The School House of Memory.

1.-The Survey" for September has an
school as social center. The idea
of the Little Red School House" as
a social and civic gathering place is
taking root in the original soil. The
writer claims that the country school
as social center is coming back
into it's own. An interesting instance
which has come about through the
influence of the Rochester public
schools as social centers has arisen
in the nearby town of Greece. n. Y,
"a "Neighborhood Civics Club has
been organized to hold meetings in
the school building to promote the
acquaintance and fellowship of the
people of this district, to hold de-
bates, lectures and entertainments OF
an educational and social character,
and to further agitate and watch
over such improvements for the pub
lie welfare as may be endorsed by
the majority. and to carry on any
other work which it may perform un-
der the laws of the state of New
York.
Such a movement recalls to Maine
people the delights of spelling down
contests of days long gone. There
Young and old met upon the school
room floor as a divided arena, words
alternately going to the opposing col
umns, the schOomaster or school
ma'am, as master of ceremonies, IN
the center The surviving speller
usually was accorded prize or at
least attained the fame of being the
best speller in the neighborhood.
Probably many of the present middle
aged generation can recall amusing
schools. In those days school rooms
were not fitted with electric lights.
but lamps, lanterns and candles
marked certain glowing spots in the
surrounding gloom. But the in
spiration was the same in those days
of candles as in these days of
Tungsten burners-competition to-
ward educational ends and the
Frightening of the wits of old and
young. The revival of the social
gatherings may well be encouraged,
for their simplicity and encourage
ment of country neighborhoods in the
right direction.

Thursdays Celebration.

Next Thursday evening is the date
assigned for the celebration in Augusta

De highly creditable to those in charge

makes the Democratic celebration pos
sible. 1t believes that many, at least,
will regard this as a celebration CT

ocratic party signifies. For reasons
which it has heretofore tried to fairly
present in these columns, it regards
the Democratic victory of Sept. II, a:
ininiCal to the best interests of ouI

indeed, which would deny to our fel-
low townsman, Colonel Plaisted, who
has been so signaiy honored, and to

for the successful conduct of their

Needs of Country Life.

At the second national conservation
congress in st. Paul, ten days ago.
former President Roosevelt pointed
out some of the most urgent needs OF
country life. He told of the IN
vestigations of the country life COM
mission which had led the farmers OF
this country to realize that they had
not been getting their fair share or
the profits. and all that it brings
He said that one of the most urgent
needs of our civilization is that the
farmers themselves should undertake
to get a better knowledge of their
needs and improvements. and all
those things which make for better
farming and better living on the
farm. He said that he was strongly in
favor of the creation of country
life institute as center where the
work and knowledge of the world
NAV be brought together for the use
of every nation. He expressed
hope to see it carried out with tne
CO. operation of the people.
Among the thousands of topics
which Colonel Roosevelt treated IN
his nearly one hundred speeches dur
ing his recent Western trip, none IS
perhaps of more vital interest to the
people of every section than TINS
suggestion for museum of country
life. Such an institution should
contain an extraordinary series OF
studies in agriculture, stock raising,
forestry. mining. etc, and exhibits of
the utmost Importance should be
given attention. AS the former
President suggested, we might all
wish to see such museum estab-
lished in Washington.

judge Lindsay's Modesty.

Judge Lindsay, of juvenile court
fame, disclaims much of the honor
accredited to him in the work to
which he has devoted so much of his
life. He says the result has been
contributed to by many people, and
that he has always insisted. and now
insists. that the public has been all
too generous i'm giving certain men
credit for the chldrens court and
what it has done. While this sort of
credit has been very encouraging to
him in his work, he modestly de-
clares that he has not deserved 1t all.
We approve of Judge Lindsay
modesty, and his honesty, as well as
what he admits he has accomplished
for the youngsters within his juris-
diction. He has set an example
which has been largely followed ana
for that we give him credit Condi-
tions and methods differ in various
parts of the country. but the work OF
such men as Judge Lindsay is a
credit to any community or any ma
ton, and no doubt thousands Oh
Young men have been saved to a bet
ter life by the kindly advice, the en-
couraging word and the extended
hand of such men as Judge Lindsay.

Asher c. Kinds rises to a point OF

but it is in line with traditional Demo-
cratic luck that the Speaker whose
fate it is to be caught in the net Oh
the learned Kinds will. in all propa :

ten per cent. of those afflicted ever full
