TWO CLAIMS HEARD
BY EDUCATION COM.

Two rather unique problems We're
put up to the committee on education
Thursday afternoon. In one case Nellie
Fletcher wants the State to pay her
5000 q balance she claims is due her
for her services as teacher in Planta-
ton 8 in Hancock county. During the
hearing it developed that Miss Fetch
er's father and brothers made up the
board of selectmen of the plantation
and the school board and that her
mother was superintendent of schools.
State Superintendent Smith explained
that the state had paid the full APP
portionment of school money to the
plantation which has since been dis
organized. He said there was no doubt
that some one owed Miss Fletcher $500
but he did not think the state should
pay. for If it did it would be paying
the bill twice having already turned
over TO the plantation all the money
that was due.
Papers given to the committee show
ed that the selectmen of the plantation
had paid the money. to someone on an
order, but just who received the money
was not known

his selection as assistant stage man

Peter. Peter. Pumpkin Eater the
four-act comedy. written by Miss
Winifred Hawkridge of Wellesley Col

other college writers. The entire pro-
duction, with the exception of the
coaching. was the work of Harvard
undergraduates and the cast was from
the New England Conservatory OF
Music Dramatic department and Har-
ward undergraduates. The Dramatic
Club this winter for the first time
presented its play in New York City,
highly successful performances being
given Dec. 20 and 80 in the Garrick
theatre, the New York critics being
very generous with their praise.
1t will thus be seen that life in COL
lege for an able ana ambitious man
means a lot of hard work beside the
book studies. which require no small
amount of ones time. because failure
to keep up in the prescribed courses
means prompt and certain loss Of all
the other privileges.

say that all the duties now devolvins
upon him in his college life have abb
solutely no terrors for him.

HEARINGS BEFORE
COMMITTEE ON
WAYS and BRIDGES

There was lull at the meeting of
the committee on ways and bridges
Thursday afternoon after Chairman
consnt asked if there was anyone to
appear in favor of the bill presented
by Senator Walker Of Somerset to
abolish the state highway commission.
Prot. George T. Flies of Brunswick
stated that he was present to oppose
the bill. but as no one was there to
favor it he did not wish to tire the
members Of the committee with his
argument.
Al this point Senator Colby of SOM
erset, g member of the committee,
stated that his colleague. Senator
Walker. has presented the bill, and
that it was sent to him by a man liv-
ing in the northern part Of Somerset
county. That man wrote Senator
Walker that he could not be present
at the hearing today to speak in IA
vor OF the bill, but could be here in a
few weeks.
Prof Files, when told by Chairman
Conant that the committee would like
TO hear him. said that the idea OF the
commission for the supervision Of the
highways of the State originated in
the minds of men who had the best
interests of the State at heart. repre-
sentati"es Of the grange, boards Of
trades and other similar organiZa-
'Iions, and their idea was to place the
highway department on a systematic
basis as other State departments.
meaning nothing derogatory to the
highway department before the crea-
ton of the highway commission.
Something has been accomplished
hy this commission and the State Of
highway Improvement" said Prof
Files. And l will further say that
there is no politics or graft connected
with this commission in any way"
Change in Law.
Eek Senator William NJ. Osborn Of
Pittsfield favored the repeal OF the sec
ton of the highway law whereby the
highway commissioners are obliged to
improve state highways seven miles in
length. Senator Osborn thought that
this matter should be left optional with
the highway commissioners.
In my county, said Senator Osborn.
several pieces of road are in need Of
Improvement. These pieces have been
improved as state roads in the past
and for the want of proper care and
Improvement are going to pieces. He
spoke in particular of the road between
Pittsfeld and Burnham.
Senator Osborn thought that better
roads would be made by not adhering'
to the law requiring the seven mile
stretch to be made This amendment
declared Senator Osborn, would give
the smaller places a larger amount of
state aid. lie further believed that the
fundamental principle of the bond is
sues for highway improvement was for
the Improvement of the roads in the
smaller towns.
