Reporter Readers Widely
Scattered

The large majority of those VINO
read this paper, live in Somerset
county. Those in otner states, OF
which there are nearly a thousand,
and the few that live in other coun-
tries, take the Reporter because they
once lived here and wish to keep IN
touch with the friends and scenes OF
their earlier life, to which, let us be-
lieve, they sometime hope to return.
Outside of Maine, Massachusetts has
the largest number of our subscrib-
ers, 344. These are largely in the
textile and shoe manufacturing towns
like Lawrence, Lynn, Haverhill and
Worcester. New York has 65 sub
scribers and far. off California "a,
and about every other state is repre-
sented with from one to forty-one.
Our subscribers in foreign coun-
tries are not so numerous, but what
we can give their names. They are
as follows: Mrs. T. e. Nelson, Reiaas,
Austad, Farsund, Norway, Europe;
D. A. Williams, Hamilton, Ontario;
John Burton, Fort Williams, Ontario;
Howard H. Gaylord. Wycolor, Sas-
katchawan, Canada Elmer H. Dun
ton, Stronghold, Saskatchewan: G..
Hamblet, Estevan, Sask; w A. Estee,
Woodstock, NJ B.; eileen Carl, Elgin,
N. B.; Jack O'Brien,- Tignish, Prince
Edwards Island; Mrs. Omeril Jouvin,
Sainte Luce, Province Quebec; Mrs.
T. Donovan, St. George, P. O.; Levi
p Baker, Rainy Hills, Alberta, Cana
da; Onesmine Aubine, Bellecasse, P.
O.; Mrs. w. NJ. Green, Forres, Sask.;
Mrs. E. NJ. Breed, Vancouver. B. c.;
Luther A. Gaylord, Chavrin, Alberta;
Percy ], Maynard, Iditarod, Alaska.
These names of former Somerset
County citizens, now scattered to the
ends of the earth, have never been
associated together in newspaper
paragraph before. We would sug-
gest that they write each other, or
better still, that each send us let
ter to be published in the Reporter.
To carry out this idea, in the most
enjoyable way, each letter might be
accompanied by a photograph, either
of the author, his home or some MEM
Der of his family. We are quite
sure this interchange, through our
columns, would be pleasurable, both
to these sojourners in distant lands
and to our readers.

CATTLE GO THROUGH
INTO BARN CELLAR
The Tieup Floor of a st. Adams
Farmer Gave Away and as a Result
the Stock Fell

The tieup floor at Harry Hilton's
in East st. Adams gave away last
week and as a result the stock fell
through into the cellar. One COW
was badly injured and another was
hurt. Mr.. Hilton has an excellent
herd of registered Guernseys and it
is fortunate that no more were in
jured. The cause of the disaster
was that the barn spread.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS
Probably no method of vote get
ting is so effective as personal can
vas and yet there are many other
ways in which effort counts, very
satisfactorily, some of them easier
and requiring less time. One plan,
certainly, no contestant should over
look. Think up and ask your friends
to think up for you all the people
that have moved from your locality,
and from other parts of the county,
to other counties Of Maine or to other
states. Write out just such let
ter as you would like to send each
one of these parties, asking them to
subscribe and give their votes to you.
Send this letter to us and we will
have 1t printed SO that you can mail
it as a circular to as many people
as you wish. They can be used To-
cally, as well as for distant points,
but the parties who have moved away
are always willing to subscribe to re-

School Patrons Associations have far
greater possibilities OF good and evil
than any other phase Of near-school ac-
tiVitieS. Theoretically there is nothing
more needed nothing more desirable than
an organization OF patrons for the bene-
I mt Of the schools. 10 be valuable they
should be entirely cosmopolitan. All Siass
es of patrons should belong, and all
I classes should attend, and there should
/ be no more meetings than a large num-
! Der will attend. There should be no
+ meetings held without members OF the
I school board, the president and some Of
/ ficers and the teacher or principal or the
teacher in attendance. such an organ
/ izatiOn must be wholly and always con-
structive, never critical or destructive.
There should be no criticism OF parents
or public on one side, or Of the board OS
education and teachers on the other.
There are cases recorded where Parent
Teacher Associations have been organic
ed out OF pure seInshness, with pur-
pose to have few members, to enable
some one with a grievance to use il as
"A cloak for nefarious activity. we say
this only as a warning to ourselves. Yet
on the other hand the very large major
ity OF the associations as we know them
are an intense power tor good. Ihey
strengthen the hands Of the best mem
bers of the board of education; they lead
in every good movement for the schools;
they make for the Improvement of all
and JOY to every one in authority edu-
cationally. and they place every home be-
hind every phase OF ScnOOl NE. II IS no
thing against the principle that some
people misuse the opportunity That is
true even in religious organizations.
Now, parents OF Shawnee and elsewhere,
you have a high duty to perform If you
want the best schools and communities
for yourselves and your children to live
in, you must take up and look after the
activities, duties and responsibilities that
lie between your homes and schools.
Home and school each have their func-
tiOns; the territory between must be
looked after by joint action and respon-
sibility by intelligent sympathetic, CO.
