From a medical standpoint the hor-

The first teachers meeting of the
spring term was held in the City
building Monday afternoon. Besides
the regular business, the superintend-
ent of schools briefly outlined the
tests of efficiency" which are to be
given during the coming term. Com
mittees were also appointed to con-
slider preparations and plans for the
annual school exhibition. to be held
during the latter part of May. The
individual teachers were instructed by
the superintendent to encourage home
gardening among tine younger students
and to influence the parents to take
an active interest in the work, allow
ing the child to plant, raise and care
for the garden properly.
The superintendent also recommends
(not prohibits) that parents, having
children under seven years of age, who
have not previously received instruc-
ton, should refrain from sending them
to school at this time of the year as
they are not apt to make very good
progress.

of West Gardiner, has a unique hitch
up. A black lamo has been trained to
haul a vehicle about a yard and along

school at Spears Corner has been con-
solidated and the same teacher re-
tanned as taught the intermediate

kinley school by Johnnie Curtis.

GARDINER ASKSCONY
TO CIVEEXpLANATION
ON BASEBALL MATTER

The opening of the baseball season
as far as the Kennebec valley is con-
cerned is rapidly approaching, in fact
it is understood that Gardiner High
will play her first game on Saturday,
April IS, with Oak Grove. The sched-
ule has not as yet been made public
for the very good reason that 1t is as
yet untitled Fact is the general pub
lie and doubtless the boys themselves
have anxiously awaited some indica-
ton from the Cony High that Gardi-
ner and Cony will play the customary
games this season.
No word to this effect has been re-
ceived, possibly because the members
of the Senior class were on their
Washington trip when the newspaper
articles were published.
Chester H. Beane of this city has
ever been an exponent of manly and
clean sports and is anxious to see the
relations between the two schools con-
tine as far as athletics are concerned,
and in more sportsman-like manner
than has been the case in years past.
To this end he has decided to offer
a cup to the victorious school and will
in this line that has ever been put up,
just as soon as arrangements are be-
gun by the two schools toward getting
together.
1t certainly looks now as though 1t
were up to Cony's athletic manage
ment to come across with some kind of
statement and for this statement we
await.
Perhaps just a word here as regards
the Gardiner High team. Gardiner has
this year considerable new and I'M
tried material and the desire to play
is not influenced by any sort of GER
tainty that the Gardiner High school
will win. but because they dislike to
see break in our athletic relations
and the financial end Is surely worth
considering.
Cony, what do you say?
