School TOPICS DISCUSSED.

In place Of the usual monthly meeting
OF the South Paris Woman's Christian
Temperance Union public meeting AND
informal reception was held Tuesday
evening at the Baptist church, to which
the parents and teachers were especially
invited. An affair OF this kind has fol
some years been an annual event under
the auspices of the Union. All the
teachers were in attendance, q large
number of parents, and some of the pu
pills.
The program of the evening was giver
in the large vestry, which bad been taste.
fully furnished and adorned. After the
guests bad arrived and were seated,
there was an instrumental duet by the
Misses Dean, and prayer was offered by
Rev. E. A. Davis. Mrs. E. K. Chapman
then briefly welcomed the guests, empha.
sizing the value of cooperation between
parents and teachers. The program was
then turned over to Mrs. s. G. Ordway,
the chairman of the committee OF ar
rangements.
Mrs. Ordway announced as the topic
of the evening, "Home and School," To
the sentiment, zone need of the school
child" varied responses were given
briefly by a number Of the teachers and
parents, with suggestions for the physi-
cal, intellectual and moral development
of the child.
An excellent paper on "Home Prob
lens in the School and Their Solution"
was given by Miss Jeanne Towle of the
high school, and another on "School
Problems in the Home and Their Solu-
ton" by George R. Morton.
Following these there was discus
sion participated in by Rev. G. G. Miller,
Mrs James Millett, Rev. A. 7. McWhor-
ter and Rev. c. /. Spear. Without 60
ing into the details of the discussion, it
may be said that in this as we'll as 10 tho
first part of the program, while the
teachers responsibility for moral train
ing of the child received much attention,
particular emphasis was laid upon the
responsibility of the parents for the
right training of the child in the home,
rather than leaving II almost entirely to
the school, as is so frequently done.
Miss L. Alice Wetherell read q paper
on the topic, "At what time in the
course should a pupil begin home work,
and how much should be required?"
taking the ground that at least from the
time of entering the seventh grade
(which she teaches) some home work
would be needed by the pupil, the
amount depending upon the individual.
This subject was further discussed by
Principal John S. Carver of the high
school, Mrs. W. K. Clifford, and DR..
Stewart of the school committee.
Superintendent Burr r. Jones spoke
on Health Problems in Home and
School," referring especially to the
work that is done by the school in the
interest of the pupil in furnishing plenty
of fresh air and good drinking water, in
spection of the sight aud hearing, and
in hygiene.
A selection by the Schubert Quartette,
and solo by Mrs. Wilson, were inter-
spersed in the program.
After the close OF the program, ice
cream aud cake were served, and period
of social enjoyment followed.

Christian Endeavor Union Meeting

Az had been announced, . union meet.
ing Of the Christian Endeavor societies
Of the South Paris Congregational, South
Paris Baptist, Norway Congregational
and Oxford Congregational churches was
held at the South Paris Congregational
church Friday afternoon and evening.
The attendance was good, total of 81
coming from Oxford to the meeting.
In the afternoon the program was car
ried out substantially as published.
There were present at this session Harry
Rowe Of Waterville, field secretary OF
the Maine State Christian Eudeavor So
ciety, and Rev. Jesse Hill, D. D., Of
Portland, both of whom assisted In the
program.
A banquet was served to about 125 10
the vestry of the church at 6:45.
In the evening an address was given
by Rev. Jesse Hill, D. D., pastor of Viii
liston Church, Portland, where the
Christian Endeavor movement had Its
origin. There was good congregation
In attendance. Preceding DR.. Hills ad-
dress there were praise and devotional
services, a solo by Miss Iona Noble. q
solo by B. F. Jones, and q cornet solo by
Raymond Penf0ld.
DR.. Hill is still young man, of en-
gaging personality, with red blood in his
veins and good sense of humor. he is
not only an inspiring but an entertaining
speaker, and during the comparatively
short time that he occupied he held the
close attention of his audience. After
speaking in general terms of the value
and importance of the Christian Eudeav-
or movement, especially as the distinct.
i've movement for young people whose
primary and constant purpose ia relig-
ious, he called attention particularly to
certain points In Its policy.
The object of Christian Endeavor is
persistent policy to discover young
people to themselves, to show them the
power that Is in them, beyond that, to
call out this power, and rouse them to
sense of their stewardship.
Again, it is the purpose of the organi-
zation to fit young people for construct
i've leadership in its work-as leaders in
the social life, In music, in missions, or
in other lines of work.
1t is also the purpose of the orgauiza-
ton to magnify the Church of Jesus
SuriSt, tudt Stoot lOICo WuiCu LuahoS Aoi
Righteousness, and to exalt Jesus Christ
in the lives Of its members.
A unanimous passage was given the
following resolution:
Resolved, That the four Christian
Endeavor societies represented In this
union service-South Paris Congrega-
tional, Norway Congregational, Oxford
South Paris Bapoist-
shall organize Local Union of Christian
Eudeavor, and that the following COM
mittee be elected to plan the organiza-
ton in detail and with power to call the
union together and make a program for
the same at An early date this winter at
such place as they may decide:"

Enthusiastic Republican Conference

In response to the call of bon. Fl. II.
Hastings, Oxford County member of tue
Republican State Committee, meeting
of the Republicans of the county, for
conference, was held at the court house
Wednesday afternoon. On account of
the funeral Of Judge Foster on Tuesday,
a postpouement had been hastily made
from that day, and few who here on
Tuesday, or would have been, we're not
here on Wednesday. Nevertheless there
were forty or more representative Re-
publicans present from all parts of the
county, larger number than had been
expected.
Mr.. Hastings was made chairman of
the conference, and George NJ. Atwood
secretary. The situation of the party
was discussed, and plans made to recon-
struct the organization, which was more
or less disrupted by the Progressive
movement in 1912. In the fall OF that
year the entire county committee tender
ed their designations to the chairman OF
the state committee, who pointed out in
response that he had no authority to &C.
cept them. Two of the committee have
since removed from the state, one is in
capacitated, and only one member, Hon.
Randall l.. Taylor of Mexico, was pres
eut at the conference, who announced
his intention of acting with the Republi.
can organization. There were also res
ignatious from a number of the town
com mittees, the vacancies in some towns
having been filled, while in other towns
they still exist. Measures will be taken
TO fill these vacancies.
Addresses were made by number of
those present, and the conference, which
was enthusiastic all the way through,
lasted two hours or more, until train
time. A number of the men present
stated that they voted for Roosevelt last
year, but did so as Republicans, and e1-
pected to act with the party. The fol-
lowing preamble and resolution, intro
duced by Hon. James S. Wright, was
unanimously adopted:
We, the Republicans Of Oxford Couu-
ty, in conference assembled, this 10th
day of November, 1918, hereby declare
our firm and abiding faith in the policy
of prohibition, and our adherence to
progressive principles.
The people are more prosperous under
prohibitive liquor laws, we'll enforced; ;
great trusts and combinations must be
regulated and controlled by govern
ment; the judiciary, while not above
reasonable criticism, should be inde-
pendent and free frnm sudden attacks OF
passion and prejudice.
Therefore, Resolved, that We invite
the cooperation of our former political
associates, feeling that those who think
alike upon great public questions that
are important to our well-being and
prosperity should find some common
ground of action.
The interests of our state particularly
are too precious to be jeopardized by d.
vision, rancor, prejudice and fancied
disagreement.
(Note.-In some of the papers the
above resolution has been printed with
the omission of the word "not," so that
it reads "the judiciary, while above reas-
enable criticism, etc. The correct form
