AGAINST POST
OFFICE CHARGES

Brewer. Me-. Feb. 13.--Civic pride as
serted itself in Brewer Monday even
ing when about one hundred citizens
assembled in City Hall to discuss the
contemplated changes in Brewers post
Office service. The meeting was called
by the mayor and freely discussed all
phases Of the matter relative to losing
the present post Office, sub-station of
Bangor, and the substitution of sub
stations in the Merrill and Boynton
drug stores.
The sentiment Of the meeting was a
general remonstrance against making
such changes. principally for the rea-
son that Brewer will eventually lose
her identity as a city.

towns and plantations that voted in
1916 to enter such unions but which
We're not able to do so.
The principal features Of Mr.. Walk
ers bill are as follows: The combina-
ton of all cities, towns and planta-
lions in the State into supervisory
unions, this being undertaken by the
State Superintendent of Public
Schools. The new combinations would
be made before January /, 1918, and
the final provisions of the law would
be effective July 1, 1918. Power of
appeal to the Governor and Council is
given to committees dissatisfied with
the combinations proposed.
A minimum number of thirty schools
for a single union is adopted except
where geographical or other conditions
make it more advantageous that a few
er number be included.
AS under the provision of the present
law a joint committee, made up of
committee members OF the several
towns, choose the superintendent OF
schools, fix his salary, apportion the
amounts to be paid by each town and
determine the amount of service to be
given in each town. A minimum term
q three wears is fixed for which a
is elected with provi-
s;oa for his removal for cause before
the completion of his term. The re-
ouirements in regard to his qualifica-
lions remain as in the present law.
The amount of State aid remains
unchanged, eight hundred dollars an
nually for the benefit of a single union.
The plan for the payment of State
aid to a city or town having large
number of schools is continued. The
minimum number of schools is in
creased from so to 60. Superinten-
dents serving in such places are sub
iect to the same conditions as superin-
tendents of unions of towns.
An attempt is made to clearly define
the duties of the superintendent of
schools. While no radical changes
have been made list of his principal
duties has been prepared to meet the
requirements OF generally accepted
practice.
AS in the case of the supervision law
now in force provision has been made
for supervision in any towns or plan
tationS so remotely located as to pre-
clude their union with other places.
The State Superintendent of Schools is
authorized to place at the disposal of
the committees of such places the SER
vices of any of his agents.

Of the celebrated Cossack chief, Ma
zeppa, whose intrigue with the wife
of a noble at the Polish court and his
dire punishment (being bound naked
to the back of a wild horse and sci
adrift on the desert) have been i'm
mortalized in Byron's poem. The
tomb is supposed to have been rifed
of it's remains by the Russians dur
ing one of their several descents upon
the city, for the memory of Mazeppa
is execrated by the soldiers of the

WITH THE LOVED "AUToCRAT"
Life of oliver Wendell Holmes an In
%spiration to All Who Have Read
His Writings.

His readers always talk Of their Gin
timacy' with DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes; they know what kind of per-
son he was as well as what he taught.
They know that he loved rowing
and horses and great trees; that he
was full of sentiment for his child
hood; that he liked men to be strong
and %sanguine, and honOred the weak
ness of women; that he loathed all
gloom and unhealthiness; that charity
and tolerance were the virtues he
loved, and If one could combine. them
with wit it was so much to the good.
Above all, one must enjoy life and
live to the utmost of ones powers.
1t reads something like a medical
prescription, and one does not want
health alone. Nevertheless, when the
obvious objections are made, we need
not doubt that it will benefit thousands
in the future. and they will love the
nan who lived as he wrote.

Persons whose incomes are. limited
know, or should know, that they can
not initiate those to whom money is a
secondary consideration, yet many mis-

Stimulus of Flowers.

If you have not some growing plants
in your living rooms put them in. They
toni up a home, give it a kindly temp
er, inspire a love of nature and Gull
tivate a taste for the beautiful. But
more than this-they have a practical
value. They create conditions of
health. If they flourish, then you have
sYeeter and purer air to breathe. They
take in bad air and give out good. So
the family tlourishes if the plants flour
ish. Each plays into the others hands.
But the great thing is in keeping COM
pany with nature, which is the finest
association that ONE into ones self.
1t is the stimulus of peace, joy, kind
ness and justice, The angels love a
