,complished even if no such courses are
at present being given in the school.
Briefly the work called for is as fol-
lows:
Il. Accurate locating of all rock
bed outcrops in Your town.
'2. Description of such out-crops.
giving extent, accessibility. kinds Of
rocks, minerals and ownership of land
upon which located.
'3. Collecting and labelling of rock
and mineral specimens.
~. Locating of mines and quarries,
with description of products.
IS. Recording of any other matters
OF interest. such as nature of field
rock. deposits of sand and gravel ETC.
1T would be well TO give students
undertaking this work some prelim-
mary instruction in making accurate
maps that will show roads. railroads.
settlements. streams and other water
bodies, principal elevations and prom
inent landmarks. in the use of the
compass and clinometer: in judg
ing heights and distances; in the
recognition of the principal types of
rocks and minerals: in keeping field
notes; and in collecting and labelling
specimens. If the school possesses lab
oratory equipment. simple qualitative
tests would add greatly to the value
Of the records. If YOU have no teacher
who is able to give instruction in these
matters. our geologist will be glad to
furnish such directions as may be de-
sired.
1T is not expected to obtain by this
method results that may be considered
final; it is. however, hoped that in this
way very large amount of territory
may be placed under definite and sys-
/ tematic observation. If it works out in
! g satisfactory way. as there is every
reason to think it will. it should form
the basis for an organized system
which will permit Of future expansion
and elaboration"
About 240 letters containing the
above information and statements
were sent throughout the State and it
is expected that a. small army will soon
be in rea illness to begin the work.

proving the Importance of the idea of
our Maine Public Utilities and show
ing that others were also thinking of
the same matter, was the receipt of a
letter on the very day the commits
sions were mailed from here. coming
from George Otis Smith. director of
the United States Geological Survey.
urging that Maine take the very steps
she has already taken. Had the two
letters been exchanged when written.
they would have passed each other on
their Journeys. Director Smith. who is
9 Maine man. was doubtless much
pleased that his own State had thought
of the very idea that he favored be-
, fore his suggestion arrived.
The development of the scheme will
be awaited with interest and the Pub
J lie Utilities officials and their geologist
arc firmly convinced that it will be in
the nature of valuable information
both for the State and the Union.

with the modern achievements OF

The need of the Child Welfare work
is shown by the estimate of autnorl-
ties that 100000 American children un-
der eight years old die every year, ana
by the general agreement that more
than half the deaths of young children
are easily preventable. During the
year 1916 about II per cent OF all
deaths were of infants under one year
of age. 1t is held by authorities that II
children We're well born and well cared
for there would be practically no
deaths of babies. 1t is also believed
that most of the $4,000 mothers who
died last year died needlessly.
The possibilities of effective child
welfare work can he illustrated by the
successful activities of the milk sta
tions in the larger cities of the country.
including the one at Portland. These
possibilities are also shown in the work
England has done in saving child life.
During the first year of the war, large
increase in the number of babies who
died is recorded. During the second
year an organized effort to reduce the
death rate was made with the result
that the rate dropped not only below
the rate of the previous year but far
below the usual rate before the war.

GEOLOGICAL SUR
VEY OF THE STATE

The Public Utilities Commission re-
Gently decided on an immediate survey
of the State of Maine to determine its
resources in lines that might be avail
able for war purposes. 1t was not IN
tended that the survey would be so eX-
haustive as to tell in detail what the
State had in mineral or other natural
wealth. but to do preliminary work
which would disclose such things as
would appear profitable for the gov
ernment to follow up and develop.
The fact was first met that it would
take a large force of men and the men
skilled in that work are practically all
engaged in government duties. SO tiat
to supply that deficiency was the hrst
step in the program. High school ana
academy principals were commune
Gated with and the students asked 70
devote at least part Of their time IN
the work and while time has not Deen
sufficient for many answers II Is eA-
pected that a large force will be IN the
field. all over the State as soon as WORK
can be started.
The State is fortunate in having one

it's command, in the person or freeman

at present principal Of the High schooi
In Livermore Falls. He Will be IN
charge Of the work and all the investi-
cations made by the large corps OF stu
dents will be reported to and put into
available form by him.
The letters sent out by the Public
Utilities Commission to the High
schools and academies, asked II the
school had lone or more teachers or
students who are sufficiently interested
in geology, mineralogy or outdoor nat
ural history in general to cooperate
without compensation, with the geolo-
gist of the commission in making
rapid preliminary survey of the entire
State? IF so, it is urged that they be
allowed and encouraged to devote part
of their time for the remainder OF the
school year at least, to work that VIII
be of great assistance in making such
