SEEKING FIRST PLACE.
Cony Confidently Hopes to Defeat
Deering High, Saturday.

One of the most important games for
the Cony High school baseball team Will
be played. Saturday afternoon, on the
Reuel Williams field with the Deering
High school baseball team of Portland.
The Deering High team has won every
game 1t has played in the Bowdoin
League, this season, and is considered
one of the strongest teams in the State,
but this does not phaze the Cony play
ers and they feel confident that they
will take fall out of them when they
meet Saturday.
The Cony lineup will be practically the
same as the one which played and
trimmed Edward Little High IL to B.
Wednesday afternoon, but there may be
change in right field. as Coach
Wandtke is looking for the man to fill
this position who can hit the ball the
best.
If Cony wins this game 1t will have
first position in the Bowdoin Interscho-
lastic League. The standing of the
league is as follows:

A REFERENDUM
OF the Parents on Six-Period Plan
for Cony High School.

L
| The following letter was sent out,
| Thursday to the parents of the students
of Cony High school by Supt. Marshall:
Augusta, Me-. May %, 1912.
To the parents of the Pupils in Cony
| High school:
The total enrolment of Cony High
school for the past year is 905. Four
years ago ii was 1877. an increase of liz
in four years. The indications are that
the enrolment will be over $50 for the
coming year The organization of the
school is what is known as a five-period
organization The sessions are from
$50 4. NJ to / +. M, divided into five
equal recitation periods of about three
quarters of an hour in length. A FIVE
period organization requires a teacher to
every 25 scholars of the total enrolment.
That means if we continue the present
organization of the school, that for every
% increase in its total enrolment, it
will be necessary to employ an addi-
tional teacher. AS result the cost OF
instruction in the school has been rapid
Iy increasing. An additional teacher was
employed last year. Another must be
employed for another year, if the present
organization is continued.
Nearly all High schools in Maine and
Massachusetts the size of Cony High
school are on a six-period organization.
This organization has a school day OF
five hours. generally from A. M. to |
p NJ, and is divided into six equal
periods. such an organization requires a
teacher to every 30 pupils. The saving
in the cost of instruction under the six
period organization over the five-period
organization is about one-fifth.
am sending this letter to the parents
Of the students. who will attend tony
High school next year, to obtain their
opinion Of the ACCESSIBILITY of changing
from five-period to six-period organ
ization. The advantages to be obtained
are greater economy in management Cthe
saving of at least $500 year in the cost
of the teaching force within short
time): an additional half hour each day
for the pupils in school to be added to
their study time The chief disadvantage
and practically the only one, is the COM
mencemenf OF the school one-half hour
earlier in the morning. ] am confident,
however, that the Inconvenience arising
from this will be only temporary and
once the habit of commencing school at
s o'clock is formed, that there will be no
apparent difference from the present
plan.
Will you. as parent of pupil in
Cony High school kindly answer the fol-
lowing question and return either to Mr.
Stuart or myself before June 1?
Would Won think it advisable for the
Cony High school to try, for one year,
the six-period, fve-hour plan, the school
session being from a. NJ. to PM?

Superintendent of schools.

GENERAL WICKER
SHAM AND THE NEGRO.

Under the caption Stands by Ne
gro" dispatches from Washington
state that Attorney General Wicker
sham has said that he would resign
from the American Bar association
if that organization sustained the ac-
ton of its executive committee in GUST
ing w. II. Lewis, a negro, and an
assistant attorney general, from
membership. :
Ii is TO be sincerely hoped that the
association will carry into execution
its Intention of ousting the "colored
brother" from its roster. No matter
if Lewis were twice over an assistant
attorney general the fact remains
that he is just as much a negro as
was Booker Washington, even after
he had hobnobbed at the table as
social equal of Theodore Roosevelt,
president Cf the United States.
Let the Bar association drop the
negro Lewis from its list of members
and then stand ready to accept the
resignation Cf Mr. Wickersham, and
il will have raised the standard Of
its membership by 100 per cent-10
per cent by dropping the negro and
90 per cent by purging itself OF the
negro equalizer.
Mr.. Wickersham says that he is
not fighting tC see that the negro re-
mains a member of the association,
but that he is waging war against
the idea that the American Bar asso-
citation could do a thing which he
considers Illegal. If this be his true
reason why not let the negro fight
the matter out in the courts? If the
ASSOCIATION has no legal right to- bar
the negro from the rights and priv
ileges of membership he has recourse
at law, and all Mr.. Wickersham's
bomhas' will amount TO nothing as
far as deciding the legal phase of
the matter Is concerned.

KAFF|R CRAZE
NOT POPULAR
SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA is NOT
READY TO REPLACE ITS GREAT
MONEY CROPS WITH FORAGE.

In agriculture as in politics the
pendulum is inclined to 90 from
one extreme to another. Oklahoma
has been planting TOO little land
to forage crops and the tendency
this year is to plant too much. Tho
adv ice published that each far
mer should have from % TO - acres

Robert +. Scrally, in speaking OF
the kaffW craze yesterday, said that
he had lived in this country since

length of time, such year as l9l
may never occur again, kaffir ana
all other crops for use as forage
mas a place on the farms, but too
mach kaifir will result in loss.
William +. Warren says the Ard
nor"ite is right in condemning too
much kaffir According to Mr.. War
reu, kaffir has place in agricul-
Iure in southern Oklahoma, but il
must not be allowed 10 take the
place Of more profitable crops. Every
farmer should have some forage

Arthur Walcott is of the opinion
