Mt. KineO Has Finest Fire
Watch Tower in the World

Up on the top Of Mt. Kineo in the
Moosehead Lake region is now being
erected what is supposed to be the fin
est watch tower for fire purposes in the
whole world. Hon. Forrest H. Colby
of Bingham, state land agent and forest
commissioner. has just returned from
a trip to the Moosehead country and
while there the final steps for the erec-
ton of this look were completed
and the work has been given a good
start
There are other places in Maine
where fire wardens have more lofty
pcrches, but there is no place where the
tower itself is so stable or so convent
emily built. The steel used is twice as
heavy as that used for any other tower.
Further than that, instead of the tops
being reached by a ladder as is the
case with other towers. there are con-
venient steps ascending to the top Of
this lookout so that the hundreds Of
summer visitors who go to that region
may have a chance to go to the top and
secure A view Of the magnificent pam
Drama that stretches out for so many
miles on every side.
For all there has been a lookout sta
ton on Mount Kineo for eight years,
no attempt was made to erect a tower
here until Mr.. Colby came into Office.
The tower is a joint affair, and be-
cause Of that, the state is securing at
much less cost, a much better tower
than is usually erected for purposes Of
this kind.
The material is being paid for by the
State Forestry department. the Boston
& Maine and Maine Central Railroads
are transporting it to it's destination,
the Kicker Hotel Company has taken
1t to the mountain and is boarding the
workmen and the Kennebec Valley Pro-
tective Association is paying for the la
Dor. The exact spot for the erection Of
the tower was recently selected by Mr..
Colby and Col. Charles A. Judkins
manager Of the Mount Kineo House.
The work Of erection is under the di-
rection Of John S. Straw Of Lewiston.
Moosehead lake itself is 1000 feet above
the level Of the sea and Mount Kineo
towers 500 feet higher. The tower
itself is 40 feet high with the
most modern kind Of house on top
and coy dwelling at the base. The
station is under the care Of Louis
Cakes Of Greenville, chief fire warden
and head woodsman for this section
while Melvin S. Blethen Of Foxcroft IS
the watchmen stationed at the tower.

State superintendent Of schools and the
State Board Of Health of all plans for
repairs to buildings in excess of $500.
An increase in the amount of the appro-
priation for the inspection of secondary
schools will make possible the extension
Of this work to include special attention
to courses in agriculture and also teacher
training courses in academies as we'll as
other courses in such schools as it may
seem particularly desirable.
The High school tuition law has been
amended so that the maximum liability
of towns not maintaining standard High
schools is increased to s36 for each pupil
attending secondary school outside the
town. The State aid in reimbursement is
correspondingly increased.
BY another amendment towns main
tanning High schools Of Class B are liable
for the tuition Of pupils for the last two
years Of a standard course even though
they may have taken the first two years
of work in a school of equal grade outside
the town.
An increase in the appropriation and an
amendment to the law relating to teach
ers' associations will make possible the
holding Of larger number Of smaller
group meetings than has heretofore been
authorized.
Kindergartens will now be recognized
as a part Of the school course by an act
making legal the attendance Of children
four years Of age in such schools Upon
the petition Of the parents Of 80 children
between four and six years Of age. a kin
dergarten is to be maintained unless the
towns vote otherwise. 1t should be not
ed that this does not affect the school
census.

Where there is a market for lumber
and fuel the wood removed by the i'm

advantage.
Under such plan a new forest Who'll
ly of useful trees can be had by the
underplanting. After eight or ten
years the remaining trees of the old
stand can be removed. Because of the
larger growing room and greater sup
ply of light which they will receive
they will have made rapid increase
in girth during the period. On steep
slopes the underplanting will tend to
hold the soil in place and to prevent
washouts on the hillsides.

The question Of diet and food ex-
penditure has become a matter in
sistently demanding the attention
of individuals and governments in
the present crisis. Armies and
navies cannot fight without food.
Food must be preserved. Nations
must be fed. Millions of people
across the seas look to us for a large
part of their food during and i'm
mediately after the war. All
European nations have instituted re-
lief measures requiring the wise ex-
penditure of food and the eliminat-
ion of waste. Germany has pre-
scribed scientific diet not only for
the army but also for the nation.
We alone among the allied nations
continue our extravagant expendi-
ture along the old lines of financial
waste and physical injury.
To every household President Will
son says: LET me suggest that
every house wife who practices
strict economy puts herself in the
ranks of those who serve the nation.
This is the time for America to
correct her objectionable fault of
wastefulness and extravaganza.
Let every man and every woman as
sumo the duty of careful, provident
use and expenditure as a public
duty, as dictate of patriotism
which no one can now expect to be
excused or forgiven for ignoring"

War conditions abroad have placed
upon the American farmers the re
sponsibility for the continuing and i'm

hence it is especially important at this
time that horse breeders give partic-
ular consideration to the selection of a
proper sire. The influence of the sire
is pre-eminent, because he directly af-
fects greater number of offspring
than does the single female. There

THE EDUCATIONAL DAWN

Last week the State Commissioner
of Education delivered an address
before the Commercial Club of
Moscow that showed clearly that
the Commissioner is no neophyte in
matters of education. He pointed
out the things to be emphasized in
our state university and in doing so
called special attention to Mining
and Forestry things that have
been allowed to drift in times past
despite the fact that from the peer
less location of the university these
departments should have a national
reputation. The whole address was
devoid of petty technicalities to
which Idaho has been compelled to
listen for many years. We may
now confidently expect constructive
work along all educational lines un-
der leadership that we can all re-
spect and follow.
The president Of the university
has made a splendid impression.
He is man Of the people and has
broad conception of what the pco-
pie want and what they ought to
have. Heretofore we always point
ed with pride to our peculiar edu.
cational system but when asked for
results we were met with generali-
ties, and for the discordant notes
heard on every hand we were told
that it was either the fault of the
Governor or the Board IF Education
whose members the Governor ap-
points. Now we have men at the
helm who can point the way with
confidence and both the Governor
and Board of Education will quickly
fall into line and become regular
boosters with the rest of the people.
The teachers of the state have not
had that esprit de corps so necessary
to bring. the best results. Our
state superintendency has always
been weak and fiabby without abil-
ity or inclination to inspire conf
dences among the rank and file
where results, if any, are accom-
plished. From this time the state
superintendent will be sort of an
educational clerk with little or no
influence and harmless. Idaho is to
be congratulated both in its unique
educational system and in it's effic-
lent executive officers. Our educa-
tional jubilee has been long. long
on the way but it is here Special
Correspondent.
