Interesting Notes
Regarding Schools

| The following information regarding
the schools of our State has been Civ
en- out by the State superintendent of
| schools:
Last year Maine enrolled litrie
more than 1860 children in one room
country schools. Somewhat more
than $4,000 were registered in the viii
lage schools of the State, while APP
proximately $4,000 attended city
schools. An interesting feature of the
returns made by the local superin
tendents shows how these children
We're distributed in the several grades
| Thirty one thousand were in ungraded
| schools. OF those in the graded
schools 5000 were in the first grade
| of the primary school. This number
gradually diminished up to the 9th
grade which showed a registration Of
about 400. In the first grade there
were 200 more boys than girls, while
| in the ninth grade the girls outnum
bered the boys, $50. The tendency of
boys to leave school at an earlier age
than girls is strikingly indicated by
these statistics which emphasize the
necessity of increased efforts on the
courses and work that will appeal as
profitable to older boys.
In Maine schools last year 1921 chill
! dren were repeating the work of a
grade. OF this number the great ma
jority 1886 were boys. These figures
emphasize the Importance of individ
| ual instruction and other means which
| will prevent the educational and
economic waste that must follow an
unnecessary repetition of school WORT.
At the Conference of School Supern-
tendents held at Castine, in July, Vari-
Gus methods of preventing this waste
We're under discussion and a number
of superintendent explained how they

that these gentlemen should in this pub

the generous work they have done.

Enforcing the Auto Law.

ITO begin with there is the enforcing
of the automobile registration act. 1t is
gratifying to know that the financing OF
the bond issue by the application of the
auto fees, a plan, which, when suggested
was subjected to some criticism, is now
made certain by the great increase OF
these fees for the current year While
in 1872, the total receipts from this
source We're approximately sl85600, up to
, the present time the receipts are in
round numbers s135.000, an increase oil
practically 300. While this means that
/, the bond issue will be easily taken care
of both principle and interest. and leaves
substantial fund for maintenance, il
| is still fact that the State does not yet
receive the amount to which it Is en-
titled. Thousands of unlicensed persons
are operating cars contrary to law
many non-residents, although passing
the entire summer period in Maine. dc
not pay the fees as required by law after
the 30 days limit has expired; many per-
sons are using numbers which are not
the official plates of the State; many
garages and dealers are permitting their
special plates to be used long after the
cars have been sold, thus defrauding the
State of its just dues.

Names of Highways.

There is another matter upon which
We desire the suggestion of your board,
the proper naming of our state high
ways. This may seem rather a trivial
subject, but to my mind it is an impor-
tant one. The first suggestion along this
line came from Mr.. Marston of Var
mouth, at a hearing recently held there.
We want the beautiful roads of Maine
to eventually become as We'll known as
the Lafayette road. the Lynn boulevard,
the National highway from Baltimore to

ings have already been held and which
are in process of being designated as
State highways are through routes of
travel from Kittery to Portland, from
F'ryeburg to Portland; from Portland
to Brunswick, Bath, Rockland anu
Belfast; from Portland to Lewiston,
Winthrop and Augusta and from Au-
burn to Pennington and Rangeley. y
hearing on the route from Augusta
to Waterville via Belgrade and also
via Vassalboro, thence extending to
Skowhegan, through Somerset coun-
ty to the forks of the Kennebec and
the Canadian line will be held, on Oc-
tober s. our purpose is to first map
out a complete network OF inter-county
State highways and then proceed as
rapidly as possible and as far as the
funds will permit to develop this en-
tire system.
Scarcity Of Engineers.
"While we are pushing the surveys of
the State highways as rapidly as posi-
BILE, having field parties already estab-
lished on the Fryeburg road, the Bath
road and the connecting links of the Kit
terry road, we are much handicapped by
the scarcity of engineers for carrying on
this work in addition to the many State
aid and bridge projects already in hand.
IN this connection it may be inter-
esting to learn that the commission is
cooperating in a substantial way with
the state university at Orono. The Off
Gals in that institution are showing
splendid zeal in the matter of highway
construction.

MAY TEST MILK ORDINANCE
Minneapolis Case Going to Federal
Supreme Court.

Attacks on the stringent pure MILK
regulations of several large cities are
to be made before the supreme court
of the United States.
An attempt will be made, shortly
after the court reconvenes on April Z,
to show that the Minneapolis ordi-
nance requiring the "tuberculine test"
of cows supplying the milk brought
into the city is unconstitutional. On
the same day the court is expected
to announce whether it will review q
case in the local courts, wherein it
was held that milk containing more
than certain number of bacteria
was forbidden the channels of inter-
state commerce by the federal pure
food law.
The Minneapolis ordinance was up
held in the supreme court Of Mime
sofa. There an attack was made upon
the validity of the test for tubercu-
losis in cows as being arbitrary and
not supported by medical science. :

MAY ABOLISH COMMISSION
Committee Favors Change in Mime.
sofa State PRINTING,

Wiping out of the state printing COM
mission is recommended in a report
presented to the lower house of the
legislature by the committee on public
accounts and expenditures which has
been investigating the method of
handling state printing. It finds that
the commission, which consists Of the
state auditor, state treasurer and sec.
rotary of state, is not able to give the
work careful attention. The commit
tee recommends that the printing
matter be handled by the state board
of control and that the state expert
printer be made an employe of that
board. A bill embodying this plan
was introduced by the committee.
The house after a spirited debate
voted to pass the labor committees
bill prohibiting employment agencies
from receiving fees from common Ia
borers for obtaining positions for such
workmen. Under the measure en-
ployers would have to pay the fees.
