SUMMER SCHOOL.
a f. Bellafty Here Last Week to
complete Arrangements.

r E. Bellatty of the College OF
p,siness Administration of Boston
university was In Ellsworth last
,raek TO make further arrangements
tor the coming here of the summer
scbooI for ex-service men, as told in
Tbe American last week He was
ancompanied by j. G. Walsh, one of
tbe ex-service men and students, who
is yice-president of the Carry-on club
nomnosed of the students and has
heen active in promoting the sum
mer school idea. They were joined
on saturday by L. A. Gadbois. who
will be manager of the culinary de-
nartment, which is a mighty impor-
tant feature, when a bunch of one
hundred or more husky young men
is TO be fed three times day. The
boys know him: they are not worry
ing any about Chow"
The officers and reception commit
tee of the board of trade met them,
and gave what assistance they could
in making the necessary arrange
ments. And right here it may be
said that all three of the visitors exJ
pressed themselves as much pleased
with the cordial cooperation mani
tested by the board of trade. and by
all the citizens whom they met.
Arrangements were completed for
the use of the high school building
for class work, for the use of Blacks
field for q camp site and ball ground,
and for the use of the banquet hall
in the odd Fellows block for din
ing hall. Mr. Gadbois said the hall
was admirably adapted to the pur-
nose. except that a new sink and new
range will be necessary.
The camp of some twenty-five
tents will be pitched on a slightly
knoll in Blacks field, commanding a
view far down the river and across
TO Indian Point. Arrangements were
also made with the power company
for electric lights, and with ]. F.
Studer for wiring.
Mr.. Gadbois VIII bring his chef
and assistants with him, but would
like to arrange for two or three girls
as Mattresses during the term of the
summer school, and woman as
dish-washer. Applicants for these
positions should write to Mr.. Gadbois
now at 525 Boylston street, Boston,
giving some member of the board of
IEdut as AtiClthLts 4ul oduDOi6 W
be here about June 25. ten days be-
fore the opening of the school, to
make final arrangements for food
supplies, milk, eggs. farm produce,
etc. but il would be we'll for some of
the farmers who would like to fur
nish supplies to get into communica-
tion with him now.
The impression seems TO have been
gained by many Ellsworth people
that the ex-service boys who are com
ing here are men who have been shot
TO pieces in the service. This Is
doubtless due TO the wide publicity
given to the work that the govern
ment is doing for men who have been
badly MANNED or crippled in the SER
vice, by instructing them in some
manual work that will make them
self-supporting. and to the further
fact, as stated in The American last
week. that most of the boys who are
coming here have been wounded in
the service.
As matter of fact, there is not
crutch in the bunch" of the boys
coming here. These boys are in the
pay OF the government, and receiving
not manual training, but a business
education, Every one of them Is
competent now to earn more money
than the government is paying him,
and one of the things the college has
to contend with is to keep them at
the job OF fitting themselves for still
higher positions instead of accepting
good jobs that have been offered
many OF them. Again, the people of
Ellsworth must not gain the idea
that this is charitable undertaking
that these boys are wards of the
government That Is far from the
