Maine Plumbers
Give Endorsement

DR.. Augustus 0. Thomas, State
superintendent of public schools, has
received letter from j. +. Donovan
of Winthrop, secretary of the Maine
State Master Plumbers Association,
enclosing a copy of the resolutions
which We're adopted by the associa-
ton endorsing vocational education.
The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas. the apprentice system in
the building trade is a thing of the
past, no shop under present condi-
lions can teach a young man a trade,
and
Whereas, the time has come when
journeymen must be recruited from
men who have learned their trades
in foreign lands, our own American
boys are denied a chance to learn a
trade, and
Whereas, the public school system,
as far as the high school is concerned,
devotes the entire time to preparing
them for college, and
Whereas, it is stated by our State
superintendent of schools that only
about 10 per cent of them attend col
lege on leaving high school, and
Whereas, man with a trade has
a means of livelihood that no one can
take away from him, and as it is of
as much importance that boy is
educated SO that he will be compe-
tent to earn good fair wage as it
is to educate him so that unless he
goes to college it is of no practical
value, therefore, be it resolved,
That the Maine State Association
of Master Plumbers do hereby APP
prove the plan that the high school
system of the state devote q part of
the time to the teaching of the me-
chanical trades and that advantage
should be taken of the Smith Hughes
act of the United States government
and that the teaching of trades be
made part of the public school
system of the State.
That a copy of this resolve be
sent to the State superintendent OF
schools and be given to the press.

Interest in
Potato INSPECTION

Up to date there has been filed in
the Division of Plant Industry of the
State department oil agriculture 1876
signed applications from farmers
who want their fields of potatoes in
spected this season. The total acre
age covered by these applications is
1855 scattered over nine counties and
50 towns. Based on correspondence
which the office has on file, it is very
probable that there will be entered
at least $500 acres this year which
will demand an increased number Of
men to take care of the work. This
past season the shippers of certified
seed were Sable to sell their stock
for $3.50 to So per barrel above the
table stock market, and for this rea
son a new interest in certified seed
has been created.
Erlon L. Newdick, the chief of the
Division of Plant Industry, wishes at
this time to sound a note of warning
to some of the farmers who are filing
applications, telling them that the
rules and regulations are more or
less severe and that they cannot hope
to have their acreage pass unless
they have some especially good stock
to start with.
1T would be the ruination of the
certified seed game for the depart
ment to be lax in it's standard, but
on the other hand it has practically
become necessary to be more rigid
than ever, and the percentage of dis
eases allowed in some cases has been
cut down." said Mr.. Newdick.
IF every acre entered was allowed
to pass it would not be long before
the end of certified seed work would
be in sight," continued Mr.. New
dick
THE department has been fairly
fortunate this year in the number
Of complaints and intends to keep
up the standard another year as in
the past.
''These men who have entered the
work just because their brother
farmers We're fortunate and have
nothing to work with as foundation
will probably be disappointed, but it
is better that they be disappointed
than that the work which has been
built up receive a setback.

coming July at the time of the annual
convention of the National Education
Association, and plans will b, pretty
well worked out at that time. The
time and place of holding the confer
ence will also be decided at the Bos-
ton meeting.
DR.. Thomas said that there is a
great interest throughout the world in
the coming conference. The feel
ing is that this is a great oppor-
tunity and out of it should grow
definite ideas which would bring
the various nations more closely to-
gether in sympathetic relationship.
Each nations representative will give
a brief history of education in his
country and the status of the present
day education which will be the basis
of the conference. These statements
with the conference reports will be
printed.
