Inc trooping OF the Union Jack at
Dublin Castle, which since 1900 had
been an impressive ceremony of tho
name st. Patricks' Day of !reland's
patron saint today for the first time
was omitted.
Instead there was a troouinr and
the blessing of the Republican tri-
color at Marlborough Hall. which
was transferred some time ago bv the
crown forces to the Irish Republican
army. At the ceremony were MANY
members of the Irish general head
quarters staff including Richard Null
cahE' minister Of defense and Owen
ODuify, chief of staff of the Irish
republican army. The greatest Of
enthusiasm prevailed. The singing Of
the Soldiers song" during the cere-
mony was feature.
The general use Of the gaelic lam
Suage IN the churches and at Doliti-
cal gatherings was another striking
feature of the day. In Dublin the
only meetings held We're anti treaty.
The largest Of them was at HaroId's
Cross. 1t was addressed by Countess
Markievicz, Erskine Childers and
others. Only 400 persons attended
and among theme We're signs of dis
sent from the sentiments of the
speaker
The other speakers tainted Arthur
Griffith for prohibiting a convention
of the volunteers saying this was
because he was afraid they would
stand up for republic.
The chief meetings in the country
were at Waterford. where Eamon De
Valera spoke and at Skibbereen.
where Michael Collins was the chief
attraction. AR. Collins was accorded
an enthusiastic reception. the crowds
being swelled by contingents coming
on special trains from Bantry, Dun
manWay and Bandon.

EVENING SESSION

The evening session was conspicuous
for its depleted ranks, nearly half of
the members of the convention having
left for home. The chairman Of the
evening was J. W. Taylor, supervisor
of secondary education. The first adj
dress of the evening was one given by
DR. Romiett Stevens. who spoke on
The Educational Needs of Girls in
1922"
DIR. Stevens opened her talk with the
statement that manv might ask why
there was any discrimination between
the boys and the girls and why the
year 1922 was specified She said in
answer to this that We have at the
present time almost new special of
girls, the fappers. These girls while
primarily the same as their mothers
were. instead of taking the one step
ahead which their mothers and grand
mothers have always taken. have taken
five or six steps, or in other words,
have progressed so much further since
their mothers were girls than their
mothers did that the latter are getting
alarmed.
This stepping ahead from custom to
custom has always been going on.
but at this time were are running into
more of it due to three things. modern
high speed comforts, the Great War
and suffrage. These things have civ en-.
to many girls more liberty than they
have ever had and they have been
quick to grasp them as birthright.
These girls being in the adolescent
stage do all things in superlatives.
They dress extremely. they talk *
tremely, their adiectives even are used
to an extreme. They are hunting after
new sensations without exactly know
ing what they want.
Because of this and the fact that
they are going into the world more
and more at earlier ages. something
must be done to educate the INTO meet
The problems of life and to assume
their share of the burden. There are
severa! things that should be taught
them.
The first is health. They should be
taught habits of health and OF per-
sonal hygiene. so that they might con-
serve and safeguard their health.
They should be taught the values
of the various vocations that they
might enter that for which they are

Passing of Little
Old Red School House

Article 43. To see if the town will
vote 10 sell the school building near
the top Of Dorman HILL So called, or
act anything therein.
To the casual observer the above
article, recently acted upon by the
voters of Winthrop, means little
but to many of the older residents of
the town it's passage brings a pang
of regret for the little old Red
Schoolhouse" has many fond MEM
cries for those whose early days
were spent within its sheltering
walls. Located part way down the
old Fellows HILL" one of the
steepest and worst hills in town. the
building in question was erected
about 1865 or '66 on the site of a
former school building which must
nave been one of the first to he built
IN winthrop. The old building was
burned, so it was said. by man who
had mania for burning buildings
and who afterwards burned a barn
IN the same neighborhood and was
senta to prison for it.
This first schoolh0use contained two
rows OF seats and benches each about
eight feet long and seating five or
. SIX pupils each and built of two
inch plank. At the time the second
schoolhouse was built lumber was
still cheap and the seats and benches
were still of plank but each built to
accommodate only two pupils.
Across the back of the room. how

wooden seats were replaced with
more up-to-date ones When the old

the initials of many Of the boys and
girls who had sat behind them and

Known citizen of the town tells Of
the time that he and another boy in

discovered what they were doing
When she did discover it they were
made to whittle the plank all out

an awful job" Probably not half
as much fun as cutting the names.
The stove in use was either long

with long funnel, held in place by

classes and have conferences with
them.
Some problems that the principal
might We'll consider were then taken
up by the speaker. First is in rcla-
ton to the amount OF teacher and
pupil activity in the class room. II
the teacher talks 80 per cent. of the
time. that leaves but 10 per cent. of
the time for the boys and girls to ca
press themselves.
Another fruitful problem is the
study of the type of instruction that
the teacher uses. These and other
points regarding the principals super
vision of the teachers, the speaker
amplified in very enlightenng and
brilliant discourse.
AT the close of her remarks the
morning session was adjourned.
AFTERNOON MEETING
Promptly at two o'clock the after
noon session of the convention was
begun with Principal l.. L. Moulton
OF Auburn. presiding. The topic to
, be discussed was What service are
intelligence tests rendering and what
use is being made of subject tests
and with what results?" The dis
dussion was opened by Principal
Frederick III. Pierce OF Lewiston
who told of the work which they had
been doing in his school and of the
results which have been obtained.
Mr.. Pierce said that the work of
classification of students has alwaA
been done in a more or less hap
hazard manner. He said that al
though they might be very conscien-
cious, that their judgment might not
always be of the best and that they
might classify a student wrongly.
These tests give a comprehensive
idea of the intellectual age of a stu
dent but the one great fault is that
it does not bring out what the speak
err termed moral delinquency" such
as lack of persistence.
This characteristic is often lack
ing in otherwise brilliant scholars
and Mr.. Pierce is at loss as to the
method to discover if this is lacking
and the manner in which to bring
it out.
Principal John A. Partridge Of
Sanford gave his views on the sub
ject which were much in accord
with those of the principal speaker.
He said that they have tried the
methods and found that in the same
class there would be great differ
cnCe in the students rank both in
this intelligence test and in the sub
ICct test. These differences did not,
however necessarily be the same
with a student in the one kind of test
that they were in the other. They
have split their Freshman class into
six classifications three groups of
students who expect to go to college
and three who will finish school with
their graduation.
The result of this classification has
been that those in the higher CLASH
tication have done one third more
work than the lower group students
and at the same time the work has
been of better grade.
One thing that he has noticed with
regard to this work is that the stud
dents seem to be better satisfied.

tally seeming to have more work to
do and SO keeping them interested,
while those in the &C" group are not
forced to try to do work that is
above them and SO they too are salts
fed.
After these two meW had spoken
there was an extended discussion of
this matter. many taking part who
