the state assessors Is the securing of
the valuation of property in townships

pose that the visit to these two UNI
organized townships was made. In the
TWO townships much valuable prop

which would equal in amount that Of
some quite prosperous towns of the
state.
In lockwood much valuable cottage
property around Moosehead lake was
noted. This township is the terminus

a mile wide and several miles long
along Moosehead lake and has a rap
idly growing population as we'll as

are carried on with the most approved
modern methods. motor trucks being

Of the old fashioned Jumper" sleds.
The trip has resulted ir the addition
of many thousands of dollars worth Of
rev property to tna list and an in
creased valuation of property already
listed. The trip was a very satisfac-
tory one to the assessors from every
point of view.

Mrs. Frederic Shoff of Philadelphia,
the president of the national organl-

satisfaction for having been privileged
to hear it, Dr. ". (. Thompson. pres!-
dent Of the local Parent Teachers AS
ISOLATION, presided.
Mrs Schof. who is A most enter
tanning and convincing speaker. told
of child welfare work in our country
and what ought to be done in the
if the children were properly taught
and looked after by the parents half
of the work of the courts would he
done away with and half the jaiis
closed. She advocated the early teach
ing of property right. She also stated
that with proper Gaze of the health of
the children, 100000 less babies would
die every year. AS it was now there
V ere 5000 that died and it was pos
isible with a proper knowledge of child
hygiene and welfare to reduce the an
nual death rate 20 per cent.
She said that it was only within the
last three years that the federal gov
eminent had aided in child welfare By
placing facts and figures obtained
from research by the government IN
the hands of the fathers and mothers
of this country.
She told the local organization that
the best way of getting publicity for
its work was to accomplish something
worth while in the way of child well
fare. She spoke of the meeting of the
state Teachers Association, Oct. 81, in
Portland, and said that the associa-
ton desired to work with the Con-
eress and Parent Teachers Associa-
