sUPERINTRxDESCE OF SCHOOLS
Marked Growth In the System Of
Union Supervision.

The following statement relating
to the union supervision of schools
has been issued by State Superinten-
dent Payson Smith:
From figures recently compiled in
the office of the State superintendent
OF schools a marked growth in the
system of superintendent of schools
through the union of towns is shown.
Such supervision may properly be
termed professional" since all sup
erintendents of school unions are re
quired to hold State certificates OF
superintendents grade and to devote
their entire time TO the work of sup
ervision. In 1910 a total of &c such
unions Is shown comprising ia towns
with 2028 schools, and embracing a
school population of 92,919. 1t is in
teresting to note that "A per cent OF
the entire school population of the
State is under union supervision. EX-
GLIDING the larger cities which EN-
ploy professional superintendent in
dependently of other towns or cities
the statistics show that 81 per cen,
OF the remaining school population is
III der union supervision.
In 1899 there were in the State but
two unions embracing 20 schools This
number increased slowly until In 1907
there were Al unions. made up of 105
towns, containing 1854 schools. In
1869 there were 60 unions SO organ
lied. made up of las towns and 1S45
schools.
superintendent of unions of towns
are chosen generally for term of one
year The figures show however that
nine have been elected for three
year period, twelve for a two year
period and four for a period of year
and q quarter.
The largest annual salary paid is
$1,000. Twenty-Five superintendent
receive $1,000; thirteen superinten-
dents receive an annual salary OF
less than $1,000. The remainder re
ctive salaries varying from $3.50 to
$500.
In providing for the formation of a
school union the law stpulates tha'
two or more towns may unite provid-
'ER the aggregate number of schools
within towns is not less than twenty
CT more than fifty.

HAS SUFFOLK SHEEP.
SkOwhegan Mans Small Flock From
Which Much Is Expected.

A. d. Bailey Of Skowhegan has the
only Suffolk sheep in the State. He
has four of this breed, one of Them
being a buck. 1t has been shown that
in competition with all other breeds
in the carcass competition for the past
six or seven seasons Suffolk and Suf-
felix crosses have won more premiums
tn; all the rest of the breeds put
together. They are noted for fecun-
dity, hardness and early maturity. In
1903 a Suffolk eve in England in the
short space of l2h months gave her
owner eight healthy lambs; Feb. %,
1903, she dropped two ram lambs;
Aug. 81, 1903, two ram lambs and one
eve lamb; March 8. 1904, two ram
lambs and one eve lamb. Early in
the present century this breed was
founded by crossing the horned Nor
folk ewes with improved Southdown
rams, and resulted in a valuable type
of sheep. By the middle of the cen
fury these Southdown Norfolks were
widely known as black faces and in
1859 were christened Suffolk. They
resembled the Southdown in charac-
ter and WOOL but about 80 per cent
larger and proportionately longer on
the leg, they excel in the following
points: Fecundity, 80 lambs per score
of ewes; early maturity, ram lambs
SO forward at seven to eight months
that 10 out of 20 breeders use them
in preference to older sheep; hardi-
hood they will get living where other
breeds would starve; mutton, the
quality is super-excellent with a
L..
top prices; constitution, robust, hardy
great power of endurance and free
dom from attacks of foot rot.

SCIENCE HAS HELP
FOR The We AK
Destinies of Children
Changed By 1t
One Fact Proved Is That the Normal
Child Is Never Lazy.

In many ways the world is growing
thank the scientific spirit which is
daily recognizing more and more of
the affairs of life which belong to its
department 1t is coming into fashion
not to kick the man who is down, but
to call a committee to inquire into
why he is down and that leads natur-
ally to helping him up. This new
method is to be welcomed most of all
as it bears upon the destinies of little
children.
The new scientific pedagogies no
longer divides children summarily in
to good and bad. stupid and clever. On
the contrary, 1t takes close cognizance
IF the wonderful relation between
mind and body. stomach and brain
and learns thereby that persons, and
above all children, are much more
naturally divided into the sick or the
we'll, the hungry or the fed, the weak
or the strong.
Both in this country and in Europe
Investigations of this matter have
been made with significant results
One fact proved by them is that there
is no such thing as lazy" child. The
normal child Is interested, alert
bright minded, full of waking curios-
ties about the world into which he
hoC anh andnuaA with aI
most unquenchable physical vivacity
What then is the matter with the lit
tie inert, stupid, dull-eyed creatures
forever at the bottom of the class who
never put question or seem to pass
given point?
The matter Ia that they are Ill.
Some of them are hungry, and it is as
hopeless to expect a child to study
we'll when he needs food as 1t would
be to expect fire that needs fuel to
burn we'll The hunger may be due
to an actual lack of food or 1t may
be that the teeth are in such poor
condition that the child cannot chew
and therefore does not digest. Or
1t may be that the food offered to it
at home Is entirely unsuited to its
needs.
Some of the children cannot hear
well and some cannot see. They do
not complain because they do not
know what Is the matter. They ac-
cept constant rebuke and defeat with
the dumb mystiflcation of ignorance.
Many of them have never drawn one
natural breath since their birth owing
to the presence of enlarged tonsils
and adenoids.
These children can never compete
with their fellows until all these him
ORANGES have been removed. Some
recent Investigations made by a
French physician show that among
well-nourished children only 10 per
cent have physical defects. while
among the poorly nourished over 60
per cent suffer from these defects.
This question of feeding Is being
met In many cities both here and
abroad by the supplying Of substan-
tial luncheon either free or at a
cost.-Youth's Companion.

What Somerset Farmers are Doing

Frank King of Madison, has valu-
able young mare by Stirling, that he
intends to keep for breeding. She Ia
bay in color, we'll proportional and
will weigh somewhere near 1850 lbs
Her dam was an excellent brood mare
by Geo. W., from which Mr.. King has
bred a number of valuable ones. One
of which he received $3.50 for and was
a little later sold for $1,000. The last
colt raised from her is a two-year-old
bay gelding by Col Delmar, which Mr..
King still has. This one promises
to make a high class driver.
At Skowhegan recently the writer
of the Turf, Farm and Home received
an invitation from F. s. Tuscan to
take short ride after his young stall
lion Allie Wilkes. This horse is very
promising four years old with great
Individuality. Mr.. Tuscan showed
him at four fairs this season includ-
ing the Central Maine at Waterville,
and he won the blue ribbon at each
place. His breeding too, is al, right,
A good State of Maine pedigree. He
was sired by Johnnie Wilkes 2.17, and
has most excellent breeding on his
dams side. His first dam, Allie Lis
ter, was by Albrino, son of Almont;
second dam, Daisy, by Gen. Withers,
another son of Almont; third dam,
Geneva by Arcturus, son of Handle
tonian, 10; and fifth dam, Belle by
Imported Monarch. He is a fine
locker, upheaded and stylish, stands
15% hands, and weighs about 1850
pounds in present form and is sure
to make a 100 horse. He has been
worked a few times on track this sea-
son just enough to demonstrate that
he has lots of speed, can go very fast
and 60 steady, nice clean gated
trotter. He has been bred to about
twenty-five mares the past season
without being advertised In any way,
and the number includes many of the
best young mares in this vicinity, sew
eral of them being by Stirling. Horse
men In this section are watching this
horse with considerable interest.
