WATERVILLE INDUSTRJ-

Frank L. Dutton of Augusta,
chairman Of the Maine Industrial
Accident Commission. has rendered
a decision in the case of Minnie
Agnes Scott versus the Lockwood
Company. both of Waterville and the

tition.
Minnie Agnes Scott, otherwise
known as Minnie Scott. filed a petit
ton alleging that April IS. 1918.
while in the employ CT the Lockwood
Company at Waterville, she re-
ceived an injury to her right arm
above the elbow causing numbness.

disa abilities. from which she was rem
dered unable to continue her en-
ployment or to work for wages else
where. The respondents filed an
answer denying that the applicant re-
ceived an injury arising out Of and
in the course of her employment.
Chairman Dutton in his decision
says:
"After a full hearing and careful
study of Mrs. Scott and her witnesses
at the trial, and of all the testimony
after it was transcribed. the chair

provide for the building. In the
meantime we must put ZIP with the
convenience Of moving to the Blaine

ing in a wooden building, but the
change has become necessary and l
see no way of evading it. 1t is a
strong argument, however, in favor
of the proposed new building.

ant received injuries to her arm on
April Is. 1918, or at any other time,
at the Lockwood mill. but on the con-
trary he finds that the disability, if
any, from which she is suffering in
her right hand and arm are attri-
butable to some other cause.
1.-THE time-book of the overseer Of
the weaving room showed that she
worked a week longer than she testi-
fled to and a week after she had
consulted DR.. Cragin, to whom she
was sent by her attorney, and a
week after the time her husband and
a boarder testified that she could
not use her arm at all. 1t appeared
that this male boarder continued to
remain at the Scott home for a
month after the alleged accident, and
she had no assistance in the house
work except what her husband rem
dered, and he was an employee Of the
Lockwood mill. 1t might seem from
her testimony and the testimony of
her witnesses, her husband and her
boarder, that she was going to the
mill to work as a scrub woman with
her left hand when she could not use
her right hand about her ordinary
household duties. Acts like these on
the part of self-sacrificing wife
may be possible. but in view Of all
stances this version of the case
does not appear to the chairman as
probable. Moreover. it appeared

Nearly a Million Dollars for
Maine Educational Purposes

Maine already has special training
courses through the summer schools
and various forms OF extension work.
The now expenditure would be about
three times that for the present cost
of the Normal schools.
Another important provision would
be the appointment of a director. at
tached to the State school department
to supervise the expenditure of the
federal and State money and see that
the conditions and requirements are
fully met. Another and very impor-
tant stipulation is that the basis of
all courses of study shall be the Eng
lsh language. All the other require
ments are already included in our
school laws and practices.
The Hoke Smith bill was unani-
mously endorsed at the recent confer
ence of superintendent of schools
held in Boston and resolutions to that
effect. drawn by DR.. A. Q. Thomas,
Names State superintendent Of pub
lie schools, have been sent to Senator
