Supt. Smith in opening the confer

the superintendent Of schools and the
experimenting school committee. He
explained that the committee is the
legislative body of the public school
system. 1t lays plans. The superin-
tendent is the executive officer of the
committee. He either carries out all
plans Of the committee in person or
sees that they are carried out by 9TH
ers. He described the duties Of the
committee and the superintendent as
defined by law. He explained that
there is no authority granted to COM
mittee members an individuals. They
have no more authority over school af-
fairs than have private citizens except
when the committee is in session. The
committee itself is source Of author
ity and power and when the members
are together as a committee they con-
stitute board which has complete

experience and knowledge he should

State Agent Allan.
Harold A. Allan of Augusta, State
agent for rural education, gave a talk
outlining plan for a definite school
building program. Mr.. Allan explained
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-04-19

| that there were many towns in the
State where the money raised for re-
pairs was apparently not expended to
the best advantage. He urged that the
| idea of permanency displace that of
patching. A definite plan for school
building improvement would call for
| complete record Of the condition of the
several school buildings, in a town and
complete statement of the changes
that should be made to put every
building in first class condition
program for doing a definite
amount each year for period of years
might then be arranged continued Mr..
Allan, and in planning such a pro-
gram there would be two considera-
tions, first, to select one or two build
iEgs and make such changes in them
as to completely remodel them and
make them meet the present standards
in heating, lighting, ventilation and
sanitary arrangements, second, to
make few permanent improvements
to practically all the buildings reuuir-
ing them. The first plan has proved
to be most successful when tired. 1t

| modernize the common type of the
one-room country school. Experience
has shown that it is not very expensive
to make the changes necessary to Sc
cure first class conditions He des-
cribed in detail some Of the changes
that might be made, including the
placing Of windows to secure proper
lighting, the jacketing of the old
fashioned stoves to secure uniform
heating and good ventilation, the i'm
provement of sanitary arrangements.
Once one school is so changed over,
concluded Agent Allan, it is a com
paratively simple matter to secure an
appropriation from the town for the
Improvement Of others. In planning
such program the committee should
be sure of its estimates Of cost, should
select buildings likely to be in use for
many years to come and should make
sure that the public knows fully about
the plan especially in respect to the
fact that the work to be done in any
one year is simply part of a general
program to extend over several years.

QUARTERLY MEET
ING OF THE MAINE
0PT0METR|STS ASSN,

Inc quarterly meeting of the Maine
Association of Optometrists held ir
Bangor Wednesday afternoon was fea-
tured by some very interesting and
well delivered papers on the subject OF
optometry, its publicity and salesman
snip in connection with it, as we'll as
paper on the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
| President John r. Roche of the as
ISOLATION presided and other officers in
attendance were Secretary T. A Gil
man or Waterville, Treasurer D. O.
Chapman of Lewiston and members Of
tne executive committee, H. j. Covell of
Bangor, w. K. Easton of Portland and
r. E. Gordon of Lincoln Other MEM
bers Of the association present were

Madison, j. H. Fling Of Old Town. r. T,
Vlnlng Of Lewiston, ]. w. Sprineall of
Dexter, f. E. Bronson of Boston. r. G.
winston and H. L. Bryant of Bangor,
Mr. Easton had paper on the Oph-
tnalneWscope for studying the structure
OF the eye and determining it's health.
IL was brought out with force that
optometrlsts do not fit glasses to nm
healthy eyes and that when unhealthy
eyes are discovered the patient is turn
eo over TO medical man as optometrv
is not a practice of medicine but is
rather in department of physics in
stead OF in medical department.
Mr.. Covell of Bangor had a paper on
Optometry Publicity in which he
brought out the necessity of bringing
before the public the truth about on
tometry. Optometry is recognized bv
law In the majority Of states Of the
country. The state of Maine has rec
ognized it with others, by having An
optometry law.
All who undertake to practice optom-
etry In this state are obliged to take
an examination prepared by the board
OF examiners. One of the things OBJ
tometrists are very anxious to bring
before the people is that optometrv is
IN no way connected with the medical
profession but is related to it only as
dentistry is.
A matter that has not received great
attention perhaps, but is nevertheless q
vital item in the practice is that of
craftsmanship of the professional on
tometrist. A paper on this as delivered
by r. E. Bronson Of the Globe Ontical
GO. OF Boston brought out the vital
points In the craftsmanship of the
glasses. 1t is one matter to determine
what is needed by the patient but an
other is to call on the salesmanshin
side Of the practitioner.

The cereals or grain products, buck
wheat, corn, rice, rye, oats and wheat
furnish for the majority Of people more
nutriment than any other type Of food
material. 1t is estimated that they
furnish more carbohydrate and more
than two-thirds as much protein as all
other food materials together. They
are especially valuable as energy pro-
ducers and as one Of the cheapest
sources Of protein. They also contain
a very small proportion Of refuse, are
palatable and digestible, easily pre-
pared and preserved. AS an article of
food for children and invalids they are
Indispensable. Thorough cooking of
cereals is a factor Of prime Importance
1t not only makes the cereal more
palatable but breaks down the cell
walls of indigestible cellulose which
surrounds the starch grains and other
nutrients, thus making them easier to
digest.
Wheat is the most important cereal
because of its bread making qualities
The two common classes of wheat are
the soft" or winter wheat and the
hard or spring wheat AS rule the
hard wheat contains more protein
while the soft wheat contains more
starch. However the amount of pro-
tein present does not necessarily deter
mine whether a -four will make good
bread or not. The chief protein in
wheat flour is called gluten and is made
up of the two compounds gliadin and
glutenin. The proper proportion of
these two compounds present in gluten
as well as fairly high gluten content
makes good bread flour. 1t is the

The flavor is determined by taste
and color. Bread should have the
good nutty sweet flavor Of the grain.
A sour or yeasty smell or taste is not
allowable. Lightness is determined by
the relation of size and volume. The
bread should be neither overnight or
under-light Grain and texture are
judged by the fineness and tenderness
Of the loaf. There should be even dis
tribution of the gas, making fine and
uniform holes. No heavy streaks
should occur The crust should be an
even yellowish brown in color, about
one-fourth Of an inch in depth and
should be crisp. Ths crumb should be
creamy in color neither excessively
dry and crumbly nor doughty. The loaf
should be shapely and small enough to
be thoroughly cooked

some trouble, for, though he didn't
know it, he had planted it for her.
1t all came about just as Old Mother
Nature had thought it would. Happy
Jack never once thought of that par
ticular little brown seed, for he had
hidden plenty to eat all the long win
ter in the Green Forest. So the little
brown seed lay just where he had hid
den 1T, until gentle Sister South Wind
came in the spring and with her soft
fingers opened all the little brown
blankets of the leaf buds on the trees
which Jack Frost with his hard fingers
had been unable to open. Then Old
Mother Nature remembered the little
brown seed, and she wakened a little
fairy who was sleeping in the heart Of
it, and the name of the little fairy was
the Fairy of Life.
So out from the warm earth sprang
a tender green shoot, which really was
a teeny, weeny Pine-tree.
Jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun, look
ing down from the blue, blue sky, saw
it and smiled, and his smile made the
teeny, weeny Pine-tree very happy, for
1t warmed the ground and comforted
the little roots growing there.
