lied more upon moral than physical force in
governing the school and with better results.
After him came Mr. E. S. Lnnell, good
teacher, and much like his predecessor in man.
ner and method of teaching. Then came Mas
ter Rideout, an impulsive man, who did not
complete his term, and therein hangs tale. "
Saturday forenoons in those days it was the
custom to have "spell-down." One from
each of the older boys and girls was selected
to head the class, they choosing alternately
from the scholars until line on each side of
the room comprised the entire number of pu-
pills. One of these occasions the writer has
cause to remember well. A young man named
George jenkins, who had been several voyages
as second mate of ship, was at the head of
the line and your humble servant was chosen
and stood next to him. The spelling went on
for some time, our numbers being quickly
reduced. until all were down on our side
but Jenkins and myself. At this juncture
the master gave word to Jenkins that
was a poser. He hesitated and leaned a
bit toward me, and /, Of course, whispered
the correct way of spelling it. The mas
ter, seeing this, rushed up the aisle, coming
at me feather white" saying, "did you tell
him. and not waiting for reply slammed me
over head and ears with book. This was
more than Jenkins could stand and he started
for the master and there was warm "mix-up''
for few minutes. Chats id nice way to
use boy" says Jenkins, and they continued the
scrap until the affair ended in landing the
master OFT of doors. This ended his services,
and the winter term. Then came Edwin Smith,
one of our fellow townsmen, young theo-
logical student, who managed our school we'll
and the pupils were much attached to him for
his kindly interest and manner. Following him
came Mr.. E. s. Fernald, fine man and an ex-
cellent teacher, now professor Emeritus at
Orono college. Lastly came MIR. Albert G..
Manson, who had difficult time in managing
the school, but believe he worried through
the term, being glad, no doubt, to be rid of so
unruy set of boys. At this late day am
still at loss to understand how we learned
anything in a school where so much attention
was given to discipline and so little to educa>
tional matters. Seventy pupils crowded into
that little room, those in front suffering from
the heat, those in the rear with wraps to pro-
tects themselves from the cold. However we
lived through it and as far as can observe
none the worse for those conditions which to-
day would not be tolerated. Should these lines
reach the eye of any one of the old school boys
or girls of Brown schoolhouse fame, l trust it
will be of some interest, as it surely is to me.

HOWARD 4. BROMLEY
Meets HORRIBLE DEATH

The citizens OF Milford were greatly
shocked by the untimely death OF How
ara H Bromley last Wednesday after
noon. None of the large throng which
stood around his burning garage on N.
Pear Street and watched the firemen
fight the blaze had the fainteet idea
that a human being was slowly being
burned to death within. Ia fact, the
firemen considered the fire 80 small an
affair that they had disconnected, their
hose and started back to the firehOuse.
when small boy discovered fire on the
second floor Of the building. Several
men rushed upstairs and the body OF
Mr.. Bromley was found by Henry w.
Harrington, pressman at this Office,
who Immediately called several physi-
clans to the scene. All efforts to save
the injured man were Of no avail, how
ever, and he died without regafning
consciousness. When found Mr.. Brom-
ley was laying fatOf his back with arms
Outstretched. It is thought that his
clothing caught fire from q gasOlene
torch with which he was soldering some
metals. A heavy curtain was found
partly wrapped around the injured
man, which leads to the suppOsition
that he was trying either to extinguish
the flames or to escape from the room.
A cOrOner's jury found the verdict that
death WAS caused by accidental burH.
ing. Mr.. Bromley was 3 young man
who was we'll liked by all who knew
him. A widow and two children sur.
vive him.

MAKING GOOD ROAD.

LsvycOurtman John P. Carmean, oi
this town, has been busily engaged for
the past two weeks in stoniBg the Har.
EingtOn road between WoOdruff's Cor
ner and the farm OF David Vineyard
The road was first graded and dug out
for the stone, which was put on several
inches deep. 1t was then covered with
smaller stone aud rolled with a heavy
steam roller. This will make a per-
PzaDent road, aud it is practice, which
could well be followed by other road
commissioners. With the exception
of very short stretch the road lead
ing from Milford to Harrington is now
all stone.
