SWIMMING INSTRUCTORS.
w. G. Lonefeliow Wishes to Have
Them Designated by the State.

Wilbert f. Longfellow of New YORK
City, general superintendent of the
United States Life Saving Corps, has
been a, the State House. seeking to Sc
cure the interest of Governor Plaisted
in designating swimming instructors
at boys camps and public resorts to
teach the Sehaefer method of restor-
ing apparently drowned people, which
is favored by Mr. Longfellow, and to
give general swimming instructions.
The Schaefer method of restoring the
apparently drowned is as follows:
Without delay, lay patient face down
ward on fiat surface. arms extended
above head, rest forehead on forearm,

one side, and let weight of upper part
of your body fall on Your hands.

no holding. fluids run out freely. BY
relaxing the pressure an equal time in
SEPARATION is effected when the ribs and
muscles spring back and enlarge the
chest capacity. Twelve to Is times a
minute is the time for the combined
operations"
MIR. Longfellow has been at Camp
Cobbossee. where he has organized 80
boys into patrols and has taught them
swimming instructions such as are
given by him elsewhere and to main
tain regular life saving crews.

EDUCATION NOTES

The sexes are about equally repre-
scented in Norway's ten normal schools
In American schools of the same class,
women outnumber the men more than
8 to 1.
Italy is increasing her annual ex-
penditGre for education by over 80 per
cent, according to the budget report
ed for 1928. The sum is 14O,405, 458
lire (about $2S.O00,0O0).
Swedish gymnastics still retain their
international favor. A conference re-
Gently held in Buenos Aires provided
for a still further development of the
art in Argentina.
School authorities of Leipzig, Ger
many, are fighting the smoking habit
among school children. 1t is reported
that in one school so per cent. of the
pupils smoked, in another "a per cent
and in still another "a per cent.
Crowded conditions in public schools
are not confined TO American cities In
Upper Austria 10 teachers in all-day
schools have so to 80 pupils; 81 teach
ers have 30 to 100 pupils; and nineteen
teachers have more than 100 pupils I'M
der their charge, according to infor-
Bureau of Education.
The idea of sending teachers to 9TH
er countries for observation and study
continues to spread. Sweden has re-
Gently dispatched to various other
countries at public expense "a elemen-
tary teachers, II women teachers of
infant schools, 4 normal school-teaeh-
ers. and 9 teachers in high schools.
Italian school children trained in
the "Children's Houses under the new
Montessori method are said to have
become ''frenzied with joy at finding
they could write. The children learn
to write in incredibly short time un-
der the new method two or three
months often being sufficient for the
smallest of the tots.
Among young peoples societies in
France one of the most interesting is
La Jeunesse Republieaine, an associa-
tion devoted to the support and honor
of the Republic. At a recent public
festival a youthful representative of
the association offered in the name of
his comrades a solemn pledge, closing
with these words: I'VE proclaim our
devotion, without reserve. to the Re-
cry effort in the acknowledgements of
the people to whom we belong, by
means of science, truth and Justice.
The English like our agricultural
SCHOOLS. After examining Cornell,
Wisconsin, and other well-known in
situations in the United States, de-
/ putation reported it's impressions in
the following terms: THE unrivaled
position of Wisconsin in the produc-
tion of cheese and butter is the direct
result of scientific teaching happily
welded to prudent legislation. If any
one still doubts these things, and
deems it worth while to go on repeat
ing the sceptical question, Can agri-
culture be taught?' our advice is that
he should go to Canada and the
United States and see the thing done,
and done upon a great scale"

sEcY. YOUNG WILL CONFER
With Massachusetts Board of Health
Regarding New Law.

Dr. A. G.. Young, secretary of the
State Board of Health, left, Thursday
forenoon for Portland and Westbrook
He WAS called to Westbrook at the
request of the local board of health
for the purpose of determining the
necessity of the construction of a new
sewer.
He went through, Thursday night
from Portland to Boston. where he will
consult with the Massachusetts State
Board of Health, regarding the new
law passed in that state, relating to
the inspection of carcasses shipped
into Massachusetts,, which will become
effeetive, Sept l.
This is matter that interests many
of the farmers of Maine. who have
at, times past slaughtered their lambs
and calves on the farm and shipped
them TO Massachusetts. Consequently,
DR.. Young will endeayor to ascertain
what arrangements can be made with
the Massachusetts people in relation
to having local inspectors in different
towns to be appointed by the local
Board OF Health and perform the in
speetion before shipment required by
law, as to enable the farmers to ship
the earcasses of slaughtered animals
into Massachusetts
If such an arrangement cannot be
perfected. Ii will be necessary for the
farmers to ship their lambs, calves
and pigs to Massachusetts, alive and
have them slaughtered in that state,
as this new law touches wholly on the
inspection Of carcasses that are of
fered for food from outside of the
State

A WORD TO
PARENTS
Look After Your Child's Health
During the Years Of Most
Rapid Growth.

School children who are nervous, who
cannot sit quietly on a chair, who are
always dropping things, and perhaps
have twitching of the muscles t the
face, need DR.. Williams Pink Pills at
once.
Growing girls who become pale and
thin, who have tickle appetites; who
are out of breath after climbing the
stairs, and who have palpitation OF the
heart after the least exertion, need
them also.
Parents OF such children should not
delay the treatment. Nervous children
do not develop properly. A sickly girl
hood means a sickly Womanhood and
lack of blood during the years of most
rapid growth means hat-chested, listless,
ambitionless men and women later on.
Pure, rich, red blood is what is need
ed. Strength for the nerves follows
naturally. The time to correct the
need of these is now, before any more
harm is done.
Miss Carrie E. Hathaway, of North
Houghton street, North Adams, Mass.
was cured OF anamia by Dr. Williams
Pink Pills after her case was pronounced
hopeless by her doctor. The statement
of her cure is told by her mother, Mrs.
A. A. Hathaway. "My daughter,
Carrie, was confined to her bed for two
years suffering from anamia. She
seemed to have no blood and was as
pale as ghost. She was thin and did
not weigh more than 100 pounds, had
no strength or ambition and could no.
sit up. Her appetite was poor and she
had difficulty in breathing. No one
expected her to get well and our minis
ter, before going on his vacation, came
to bid her goodbye as he did not think
she would live until his return We
spent hundreds of dollars but the doe
tor seemed to be puzzled and could not
help her. She had been sick for over
two years before decided to give DIR.
Williams Pink Pills trial The pills
gave her quick relief and cured her after
a fair trial She has had no serious
sickness since nd weighs 10 pounds.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are wonder
full remedy and / cannot Fay enough in
praise of them.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent postpaid, ON re-
ceipt of price, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50 by the DIR. Williams
