sELF-sUPPORT FOR BLIND
Maine School to Pay Them for
Work at Trades-Will Make Brooms

Portland, Me.-If the plan which
Millard w. Baldwin, the new head OF
the Maine School for the Blind in this
city, is to put into operation when
the next term OF the school opens
proves a success there will be no

This school is an industrial one,
where the blind are taught to make
brooms, cane chairs, weave rugs and
other trades such as are adaptable
to the blind. In the past those who
went there have received no compen'
sation for their labor. They were
given their board and no more.
BY Mr.. Baldwin's plan each man
and woman will be paid on the piece
system. At the end OF each week his
or her board will be deducted. In adj
dltion a certain per cent. according
to the amount earned, will be taken
out and deposited TO the earner's
credit In savings bank. So long as
the blind person remains I'm the school
this money cannot be drawn from the
bank by him or her. except by the

Judge Alton B. Parker of New York must have thought that Waterbury was a poor democratic town when he arrived at the Union depot at o'clock Thursday afternoon, day ahead of time through a amlstake of the national speakers bu- reau. There was no brass band to greet him and no mayor extending the glad hand. Instead there was only the reg ular galaxy of cabbies, who didn't recog- nize him from Gov. Johnson.
 The judge finally located Mayor Francis T. Reeves on the telephone and instantly all was activity i'll the dem- ocratic ranks while the mayor hustled down to greet him, wondering what had brought him to town ahead of time.
 The national committee got it's dates mixed and sent the judge to Waterbury a day ahead.

Education Notes,

Nearly two-rhirds of the American public school enrolment is in the rural schools.
 The largest public school building in Europe is the new continuation school in Vienna.
 Home economics is to be made com pulsory in the primary shools of Saxe- Weimar, Germany.
 The educational expenditure for Scot land for the past fiscal year was SIS, ,30O, 900. of which $84O, ,OOO was for continual tiOn schools.
 An investigation of the Prussian schools shows that an average of 16 per cent of the pupils evade the prescribed physical exercises by physicians certifi- cates or other means.
 A travelling school of domestic science has been instituted in the department of Yonce, France. The school will make stay of three months in any commune where an attendance of fifteen is guar anteed. Similar itinerant schools for domestic sciepce exist i'll Ireland.
 Some of the exciting experiences of are told in recent reports received by the United States Bureau of Education. One of the most interesting reports de scribes the eruption of Matmai Volcano in western Alaska, which destroyed a native village and buried the country for hundred miles around in volcanic ash. Three feet of pumice covered the ground where the village of Katmai formerly stood, aud the natives had to flee for their lives. They were eventu- ally rescued by the U. s. Revenue cutter Manning and taken to a new site on Ivanoff Bay, where the Government has set them up in housekeeping. A school will probably be established in the new village.
 New York's magnificent new State education building is now completed, and will be dedicated i'll October. It is considered one of the finest structures ill the world devoted to educational admin istration. It is surrounded by what is said to be the longest colonnade in exist ence. The building cost $3, ,500, 900. Prominent educators of this country and abroad have been invited to be present at the dedication ceremonies.
 The State of Minnesota has engaged Dr Ernest B. Hoag, health expert, to travel about the State and demonstrate to the citizens that rational conser- vation of the mental and physical health of children is possible and prac- ticable with the means already at hand. Three plans are proposed CD Organ ization with medical officer and a nurse or nurses (2) organization with school nurse or nurses only (3) organization by the employment of a simple nOn-medical Health-Survey on the part of the teacher only. To make it possible tor every community, how ever small, to pos ess the necessary technical knowledge, the State board of health will maintain at the State cap ital "clearing house of information concerni child hygiene, medical supervision, the teaching of school hy- giene, and the like"
