"Fine Feathers" I"

In the announced engagement OF
Fine Feathers at the Opera House
March %, Monday, local playgoers will
see that rarest of dramatic novelties,
an original all star cast intact, in
which not a change has been made
since it's opening performance more
than a year ago. This cast is really an
all-star affair." and not simply that in
name. 1t is composed of such players
as Robert Edeson, Wilton Lackaye
iIax Figman, Rose Coghlan. Florence
Rockwell, Lydia Dickson and ell who
participated in it's seasons run at the
Astor Theater, New York and the Cort
Theater, Chicago. After a season of
81 weeks il resumed it's New York run
again this season, and comes here al

shattered all theatrical traditions by
holding cast of such Importance to-
gether for so long a period. 1t is hoped
to keep the aggregation long enough
together to permit the original produc-
ton of Fine Feathers to be seen IN
all the principal cities of the east. As
for the play, it is easily the master
piece of Eugene Walter. author of
The Easiest Way Paid in Full
"The Wolf and THE Trail of the
Lone some Pine" The same force and
vigor, the same directness of speech
and uncompromising logic that were
noticeable in his earlier plays are to be
found in Fine Feathers" But greater
interest attaches to his latest play be-
cause the subject with which Il deals
is near to the average American

in respect to education is in their hands
and in this enforcement they should be

The Rural Teacher.
I'm a very high degree the success of
rural education must depend upon the
quality of the teaching force employed for
the rural schools. The teacher of rural
school must be skilled as an instructor
not alone in the subjects of single
5rade, but in a wide range OF studies
covering several grades and frequently
embracing the entire common scnool cur
riculum. Sne must be able through her
jwn powers to govern successfully. She
IS expected to be familiar with the wishes
and interests of the community, acting
IN some sense as the leader in the edu-
cational activities of the place wherein
she is employed. 1t is not to much to say
that the demands of country school are
sreater than those of city or village
school and that these can be met only by
he employment of superior teachers. 1t

Out OF a total common school enroll

reported as registered in village

Payson Smith of Auburn, which was
filed with the Governor and Council
Wednesday, Many of these children,
enrolled in village schools, are getting
their education under school conditions
which are similar in most respects to
those that obtain in strictly country

Continuing his report on rural edu-
cation, Superintendent Smith says:
No more than a statement Of these
agUres should be sufficient to empha-
size the important place held by the
country school in the Maine school
system and the nvressIty of giving to 1t
every possible eonsiderat tion that viii
increase its usefulness. The consider
able space given in this report
of the needs of country schools
Is justified by the prominence of the
position they should hold in pubic
attention.
The Country School and Agricultural
Progress.
No one at all familiar with the
principles underlying the economic
welfare Of the people would fail to
place agriculture as one Of the great
basic industries. The prosperity. not
only Of the countryside, but of the
towns and cities as well, depends up
or the prosperity of those industries
that are productive. The rapid move
ment of the population from the ceun
try to the city may well be regarded
IN some measure as an unfortunate
symptom in the industrial life of any
people. The present tendency to
counte1act this movement and the
growing interest in the development
Of agriculture promises favorably, not
only for the rural interests but Tor
the ccnters of population as well.
The situation of Maine with its fav-
orable location in reference to mar
kets, together with it's enormous areas
not yet brought to full productivity,
would indicate that our state would
take leading position in the rural lie
movement which has Enthusiastically be-
gun. Our people need to bear in mind,
however. that this growth and devel-
opr1ent of our rural interests cannot
come in full measure unless the edu-
cational opportunities to be offered
country children are as good as those
offered children elsewhere. One strong
rea.on for the movement toward the
city already mentioned is undoubtedly
to be found in the belief among coun-
try parents that they can improve the
educational privileges of their children
by removing from their farm homes to
the Villages and cities. Both for the
benefit of those who have remained in
the country and to attract to our ru-
raj sections a desirable population 1t
is imperative that the rural schools be
