U. Of NJ. Summer school.


Through the cooperation Of the State
department of public instruction with
the authorities OF the State university,
arrangements have been made whereby
teachers who attend the summer session
of the university may obtain q certificate
stating the courses they have completed
and the credits given for each course.
These certificates will be signed by the
president OF the university and the State
superintendent OF public instruction.
The names OF these teachers and the
courses taken will be kept on file at the
Office OF the State superintendent, and
will doubtless be Of great value to those
teachers in Maine who possess them.
Hereafter no work will be given in the
summer schools conducted by the State
department OF public instruction along
the line OF secondary subjects, but am
pie provision will be made for instruction
in these subjects at the university.
State Superintendent Smith will be q
member Of the teaching staff Of the sum
mer term, and will give course OF lee
lures on "Superintendence". These lee
lures and the regular courses oner ed by
DIR. Davidson, OF the department OF edu-
cation, should prove attractive to large
number of Maine teachers.

Steep1e lacking Dead Easy.

The work Of the steeplejack is greatly
overrsted, and the courage of the individ-
ual is not what it is cracked up to be. An
old sailor said to me last night: "There's
the steeple, on firm foundation, as steady
as rock and pointing always straight to
the sky. 1t may sway a trifle in high
wind, but such movement is impercept-
ible to the jack, who ascends by means of
ropes and scaling ladders, and is perfectly
safe if he is a careful man. II Capelle got
81 900 for putting that ball on the pole of
the Singer building, all I've got to say is
he was we'll paid for the job. Any first
rate seaman would have done it for $780,"
Another Old-timer of the sea chimed in
"Yes, sir, nothin' in it. Where would a
steeplejack be on full-rigged ship with
the wind gale and the yardarms beatin'
the waves at every roll? How would he
feel il sent aloft at such time to furl the
main royal? He'd be only about $50 feet
above deck, but the mast would be waving
through the air like a witch's wand with
four contrary motions-port and star board
fore and aft. Imagine him out on the end
of the spar, just below the main truck,
holding on by his belly, feet and hands
frozen, tryin' to take in sail! Why, if the
poor devil managed to hold on, with the
mate below believing threats at him, he'd
never be able to get down to the deck
again without breaking his neck. Steeple-
jacking? Dead easy."-Neu York Press.

Speech.

Speech.
Talk happiness. The word 10 sad enough
without your woe. No path is wholly rough
Look for the places that are smooth and clear
And speak Of them to rest the weary ear
OF earth, SO hurt by one continuous strain
OF moral discomfort and grief and pain.
Talk faith. The world Is better OF without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt;
II you have faith in God, or man or self,
Say 30; II not, push back upon the shelf
OF silence all your thoughts till faith shall
come.
No one will grieve because your lips are dumb.
Talk health. The dreary, never-ending tale
or moral maladies is worn and stale;
You cannot charm or interest or please
By harping on that minor chord, disease,
Say you are well, or all is well with you,
And God shall hear your words and make
them true.
