Educational Department

Hon. Glenn w. Starkey, State super
intendent of schools. has returned from
Boston, where he attended the meeting
of the New England Association OF
School Superintendents, held in Boston
tlost Friday, at which there were II rep
rcsentatives present from the State Of
Maine. The Maine representatives
present were given recognition through
the election of II. II. Randall, superin-
! tendent of schools of Auburn. as secre-
tary and treasurer of the association
for the ensuing year Supt. Starkey
and the others who attended from the
state department Of education report
one of the largest and most enthusiastic
meetings in the history of the associa-
ton. A very helpful discussion Of the
organization of junior High schools was
part of the morning session program
and in the afternoon addresses were
given by DIR. 4. A. Berle of Boston and
by William McAndrew. assistant super
intendent of schools of the city of New
York. The latter who is a very bril-
Liant speaker and educator, was not a
stranger to most of the Maine delega-
ton, ha wing spoken at educational meet
ngs in this State, where he was much
liked.
Josiah w. Taylor, agent for second
airy schools of the State department
of education, was in York county the
greater part of last week and in con-
nection with visits to secondary
schools in that county three group
conferences of High school teachers
were held. One was at Biddeford, at
tended by the teachers of Biddeford
and Saco and of Thornton Academy;
another at Kennebunk was attended
by the teachers of the High schools of
kennebunk kennebunkport and
Wells; the third was at Eliot, at which
teachers from Eliot, Berwick Acad-
envy. Trap Academy and York at
tended.
These meetings were after the plan
of round table conferences and no
program was prepared in advance.
The topics discussed were those Of
greatest interest to the teachers pres
emit Among the topics considered
were: Practical physical training for
High school students; teaching pupils
to study; supervised study: methods
of instruction in various subjects;
ranking ana grading.
These conferences are the first of
this particular kind to be held except
one for teachers in the vicinity of
Mattawamkeag. They take the form
of local teachers meeting but with
added interest through the co-opera-
ton of the teachers in the several
schools. No effort is made to secure
a large attendance as 1t Is found that
in the small groups teachers are like
ly to talk more freely and matters of
more immediate interest can be reach
ed. Similar meetings will be held from
time to time at convenient points in
connection with the regular visits of
the agent for secondary education.

gusta attended the meeting of the

we are taking this too seriously? This

Griffith was punctual. He persuaded
a teamster to unharness his horse. Then
he unwrapped a bulky package. with

en-, climbed aboard the nag and started
off.
Fully 5000 men, women and children
trailed close behind. The lawyer looked
neither to the right nor to the left as
he passed Juniper steret; he paid no
heed to the jibes that greeted him along
the way. At Thirteenth street he dis
mounted, led the horse back to its own
er and laid the chicken and fish on the

Two Wonderful Clocks,

/ One of the most wonderful clocks in the world is owned by a Frenchman, Louis Descutter. It is mounted on a Louis Seize stand and has four faces. Besides marking the hours, it shows the tides al six different parts of the world, the mean time and the solar time, the age of the moon, the move ments of the planets and all eclipses. It is also a perpetual calendar It was made by Janvier of Paris in 1TS9 and took eleven years to manufacture.
 San Diego, Cal. has a wonderful clock with twenty dials, which tell the time simultaneously in all parts of the world, also the days of the week and the date and month. It stands twenty one feet high, and four of it's dials are each four feet in diameter. It is in closed in plate glass, so that every ac ton can be seen, and the whole is illu- minated, every night. It is jeweled with tourmaIine, topaz, agate and jade and required fifteen months to build. The motive power is POO pound weight. The cost of the clock was $3.- OOO.-People's Home Journal.

Styles In Indian Names.

Although among the Indians there are not so many Deerslayers as there were in the days of James Fenimore Cooper, yet many of the names still possess strong individuality. This is shown by examining the names that were prominent in a recent sale of In- dian lands in the Standing Rock reser- vation, in the Dakotas.
 Here, for instance, was found Bar ney Two Bears, an amiable neighbor to Miss Katie Good Crow. Melda Crowghost and Mary Yellow Fat have adjoining tracts. and there are also Mrs. Crazy Walking and Jack Elk Ghost in the same section.
 It is not to be wondered at that Mary Lean Dog looks enviously from her door when Agatha Big Shield goes by with her aristocratic name, nor could any one blame Jennie Dog Man and Mary Shave Head if they fell all over themselves to assume on short no tice the heroic name borne by Morris Thundershield, heir apparent to Long Step Thundershfeldt- New York Times.

Lines on the Palma of Hands.

It cannot be said tha5 the lines on the palms of our hands are of any great service to us. Indeed, it is doubt full if they are of any value in them selves, outside of the possible aid they may be in helping us to determine the character of the surface of things which we grasp or touch It is possi- ble that they aid in some slight degree in this way. There is little doubt, however, that they are result of the work the hands are constantly called upon to dc rather than contrived for any particulaf service. The habitua1 tendency of the fingers in grasping and holding things throws the skin of the palms into creases which through ire quent repetition make the lines of the palms permanent in several instances.
 The pecularity of these lines or creases in various individuals as to de- tails and length and variations is the chief basis of the so called science of palmistry.-Exchange

The Wild Camel of Spain.

! Who would imagine that there are wild camels in Spain, and in part of Spain which is flooded during a great part of the year? Yet the thing is vouched for by the authors of "Unex- plored Spain" The explanation is that ''the animals were introduced to Spain in 1929 by the Marquis of Villafranca, with the object of employing them in transport and agriculture, as they are commonly used on the opposite shores of Africa. But local difficulties en- sued, chiefly arising from the intense fear and repugnance of horses toward cameIs, which resulted in numerous accidents, and eventually the bactrians were set free in the marisma, where in they have since lived at large and bred under wholly wild conditions

Lanan,s Curious Mueeunn.

Probably the very oldest museum in the world is that at Nara, the ancient capital of Japan. It was founded in the year 756 A. D.. and all the articles therein are of an earlier date, for, al though Nara has gone through all the vicissitudes of the empire, not one new article has been added to the colIec- tion. The museum is in safe and care full custody, and it's doors are opened only once every year. On that day committee goes over the collection, tab ulates it and compares the list with those made previously. The 3,OOO ar ticles in the collection are of lacquer ware, decorative furniture, enamel ware, cambric-like fabrics and of other kinds and are among the very finest of their species fat the world has pro- duced. Some come from China and some from Korea, but most of them appear to have been brought from lands further afeld.
