Great Gathering of the Schools.
FLAG RAISING AND ADDRESSES AT THE
PATRIOTIC FIELD DAY.

Very successful was the patriotic field
day of the schools of Paris, which has
been arranged through the work of
Superintendent NJ. G. Joy, and which
was held at the high school grounds In
South Paris Friday afternoon. It
brought together the scholars from all
sections of the town, In numbers. While
doubtless not all the scholars in town
we're In attendance, every school must
have been represented, and there GER
tainly were five or six hundred scholars
here. There were also large number
of the older people, from all parts OF the
town, West Paris having specially
large delegation.
The exercises began at O'Clock in the
afternoon, with the raising of new flag.
After the flag was In place, 1t was saluted
by the children with the pledge Of allie
glance, and they then sang the Star
Spangled Banner, accompanied by the
orchestra, under the lead OF Mrs. Grace
Barnes, the supervisor Of music.
A temporary platform had been erect
ed, on which were seated the speakers
of the day, and civil war veterans.
PRAYER was offered by Rev. A. T. Nc
Whorter. By request of Mr.. Joy, Alton
C, Wheeler introduced hon. Harold N.
Sewall of Bath, with felicitous references
to the distinguished speaker as the head
of the public safety committee OF Maine,
and one whose two boys were already In
the military service of the country.
Mr.. Sewall spoke for about half an
hour, in q vein not pessimistic, but
serious as In keeping with the serious
ness of the hour. he has recently been
In Washington comforting with members
of the administration, and he brought
to this gathering the message that this
greatest of all wars Is to require OF US
more effort and more sacrifice than we
have ever realized. The duration OF the
struggle is to Be measured not by months
but by years; the number Of men we
shall have to furnish for the battlef1elds
of Europe not by hundreds of thousands
Int by millions; the cost OF 1t will be
beyond comprehension. But 1t 10 our
war. IL was our war long before We were
formally in 1t, In fact, 1t should have
been our war years ago. And the coun'
try calls upon all, even the children, to
do their part.
"Many Flags Of Many Lands" was
supg under the lead Of Mrs. Barnes by
the pupils of the first, second and third
grades, accompanied by the waving Of
the stars and stripes In each hand. This
was followed by the singing Of Dixie by
the pupils Of the seventh, eighth and
Rev. c. G. Miller was then introduced
by Mr.. Joy, and spoke but few min.
utes, emphasizing the part which the
hoe is to play In the war. and pointing
ont that each scholar can help little In
the important work Of raising food.
The singing of America In the new
wsy closed the program.
A ball game between the high school
teams of South Paris and West Paris
followed. IN :.
A somewhat similar field day will be
held at West Paris on Wednesday, june

No Additional Ten thousand.
TOWN MEETING EMPHATIcALLY REFUSES
TO INCREASE AMOUNT.

D
The proposition to,raiseIten thousand
collars more for the grammar school
building at South Paris was quickly dis.
posed Of whom the time came for the
vote at the special town meeting of Sat.
urday afternoon. Such Q chorus Of AYES
arose when motion to pass over the
articls was put to vote, that not more
than half dozen ventured to raise their
voices on the other side.
Interest In the subject matter of the
meeting was demonstrated BY the crowd
which came In from all parts of the
town. There must have been not less
than two hundred and fifty men In the
nall, which is very large number for Q
special meeting.
Town Clerk William j. Wheeler called
the meeting to order, and Walter L. GRAY
was elected moderator.
Under the second article In the war.
rant, which was to see II the town would
raise ten thousand dollars additional,
and In what manner, DR.. D. NJ. Stewart,
the chairman Of the building committee,
was called upon to state what the com.
mittee had done. DR.. Stewart reviewed
the history of the brick school house
matter, and stated that the building com.
mittee employed as architect for the
building Harry s. Coombs of Lewiston,
who was then present In the hall. The
committee had been told when the
sketches for the building were made that
1t could probably be built for $50, 900,
leaving 5000 for the necessary equip
ment, which was about what would be
needed. When the bids were opened, It
was found that the lowest on the several
parts Of the work made total of about
$40, 600. 1t was evident that the build
ing voted by the town could not be built
for the appropriation. he also discuss
ed the condition of the present building
and Its insufacienoy and unsuitableness.
s. P. Maxim, who built the present
house thirty. four years ago, wished to
reply to certain things that had been
said here and elsewhere regarding the
brick building, and discussed It's con-
and present condition at some
length. After he had finished, vote
was passed that further speeches be linn
tied to three minutes each.
a motion was made to pass over the
oitiOic, ouu luoIo W6o ut6CuSoiUu VI tuo
main question or some other by several
voters. Reference had been made by DR..
Stewart to the leaky roof and possible
condition Of the old school
house, and Mr.. Coombs was asked II he
the building In dangerous
condition. He replied that 1t was I'M
possible to tell without taking out con-
siderable amounts uf the brick veneer
from the outside or of the plaster and
finish from the inside walls. There was
the possibility Of dangerous amount Of
rot from the leaking.
Finally, after about an hours session,
the voters got anxious for the question,
and when the ayes were called for on
the motion to pass over, there was re-
chorus, which, judging by the
volume of the sound, must have includ-
ed not less than three-fourths of those
present.
This leaves the question Of q school
house In the air. The town voted to
build an eight-room brick house, and
the committee can not build 1t for that
