A course of study is outlined for the
children at the stations and Miss Sew

carry out her instructions to the let

Teaching a class of 50 pupils scat
tered 200 miles apart as the crow
flies and over 5000 miles apart by the
land route is the unique work of Miss
Lila B. Severance of East Orrington,
who visits the isolated lighthouses off
the rocky coast of Maine and instructs
the children in the three RS and other
branches of learning. Miss Sever
ance returned Tuesday afternoon
from trip along the coast and talked
Interestingly to the Commercial re-
porter regarding her work.
Miss Severance was appointed by
the State Department of Education
Payson Smith. superintendent. early
in the summer, as an experiment, and
the plan has succeeded beyond the
hopes Of the officials so that Miss Sew
erance has been given permanent
position with the department, to travel
from one lighthouses to another during
ten months in the year. Her vaca
ton, unlike other teachers, will be in
January and February. Many teach
ers would not care for a position that
offers so many hardships and incon-
veniences, but Miss Severance is de-
lighted with the work and intends to
keep at it.
She feels, as do those who are
sending her to the lonely light sta
tons, that this is a wonderful opDor-
tunity to help people by making it
possible for children to enjoy educa-
tional advantages who heretofore
have been deprived of them. Travel
ing along the coast of Maine. ac-
knowledged to be the most beautiful
of any stretch Of land from the wastes
of Labrador to the Gulf of Mexico, is
a fascinating occupation, even if it
does offer risks and Inconvenience.
Twice Miss Severance has been lost
in the fog on her recent trip to the
stations and for a while was some
what uneasy. hut finally landed with
out danger. On one occasion, while
trying to reach Boone island light, off
York Harbor. the fog prevented her
reaching her goal. and she was
obliged to forego her expected visit.
