State School for Girls.
AT the State School for Girls at
Halloweu, the overcrowded condition
has been slightly relieved by the -pur-
chase of a house and small lot Of land
adjoining the property of the State.
which has been put in condition for
the caring of the smaller girls of the
school, but the relief is only tempor-
ary. They stin feel the serious need
of a central building in which there
could be school rooms. as assembly
hall, laundry. gymnasium and so forth.
AS it Is now. all public exercises have
to be held in a tent or in the open, re-
gardless of weather.
There is another very serious con-
dition at this school. and that is the
need Of a water system. The present
one is inadequate, does not furnish
nearly all the water required. and is
usually a dry system when needed, and
offers no fire protection.
"The proper care. supervision and
training of girls presents more dih-
culties than that of boys, and the trus-
tees feel it serious duty incumbent
upon them to do all in their power to
attain an education that will fit them
for the duties Of life. We ask your CO.

William Brennan Gives
Reasons for RESIGNATION

Rockland. Me-, Dec. 22.-The resig-
nation Of Hon. William Brennan. COM
missioner of sea and shore fisheries,
occasioned considerable surprise
among local politicians. Mr.. Brennan
was in Rockland when the news was
received here. To the newspaperman
he said:
Il am resigning this position solely
because am unable to give 1t the
time the work demands. especially
during the legislative sessions when
my presence In Augusta would be re-
wholesale fish business at Port Clyde
and as local agent Of the concern
which has bought 1t feel that all my
time is required there"
! Mr.. Brennan was qualified March 6,
1916. The nine months he has served
have convinced him that the present
system Of handling the sea and shore
fisheries is faulty. and in his forthcom-
| ing report he is likely to dwell upon 1t
rather freely.
when l took Office" said Commits
(! sioner Brennan. 40 per cent of the
Holsters which were being handled
were of illegal size. These shorts were
being taken not only to New Hamp-
| shire and Massachusetts, but were be-
ing shipped by Maine dealers all over
the country.
IA strict enforcement of the law
would have meant that many Of the
fishermen would have been obliged to
haul their traps out on the banks and
discontinue business. 1t would also
happen that the price of count lob
sters would have reached an almost
prohibitive figure.
Il believe that a nine-inch lobster
law should be tried for two years as
an experiment and II 1t did not prove
a success, repeal 1t. We would at
least be on par with Massachusetts
and our own people would be able to
obtain Holsters at much cheaper prices.
"The proper thing to do. in my mind.
is to have the State appropriate sum
sufficient to purchase spawn Holsters.
The fishermen under this method
would notify the commissioner or
nearest warden that he had spawn lob
sters in his possession. The official
would see that they were marked and
liberated, thereafter to remain the
States property.
II believe in artificial propagation
but do not believe the present method
of distributing the fry is effective.
What we need Is q rearing station
where the little Holsters can be kept
until they are capable Of taking care
of themselves"

Annual Report Trustees

ST., of Machias, Frederick w. Hinck-
ley of South Portland and Mrs. Charles
F. Flagg of Portland, which was filed
with the governor and council Friday
some changes have taken place in the
personnel of the board, caused by
designations and new appointments by
the executive, but the policy Of the
board in the management of the insti-
tutions remains the same.
I'VE still have the same superin-
tendents at the school for boys at
South Portland and the school for
girls at Hallowell," say the trustees in
their report, land the board considers
it fortunate for the State that we can
retain the services of two such ef-
ficient officers to manage these insti-
tutions, for there are continually aris-
ing problems that require skill. ex-
perience and tact to handle Alright and
their experience and judgment is a
valuable asset to the trustees as well
as to the State.
"The trustees are ever ready and
willing to help and advise, but are
careful not to interfere, and by fire.
quent visits to help and assist at all
times.
"At the State, School for Boys we
have been fortunate in the general
good health of all connected with the
institution. The boys are rugged and
healthy and ever ready to apply them
selves to whatever tasks they are re-
ouested to perform and apparently
appreciate their many privileges. They
are good students and when we realize
from what environment the majority
of them come, the progress they make
in their studies is remarkable.
"There are. and it is to be expected
that there would be, some exceptions
in such a miscellaneous aggregate OF
about 200 boys, and the need of a dis
ciplinary cottage Is very evident.
"It would seem to us that the State
should. as an economic measure. put
in a lighting system to furnish their
electric lights. as there is ample power
from their own steam plant on the
grounds that could be utilized at no
additional expense for operating.
