Rev. Henry e. Dunnack

Following is an abstract Of the ad-
dress scheduled for Friday by Henry
E. Dunnack on "A Responsible School
Committee"
The School Committee is the legisla-
tive body of the public school system.
The school laws of Maine make it the
duty of the school committee to man
age the schools. to have the custody
and care of buildings. direct the course
of instruction, select text books, en-
ploy the superintendent and teachers,
to appoint school physicians and give
special attention to the health of the
students. This list of duties implies at
least that the school committee is the
link between the government and the
people in the matter of education. The
committeeman has no power save only
when he is acting with, or under direc-
ton Of the other members.

Portland Me, Oct e7.-The convention
of the Maine Teachers Association con-
Guided this evening with an address by
Rev. Frank D. Blodgett, president or
Adelphi College. OH 1.-The School, tae
Strength of the Nation. The chief
speaker at the meeting of the Maine
branch of the American School Peace
League was Rev. Jay c. White, patri-
otto instructor Of the Maine Sons OF Vet
Grams, who predicted that within 50 years
tbere would be cataclysm in the Far
East beside which the present war N
Europe would be tame.
Many departmental and group sec
tions with excellent programs of inter
est to teachers of particular subjects or
in particular classes of schools featured
the second day of the 18th annual con-
'rention of the Maine Teachers Associa-
ton today. There were 10 such meetings
this forenoon and IL more this afternoon.
The most novel feature in today's
program was the steamer excursion
about Portland harbor and its 365 is
lands in Casco bay given to the teach
ers by the Chamber OF Commerce. This
sail was from II until SO as not to
interfere with any of the meetings.
The steamship Aucocisco was special
ly chartered for the occasion and the
400 tickets which measured the capac-
ity of the steamer, were all distributed
to the first applicants during the early
hours of the convention.
It was a merry party that left Gus.
tom House wharf on the Aucocisco at
noon. The weather was ideal and the
water as calm as an inland lake on a
peaceful summer day. The teachers
were delighted with the trip, and
could not find words to express their
pleasure.

?. These positions are more perma-
nent than teaching positions ordinar-
ily are. Men are wanted who will
have charge of a school farm and gar
den ell the year round supervise home
project work in agriculture during the
school and vacation months, and a
house for this teacher is fast coming
to be the common thing. The trustees
want men who will cast in their lot
with the community and become the
leading worker in it. Many of these
teachers do extension work during the
summer months. The extension activ-
tiles of these men take on such forms
as helping the farmer % to ascertain
which of his cows are "boarders" and
which are fit producers, (2) test his
herd for tuberculosis, CD encourage

purpose of interesting more Of his
neighbors and teachers Of his children
in better farming, Q4) to sell his
crops and produce, and Q5) to make
more money from the farm.
3. Teachers in these fields have
splendid opportunities for social serv-
ice. No positions are more inviting in
this respect. The teacher has the usual
opportunity Of building characters, in
addition is the added opportunity of
helping materially in establishing COM
Portable, sanitary homes and economic
farms. From the very nature of these
positions leadership is thrust upon the
teacher and only such teachers as are
capable of leadership are wanted.

pressed. The trouble is incurable, and the treatment, therefore, can only be palliative.
 The difficulty in breathing increases when the stomach and bowels are con. gested with food and water Both are to be given only in small quantities at time. Green food and cut grass should be fed at intervals.
 The food should always be damp. ened with water. Dusty or burned hay is to be avoided, as are also chopped straw and overripe rye grass.
 It is a good plan to mix a quarter of pint of lnseed oil with each feed. AS regards medicinal agents, their action on broken wind can only be temporary.
 Every dealer has his specific for this disease. Some give the animal pound of lard, or any sort of food fat made into balls, while others give a quantity of leaden shot. A subcuCaneous injection of morphia many resort to.
 These things do no permanent good, but as the palliative treatment, if care- fully carried out, is of great benefit to the poor animal, it may be looked upon as the only treatment for 0 broken-winded horse.

CARING FOR YEARL.ING COLT
There Should Be Gradual Change In Spring From Grain to Grass
 Furnish Some Shelter.

In the spring, when all the work horses must be put to work, it is often a problem just what to do with the yearling colt. It goes without say- ing that they are, in most cases, sadly neglected. If there are a few green spots showing in the pasture they are turned in there to make their living, and all the attention they receive is an occasional handful of salt
 This change from their ration of grain and hay to one of grass is pretty likely to cause considerable setback to the young horse. There should al- ways be gradual change from grain to grass, leaving the grain off entirely by the time the grass has reached it's best
 The young stock always become un. easy when the grass begins to look green and the spring days begin to warm up mother earth. They should be turned out only for an hour or two at first, and as they become more ac- customed to the grass they can be kept out longer.
 During this time their grain and hay ration should be cut down some, if they get enough grass to keep them interested while they are out. In this way their digestive organs will gradu- ally become accustomed to the grass, and there will be no disorders of the intestines when they are turned on the grass to stay. If the colts are handled in this manner for week or two it will be safe to turn them out
 The colts should have some kind of shelter for the first few nights they are in the pasture. They have been used to the barn all winter and it will be just little trying on them to re main out in the open on cool, dewy nights. If there is no shelter in the pasture they should be driven to the barn at nights for the first two or three weeks after being turned out

Broken wind Is the old-fashioned name given to the chronic lung com. plaint, associated with difficult breath. ing in which. in marked cases, the act of expiration is performed by double effort, inspiration being little, if at all, removed from normal.
 We have only to look at horses flank to see this double effort and ab dominal breathing, and press his throat with the fingers and thumb in other words to cough him in order to see if he is broken winded or not.
