The outlook for Hallowell to have a
team in the Trolley League series this
summer is exceptionally promising
and is practically assured. Manager
George Boardman was in attendance
Monday evening at the meeting of di-
rectors held at the Augusta House and
was appointed a member of the sched
ule committee to represent Hallowell
in the making up of the schedule of
games to be played this season. There
seems to be good material in this city
for a baseball team that will be able
to hold their own on the diamond
against teams of the larger cities and
with the hearty cooperation of the
baseball enthusiasts of Hallowell a sue
cessful aggregation to represent the
Granite City is assured. A mass meet
ing will be held at City hall next week
when ways and means will be discuss
ed and plans made for the carrying
out of this enterprise. Hallowell is to
have team and she wants good one.

| Hon. Payson Smith, State superinten-
| dent Of schools, addressed the Gardiner
Parent-Teacher Association meeting Tues
day evening at the high school building.
There was a good attendance and though
the meeting was the last of the season
it was one of the most profitable and en-
joyable of the season.
Supt. H. j. Chase presided and after a
brief business session in which the pres
ident was authorized to appoint NOM
mating committee to nominate officers
for the ensuing year, introduced Hon.
Payson Smith. The speaker referred to
the progress made in the last 10 years
in the State Of Maine and said that Mr..
Chase had certainly done his share in
the progress. He prophesied that the day
would arrive when Gardiner would have
the school improvements she so much de-
Sired He spoke of the increasing desire
of the public of the State as to the results
obtained.
Mr.. Smith gave four fundamental
things this association ought to consid-
err They were, the child and his own
responsibility in his own education; that
we ask ourselves why we are giving the
opportunity of securing an education
(and the aim should not be preparation,
but GROWTH; to realize that it is the func-
ton of education not only to reach all
the children of all the people, but to
reach all the powers of all of the children
of all the people, and that each child
should get all the good possible for
growth; that all citizens should ask
themselves whether or not they are plac
