peared for the defendants. both of

after the interests of Maine.
1t is understood that Messrs. Dig

were selling the stock of the COM

brought away belonged to them as
commissions on their sales.
Judge Maher at once contended
that the warrants were defective. in

Rural Schools, (el victx0las In KuraA
schools. IN this survey, small village
schools are considered % rural. even
though they be schools of one and
two grades only.
The number Of superlntendents re-
porting was I3s. and the number OF
rural schools from which. returns
were made was s47s. The survey
shows that in the year 1880 there
were $40 active School Improvement
Leagues in the rural schools of Maine.
and also AZ Parent-Teachers' Associa-
tons, not included in the School Inn
provement League organizations. In
the schools where children remain
during the noon hour, 1920 teachers
remain and supervise this period. In
31S schools, q hot noon lunch-at
least one hot dish-is served regular
ly. That appreciation of good music
is not being neglected in a consider
able number Of the States rural
schools is shown by the fact that 463
victroIas are reported as in use in
our rural schools at the present time.
II is gratifying because Of the
special effort of the school people
along the line OF Noon Eupervision,
these last few years to note that in
considerably over half Of the rural
schools Of the State. there is careful
supervision of the noon hour by the
regular teachers, and that in a con-
siderable number the health of the
| country school child is being safe
guarded by attention being given to a
proper diet for his lunch hour in the
shape of an appetizing hot dish each
noon.
1t is also gratifying to those who
| have been interested in the State
School Improvement League progress
| since its establishment in 1898 to
know that it is still an important fac.
tor in rural school progress, over SOC
active leagues having been reported
| to the State Office this year. It is
undoubtedly true that all the above
factors have done much to give our
rural schools the important place they
| occupy in our State school program
| and it is hoped that still more encour.
| aging figures may be shown at the
| close Of the next school year
In connection with this report ii Is
interesting to note that the worner

in all these progressive measures
One Of the first missionaries to BIZ
returned to the State department OF
education was that of Supt Naom
Gregoire of Unity, who reports q
school improvement league in every
rural school in her union.
That the Aroostook towns are in

deavor is shown by such figures as
