INTERESTING PAPERS
AND REPORTS FRIDAY

Among the many interesting papers
and reports at the Kineo meeting of
the Maine Federation of Women's
Clubs was one on Friday by Mrs
Katherine c. Morrill, Of Augusta. on
Art and Literature. In concluding
her report as chairman of that COM
mittee, Mrs. Morrill, suggested
Get in touch with your librarian.
or If there is no public library
where you live, interview your hign
school principal and superintendents
Of Sunday schools. See that books
of true literary merit and good
moral tone are placed in circulation
for readers, especially the young. A
taste for better reading can be ac-
quired by this means and in time,
some of the problem" novels fo1st-
ed upon us will be relegated to the
ash heap, where they ought to go be-
fore they are published and spread
broadcast to corrupt the morals or
Youthful readers and have no elevat-
ing influence upon those Of mature~
years.
The "problem" novels and prob
solve, while photoplay comes in for
its share Of criticism, favorable and
adverse. The moving picture pro-
duction Is the fifth largest industry
in the world today and bids fair to
eclipse every other form Of enter
tainment. Many Of the films are
artistic and Of much educational
value, while others are harmful in
the Impressions produced, particu-
larly in the minds Of young boys and
girls. Pictures which are clean.
wholesome, absolutely free from all
suggestiveness. yet interesting enough
to draw large audiences can be put
on a circuit when demanded by the
picture house manager. We know
this to be a fact from personal ex-
perience.
We all know how absorbing q pa
per becomes to us while we are
composing it, but 1t is possible that
some Of our club members are not
particularly interested in our sub
ject and It is wise not to weary them
with too many details. II we omit
the non essentials and keep to the
subject matter Of our text, we soon
shall find we are able to hold the
attention of our hearers far better
than If we digress and wander off
in a maze Of descriptive narrative.
Lengthy papers are tiresome and
1t Is far preferable to have four
short papers than two long ones on
q program. and II we have time for
discussion this is an inspiration to
many who feel that they have not
the capabilities necessary to the

Some trouble is being experienced
with one of the inmates as to his per-

whether this is because of disability
or perversity. If the former, he should
be given such care and consideration
as he needs; If 1t is the latter. some
method of enforcing discipline should
be found. In any event, the use of a
mattress instead of a feather bed is
recommended and a water proof COW
ering should be provided. Unless some
means can be found of ventilating and
lighting the present dark earth closet
it's use ought to be discontinued and
a new one constructed elsewhere.
