was recently
tested for tuberculosis and the MAORI
ty of the animals We're found to be af-
fcctcd. ana while quite a number did
not react when the test was applied it
was deemed for the best to destroy all
of the animals. thoroughly fUnigate
the barns and then purchase Il new
herd
Tho herd has supplied the milk for
the hospital. but as il has for the past
three Years been Pastuerized before be-
ing used there has been no danger Of
transmitting the infect ton in that way
The work Of destroying the cattle
will be done by men in the employ of
the commission and will he carried on
gradually until all have been killed. The
carcases viii be disposed of by being
sent to Portland where they will be
rendered.

A PUBLIC MEETING
Held Saturday to Consider Interests Of
the Cony High School.

A public hearing was held Saturday
afternoon at the Cony High school to
afford the people of the city who arc
interested in its work an opportunity
to present their views upon its present
condition and future needs. All the
members Of the school board were pres
EFT as well as a number of Well-knoWn
citizens. The discussion that occurred
was participated in by Rev. Mr.. Dun
mack. Edgar 5. Turner. Judge A. G.
Andrews. DR.. w. L. Thompson. Claude
w. Townsend, Principal Marshall and
Hon. Lendall Titcomb of the school
board
Some facts were speedily developed
which should be known and considered
by all the citizens of Augusta. The pres
ent COnY High school building when it
was first constructed, afforded accom-
modations for 81 pupils. The present
year it started out upon it's work with
20S pupils. 1t is evident therefore that
the facilities of the building are con-
Sested and that under present condi-
tons there can be no further broaden
ing out of the courses. There has been
Tor several years past a growing desire
upon the part of citizens to have an
English course embodying at least an
elementary commercial training. This
much it is felt is due the pupils who do
rot go TO college, and who constitute
by far the larger part of the school
membership. To these pupils the High
school is the end of educational work
and it is felt by many of our citizens
that the courses there should be so ar
ranged as to furnish them with some
measure of equipment for the practi-
cal WORK Ot life.
It is evident, however that any move
mcnt in this direction must first be pre-
coded by AN enlargement of the present
outgrown school building. That this
fact is generally recognized by our cit
liens was evidenced by the very large
petition presented to the board by Ed
gar S. Turner. This petition was very
generally signed by the business men
of our city. 1t asked the school board
to place before the city government the
needs of an enlarged High school build
ing to the end that those broader
courses of study may be provided whose
aim is to fit the youth whose school
ing is not to extend beyond our city
for the practical work of life. The
strong feeling for this broadening out
of our High school courses was made
very evident and somewhat emphatic
10y the speakers at Saturdays meeting.
1T was made very evident by the re-
marks of Principal Marshall that the
first and absolutely essential thing to
be done if the school courses were to
be broadcncd out, was to enlarge the
present oyer-crOWded building. The fact
was brought out that the present city
government had appropriated $3.50 for
securing plans for the enlargement Of
the present High school building and 1t
was voted to have these plans in readi-
ness to put before the new city gov
eminent in April.

say, completed half its journey. Even

work before it, vast amount of priv
ate and special legislation was sent

the Governor for his signature This
is evidenced by the fact that the sig

been placed upon 40 resolves, 75 priv
ate and special laws and IS public laws,
up to this date. This amount of legiS-
latlon covers a great range of subjects
and has received due consideration at
its various steps
Just what view the executive depart-
ment will take of the recent invcstiga
ton of the department of education. is
OF course. not known, but if vacancy
occurs at its head, there is no danger
of the position going by default. Prof,
Johh r. Moody of Auburn. principal of

ed candidate and has been for some

not do away with the office of State
