License Plates
For Milk Dealers

License plates somewhat similar to
automobile registration plates, will be
given to all milk dealers in Maine
who deliver by team. when they
make their applications for 1928 to
state Dairy Inspector Forrest A.
Barbour. On each team used for the
delivery of milk a license plate must
he posted conspicuously and all vio-
lations of this section will be prose :
cuted. There will be no extra charge
for these plates. the expense being
covered in the license fees. About
1000 wagons will be licensed next
year.
Previously each dealer delivering
milk by team was given n number
and IT was the duty of the dealer TO
nave this number painted or posted
on his team. But in order that these
numbers may be more uniform and
more easily seen. the plate system has
been adopted for the coming year
Each plate measures about eight by
three inches and bears the license
number. the name OF the state and
the year These plates will be issued
next April with the new licenses.

HISTORY CUT DOWN,
NOPLACE FOR HALE
Toledo Author Explains to
Hartford Why Hero Was
Overlooked.

Prof William B. Guitteau, superfn-
tendent OF public schools in Toledo, has
been called to task by the city authori-
ties Of Hartford. Conn. for omitting in
his latest text book Our United States"
any mention OF the dearn or Nathan
Hale in tsss revolution.
This Is one of the complaints against
the text book by various societies here
VINO made charges against several au-
thors and prevailed on the educational
authorities to have the entire list Of
school histories investigated to discover
IL any anti-American sentiments were
being expressed
So far as Is known, Hartford is the
only city to which the controversy has
spread, and Prof. Guitteau's book is the
only one to come under censure there,
although four other histories are In the
same category here.
Several months ago John a. Gleason.
town clerk of Hartford. wrote to Prof.
Guitteau asking him to explain the rea-
son for the omission "of any record Of
the heroic sacrifice of Nathan Hale,
Revolutionary War Hero" Prof. Cult
teau replied:
IN cutting down the manuscript the
euitOrS FOUND the treatment or the Kew
olution somewhat too long. and unfor-
tunately this was one of the paragraphs
omitted. ] intend TO take care Of this
matter by having an illustration inseret-
ed of Hale's statue at Hartford and
suitable account Of his services.
Permit me to add that this Is one
case where the apparent sighting of a
great character does not in any way rep
resent the authors personal views. Upon
my recommendation the Board Of Edu-
cation last September named its newest
and finest elementary school building In
Toledo the Nathan Hale School; and I
believe there Is no finer example OF pa
triotism to place before the youth Of
America than the career of this man.
So you see 1 admit entirely the justice
of your criticism and thank you for MAX
tng it,
Seven copies OF the book are in use
In the Hartford schools. where they are
employed mainly for reference.
The report OF the committee of twenty
one principals and teachers who are
investigating books here will he SUBJ
mitted to DR.. William l.. Ettinger and
the board of Superintendents within
two weeks 1t is understood the COM
mittee Is unanimous in recommending
certain changes, which probably will be
accepted by the Board of Suporinten-
dents.
