MAINE MATTERS.

Relation of Grange and Rural School
Set Forth In Resolutions.
The Patrons of Maine at their last
state meeting adopted the following
clear cut resolution touching the rela-
ton of the grange to the rural school.
1t is well worth reading: Resolved,
That. while the common school is not
the proper place for the teaching Of
scientific agriculture. yet the grange
believes that there is close and vital
relationship between the rural school
and the industry Of agriculture; that
the country school must be made SO
good school that no farmer will need
to remove from his farm to educate
his children; that 1t is essential to
such a school that there be trained
and efficient teachers. reasonably per-
manent in their tenure Of position;
that it should be housed In decent and
well equipped buildings and should
have a course of study adapted to the
practical needs of country children;
that the grange indorses an increased
amount of handwork for rural schools,
the organization of boys agricultural
clubs, the establishment Of school and
home gardens and such other incen-
tives as will lead to the later study
In higher institutions of scientific ag-
riculture and to the development of a
respect for the occupation that Is
fundamental to the welfare Of all the
people"
The executive committee Of Maine
state grange recently outlined a cam
paign against the repeal Of the Maine
prohibitory law. At its annual meet
ing the state grange took strong ac-
ton against the repeal, and now the
executive committee Is seeking to put
those resolutions into effect. 1t Is
proposed to cooperate with and assist
the churches. Civic league, w. G. II. u.
organizations and other temperance
societies in their efforts to retain the
present law, and with all these agen-
cies combating any movement to re-
peal It there is good reason to believe
that their efforts will be successful.
At the meeting of the executive com
mittee 1t was voted 10 hold series of
field meetings throughout the state.
The next state grange meeting will be
held at Lewiston.

Why Connecticut Grange Opposed
President Taft Attending the Fair.

Why Connecticut Grange Opposed
President Taft Attending the Fair.
Since so much has been said in the
newspapers relative to the Connecticut
state grange officials and their atti-
tude toward President Taft and the
state fair, State Master Healy has
given the position of the grange in the
ity. Briefly it is this:
The subject OF having grange day
at the state fair was first brought to
his attention by n member Of the leg
islative committee who interviewed
the managers OF the fair regarding it.
The state fair officials requested the
state grange officials TO select the
speaker for the grange day and the
fair would pay his expenses, the only
condition being that the speaker should
be man of national reputation. This
was agreeable 70 Mr.. Healy. and he
said he would call the committee to-
gether and select a speaker.
Before the meeting was held the
newspapers announced that President
Taft had been secured to speak on
grange day at the fair. This action on
the part of the fair management dis
pleased the grange officials. inasmuch
as the choice of speaker had been left
to them. The grange committee then
decided not to have a grange day at
the fair, believing that the order would
be Inconsistent in making n demonStra-
ton on such an occasion with the feel
ing it has regarding the reciprocity

He asked the people to be faithful to the promises made during the campaign that the liquor law would be enforced and that the saloons would be properly regulated He closed by urg- ing every one to work for the best in- terests of the city.
