Bandits too, and swarms Of rats;
Bulldog ants and native cats,
Stinted timber thirsty plains;
Parched UP deserts, scanty rains.

MILBRIDGE FISH
ERMAN'S VIEWS
ON DOGFISH PEST
(Bangor Commercially


Editor Of the Commercial:
Dear Sir: In the Commercial of April
8, I saw an article on dogfish, by Capt.
g. B. johnson and I must say his talk
is funny. to say the least. His idea of
the fish being a bottom cleaner is all non-
sense. / have seen them refuse bait on
trawl that a hake would bite, but as
soon as the hake would bite the dogfish
would bit him. They will clean every
fish off as fast as they will bite-all ex.
cept the heads. If they won't eat heads
on trawl. why will they on the bottom :
They won't eat when there is anything
better to eat. and in regard to that part
where he says a fisherman had rather or
to state prison than trawl through the
dogfish season. he is right in a way. but
panisn the dogf1sh from the ground and
mat man had just as soon fish in JULY
ana August as at any other time. A very
small part of our fishermen is 80 situat-
ed that they can go swordfshing in dog.
ana boys who have to-fish in the doefsh
season TO support their families. al there
is nothing else to do. I can't gree with
capt J. and I don't know of another
man on the coast who doe.

Names Superintendent Of Schools,
Offered Position of Commissioner Of
Education in Massachusetts,

Interest in State matters Saturday
and yesterday centored in the receipt
at the secretary Of States office of the
loads and loads of primary nomina-
ton papers, the handling of which
caused many hours of hard work be-
tween the time of official closing at
noon Saturday and opening this morn
ing.
The next matter of general interest
was the receipt Of the news that Pay
son Smith, Names State superintend-
ent of schools, had again been offered
the position of commissioner of edu-
cation in Massachusetts, at a salary of
$500 per year and the engagement to
be for five years.
Mr.. Smith was naturally pleased at
the unofficial notification Of the nomi-
nation by the Massachusetts Board of
Education, which took that action at
a meeting Saturday. but was unWlll-
ing to say anything about the matter.
He would merely say that he had made
no decision as to accepting the offer
and that he had not been officially no
tilted, and he should of course wish to
consult with his superiors-the Cover
nor and Executive Council-betore
taking any action. 1t is generally
thought that he will accept. If he does
accept, he will succeed DR.. David
Snedden, who recently resigned to &C
cept a professorship at Columbia UNI
versity. The appointment is also sub
ject to confirmation by the Massachu-
Council
Payson Smith has been Names
school superintendent since 1907, hay
ing been first nominated by Gov. VIM.
r. Cobb and successfully nominated
by Gov. Bert M. Fernald and Gov.
VIM. L. Haines. His present commits
sion-the third and covering a period
of nine years-will expire IN July, 1916.
His salary is $4,000 per year.
The schools of this State under his
supervision have been remarkably sue
cessful. Great improvements and ex-
tensions of the system have been made,
all of them operating for the good of
the work.
One of the most important advance
mentS IS the growth Of the union Su-
pervision system, under which more
than three-fourths of the school popu-
lation of tho State has Eeen brought
under the supervision of professional
educators. The standards of education
have been raised all along the line,
the requirements for teachers inlprov-
ed and the State certificate system
adopted, the school year materially
lengthehed throughout the State, and
the system of teachers pensions intro
duced.
To aid the work of superintendent
Of schools Mr.. Smith organized an an
nual conference which meets in Cas-
tine early in July each year. Also dur
ing his service the Maine Teachers
Association has enjoyed a remarkable
growth. and the annual conventions of
thu state association and the various

PittsfieId Water Bonds.

The Public Utilities Commission Satur'
day issued an order authorizing the town
of Pittsfield to issue its water bonds
dated March l. 1915. and payable March
1, 1885. in the aggregate sum OF $5o'ooo
bearing interest at per cent. per annum
payable semi-annually. and to sell the
same as 1892 per cent. Of their race
value, the proceeds thereof to be used IN
payment Of like amount Of bonds OF the
town, dated March !, 1885, and due Marcn
/, 1915. The commissioners in their de-
cision say:
1T appears that at the time the issue
was authorized and made the towns ON
GERS did not understand that municipal
water system was subject to the Jurisdic-
ton of this commission. and for that rea-
son no approval was then asked. We are
satisfied that there Is no question about
the good faith Of the transaction.
1.-The purpose Of this issue was to re-
fund like amount of bonds dated March
/, 1895, and due March 1, 1915. There is no
reason why every step should not be TAX
en- to remove possible technical defects
in the issue"
