"The Great Moment" Is Great

Gloria Swanson's second stellar
role in Paramount pictures, The
Great Moment" which is on view at
the Opera House today for the last
times has pleased her admirers
nightly. 1t is a great picture and
this dainty star never appeared to
finer advantage in any production.
Milton Stills renders adequate sup
port as leading man. The story was
written by Nine. Elinor Glyn who
personally supervised the scenes and
cooperated with the director and
others in every phase of the produc-
ton. Thus each scene, every bit of
action is positively as she would have
it.-In short, it is Elinor Glyn on the
screen.
There is also. two reel comedy as
we'll as the Kilograms with the visual
news of all the world, and the Opera
House orchestra with its up-to date
popular music.-Adv.

Schooling for
Lighthouse Children

For a number of years the State of
Maine has been employing one or
more travelling teachers. known as
Lighthouse teachers, to instruct the
children at light stations along the
coast. This arrangement proved
successful and meant much to the
lighthouse children, who previously
We're entirely without educa tional ad-
vantages except in the case of those
stations located at or near the main
land
1t has not. however, proved the
equivalent of attendance at regular
town schools and it has now been de-
cided to go a step further by giving
these residents of light stations the
benefit of full school privileges, in
accordance with the progressive edu-
cational policies of DR.. Augustus O.
Thomas, state superintendent of pub
lie schools.
Maine is the only. state which makes
any provisions of this kind, and it is
altogether to its credit that this is
done, as light stations are govern
ment reservations for which the state
is under no obligation to make ed
ucational facilities.
The new plan is one recommended
by General Agent Adelbert w. Cor
don and approved not only by DR..
Thomas but by Capt. G. E. Sherman,
superintendent of lighthouses, with
whom the state department of educa-
ton is cooperating.

plan:
To Lighthouse Keepers:
Over 20 replies were received to our
recent circular relative to the best
method for schooling children at light

stations along the Maine coast. We
find q large majority are in favor of
the suggested plan of boarding chill
dren where they will be able to at
tend good town schools.
1t has. therefore. been decided to
discontinue after July !, 1922, the
plan of travelling lighthouse teachers
and, beginning with the fall term, to
arrange for the boarding of light
house children for attendance at
school in all cases where this can be
satisfactorily done. This matter will
be taken up in July or August by
Capt. c.. E. Sherman, superintendent
of lighthouses, with the different par
ents. and his recommendations will
be followed in each case.
The state will pay the greater part
Of the cost of board, while the par
ents will be expected to pay the
equivalent of what it would cost to
support the children at home. Par
ents may select the boarding places
and the children may attend any pub
lie elementary school in the state.
The board of high school students
cannot be paid. as this is not done in
any school system in the state.
In addition to the boarding plan,
regular teachers will be employed for
light stations where there are suf-
flcient number of children to make a
school profitable, and other conditions
are favorable. Such schools will be
opened upon the recommendation of
the superintendent of lighthouses and
application therefor should be made
directly to him.
This new plan means a larger in
creased expense to the State of
Maine for the schooling of lighthouse
children, but it is hoped that the re-
suits will be so satisfactory that the
arrangement may become permanent.
The full cooperation of parents will
be necessary to make the plan its
complete success and we feel conf
dent that this necessary cooperation
will be received.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) ADELBERT w. GORDON,
General Agent for Unorganized Ter
ritory.

Read What the New York World
Says of William Farnum and of
"Periury" the Photo drama
Five little minutes of William Far
mum on the cinema screen lends more
dignity to the art of the photoplay
than five months of the usual silly
prattle of most of the slick haired
toddle-top demons of our day.
There slipped into the Park Thea
tire yesterday afternoon one of the
finest bits of motion picture charac-
teriZation that has been seen in New
York for a year. And Mr.. Farnum,
although he finds himself the central
figure in story of life as old as the
hills, gives us a lesson in facial eX-
preston, photo dramatic excellence
and all round good pantomime that
will cause those who see him to once
more take heart and renew hope that
the picture play is not going to the
dogs. IS
The really worth while part of
Perjury" is the acting of Mr.. Far
mum. In America there is not an
other man more capable or more tall
ented by nature to act before the
camera than he. The wonder is that
he has not long before now set him
self aside, selected good stories and
specialized in the so-called Super
films" the kind that are good enough
and have sufficient power and APP
peal-to stay on Broadway for
months. 1"
His great "intellectuar' head; his
human, tender, courageous, manly
countenance; his fine hair; his eyes
that speak to the lens; his lion like
frame; his neatness and his grace.
He has them ALL
He caresscs his baby-girl, and you
wonder if it isn't really his own. He
sinks that huge fist,into the midsec-
ton of an enemy and you grunt of
pain. He acts. He is positive at all
times. You never wonder what he is
about to do. You behold what he
already has done. He is no poser.
Oh, for few more like him, Or
perhaps we should say, more pictures
with him.
His work in Perjury is worthy of
more than the usual amount of space
devoted to an actor, because he really
acts. O. T.. NJ

real estate is owned in two different
towns whose aggregate value is more
than $4,000, we think the only plan
that can be followed will be for the
assessors of the different towns
where the real estate is situated to
get together and apportion the
exemption according to the property
in the different towns.
This is not in accordance with any

Maine Surface Treated Gravel Roads

mdIne SuTIdCe Tedteu SFdVSi hodue
J. f. Donaghey, maintenance engi-
neer Of the Wisconsin State Highway
Commission, spent Monday and Tues
day with officials of the State high
way department for the purpose of
securing information relative to the
preparation of surface treated gravel
roads for re-treatment. The State
Highway Commission of Maine were
pioneers in this work and have devel-
oped to a higher state of efficiency
than any other department in the
country, having begun this treatment
about eight years ago and each sea-
son extending the treatment over
larger mileage of gravel roads.
For the last four or five years high
way engineers from all parts of the
country and Canada have been visit
ing Maine through the summer to
look at this work. Last September,
Mr.. A. r. Hirst, State Highway en-
sineer of Wisconsin, in company with
Thomas H. Mcdonald, chief of the
Bureau of Public Roads for the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, spent two
days in such an inspection. Mr.. Hirst
was so very pleased that he directed
Mr.. Donaghey. maintenance engineer,
to come here at this season and see
the roads being broken up and re-
shaped preparatory for re-treatment.
The inspection began Monday morn
ing at kittery and all sections of
gravel road between Kittery and Au-
gusta, and between Brunswick and
Woolwich were looked over during
Monday and Tuesday. Mr.. Donaghey
expressed himself as very much
pleased with what he had seen and
learned and stated that he believed
that similar methods would be ap-
plicable to some Of the gravel roads
of Wisconsin. Gravel roads are built
there as a temporary expedient on
some of the lighter travelled trunk
lines with the idea of paving these
lines as fast as the work can be I'M
dertaken. At the present time con-
tracts have been let in Wisconsin
since the beginning Of the year for
more than 200 miles of concrete road
surface and many more miles of the
same kind of pavement will be let
this spring.
Mr.. Donaghey was accompanied
Monday by Professor Martin of Chi
cago, an official from the Barrett Co.
