GOOD PENMANSHIP,
THEME OF LECTURE.
Prof. Zaner Addresses Nor
NAL Teachers and Students.

Prof. Zaner, of Columbus, Ohio. gave
an interesting lecture on penmanship to
teachers and students Of Normal School
No. yesterday afternoon at o'clock In
the assembly hall of the Franklin build
ing.
Though one of the fundamental prin-
ciples Of penmanship should not be con-
sidered the whole realm of learning"
said Prof. Zaner, but should be given
its proper place in every school course,
the test of good writing is its use in
business. Legibility and rapidity are the
two essentialsS required of the penman
in the business world"
Prof. Zaner advocated distinctive in
dividuality in handwriting, but agreed
that some basic system must be followed
in the early years at least. He con-
demned the present style Of vertical
writing, as 1t has tendency to crush
out this individuality.
Dr. Davidson, superintendent of public
schools, met the supervising principals
of the first nine divisions in the board
room of the Franklin building yester-
day afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. This was
the superintendent first formal meeting
with the supervisors as a body. He
came by their invitation for the purpose
Of acquainting himself with the history
and working plan OF the organization.
Satisfactory reports from various COM
mittees occupied most of the time. Here
tofore the meetings have been held at
the Office of a supervising principal, but
the Franklin building has been selected
as a place for future conferences.

rectors, the following being elected with

uel Luttrell.
No actual date has been set as yet for
the automobile show, but upon the rec
concentration of Claude Miller It was.
left in the hands of the directors as to
the date Of the show for 1912. 1t was de-
about the LIST of February, and the di-
rectors were instructed to try and secure
the hall for that time.
On account of the size Of the hall, II
was decided not to give space to auto
mobile accessories, but to allow the pleas
ure and truck vehicles the entire space.
The secretary read he financial report
Of the show held last spring. which was
a big success, and the outlook for TIE
show to be held in February is brighter
than ever before. and the automobile
dealers expect to eclipse that Of this
year.

decorators to furnish the same elaborate
interior decorations that are to be used
at the show to be held at Madison
Square Garden. New York, in January.

SURPRISE PARTY.
Given Frank Emery, Jr, In Honor Of
His Going to West Point Soon.

With the assistance of Rev. and
Mrs. Robert Morris, the members of
the choir of the First Baptist church
worked very clever surprise party
on Fank Emery Wednesday night.
Frank has been a. member of the
shoir for several years, and as the
time approached for him to leave
Skowhegan and enter West Point. his
associates felt that he should receive
some token of their affection and es-
teen His well known and extreme
1odesty however. constituted a for
midable obstacle. but with the aid Of
h little scheming this was all over
come. During the winter the MEM
beers of the choir have met for re-
hearsal at their different houses, so
the announcement of the meeting at
tn parsonage aroused no suspicion.
After going through the church music
as usual. somebody suggested that
there was time for few games. Then
came several vocal and plano solos,
and afterwards the surprise. In be-
half of those present Mr.. Morris
presented Frank with suitably In
scribed Bible, and beautiful pair OF
gold link cuff buttons. Frank rose
to the occasion splendidly, and en-
loved the frame up as well as any
one else. Refreshments followed and
the party broke up after an unusual
ly delightful evening.

Death of Frank /. Norton.

Occurred at the home of his sister,
Mrs. " o. Linnell at Rumford, May
TO- after an illness covering a period
of nearly three years. All that kind
hearts and loving hands could do
failed to stay the dread disease.
He was young man of much
promise and sterling worth, a great
favorite of all who knew him. Born
in Levant thirty-three years ago. He
leaves father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Norton, one brother
and several sisters, who have the
sympathy of host of friends in their
great loss.
The funeral was at Rumford and
the remains taken to Hartland and
placed beside those of his late wife,
who was the daughter of w. F.
Smith.
He sang of joy, whate'er he knew OF
sadness.
He kept for his own hearts peculiar
share. ,
He sang so well the world imagined
gladness.
To be sole tenant there.
For dreams were his; and in the
dawn's fair shining.
His spirit scared beyond the noun
But from his lips no accent of repin-
Fell when the days grew dark.
Although contending long dread fate
He failed at last her enmlty to cheat
| He turned with such a smile disaster
That he sublimed defeat.

Waterville's Rum Wrangle

The dove of peace has apparently
flown from the Wigwam of the Demo-
cratic chieftains in Wateryille. Rumor
IS that under Mayor Pattangall and
Sheriff Richardson, the rum sellers
were growing bolder every day, but
to the great disgust of many who nau
Loyalty supported them at the polls
II N. Pringle wrote a letter making
some pretty definite charges, and 1t
was printed in the Kennebec Jour-
nal. The Sentinel copied it and add
ed the suggestion that the situation
was up to somebody. When the
mayor got back from a trip to WASH
ington. there were some hurried con-
ferences, after which the lid went
down with bang.
Although as newspaper man MT
Pattangall was particularly Tree 10
ridicule and criticize men in public
life, he promptly WINGED when the
darts were headed his way. Presuma-
bly, he shares the opinion Of sundry
Skowheganites that feeders from the
public crib should be immune from
criticism, or at least be allowed the
privilege of editing the copy of such
news articles as may refer to them.
At any rate he pours out his soul In
a long communication in which he
implies that the Sentinel acted in bad
faith.
The only real significance to the
whole controversy is the all-round ad
mission that the Elks, Eagles ant
Owls clubs of Waterville are, or a
least have been, maintaining liquo
nuisances. U. s. licenses have beer
taken out by them all, and the gen
eral opinion is that the clubs would
not long survive a cessation of theil
liquor selling. We call attention tc
these places only because we believe
that they and their kind constitute
the greatest menace to the mainte-
nance of the prohibitory law. Nearly
all the prominent men of Waterville
belong to some one of them. What
must the working men of that city
think when they see the business and
professional men enjoying the privil-
ege of buying liquor to drink at will,
while places such as they could pa
tronize are suppressed? Could such
prohibition?

Six Fires in Six Weeks

Six alarms in six weeks is some
thing of record for Skowhegan, and
when we consider that part of that
time was during one Of the worst
droughts for years, we have a great
deal to be thankful for. First came
the blaze at the Novelty Works, and
then in succession fires at the OIL
Cloth factory in the pasture on North
street, in the Milburn Fruit store
and the Gilman and Weston stables
on the island. The efficiency of the
department in handling the series,
particularly the last two, led us to
compliment Chief Webb recently, on
the fine showing of his administra-
ton. He hardly cracked a smile but
came right back with:
Now IL you're out passing bou-
quets, just hand them all to the boys.
They put fine headwork with the wa
ter to make every drop count, and
pulled together splendidly. Fires
don't get very far with such team
work as that. OF course I'm proud of

The Arizona Recall

To us cold blooded New Englanders
the recall applied to the judiciary
seems like a pretty radical PROPOSE
ton. We may be driven to 1t in
Maine in order to put an end to judi
eial notification, but there are sew
eral things that we can see the need
of more clearly. But out in Arizona
the constitution makers insisted that
this particular device should be a
part of their fundamental law, and
the voters ratified the instrument as
whole. When the document came
to Washington for approval, lovers OF
the old order including President
Taft. objected.
To deny Arizona the right to make
her own constitution would conflict
with most peoples notions of Repub-
lican government, but happily there
remained a way out that ought to sat
isfy all concerned. Congress is to
pass an enabling act admitting Arizo-
ma as a State, but with a proyiso that
the people shall vote again and sep
arately, whether& the recall shall ap-
ply to the judiciary or not. Many
have commended that the people, in
their eagerness for. statehood, voted
for the constitution as whole, al
though onnosed TO the judicial recall
No lover of democracy can object tc
second referendum. and besides its
educational effect regarding funda-
mental problems of government, it
should have a pronounced effect upon
public opinion of the country as a
whole. If the voters of Arizona stand
pat, the forces of reaction will suffer
one of the worst defeats in years.
