brary by the latest. modern method
the Dewey system with Cutter tables
and putting it into a larger room with
chairs and tables so that it can be
used by the pupils, has been one OF
the greatest improvements made dur
ing the year. 1t is in constant use
and is a great help to the students in
their studies. Although the 80 chairs
are often all occupied. the room is per-
fectly quiet for study. We hardly
knew that we had a library before.
THE abolition of the students Incl
dental fee was one of the very best
acts of the last Legislature. 1t seems
strange that we had not thought of ii
before. 1t has never been possible tC
pay the necessary incidental expenses
of the schools with this fee, especially
since books have been furnished free
The expenses of the Normal schools
have constantly increased, and ne
cessarily so. if they are to keep pace
with other similar institutions. while
the fees have decreased. / have not
found it possible this year to meet
absolutely necessary expenses.
"All friends of the Eastern State
Normal school are rejoicing that the
last Legislature appropriated $4,000
for new dormitory for this school

full on the Maine coast, overlooking

Normal school in the class of 1908, was
chosen to teach French and pcnman-
ship which she has done very accepta-
blv through the year.
The work of manual training has
proved Of great Importance in the
school. The good work has with three
exceptions. been done by the boys the

'In a school numbering 1870 pupils. 81
Eoys have given such enthusiastic at
tcntion to the good work as to be al
most unconscious of the prcscIlce of
visitors when busy at their benches.
The sewing of the girls has been
equally as Interesting and as we'll done

and if required to do so, can take
