Though it is now commonly believed
that a special session of the 11th Lcgis-
iature will be held in 1916 to pass the
revised statutes, the date Of the SEES
sion is not to be guessed out at pres
ent. 1t would seem, however, that the
session win not be called until some
time in April. 1t will require about 90
days to print the revised statutes, the
time specified in the proposals opened
Tuesday morning. The special session
will hardly convene before the revis-
ed statutes issue from the press. At
what time after the first of April the
session will; convene, is a favorite
guessing date with Maine statesmen.
1t is generally thought that Gov. Cur
It's will not fail to call the session be-
fore the summer of 1916 as he would
hardly miss the opportunity of havin g
the revision passed under his admins
tration and while the Democratic par
ty is in power in Maine. When he is
good and ready" Gov. Curtis will an
nounce the unknown date.

NJ H. Blackwell of Bath, f. II. Crane

Herbert Coffee Accident
In the matter Of the accident occur
ring on the premises of the Canadian
Pacific Railway at Barnard. Dec. II.
1915. resulting in the death of Herbert
Coffee the Public Utilities Commission
reports in part as follows:
while Engineer Peters was moving
part of the train on to the second
siding he heard groan and. looking
toward the fireman, saw him COLLAPSE
ing on to the floor of the engine. In
vestisation showed that the fireman's
skull was fractured. and further in
vestigation made 1t evident that the
injury was caused by the tircma n
leaning far out of the cab window and
striking his head against one of the
cars which constituted that portion OF
the train which had been placed upon
the other siding.
Our investigation showed that I'M
out OF the cab window he could not
have been struck and further that he
had no duty to perform which re-
quired him to lean out of the window
at all. inasmuch as all signals were
given direct to the engineer 1t. there
fore. appears that the unfortunate oc-
currence resulted from the fireman
thoughtlessly leaning out Of the cab
window, without any real necessity
therefor, and meeting with the injury
which resulted in his death at the
time above stated. We do not find that
any blame attaches to the railroad
company"

Other 'EadS Than Ours
CITIZENS OR INHABITANTS?

The theory on which our schools
arc established is that education is a
public benefit. We are so sure of the
value of our theory that we have laws
making people send their children to
school We justify the enormous eX-
peDditure on the ground that we are
making citizens out of mere inhab-
itants. The assumption is that we
they may be able to contribute serv-
ices intelligently and with effective
unanimity toward the future welfare
of the nation.
DO we teach the children why they
arc being educated and impress up
on them the purpose and aim of all
this effort We do teach them some
things. We teach them American his
tory after a fashion, and there are
courses of civics in the higher
schools where the mechanism of the
government is taught. We hold up
to the children our ancestors as par
agons of every sort of eXcellency, as
sert their bravery. their efficiency, and
their acumen. We teach them that
life is better in the United States than
it is in any other part of the world
We scarcely give them hint, how
ever, of what all this education is for.
They not unnaturalIy assume that it
is for their own personal good. The
sdea OF making a return in any form
us rarely inculcated.
Patriotism is taught after a fash
ion But it is the patriotism of Brag
and not the patriotism of Do For
our school histories teach a kind of
ancestor worship almost as debilitat-
ing as that of China. Our ancestors
courageous and brave as they are, are
sedative, mot inspiring. We teach
children to be proud of our ancestors,
but we fail to outline any definite
means of being worthy of them. Serv-
ice to- the United States is regarded
in many quarters as an exaction, 1rk-
some and not often justified. 1t may
well be asked whether we are not
training our children to be good in
habitants instead of good citizens
