INSTITUTE news

Last week the monthly reports Of
the faculty committees were submit
ted to the faculty in their regular
weekly meeting. The following are
among the suggestions recommended
and adopted:
| The girls who are tardy or absent
from class without excuse shall suf-
! fer reduction in monthly grade. in
proportion to time lost and on repe-
tition be dealt with more severely BY
assigning of demerits. This ruling
| was made to conform with q similar
one previously adopted with refer
ence to boys. Failing to make re-
Quired monthly average in more than
one subject debars student from rep
resenting the institution in any liter
ary or athletic event. Previous rul
ing allowed failure in two subjects.
Town students again forbidden to
visit the dormitories without express
permission.
Assignments of punishment as to
tou and dement's be left to teachers
reporting violation of rules. Tours
preferably to be assigned to younger
students.
General discipline in school report
ed exceptionally good. Only two 80
rious breaches of rules since opening
of school. Offenders promptly dis
missed
Athletics were heartily indorsed and
greater activity on part of faculty In
this regard urged. Athletics are now
at critical period as the institution ia
passing from secondary school class
to college type. This needs all SUP.
port possible from students, faculty
and patrons.
During the first week in December
an interesting exhibition of jana
nese will be held in the Library of
the Institute conducted by the Art
Department These bits of art make
the choicest of gifts and with Christ
mas following the date of the exhihk
SO closely, all will be interested in the
fact that number of prints will be
for sale at very reasonable prices.
The Alumni Association of the Insti.
tute has kindly consented to assist in
the management of the exhibit and
the sale of the prints, the proceeds Of
which are to be added to the fund ai
lotted to scholarships-known as the
Alumni Scholarship Fund.
The exhibit will be open for visi

Pay Less for Seed.

Houlton, Me, June 16.-The con
tiuued rains which have visited Aroos-

weeks, viii curtail to a certain degree
the potato crop in this section.
Up to few weeks ago, practically
80 per cent. of the seasons planting
had been completed and this was done
when seed was selling at from SO to
$i a barrel All the seed that was
put in on well drained land is coming
along in fine shape. in fact the wet

in good shape; bur where seed was
planted on low ground and did not
get started previous to the wet wealth
er, il will he a total loss and must
he planted over or used for other pur-
poses.
one advantage which those will
have who viii replant is that the seed
will cost only about a quarter as much
as earlier in the season, as it is now
worth only 81 barrel. The cost of
seed is quite an item, as it takes from
six to eight barrels of stock to plant
an acre. The fertilizer Will in most
cases be available for the replanted
crop. Replanting can safely be done
as late as July /.
