The School Year.

The length of the school year is gen.
orally regarded as being one OF the tes's
of the efficiency of an educational sys-
tenn If it is TO be so regarded, then
Maina schools have shown a considerable
gain in recent years. In 1907 the average
school year for the State was approx
mately 1870 days or 26 school weeks In
1913 this had been increased to 164 days
and for the past year a further gain OF
DAYS is to be noted. This represents
net increase of 16 days or more than
three school weeks in the seven year
period. The act of the Legislature of
1909 in raising the minimum school year
from 20 to 26 weeks was undoubtedly re-
sponsible in a large measure for the in
crease.
Last year there were 139 towns and cit
les in the State that maintained their
schools for at least $50 days. This is the
ideal school year for the majority of
towns On the other hand 800 towns
maintained a school year that was
shorter than the average for the State.
In commenting on these figures the an
nual State school report points out that
a difference of so days or 10 school weeks
between various municipalities is SO
great that a desirable equality of edu-
catonal opportunity can hardly be
claimed. The suggestion is made that
legislative action should further remove
this discrepancy by requiring 80 school
weeks or $50 days as a minimum. There
were last year 116 towns that fell below
this suggested minimum and nearly all
the eastern states have already adopted
a school year of not less than $50 days,
some states requiring considerably in ex
cess of that number

REVENUE CUTTER
TO Be HOSPITAL
FOR FISHERMEN

Hospital service trips which may
occupy % days each to the fishing
grounds in the North Atlantic will be
made by the revenue cutter, Andro-
scoggin during the present winter. Ac-
cording to the itinerary for the reve-
nue. cutter the first trip will be made
among the paddock fleet from Boston,
Portland, Gloucester and Provincetown
which at this season is engaged in
fishing off the Nova Scotia coast. Sub
sequently the Androscoggin will prob
ably make a cruise to the far North
and visit the halibut fleet on Quero
and adjoining fishing banks.
AS soon as the cod fishing starts in
the spring, the Androscoggin will be
assigned to this branch of the fishing
industry and it is in this line of work
that the sponsors for the service feel
the most satisfactory results will be
obtained.
Captain Carl C. Young, a master
mariner of Gloucester, was in Wash
ington recently, representing the
Gloucester Board of Trade and other
fishing interests, to confer with Cap
tain Ellsworth p. Bertholf, commander
of the Revenue Cutter Service in re-
gard to the work planned for the An
droscoggin.
The new work outlined for the An
droscoggin is in accordance with the
amendment to the revenue cutter bill
offered last summer by Representative
Gardiner, in effect that one of the rev.
enue cutters should be assigned to
inaugurate this new branch of the
Government service.
Captain Young visited the Treasury
Department and was informed by Cap
tain Bertholf that he and Captain
Charles A. MeAllister, engineering
chief Of the service, have made ar
rangements for equipping the Andro-
scoggin for hospital service for trips
which may occupy % days each.

THE ANTIQUITY OF TOYS.
Through All the Ages Children Have
Used the Same Playthings.

Up to the present nothing with
which man has had to do in the prog
ress and development of the human
race has changed as little as toys.
Ages ago infantile Egypt played with
dolls, boats. balls, dishes, wagons, min
iature horses and other animals. The
little Greeks and Romans amused
themselves with much the same play
things, except for the further possess
sion of rattle, which some wise
Grecian gentleman very kindly invent
ed for them.
We know this from the chance words
of few early writer's, from the sculp-
lures which have been saved of the
different ancient nations which rep
resent children in the act of playing
and also from the fact that many
small toys. closely analogous to many
toys of today, have been found IN the
