Anyhow, in ancient Greece c'eess

In the thirteenth and fourteenth

Ana in the seventeenth century cheese

1t was, apparently, Cohn who dis-
covered that the ripenning process OF

1t used to be thought that cheese

cheese making.
The old idea that cheese helped the

practice 1t was held that cheese
digested everything except itself.
Then there came reaction, ana
cheese was condemned as the most
of all foods! What is the
truth of the matter?
Professor MetchnikOff's experiments
and researches point to the conclusion
that in certain forms of milk there are
developed bacteria which tend to

But, inasmuch as it has a high food
value as a builder of the body, it
serves also as a kind of meat. In a
meal containing meat, then, it would
be rather like a meat course at the
end Of the meal, after. at least, one
other meat course: and this-the fact
that it is an unnecessary food element

bad effects of this food, as it does for
some of the bad effects of nuts.

The New High School Course
Announced by Supt. Libby.

The regular meeting of the Board
of Education was held Monday even
ing at the office of the superintendent
of schooiOs. The chief item of import
ance was the approving of the courses
OF study in the Waterville High school
as prepared by Supt. H. c. Libby.
The course in the High school this
year Is one of the best that ever has
been prepared and contains all the re-
quirements that are necessary for COL
lege entrance. The chief requirement
is the study of English in all four
years. In the first and second years
algebra is required. The elective
studies are so arranged that 1t is pos
sible for a pupil with back work to
regain the required number of points
1t is also possible by extra studying to
complete tire four-years course in
three. Commercial arithmetic and bus
mess methods are also elective, but
their points do not count toward col
lege entrance.
The courses will be classical, and sci
ertific. The studies coming under the
heads of classical and scientific aim to
fit pupils for college. In view of the
college entrance requirements of 20
points it is important that pupils set
tie definitely upon their course of study
at the beginning of the year.
The required and optional subjects
in the A. B. and B. S. courses for en-
trance to college are as follows: Can
didates for admission to the Freshman
class must offer studies amounting to
a total CT 80 points. To count two
points a subject must be pursued for
one school year, with five recitation
periods q week.
The courses required for those stu
dents who enter the A. B. course, count
q points; the remaining seven points
being chosen from the optional sub
jects If Greek is not taken, French or
German must be; and If a modern
language is chosen. not less than two
years work, counting four points, will
be- accepted.
The studies for those who enter the
3. S. course count 10 points: the re-
naming ls points being chosen from
the optional subjects. But candidates
for the B. S. course must choose from
the optional subjects two years of one
modern language, one year of science
and one year Of history.
The Commercial course is arranged
for pupils who do not intend to go to
college, but who require a fair knowl-
edge Of such branches as will fit them

School Building.

About tile chief item OF Importance
at the city government meeting this
evening, besides the regular routine
work. will be the matter of the sale OF
the old High School building and
grounds to the Ursuline Order In this
city, The matter was to have been CIV
en- attention at the July meeting OF
the city fathers, but on account of the
Illness OF Mayor Fuller the matter
was not brought up. 1t was at the
mayors suggestion that the matter
be deferred until he could take charge,
hut the Ursuline officials will wait no
Longer and win present their petition
this evening.
For the past month pamphlets have
been circulated in the interest OF this
society. recalling the existing facts
of the academy and reasons why their
school shotild be enlarged. Their pres
ent quarters adjoin the High school
property at an angle, and this portion
of land they desire to get by purchase.
Should the matter come to a vote
this evening, 1t is expected that it will
be religious lines that will be drawn
instead of party, and the present out
look, or rather by a straw vote. is that
the 'mstter viii be a tie and rest with
Mayor Pro Tenn Carey. Just what his
attitnde-in the matter will be is not
known, nor has he stated himself. He
feels that the responsibility thrust up
on him Is great one, and to journal
reporter Monday he said that he wish
ed he was on a vacation.
But the Board of Education is also
interested in the matter and feels that
It is an action that first should come
to their attention, in which case 1t
would go no farther, for they are OPP
, posed to the measure and would Kill IT,
The majority of the members OF the
board do not favor 1t and have been
working for the past month to prevent
its passage. However should the mat
ter come to vote this evening" and
the result be favorable to the Ursuline
order, the board will take immediate
steps 20 preSent the sale by applying
for an Injunction for the supreme
court. Chairman j. F. Hill of the
board has stated that no expense Will
be spared In lighting the case.
The contention of the Board of Ed

is not in a position to dispose of this
