Tall oaks from little acorns grow"
wrote long forgotten poet who died
nearly century ago. This quotation
is apropos to the fact that from the
casual meeting of four ladies several
years ago Belfast has a public park
well underway, to say nothing of other
good work to the credit of the Belfast
improvement Society. AS matter of
local history it is worth recalling now
the origin of this association " hich has

A recent case before the municipal
court in Rumford Falls is of interest
alike to parents and educators. DR.. A.
l.. StanWoOd was taken before the court
on charge preferred by the superin-
tendent of schools that he had failed to
comply with the statuatory law in keep
ing his twelve year old daughter, Mary,
out of school. The defence claimed that
Mary was physically unable to attend
school as she was the victim of a pecu-
liar disease which DR.. Stanwood was
unable to cure. The teachers record of
Miss Stanwood's attendance was given
and the teacher testified that she con-
sidered the girl in average good health.
Judge Stearns in rendering his decision
said that according to all the statutes
governing compulsory attendance of
pupils at schools, his Interpretation was
that DIR. Stanwood had not fulfilled the
requirements in obtaining from the
superintendent of schools, the superin-
tending school committee or the teacher,
a release of his daughter from obliga-
tory attendance in the usual course by a
request and presentation of evidence
of the daughters physical condition.
Judge Stearns therefore fined the re-
spondent $50. The respondent appealed
