parent-reacher Corporation.


Among the present day edueanonsi
movements that hold large promise for the
Improvement OF the schools is that which
aims to bring together citizens and teacb-
ers in an investigation of the needs OF the
schools and in cooperative efforts to meet
them.
Parent teacher associations, are now be-
ing organized In number OF the cities of
Maine. These associations devote them
selves to practical work. They investigate
sanitary conditions OF school buildings
and try to find ways OF removing defects
when they are found. They assist in
promoting the physical welfare of chill
dren by bringing about medical inspection
and home cooperation. They undertake
to secure enforcement OF anti-cigarette
laws and other ordinances which aim to
protect children.
A pioneer pareut-teacher association OF
Maine is that organized at Calsis by the
teachers and citizens of that city. A
description of its work has been written
by Mrs. w. A. Murchie, and has been pub
lished by the State department OF educat-
ion to assist others who contemplate the
organization OF similar associations.

The Templar Toast. .


The idea of the Christmas toast BY
Knights Templar to the grand master had
its origin in Maine in 1873, and Stephen
Berry, of Portland, the present grand
secretary of Maine, was the originator.
The toast, although proposed and drank
at the same electrical moment the world
over, comes at different clock hours, and
the following is q portion of the time
schedule, which indicates at what hours
he drinking of The toast takes place in
different sections in order thal the same
instant may be struck: Hawaiian Island,
9 a. M; Alaska, s a. m.; Pacific time.
8 a. m.; Mountain time, 10 a. m.; Central
time, II a. m.; Eastern time, IL meridian;
Greenwich time, p. M, and Philippine
islands, Dec. 26 at a. m.
1t is interesting to note that men at sea,
particularly the officers who are Masons, of
the ships of the United State navy, and
other navies, take special bearings for the
purpose of finding at what hour to drink
the toast in order to rise as nearly as DOS
sibie at the same moment as their brothers
on land.
The toast is a pretty fraternal tribute
ana universally tightens Masonic bonds
throughout the world.

Despondent on account of i'll health,
Blithen s. Higgins, one of Bar Harbor's
prominent and successful business men,
attempted to commit suicide at his home
Sunday morning, by drinking denatured
alcohol. His desperate act was discovered
within a few moments of its occurrence,
and the prompt work OF physicians saved
his life. Mr.. Higgins has been in very
poor health since last March, and since
that time has been constantly under the
care of physicians. He was taken to
Bangor yesterday for medical treatment.

gether on Maine newspaper, the Journal is

ings are published In the journal, matter Of

What will 60 on record as one of the
queerest runaways ever, took place at
South Bluehill last Thursday. A horse,
attached to carriage. left standing near
house, became frightened and bolted
for the wide doors of shed connected
with the house. Here it cleared itself
from the wagon, dashed into the kitchen
and between two women seated there, ran
through the dining room, making a clean
jump over a child playing on the floor,
and into the sitting-room. Here the
horse slipped on the hardwood floor, and
fell. In its struggles it kicked over coal
stove, scattering burning Goals about the
floor, and demolished things about as
thoroughly as the proverbial bull in
china shop. Before the horse could find
its way upstairs, it was captured, the
burning Goals were swept up before they
set fire to the house, and the owner Of the
horse and the owner of the house began
to figure up damages.

The result of the caucus last even
ing at Augusta of the republican leg
islators- elect was no surprise to any
one in Maine except the editor of the
Lewiston Journal, who has become
obessed with the notion that he is the
only man in the State who has a
political conscience. The immensity
of his egotism is painfully emphasized
by the failure of single legislator
elect to follow his advice. Now that
''The Folks" no longer listen, to
whom can he appeal?
Ellsworth American., 1913-01-01

Mr.. Speaker Petersl That sounds
good, especially to us here in Ellis
worth and in Hancock county. We
hereabouts know him for an able law
yer, keen business man, success
full banker, and an altogether desira-
bic citizen. The two terms he has
already spent at Augusta as mem
Der of the House have made him
known throughout the State as a
broad minded and constructive leg
islator. His triumphant election as
speaker is sufficient comment on the
outrageous criticisms to which he has
been subjected in the columns of the
Lewiston Journal.

One of the matters which the town OF
Eden will undoubtedly press strongly upon
the incoming legislature will be the right,
by special legislation, to make use OF the
Australian ballot in the election OF town
officers. This measure was unanimously
asked for by the town at the annual meet
ing of 1911, and presented to the legisla-
ture, but as that body had made ruling
that no private and special legislation
would be passed upon after certain date,
the matter was dropped. Eden is big
town. and the town meeting method OF
election is cumbersome. The Australian
ballot will simplify this, and allow the
transaction of other business even while
the voting is going on.

Ellsworth boasts the youngest store de-
tective in Maine. During the Christmas
rush last week, this young man, not yet
nine years Of age, showed up at the store
of F. B. Aiken, where many articles
tempting to youthful fingers were dis
played, and informed Miss Aiken that he
was going to keep watch OF the boys who
came into the store, to see that they didn't
take anything. Armed with a long.
wooden pistol of the cork stopper variety,
this seif-appointed detective kept watch
during two long and busy days preceding
Christmas. Whether because OF his
wstchfulness, or because of the honesty
of the Ellsworth small boy, nothing was
stolen. The value of this little story lies
in the fact that it illustrates the well
known 'tstick-to-it-iveness" Of this Ellis
worth boy-a quality that will be valu-
able asset to Master Monroe Y. Nc
Gown, jr., in later years.
