MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Educational Frills.
(Dortlopd AdvertiSer).

The American Flag association calls
attention to the anniversary of the
adoption of the flag, which was on
the 14th of June, I'LL The associa-
ton suggests that mayors of cities
and governors of states see that the
flag is displayed on the anniversary
day, that there be a salute to the
flag in the schools and that in other
ways the occasion be observed. We
are further informed that from year
to year the American people are cele-
brating the day with a growing en-
thusiasm. Now this is all very COM
mendable in a way yet. it is to be
doubted whether it is entirely in ac-
cord with good judgment to keep on
in the establishment of these days"
SO long as the observance Of flag day
in the schools consists only in exer-
cises lasting but few minutes it may
serve a useful purpose in intoxicating
the spirit of patriotism but if the ex-
erciseS are allowed to grow to such
proportions that they make serious
interruption in the days routine. then
it would seem to be the time to pro-
test Educators are already sounding
the note of warning. 1t is a good
thing to teach the children the sig
nificance of the flag. the lessons to
be drawn from the lives of the illus
trious dead. the desirability of plant
ing shade trees and many other things
but after all there must be time for
the teaching of those rudiments de-
scrlbed in the popular song as
Reading riting and 'rithmetic

The hickory stick has disappeared
and it sometimes seems to the out
slider that the reading, 'ritng and
.'rithmetic would also go by the board
unles; a halt was called in the adding
of frlls to the public school courses.

NOT FOR THE WORKER.
Golf Is Likely to Do Him More Harm
Than Good.

The question whether golf is neal
thy exercise for both mind and body in
the case of every Individual who tries
to master the game is debatable. The
advantages of an outdoor sport be-
cause it is outdoor are obvious, and one
fact indisputably IN favor of golf is
that it entails exercise in the fresh air.
The physical needs of the body may
receive. therefore, a healthy stimulus,
but it avaiIs little if the mind is not
also simultaneously attuned to a like
condition of wellheing. There are not
a few individuals who worry needlessly
over triillng matters who would be glad
enough to put good complexion on
things. Tut their disposition seems to
render it dfficmult Others are of an
exceedingly irritable turn Of mind, and
if all does not go we'll they are made
miserable 1t is doubtful whether such
people derive any good from golf when
the game does not go smoothly with
them, and golf is par excellence a game
which presents oftentimes enough
number of irritating disappointments.
The man who has had worrying
week III the ordinary pursuit of his
business or profession will be found
trying to seek relief in a round OF golf
at the Week end, only to discover that
he is "off his game If he takes his
failure to play good game to heart it
is doubtful whether his health gains
very much. He has had, it is true, the
advantage of a change of scene and oc-
cupation. and has lived for while in
Il healthier atmosphere, and if he had
only. baap caficfia6 with his game all
these things would have conspired to
send him back to his work cheered and
braced up. But he may play very bad
ly and become llnduly worried thercat.
A game that is calculated to increase
an rritability which has arisen out of
a trying weeks work can hardly be
said to be recreative, at all events to
the mind. The disadvantage, therefore,
of golf as mental relief as well as
physical recreation is that it may rath
err than soothe the feelings.
The fact is. golf is game Of skill ana
precision. and bristles with so many
niceties that it requires considerable
mental attention, and unless success at
tends Il good many strokes the leellng
of irritation becomes very real, and at
ter q round freely interspersed with
fooled tee shots and taking the grass
badly the conclusion is reached that
golf is a disappointing game. Such
performance may have some disciplin-
airy result, but it does not make for
even temper or for peace of mind, and
an exercise involving no particular
skill. such as walking or cycling. would
in such cases be far better The game
of golf if it does not go smoothly pre-
sents so many points of analogy with
the tiresome eventualities of life that
there can be little doubt that persons
of an irritable. gloomy and worrying
disposition would be better if they did
not seek their recreation on the links

Fiqhtinq the Smoke Nuisance.

In connection with the proposed
Smoke nuisance" conference which is
soon to be held in one Of the western
cities. it is of more than scientific in
tcrcst that the experts of the United
States geological survey announce af-
ter extended investigation and expert
ment that a smolleless. and. therefore.
cleaner, more healthful and more at
tractive city. is a possibility of the
near future, even with the use of soft
coal 1t has bet n shown to be a ques-
ton of complete combustion. and in
the experiments at Pittsburg the Off
Gers of the survey have demonstrated
that complete combustion is possible.
The PittSburg station is operated abSo-
lutoIy without smoke. and the fuel used
is coal refuse, costing eighty cents a
ton.
Incidentally it may be interesting to
know that II. NJ. Wilson, chief engineer
Of The chronological branch of the geo
logical survey. has figured it out that
smoke in the cities costs in merchan-
disc in stores and warehouses more
than s6OO.oO 600 a year. This loss in
money is based on the statement OF the
Chicago smoke inspector that his city
suffers a loss each year of $o0.000.O00
All this is of interest in this part of
the country as we'll as in the cities OF
the great Middle West which are the
chief sufferers from the SOFT coal hui
sance. The supply of anthracite. whose
use has been so general here in New
England. is limited. and the authorities
tell us that the time is not far distant
when those who use coal here as else
where, will have to use the soft va
riety unless some substitute fuel is
discovered.

A Village in the Treetops.

So far as l know-and / have travel
cd the world over--there is but one
place in civilization where whole viii
lage is built high up in big forest trees
OF course. in savage lands, especially
in Cannibal New Guinea, tree houses
are common enough, and so arc dwell
ings proppcd on stills out in the shall
low seas. But then the occupants are
always terrified lest fierce raiders come
to burn and kill and kidnap; and while
in their trcct"p huts or sea-propped
homes they feel themselves secure and
in position tn cspy the stranger from
afar and accost him from a safe dis
lance
Vastly different. however. is the
charming village of Robinson, near
Paris. You may call it the Coney Is
land of the French metropolis; but
there is no noise. no vulgarity, nothing
but quiet apprecia ton Of lovely seem
cry. and a wholesome resolve 10 spend
a few hours in novel surroundings,
away from the fret and turmoil of a
vast city. Robinson was invented"
by Jacques Guesqun. a humble rem
tier. man who had made little for
tune in Paris. and then retired into the
suburb to plant cabbages.'' as the
French say, abiding to their ideal of
the country life.
But that was sixty years ago. NJ.
Guesquin cast about for a likely site
for his retirement, and hit at last upon
the vicinity Of Sceaux and Trontenay-
aux Roses. only seven miles from the
city. A lovely spot. The quiet lane
was hedgeL with wild roses. and ran
along the shoulder CT the HILL hanked
by immemoria! Gins and immense
chestnuts, survials of the great forest
that once encircled all Paris.
Here Old Guesquin built a cottage,
but soon found he must occupy his
mind with otter things besides plant
ing cabages. For his had been an ac-
tive life. He therefore decided to open
a little store, and thus keep his slender
capital from diminishing too quickly.
He wondered why the weary brain

bought another plot of land. higher

field at the Coe house on Turner street.
They nestled there and last year came

now there is quite large colony OF
these birds on the Turner road above
East Auburn. They should be protect
ed in every possible way. They are one
of the finest birds in America and may
be called the hest friends of the farm
ers as they are very destructive to in
sects' This is indeed good piece of
news. The meadow lark, as Mr.. Wa
terman says. is magnificent bird.
They may be found from Maine to Lab
rador but are mostly in the West. In
Nebraska their sweet song may be
heard in the fields at any time and they
are regarded as the finest song bird in
the state. They nest on the ground
and are very affectionate to their
young. In rising they go into the air
almost perpendicularly and wheel
around in series of circles while sing
ing their sweet song. Like the quail
they arc emphatically a field bird and
are rarely seen in thick woods. Now
that we are again stocked with these
splendid songsters let us see to it that
they are protected by the law. They
are too large and powerful for the Eng
lish sparrow to conquer and as they
are very hardy they will rapidly in
crease if not destroyed by man. We be-
lievc that Auburn is the only place in
Maine where these birds can be found
at present.
