STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting Of Governor and NJ, Thursday March

to be reminded that the most sacred re-
sponsibility Of government is the duty of
safeguarding in every possible way the
mental. moral and physical welfare Of
the children who are to make the citi-
zens of tomorrow.
Mindful of this duty, Maine has gone
further than most states in contributing
towards the expense Of the public
schools in the cities and towns The
purpose Of course is to eQualize the bur-
den and to insure equal opportunity so
far as possible for all school children.
The control and management of the
schools has been almost wholly left
with the local authorities but the State
has assumed the responsibility for
training teachers free of expense to
them and for general oversight of the
educational program.
I'VE have seen with growing concer.
in the last few months an increasing
disparity between the wages paid teach
ers and the scale of prices prevailing
in mills and business Offices.
1.-THE result has been not only to at
tract many teachers into more lucra.
tive lines Of work, but the inducement
to train for teachers has become SO
slight that the attendance at our normal
schools is dangerously low.
Fortunately on account Of the budget
system and careful management Of the
State departments the State itself is in
excellent financial condition and the
council has unanimously voted an addi-
ton Of 100000 to the equalization fund
to be distributed by the State superin-
tendent OF schools to help towns raise
the salaries Of trained teachers"
To School Committees
In his letters to experimenting school
committees, Gov. Milliken says in part:
"Out of an experience Of many years
as member Of the school committee
in small town 1 can assure you of
sympathy in the problems you have to
meet and at the same time congratulate
you sincerely on the opportunity that is
yours for useful public service.
THE school system in Maine Is facing
a serious crisis and not only to check
the immediate shortage Of trained
teachers but to provide inducement for
high school graduates to fit themselves
for that profession we must have at
once a very great Statewide advance
in the average salary paid to trained
teachers.
II hope hat in making UP your bud
get for town meeting you will provide
for a very large increase in the salaries
OF your trained teachers. by all means
ask your town for all that you think the
schools really need in this years bud
get. Certainly when the matter Is pre-
scented to them they will realize that
they cannot afford to economize in the
quality Of their teaching force what
ever else may be Topped Off or reduced.
we realize that the appropriation
made is only small part Of the addi.
tonal amount required in the State, but
we hope 1T will be an encouragement to
towns and an indication of our desire
to help them a little in this serious
emergency"

A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage

it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can ten it has been APP
plied-its so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw 1t through your hair, taking
one strand at time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two. it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and beautiful.-Adv.

REVIVING FAILING
MAINE SEED PO-
TATO BUSINESS

In pre-war days Maine sent To
Southern states about 5000 car loads
of seed potatoes each year, but dur
ing the past few years this business
has dropped off SO that the past
year only 1900 car loads were shin
ped.
Now the State Chamber Of Com.
merce and Agricultural League ia
determined to have this business re-
turn to Maine. Already one full car
load of certified seed potatoes bear
ing the label and guarantee of the
state Chamber of Commerce and
Agricultural League has been Shin
ded to the Cape Cod Farm Bureau.
as 1t has been found that Maine
seed potatoes produce IS bushels
more to the acre than seed pototoes
grown in Eastern Massachusetts and
lOS bushels more to the acre than
seed potatoes grown in Western
Massachusetts. Through the State
chamber of Commerce and Agricul-
tural League another car load NJ
Maine grown certified seed potatoe.
Will be shipped to New Jersey. The
certified seed potatoes being shipped
with the guarantee of the Sta+n
Chamber Of Commerce were grown
by the Young Farmers Club NJ
