Special Course at Castine Nor.
NAL School.

DR.. Augustus o. Thomas, State Super-
intendent of Public Schools, backed up
by the Governor of our State, has been
carrying on an extensive campaign to IN
crease the number of professionally
trained teachers in our State. This cam
paign has been under the direction of Mr.,
Glenn w. Starkey of the State Depart
ment OF Education, who is thoroughly ia
mlllar with the educational situation in
Name and In our entire country.
Although the five normal school prin
clpals have all been taking an active part
IN this campaign and have called the at
tentlon OF prospective students in various
ways to the advantages of a normal
school education and to the need of the
Estate for more trained teachers, none of
the Maine normal schools are filled to ca
pacity.
The Eastern State Normal School,
which is nearer to Belfast than any other
Maine normal school, located as it is at
historic Castine, one of the most beautiful
spots on the Atlantic coast, or, perhaps,
in the whole world, is offering in addition
to the regular two year course to which
graduates of class A High schools are ad.
mltted without examination, special
one year course, which is open to teach
erS OF live or more years of successful
teaching experience. The diploma, which
is granted at the completion of this
course, is exactly the same as that
awarded to the graduates of the regular
two year course.
The principal and faculty members of
the Eastern State Normal School realize
full well that there must be an upward
and onward movement in education in
Maine, and are well aware that the Nor
NAL schools all over the country must
send out, not only a large number of
trained teachers to the Cities but also
still greater proportion of trained teach
ers to the rural communities of Maine.
The new PRINCIPAL, Mr.. William D. Hall,
who is an associate director of the School
of Rural Leaders, which in now in full
operation at Castine, will take with him
to the regular normal school this fall,
much of the spirit of rural m ndedness
that is so strong and SO fine in the
School for Rural Leaders
Correspondence with prospective stu
dents and with friends of the school, who
can suggest the names of desirable cam
dldates, or who have constructive criti-
cisms to offer, is hereby solicited. The
I school catalogue may be obtained of Prin-
cipal William ID, Hall CaStine Maine

Miss Melvina A. Patterson, who is

has presented them with pair of CANDLE

it BETTING their Origin to bestow them
upon MIR. and Mrs. Hopkins, who can
both trace their lineage to the common
ancestor who brought them from Boston
in 1891. The candlesticks which stand
about six inches high are of graceful de-
sign and in perfect condition. They bear
on their bottoms an "R," the stamp of
authenticity as the handiwork of Paul
Revere, whose mother was Deborah
Hichborn, brother of Robert Hichborn,
the progenitor of the local family whose
name or blood inc ude great number of
persons. Robert Hichborn died in 1900
and his grave is still to be found in Mount
Recluse cemetery on Cape Jellison. The
candlesticks were given to Miss Patter-
son by her aunt, Miss Susan Hichborn,
granddaughter of the original owner.
While these candlesticks command spec
ia interest because of their famous maxi
er, many notable heirlooms of the HIGH
born family are still in existence. The
clock which stands in the home of Harry
r. Hichborn, made by Edward Faulkner,
London, prior to 1875, is one OF the finest
examples of the early clockmakers' art
and is viewed with enthusiasm by such
antiquarians as are fortunate enough to

RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits a community
fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado-the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at Its heels with help for the
stricken people. Red Cross relief Is
almost Immediately forthcoming-food,
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience in handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, ending June 30,
there was an average Of four disasters
month in the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities In
twenty-seven states suffered. The
largest and most destructive of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and Tomatoes in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama. Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events of horror $50 per-
sons were killed, 1900 were injured,
$4,000 were made homeless about 30
600 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $1OOOoO,OO0 and al.
most 100000 in relief funds. not in.
Guiding emergency supplies was ex-
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth of sup.
plies, 10 Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
If disaster ever strikes this town or
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be right on
hand to help them In every way.

SAYS ALL FILIPINOS
WANT INDEPENDENCE.

at is frequently said that only the
politicians in the Philippines want in
dependence, but I do not think such is
the CASE said DR.. D. NJ Gambler,
superintendent of the California Anti
Saloon League, who has just returned
from the Philippines. 81 have met
all classes of people from various
parts Of the islands and all alike seem
to me to desire independence. I am
inclined to think that they have the
ability to govern themselves. We are
developing a social and political con-
science in America and they will de-
velop one there; and I very much
doubt that they will learn as fast
under present conditions as they
would under complete independence.
Independence in some form is bound
to come and am inclined to think
that it had better come soon"

URGE EXAMPLE OF
SELF-DETERMINATION

That friends Of Irish independence
In the American Congress could make
q more effective impression on Great
Britain by granting Philippine indie
pendence than by merely expressing
sympathy with Irish aspirations is the
suggestion contained in statement is
sued by the Philippine Press Bureau
of Washington, d. G..
"Twice in period of nine months"
reads the statement, "the United States
Senate went on record as being in sym
pathy with the aspirations Of the Irish
people for a government of their own
choice
"Still another way for the friends Of
Irish independence in the American
Congress to make an impressive argu-
ment would be to grant the independ-
ence that the 1O,5OO,0OO inhabitants of
the Philippines have repeatedly de-
handed Americas own representa-
tives in the islands have officially re-
ported they are ready for Independence
and have recommended that such indie
pendence be granted.
eve submit that the granting Of
Philippine independence would be like
ly to be accepted by Great Britain as
even stronger proof Of Americas be-
lief in self-determination than the pas
sage of the Irish resolutions, because
Great Britain's councillors Of state
could not then successfully make the
point that the American Congress IS
asking Great Britain to do something
the United States itself has been asked
to do and has not done
"The Filipino people have confidence
in the word of America and hope that
now that the Senate has reiterated it's
sympathy with the principle of self
determination it will give Great Brit
ain and the other powers of the world
a concrete example Of consistency and
good faith by granting Philippine in

MY LAST FAREWELL.

Z HIZALs
Let the sun draw it's vapors up to the sky.
And heaVenward in purity hear my tardy
protest;
Let some kind soul Ger my unttmely fate
cry,
And in the still evening prayer be lifted
From thee, 8 my country. that in God I
may rest
Pray for all those that hapless have died,
For our mothers that bitterly their woes
have cried,
For widows and orphans, for captives by
torture tried;
And then for thysef that redemption thou
mayst gain.
And when the dark night wraps the
graveyard around,
With only the dead in their vigil to see;
Break not my repose or the mystery
profound,
And perchance thou mayst hear sad
hymn reSOund;
IT'S I, o my country, raising song unto
thee.
When even my grave is remembered no
Unmark'd by never a cross or a stone;
Let the plow sweep through it, the spade
That my ashes may carpet thy earthly
Before into nothingness at last they are
flown.
Then will oblivion bring me no care,
AS over thy wales and plains I sweep,
Throbbing and cleansed in thy space and
air.
With color and light, with song and
lament I fare
Ever repeating the faith that keep.
My fatherland adored, that sadness to my
sorrow lends,
Beloved Filipinas, hear now my last
goodbye.
give thee all: parents and kindred and
friends;
For I go where no slave before the
oppressor bends,
Where faith can never kill, and God
reigns e'er on high.
Farewell, father and mother and brothers,
dear friends of the firesidei
Thankful We should be for me that rest
at the end of the long day.
Farewell, sweet, from the strangers land,
my joy and my comrade!
Farewell dear ones. FAREWELL To die L.
to rest from our labors!

know how good such a program was"
From these experiences Mr.. Parrish
developed into a level-headed farm
leader, combining the qualities of a
business man, an executive, a farmer
and a breeder. Farmers throughout
the state have heard him on the farm
ers' institute platform. He has been
known particularly as a booster for
cooperation among farmers. He was
active in the organization and in the
direction of the later efforts of the
Sheboygan Cheese Producers fedora
ton. AS director of the Wisconsin
branch of the American Society of
Equity he has given his best efforts
in an attempt to work out his ideals
of the best in farm methods and in
farm living. In 1919 the University
of Wisconsin presented him with tes-
timonial of appreciation at its annual
recognition exercises for his influence
on agriculture is the state.
The farm of Mr. Parrish has not
been neglected during all this time. He
still lives upon the farm on which he
was born in 1860, and from which he
trudged to the district school. His
schooling was obtained in his home
district, supplemented with the train

has built up a good farm home, and
is widely known as breeder of good

a boy he had witnessed scenes that

to the liberation Of his ''land adored."

death, in which he wrote: "Gladly do
