The grounds about Erskine hall of
the Maine Industrial School for Girls,
was the scene Tuesday afternoon, Of
delightful event, when Grade IN of
that institution, held it's graduating ex-
ereises Precision and efficiency mark
ed every number on the program, and
showed the results of excellent train
ing. Both the honor parts and the adj
dresses were highly creditable To both
the pupils and the instructors. The oc-
casion was the first graduation ever
held in the history of the school and 1t
certainly was a surprising success to
everyone.
Three years ago the methods of
instruction at the school were much
different than they are ut the
present time and were far more lncom-
petent. With the coming of Miss Ger
trude l.. Macdonald, the present SUI
permit, ndent of the school, the old sys-
TEN, which was exceedingly restric-
tive, was abolished and, at Miss Mac
Donalds suggestion, backed with the
consent of the trustees of the instltu-
tion the graded system was establish
ed. Different forms of athletics were
introduced and the girls were allowed
to associate With one another more
freely, ard the result OF this plainly
asserts itself, for at the present time
the school is credit to both the IN
struotors and the State, and it ranks
high among the similar institutions
throughout the country.

FACULTY TO ADVISE
UNIVERSITY MEN
New System TO Bring Student Body
and Professors in Closer Touch
With One Another

University. November 6.-(Speeial.)-A
new system of bringing the student body
of the university into closer touch with
the faculty has just been put into opera
ton. According to this system each menl-
Der of the faculty has been assigned
group of students to whom he is to act
as an adviser. There is nothing Of a COM
pulsory nature about the new arrange
ment. It is intended primarily to open
up the way from the student to the fac
ulty member. to relieve the student of any
hesitancy that he might have felt about
approaching a member of the faculty for
advice. The student Is given full lib
erty, and moreover is expected to call
upon his adviser. as occasion may de-
mand, for consultation, help guild
anee.
The advisers for the students in the
college of arts and sciences are as fol-
lows:
Graduates and specials. Professor
Barnwell.
Seniors, Professors Cooper, Prouty ana
Thomas.
Juniors. Professors Brownen, Doster and
Montgomery.
Sophomores, Professors Bidgood, Burke,
Lloyd and Stickney.
Freshmen, Professors Alter. Foster.
Graham. Losey, McCorvey, Sayre and SAT-
/ fold.
! The change is due in large measure TO
the great increase in the size of the stu
dent body Heretofore most of the advice
has been given to the students by the
! president and the dean of the university,
but at present with an enrolment OF
more than 500, it Is almost impossible for
| these two officials to meet the demands
made upon them by students seeking con-
i sultaton.

acted in Ignorance, because the only per-
