Change in Hearing

A change has been made in the date
Of hearing on the two bills for the abol-
ishment Of the office Of sea and shore
fisheries commissioner and the crea-
ton of a Sea and Shore Fisheries
Commission and it will take place on
Thursday next instead Of today, as
originally planned and advertised.
1t will be remembered that the bills
were at first assigned to the judiciary
committee and Tuesday, March IL, set,
but Representative Tate Of Topsham
succeeded in having the assignment
changed to the committee on sea and
shore fisheries, with the understanding
that whatever people came Tor the ad-
vertised Tuesday hearing would pc
taken care of by the latter committee.
1t is now stated that that plan will be
adhered to regarding whoever may
appear today and the hearing Will
then be continued to Thursday.
The two bills have many points in
common, although differing in some
particulars. One on which they agree
is giving the commissioners the pow
er to declare close time whenever
they decide the law is being violated
stood that this will receive some OPP
position from the fishermen, although
it is in line with the recommendations
of Governor Millken on the lobster
fisheries question.

ate the board and name the State
treasurer to hold the funds.
To accomplish that end and add the
Federal financial assistance toward
carrying on the great work already be-
gun in Maine, we find the Ames bill,
Senate Document No. 288, entitled an
act to accept the benefits of an act
passed by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled to pro-
vide for the promotion of vocational
education. 1t was introduced on
March by Senator Ames of Washing
ton and in brief, creates a State board
of three which is given all necessary
powers to cooperate with Federal
board of vocational education, said
board to consist of three members of
which the State superintendent of
schools shall be chairman and the 9TH
er two appointed by the Governor,
with the advice and consent OF the
Council, whose terms shall be three
years and who shall serve without pay.
The State treasurer is appointed GUS
todian of the Federal funds.
1t will thus be seen that Maine, with
her advanced system of education, has
but little to do to accept the terms of
the Federal act, which in Washington
is considered u great step along those
lines. AS a matter of fact the Federal
educational department appeared at
last to be catching up with the Maine
standard.

Maine in the Lead Regard
ing Vocational Education

| Vocational education is a subject
that has been arousing great interest
among educators throughout the
| length and breadth of the United
States, the national Educational Board
recently having taken up the matter
with a great deal of earnestness and
urging its importance upon all the
State school departments.
Governor Carl f. Milliken and State
Superintendent of Schools Glenn V.
Starkey of Maine have been watching
closely each step of the National
School Department their interest hav-
ing a double meaning. as will be seen
later on in this article.
Governor Milliken has received I'M
der date of March from Sec. of Agri.
ID. +. Houston a letter calling Names
attention to the act approved on Feb.
80 by President Wilson, entitled IAN
act to provide for the promotion of
education; to provide for cooperation
with the states in the promotion of
such education in agriculture and the
trades and industries; to provide for
cooperation with the states in the
preparation of teachers of vocational
subjects; and to appropriate money
and regulate it's expenditure.
The letter calls attention as to what
the State should do to secure the bene-
fit of the Federal act. which appro-
nriates a large sum of money for car
ryins on this work, stating that Maine
should accept the provisions of the
Federal act, should designate or Gre
ate a State board to cooperate with
the Federal board. and should
designate the State treasurer as Gus
todian of the Federal money allotted
the State for work under the Federal
act. 1t is understood that Maine would
secure about $4,000 for 1917 and about
sac. 600 for 1918. with an increase each
year up to about 1923.
The double interest of Gov. Milliken
and Supt. Starkey now appears. when
II stated that Maine was found to be

BREAKING THE ICE

Tn MASSACHUSETTS, they elect Gov
l. ernor once a year, a system which
keeps a man up to the mark from the
minute he is elected. Mr.. Mccall has
been nominated for a third term by an
enormous majority simply on the strength
of his record. He did not wait for war
to be declared; he. got busy in March,
appointing the first State public safety
committee i'm the country, urging special
measures for the equipment of soldiers,
for the moral and physical protection Of
army camps, for the care Of dependents
and settling railroad difficulties so that
supplies could be rushed forward for the
work Of war.
II is not so hard to get good Governors
Cnce a State has broken the ice. Hughes
set so high a standard in New York that
the people demanded more of that kind,
and the result is Whitman. Wilson set
the pace for New Jersey. and Edge fol-
lows in his tradition Of executive aggres-
siveness, though of a different party.

Pennsylvania we shall demand others
