Somerset Leading
in Boys and Girls
Agri'l. Club Work

Orono. June 26-Somerset has tax.
en- the lead of the 16 counties in
Maine in the number of boys and
girls enrolled in agricultural club
work. 1t has in the last few weeks
been a close race between Somerset
and Aroostook. The figures complied
at the College Of Agriculture extern
sion office today show a total of 3445
boys and girls in the various clubs
in the State. Of this number 2241 are
girls.
These figures do not show the COM
plete returns for the year, because
the canning clubs are allowed until
July 1 to finish their enrolment.
There have also been delays in some
of the counties in other project en-
rollment. 1t is expected that when
the returns are all in the figures for
the year will exceed 5000, which is
very satisfactory considering that
there have been no special emer-
gency workers engaged in club or
ganization this year. as there were
the two previous years.
The present relative standing of
the counties. which may be changed
somewhat by the receipt of cards
from delinquents, and from the can
ming clubs. is as follows:
Somerset, AL; Aroostook, 401;
Hancock. 1862: Androscoggin and

A Drive on Parlor eoisheviks

The department Of justice an
nounces that it is about to wage
new campaign against radicals, hav-
ing been given greatly increased
powers by the recently enacted alien
exclusion act. The insidious propa-
gandist and international pest
known as the "parlor bolshevik" is
the immediate and special object Of
the drive. it is declared. 1t is pos
sible under the new law to get at
the large and rapidly growing class
Of malcontents who distribute revo-
lutionary doctrines under the guise
of responsibility rather than at
tached to the end Of fuse.
Aliens who advocate either sabot-
age or. opposition to organized gov
eminent render themselves liable to
arrest and prosecution. if not de-
portation, under this law. Sabotage
Is construed to mean opposition to
the administration Of the government
and aliens who write and publish
articles advising against government
in general or in particular are thus
brought within the scope and mean
ing Of the law. according to the de-
partment Of justice authorities
There is. apparently, law enough to
cover most cases.
1t now remains to be seen whether
the department, having got it's cam
paign labors pretty definitely out OF
the way, can enforce the law and
gather up the short haired women
and lonC-haired men and others OF
the plain, or garden, whiskered va
riety who preach isms and practice
schisms in the midst of our other
wise native land.

Preparation Of Teachers

The Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching has facil-
tiles for Information and is popularity
supposed to have the wisdom to as
simulate and apply it. THE Profess
sional Preparation of Teachers for
American Public Schools" a report
originating in an investigation Of
teacher training facilities in Missouri,
has been made and is worthy of care
full consideration.
"Wha. is really needed is not abb
bitrary distinctions between normal
schools and colleges" says the report,
but an enlightened administration. of
the states entire teacher training
function exercised from single di-
recting body equipped to prepare
teachers for all schools as thorough
ly as possible.
Normal schools should drop that
name, and as professional colleges
of education should become an &C
knowledged part of the greater uni
versity whole, simply because they
are part of the states system of
higher education, which is all the
term university now implies. We
would thus secure unified and CEN
tralized authority prepared to deal
in consistent and efficient manner
with the states largest problem IN
higher and professional education.
The aim of each state should be to
work toward situation where the
teacher in the elementary and secon-
dairy schools shall possess a training
chat is adequate and a professional
recognition that will attract and sat
isfy the aspirations and the economic
needs of able men and women. To
open the door to a finer preparation
for the life of teacher, and to put
this profession on plane of the
highest honor and dignity, is funda-
mental to any true progress in edu-
cation for our country"
To attain this end the board re-
CARDS only matter of cost, although
one cannot go out and buy teaching,
whatever they may be willing to pay
for it. Sincere and competent teach
ers may be recruited only from a
people who discriminate between
that which is sincere and that which
is superficial and insincere."
The employment Of married teach
ers is recommended, on the ground
that disadvantages are more than
Offset by having the leading women
Of the community in educational
work. In regard to high school and
elementary teachers it is thought
training and compensation should De
equalized and the two schools merged
into single institution.
The report recognizes the need OF
taking the parent into confidence and
arousing the public's enthusiasm.
The desire to have ones children ed
ucated is latent in well nigh every
parent and the board believes the
public can be convinced.
