ident Roberts Of Colby college speaking
before the Portland High school teach
ers at a dinner here today. said in part
Il believe the college should teach
young men 10 think for themselves and
think straight. II is not enough for them
to pass examinations on what other peo-
pie think The highest social function
of the college is ultimately to provide
its world with a body Of trained thinkers.
men to whom the world may look for
light and leading-men who reallN know
how to think about economics, political
and religious problems.
u believe the chief duty the college
owes the individual student is that Of
helping him to find himself. to discover
the possibilities with which he is en-
lowed The waste of undeveloped human
material is altogether tragic. Professor
Shaler in the last book he wrote said
it was his deliberate judgment that OF
all the talent entrusted to mankind not

of helping young men to find out what

II believe the college ought without
ceasing to strive TO impress upon young
men the all important fact that liberal
education not only bestows privilege but
imposes obligation

depleted to a considerable extent and

Practically every store will be a scene
Of beauty as We'll as good bargains

cial sales and will make every induce

GARDINER MERCHANTS
PROTEST TO MAYOR
AGAINST TRANSMITS

Complaint has been made to Mayor
Lamb by several of the Gardiner mer-
chants Of the opening of stores in
Gardiner by persons outside the city
for the sale Of Christmas goods for
q few weeks at the Christmas season.
This. they contend, is unfair 10 them
inasmuch as ii cuts into their trade
at a time when trade in the city is at
its best and is unfair 10 those who are
in business the year round and who
pay taxes on their stock of goods. Inc
mayor is having the matter looked up
and stated Thursday that he believed
that the newcomers could be obliged
TO take out State licenses, file bond
and notify the collector of taxes, who
IN turn should notify the city assess
ors. The latter should then assess the
stock and charge taxes on the same
basis as that Of the merchants. He
further said that he believed that
there was statute that imposed
fine Of $50 for q violation Of the law
He now has the matter undec advise
ment to see what can be done III the
matter. Some Of our sister cities have
been through practically the same
thing in cases where stocks Of cloth
ing rad hern shipped in to be placed
on sale for a few weeks.
