TEACHERS CONVENTION
NOV. rs AT PORTLAND

The annual convention of the Maine
Teachers Association, which will be
held at Portland Thursday and Friday,
Nov. and s, will be held under condi-
tons such as never before surrounded
the educational activities of the nation.
Everywhere within the past u months
there has been readjustment after re-
adjustment made necessary by the un-
precedented times. To formulate a pro-
gram for a State convention Of teachers
under such circumstances and to make
the preliminary arrangements neces-
sary for the carrying out Of this pro-
gram has been by no means an easy
task. Even at thc last moment the
committee may be faced with situations
which will make impossible a full reali-
cation of its plans, but the program is
the result of the combined work Of the
officers of the association and the chair
men of the several departments along
lines which seem to be for the best in.
terests OF the association.
The School Music Festival has been
arranged along lines similar to those
adopted in previous years and a large
amount Of work has already been ex-
pended in preparation for it. The clos
ing of many schools just as the prelim-
mary program goes to the printer means
that still more intensive work must be
done when they reopen, but il is ex-
pected that everyone will be ready to do
his part in making the festival as great
a success as ever
Teachers who live within anv reason
able distance of Portland are especially
urged to attend this great meeting since
l0o-per cent registration from such
towns and cities will assist greatly in
keeping the enrolment up to former
years and make up for any deficiency
which may result from the inability Of
those at greater distance to be pres
ent- Every teacher and every friend Of
education in the State is given a most
cordial invitation to attend the conven-
ton.
Among the speakers who will address
the convention will be Hon. Martin G.
Brumbaugh, governor of Pennsylvania;
Prof. Donald 3. Mcmillan. the Arctic
explorer: Dr. Robert J. Alley. president
Of the University of Maine: Prof. John

STRENGTH FOR
PEOPLE WITH
thin BLOOD
A Portland Woman Tell How She
Overcame Anemia by the Tonic
Treatment

Anemia, or thin blood. is one of the
most insidious Of diseases. It weak
ems the patient so gradually that its
progress is not noticed until it has
developed into dangerous stage.
Your mirror does not lie. If you are
unnaturalIy pale your blood is be-
coming thin and leeds building up.
If you are less vigorous than you
were at this time last year admit it
to yourself and take the right remedy
now.
Il had general breaking down Of
my health" says Mrs. Ella Read, Of
No. IS Smith street, Portland, Me-,
land the doctor said my trouble was
too little blood. l had no color, was
reduced in weight and had but little
strength. l was completely tired out
and was extremely nervous. At
times suffered severe nervous spells
which would leave me with a head
ache. My appetite was poor and
seemed to grow worse all the time.
81 read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills in the paper and as nothing else
seemed to restore my strength I de-
cided to try them. 1 could see they
were benefiting me before had used
them a month and 1 kept on until I
felt so much better that did not need
them. ! have used them since as a
tonic and they have always helped
me. l gladly recommend them to
others"
To build up the blood there is one
remedy that has been household
word for a generation. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. They
tone up the entire system. make the
blood rich and red. strengthen the
nerves. increase the appetite, put
color in the cheeks and lips and drive
away that unnatural tired feeling
Plenty OF sunlight. good wholesome
food and fresh air will do the rest.
Two books, Building Up the Blood"
and What to Eat and How to Eat"
give just the information that every
mother Of growing girl needs. They
are free.

was made to get every child possible in
school
And the supply Of teachers in Maine
is as good IS any State in the Union"
said DR.. Thomas, and if we had about
dozen High school teachers and
couple of superintendent, we would be
in the best possible condition as regards
teaching force. A number of persons
who formerly taught school have volun-
teered and several ministers have
come forward in the emergency with
desire to teach.
DR.. Thomas sen. out recently a COM
munication to inquire as to the number
of men teachers who would likely be
called into the service and received re-
plies from % who are instructors along
agricultural or vocational lines and
holding positions which cannot be filled

meets with approval, merely wade into
the stream and drift across, meantime

The new invention is a sort Of glori-

is adapted to the fording of deep
streams without the necessity Of
bridge building. The encircling buoy
is blown up by the soldier. 1t holds
