says of Miss Abbie C. Stoddard, formerly of
Belfast:
| 'ln great many ways find P. H. S. to be
the best school l have taught in and | have
taught in good many" said Miss Stoddard of
the Science department. "The freedom which
we have here gives us fine chance to become
acquainted, and the hour system | believe is
| splendid when used to advantage" Miss Stod-
dard made suggestion which we may consider
noteworthy. THE average person works eight
hours day. she reasons, "and since the ma
jority of US live in bungalows where an undis-
turbed place to study is not often available. /
think it would be a splendid plan to have an
eight hour school day. all school work being
done at school," We glad to welcome such
enthusiasm and interest as Miss Stoddard shows
and we find her truly delightful in her sincer-
! ty.
