Record and Opportunity OF
Maine Teachers Association.

one of the largest and most influen-
tial conventions Of the year in Maine
| is that held by the Maine Teachers
| Association whose annual meeting will
be held in Portland on THURSDAY anf,
| Friday of next week.
| This association has grown SO rap
| idly in recent years that il not only
| far exceeds in size any other trade or
professional association of this State,
| but it ranks very high among similar
organizations of other states At the
| augusta meeting last year there was a
total enrolment Of 234S. or 80 per ceht
OF the entire teaching force Of the
State. Indications point to an even
larger registration at the 1872 meet
ing.
History.
The first State wide meeting Of
Maine teachers so far as there is
record was that held at Waferville iq
1853. At this meeting an organiza
ton was affected under the name of
the Maine FdueatfonaI Association, a
constitution was adopted and pro-
vision made for an annual meeting.
In 1882 this association transferred its
records and property To the Maine
Pedagogical Society.
The Maine Teachers. Association
was organized in 1876 and. held regu-
lar meetings until 1874. when it also
became merged in the Maine Peda
gogieal Society. In 1901 the name
Maine Pedagogical Society was
changed TO Maine Teachers AS
.scciation" and a new constitution con-
tanning manX. important changes was
adopted. The strength Of the pres
ient organization was still further in
creased by the union of Maine As
ISOLATION of Colleges and Preparatory
81 hools in 1909 and the Maine AS
.seciation of School Superintendents
In 1911.
For many wears 1t was the CUSTOM
TO hold the meetings of the assecia-
ton during the Christmas holidays.
While the membership under these
conditions was not large, probably
never exceeding 500. Yet they were
characterized by a strong professional
interest and the influence of the AS
ISOLATION was recognized.

THEN AND NOW

Editor Evening Bulletins
Harry Corson Clarke frees himself of
some pcnt-up dissatisfaction In an in
tervicw which reflects upon Honolulu
as show town when, really, II is no
place to snub. Those who knew con-
ditions expressed the opinion that Mr..
Clarke's visit could not be the sue
cess he anticipated as shown in his
before-arrival communications. The
prophesy was based upon the fact that
the Honolulu of today is not the same
as he visited with Tim Frawley and a
practically all-star company, playing
three nights and a matinee a week.
Honolulu was then home town and
the citizens were hungry for what
Frawley had to give them. Mr.. Clarke
was unit in the company with a
willingness to be more. He was we'll
received, as was all of the company,
and the plays were, in measure, new
to. majority of the people and so
well acted that the public literally fell
over itself In the effort to secure seats.
II may be truthfully said that Mr..
Clarke furnished the salt to the dishes
served and the seasoning was quite to
the taste of the people who showed
their appreciation by liberal applause.
This may have given Mr.. Clarke the
impression that the seasoning has
hung on the palates of the commun-
ity during the sixteen years that have
elapsed since that first visit. II Is
possible that more have forgotten his
connection with the Frawleys than re-
member 1t. Public and Republics arc
ungrateful and prone to forget. Be-
sides there Is the. tabloid drama of
ten, twent, thirt, to get the throngs.

etc. The difference, II any, is so
slight 1t fades from sight and it's
always Cornson Clarke.
The stage settings have been ex-
tremely poor, the action usually drag

of the latest play; also II Is quite
wrong to blame an audience for not
cnthusing the actors, when ii Is up to
the actors to electrify the audience
The selection of plays to he presented
could easily have been bette"ed.
Mr.. Clarke has slipped into tho
same bog that has mired so many in
these days OF comfortable travel and
growing profits from Island invest
ments -. days Of speedy mails, wire
less te'cgraphy. etc, etc. Honolulu
people keep well posted; the mainland
Is only one week away and very many
people trip back and forward. Que
man went over to meet his wife and
escort her back on a boat leaving y
few hours after his arriyal--just like
San Francisco To Oakland. People
here are discriminating, and travel
and a great many are well educated
and refined. Mr.. H. Cors0n Clarkc's
company in any first-class city would
be rated third or fourth class II
takes the same rank here. Mr.

What Happened to Jones" was
learned years ago when the Ellcfords
and the Buffers presented their tank
circuit companies and why Smith
Left Home" was confided to Honolulu
theatergoers by those same players.
1t might be inferred, Justly, too, that
Clarke was under the impression that
Honolulu knows not the difference
between citrus fruits. SO much
wealth has poured into the Golfers of
individuals here during the past de-
cade that they are enabled to go
abroad and see things; they are as
up-to-date as persons on the mainland
and they demand up-to-date theatrical
productions, II the price for such is
demanded. Honolulu Is no longer the
dog town where indifferent companies
may be tried, with profit to the man
ayers.
With the great masses the taste for
the good in theatricals has not been
elevated and those people will not pay
Clarke prices. Even with the better

nights week, with Il matinee, and
having frequent changes Of program
might do as well as Frawley at the
dollar price and Mr. Clarke may con-
slider himself fortunate that he sold

receipts for one night last week will
serve to prove the desire of Homo
lulu for entertainment:

Many persons do not realize that a

one of the principal causes Of dys-
