them with a proper knowledge of
their sequence, and all that sort of
thing. Furthermore. and this fact our
friends, the critics, entirely overlook,
il isn't possible for the different COM
munites to adopt all the more or
less important ideas which they sug-
gest. The adoption of their ideas
would mean far better teachers than
the average community can COM
mand; it would mean course of
study which would call for larger
teaching force than would be possi-
BILE to keep up; it would also mean
larger and more commodious and
better equipped school buildings.
1t is we'll, of course. to talk about
things heavenly and ideal, even while
sojourning at a convention in the
quaint city of Boston, but inasmuch
as we are poor mortals living on an
earthly crust we must let fine fancies
fly away and give good heed to the
solid facts of our existence.
In the meantime, from now until
the days of millennium, our schools
may continue to turn out the best
possible products of the twentieth
century civilization. And we'll wager
they will hold their own with those
educated under those ideal conditions
pictured by the Boston critics.

Asher {. Kinds

We print In another column a briei
sketch of the career of Hon. Asher
c. Kinds. Republican nominee for
Congress In the First District to sue
ceed Hon. Amos L. Allen. We print
this sketch because we are of the
opinion that our readers are suffi-
ciently interested in those who rep
resent Maine in the national halls OF
legislation to want to know some
what of their life's history and to
trace therefrom the particular traits
or conditions that have given them
political success.
There are at least three facts in the
life of Mr.. Kinds which are worthy
Of brief comment In the first place,
II is to be noted that he was not born
with a silver spoon in his mouth or
with civic honors already in his
keeping He came Of honest and
humble parents, of a stock which
gave to the boy the best possible
equipment in life, namely, the high
est type of ideals. The boy began
at the bottom of the ladder and crawl
ed slowly to the top. In the print
shop, synonym of the totality of his
life's work, he began at the case and
ended his newspaper career as editor
and owner In studying this fact OF
his career we are able to point out
to the thousands of young men OF
America. boys who are possessed OF
noble ambitions but who are shorn
of influential parents or other prefer
ments, that there is always room at
the top for him who holds steadfastly
to the common virtues and applies
himself assiduously to worthy tasks.
In the second place, it is to be not
ed that Mr.. Kinds has succeeded only
after long and faithful service-hard
work, not during eight hours OF six
days but work that required thrice
that number of hours per day. To
become so familiar with the rules OF
great national legislature that on a
moments notice precedents may be
cited and the conduct of the business
of the house properly carried on, is
the work of years of patient, toilsome
labor. To stand as the peer of the
parliamentarians of the world rep
resents research work in thousand
different fields. 1t is because Mr..
Kinds was not and is not afraid to
toll and because he believes-that by
the sweat of his brow he gains his
passport to successful citizenship that
he has merited so we'll of his fellow
countrymen. To a cigarette-smoking
and automobile age this les
son of daily toll is one worthy OF
deepest consideration.
And in the third place, it is refresh
ing to learn that the success of Mr..
Kinds in his present fight for Con-
gress is due in fair measure to several
vi HIS oluuCIll Vi SCiACoS oN' ~
to those who then knew Ash Kinds
and loved him, boys who then mar
yelled at the patient, honest plodder
after knowledge and who then pro-
phesied for student Kinds degree
of the success that has later come to
him. This last fact Is important
chiefly as showing that those who
thought we'll of student Kinds some
thirty years ago have retained that
respect through all the intervening
years and think well of citizen Hinds
now. 1t is the greatest possible tes-
timony to the character of this splen-
did product of the old Pine Tree
State.

The growing exercise of arbitrary

Panaceas

Probably the recent educational
T. Getting held in Boston was com
riete success. Probably more educa-
tors attended it than ever congre-
ssted for a like purpose before. Prob
ally everything went as scheduled
cept the slate of officers PROFOUND
&. by the machine" And probably
a., that was written in the newspa-
pcrs was a fairly accurate indication
ot what was done, what was said,
" hat was left undone, but certainly
nothing that was left unsaid.
These meetings may be all that they
ere doomed to be, but we folks at
distance are constrained to believe
tat they give opportunity for the
& 1.eatest display of hot-air of any
other assemblage of the virile forces
of educational progress!
According to newspaper reports
the sonsensus of the deliberations
seemed to be that the boys and girls
attending school nowadays are
learning nothing of value to them.
The complaint seemed to be that we
ere teaching our boys and girls moth
ing that will be of value to them in
the trades" And paper after paper
delivered before the departmental
sessions condemned, in sweeping al
legations, the present curriculum and
the methods of teaching.
No doubt some of the schools OF the
country are poorly Differed and have
poor courses of study, and no doubt
much of the criticism offered in the
Boston meetings was we'll deserved;
but If we might be permitted to give
an off-hand opinion in the matter we
should hesitate to offer a measure of
criticism upon the hasty judgment of
these vigorous critics.
1t is easy to criticise-very easy
much easier, in fact, than to attempt
to work out an intricate course of
study for our High schools and col
leges. Furthermore, hot-air comes
at very cheap price, especially in
the month of July and in Boston.
There are those, and we speak very
guardedly, whose chief ambition in
life seems to be to get into print and
have their names appear in headline
type. Even criminals have this alb
normality This Boston criticism
wholesale in its character, has en-
gendered a very general spirit of re-
sentiment among the rank and file of
educators and public school teachers;
in large part undeserved, 1t meets
with the reception it has we'll merited.
One thing becomes more and more
clear to us, namely that our educa-
tional institutions cannot go much

cializing our courses of study before

Maine were there, jostling one an
other and moving about through the
clouds of tobacco smoke. There were
some interesting political contests
under way but all that was taking
place was beneath the surface and
to the rank outsider it was more than
difficult to get at the trend OF events
Kinds had hardly an acquaintance
in all this crowd Men brushed him
aside, stared at him in insolent re-
sentiment when he attempted to ask
questions and one or two of us who
knew him and liked him tried to
help him in his work.
After time l saw Asher Kinds
talking to l. C. Libby, one of the lead
Ing politicians of Kennebec county. 1t
seemed that Libby had been a cattle
buyer and had often driven past
Kinds home in Benton, knew his
family well and was willing to give
the young reporter chance. III any
man knew about the political
game 1t was Libby and l saw
that Asher Kinds had fallen into
good hands. The next day his paper,
the Advertiser, had complete and
accurate account of all that had
transpired at Augusta the night be-
fore the Inauguration of the new
Legislature. The story attracted at
tention at Augusta. 1t was the break
