Maine schools have shown ooneideeable
gain In recent years. In 1907 the aver

imately $50 days or % school weeks. II
1918 this had BEEN increased 10 164 days
and for the past year further gain OF

net increase OF 10 days or moro than 8
school weeks in the Z year period. The
act Of the Legislature Of 1909 In raising
the minimum school year from 20 to %
weeks was undoubtedly responsible In q
large measure for the increase.
Last year there were 139 towns and
cities In tho State that maintained theii
schools for at least $50 days. This 10 the
ideal school year for the majority oil
towns. On the other hand 820 towns
maintained school year that was short.

weeks between various municipalities ID

legislative action should further remove
