SUMMER SCHOOL PLANS.
Mr.. Bellatty Here Arranging Some
Details-Big School Coming.

to overcome a prejudice of the fed
| eral board officials against the
proposition for the Boston uni
| versity summer school for former
service men. Now the representa-
| tive of the federal board for vo-
| cational education in Boston writes
| to Washington headquarters that If
| they want a model for other pro-
| posed summer schools, watch the
| school at Ellsworth, Maine
| Nothing could more forcefully en-
| phasize the success of the Ellis
| worth school than this.
A large part of the success of last
years school was due to C. E. Bel
| latty, the director in charge. MI
Belatty has been here the past few
days arranging some details for this
years school, which will be more
than twice as large as that of last
year. He was accompanied by A
Montgomery Isenberg, a training
officer of the vocational board, who
will be with the school this sum-
mer. Mr.. Isenberg was in charge
at the naval training station at
Newport, r. l., during the war. 1t
was his first visit to Ellsworth, and
he left yesterday a thorough con-
vert to the desirability of Ellsworth
as a home for the summer school.
He and his family will occupy the
Carey cottage at Contention Cove.
Mr.. Bellatty says that every
where in Ellsworth he met with en-
thusiasm for next years summer
school, and good words for the
boys who were here last year. He
made many arrangements for the
school during his visit. In addi-
ton to the Odd Fellows hall, he has
arranged for the use of the lodge
room for lectures, and has rented
one of the stores on the ground
floor to be ftetd up as a club or
Longing room, or for study or
classroom if necessary.
He expects a school of about $50
students, and a faculty Of thirteen
or fourteen. The Odd Fellows build
ing, with the high school, will af-
ford ample school accommodations
and he has no fear for the housing
accommo dations after examining
the list of available rooms sent in
by the board of trade. A few of
the students have already expressed
their intention of again living in
tents, by preference
Mr. Bellatty would like now to
hear from those who would take
men and their wives, with children.
so that early arrangements can be
made. Also, few rooms for light
are desired. Write
now to Mr. Bellatty at the College
of Business Administration, Boston
Boston. Mass. Mr.. Bel
latty would also like to hear of |
shore cottages to let for the time
the school is here, or for the |
season; also for camps to let for |
week-ends.
The dining hall at the Odd Eel |
lows block will again be used as
mess hall, and on account of the !
size of the school, the men will be
fed in two shifts. School hours
will be about the same as last year, !
With Wednesday afternoon and all :
lay Saturday Off.
Something like seventy of the
,oys who were here last year will
,e back again this year, and will be
welcomed as friends. Their ac
luaintance also will serve as, an in
