Dear Mrs. Thompson: Ny hus-
band was killed in France. When
l learned of his death I gave up
housekeeping and went to live with
nv parents. I have a 19-year-old
sister who lives at home who is
the most selfish girl I have ever
seen. She doesn't do one thing to
help around the house. ! have my
baby to care for, the Homework to
do, since mother is almost an in
valid, and the family sewing.
Don't think I am complaining
about my own lot. I feel FORUM
ate to repay father in some little
way for all he is doing for me and
will do for my child. Sister is a
constant worry to both father and
mother. They reason with her, but
it does no good. She brings guests
home to dinner without saying any
thing beforehand and does not even
do the dishes to help.
Father thinks that the way my
sister acts helps to keep mother
poor in health, but he doesn't know
what to do. Sister also spends
, more money than any of the rest
| of us. l think she ought to go to
work, but mother won't listen to it
Don't you think sister ought to

some of the newer educational de-
velopments, such as physical train
ing, or who seek the opportunity for
| a rapid review of normal methods
THE schools are maintained
primarily for the benefit of teachers
who are already in service, but
there is also ample opportunity for
those without experience, who are to
go into the work directly from high
school or academy. These will be
able to get from the summer schools
much valuable information and
fundamental training of a very ele-
mentary nature which will enable
them to begin their schools with
much greater confidence and at
essentials Of school management.
Teachers Responsibility.
1.-THE people of Maine have made a
heroic effort to meet the existing
emergency in education by making
available this year very greatly in
creased funds for salaries of teach
ers. 1t must not be considered by
any means that the limit mas yet
been reached or that it will be
| a basis comparable with those in
other occupations and commensurate
with the service rendered.
"One thing must be borne in
mind, however, and that is that
teachers themselves must justify
the faith of the people. Otherwise,
they cannot expect the salary SEIZED
ule to be raised in the future or even
| maintained at the level now pro-
vided for. Better salaries demand
better schools and better schools
mean better trained teachers.
In order to guarantee to the pro-
fession as a whole the recognition
which it seeks and to which it is en-
| titled. every teacher should make an
| honest effort to prepare herself in
every possible way, to give a quality
of service which will reflect credit
not only upon her. as an individual
but upon those associated with her
in the business of teaching. The
State summer schools are one of the
avenues open to teachers by which
| they may approach the goal. In
these schools will be found a prac-
teal course both for experienced
| teachers and for those who have yet
to demonstrate their ability.
Social Advantages
at would be difficult to choose To-
cations for summer schools more
attractive or better suited to the
purpose than at the State normal
training institutions. Each is
charmingly situated in the midst OF
inspiring surroundings which offer
much in the way of recreational OPP
portunity during the hours when
classes are not in session. Trips to
points Of interest in the locality are
a regular part of the program. The

REELS OF FUN

The longest and most enjoyable
play given at the Colonial theatre in
weeks will be presented today
when Earle Williams appears in the
Vitagraph superfeature, THE For
tune Hunter"
In this production, the screen has
scored another triumph. A few years
ago. THE Fortune Hunter" was the
sensation of the country on the
spoken stage. On the screen it is a
classic. if ever there was one. Just
as he does everything, Williams
goes at his work with the firm idea
to make it perfection itself. He is
the center of attention during prac-
tically all of the. seven reels The
Fortune Hunter" runs. and he holds
the center. not by favoritism, but
because he is capable Of doing it.

markable formula whereby a hand
some young fellow, possessing no
faults. and no funds. but having
cultured ways can go out and'w
a fortune. Williams has the role of
Nathaniel Durham, the pampered
son of a rich father.
Life in college is just one wine
party after another for Durham.
Finally. as is quite often the case,
Durham wakes up to find himself
fatherless and broke"
His friend, Henry Kellogg, who
has staked him many times, lays out
the campaign by which Durham
can make himself rich. It is that of
going to a small town. becoming a
church member, abandoning bad
habits and counting the wealthiest
heiress. kellogg has it all figured
out that the worth while young men
of small towns always leave them
when they are able, and seek big
things in the big city.
The youths that are left are not
attractive to the girls. Thus a man
of Dunham's type would find easy
shedding to reach the heart of
small town heiress.
Durham tries this plan out. It
