MANY Renovations
and Alterations
Ito the "Y" Building

Tie Augusta Y. NJ. c. A. is RET
ceiving a thorough overhauling and
when complete, the building will
present fresh and altogether
clean appearance. The work is be-
ing done by the newly appointed
house committee, consisting of
Charles S. Brown, Percy v. Hill and
Fred r. Lord. All Of the rooms
have been put into first class con-
dition and are now receiving fresh
coat of paint. From the swimming
pool rooms in the basement to the
dormitory rooms on the top floor
the building lis receiving the close
attention of the committee and when
complete will look like new.
The swimming pool room anh
locker rooms have been redecorated
and made more attractive than ever.
A new steel ceiling in the young
mems locker room and rear:ange-
ment of lockers adds much to the
neatncss and attractiveness of this
room. The shower bath room ad-
joining this room has had a new
concrete floor which gives a chance
for the water from the showers to
drain to ono central place. thus
giving dry room where previously
water stood on the floor as there
was not sufficient pitch for proper
drainage. The swimming pool room
is now the most inviting room in the
entire building and when re-opened
again will afford much pleasure to
the entire membership.
The 35 men who live in the dor
mitory rooms have welcomed the
work of the committee in the fine
work which is being done in re-
decorating the rooms. When COM
plete, the rooms will be as attrac
tive and pleasant as any Y. M. c. A.
can boast of. The corridors and
bath rooms are also being painted;
the bath rooms in a fiat white and
, the corridors in a buff color.
The outside of the building has
also received special attention. Three
very attractive flower beds have been
placed on the lawn and these to-
gether with new flag at the en-
trance and new plate glass panels
in the doors at both the main and
side entrance to the building have
added greatly to the effect of what
was already very beautiful struc-
ture.

Vocational Work
In Maine Schools

Boston, Mass, July 6-(Specia)-
DIR. Augustus Q. Thomas, state SUPER
intendent of schools for Maine, in an
address today before the Department
of Vocational Education and Practi-
cal Arts of the National Education
] Association on the subject Vocation
al Education for the Rural Com
Imunity," declared that it is a much
more difficult problem to provide a
suitable form of industrial education
for rural than for urban communities.
The problem Of industrial educa-
ton for urban schools has become
greatly simplified in recent years and
much very fine work Is being accom-
rlished," continued DIR. Thomas.
There are and must be for many
years large number OF small oingle-
teacher schools. Isolated commune
ties are Unwilling to give up the
small school. especially where dis
tdnces make transportation difficult.
, This will necessitate the finding Of
some form Of work for the one teach
I or school. In Maine 1t consists Of
providing bench and tools and mate
rails for hot luncheons which support
definite instruction in the subject Of
home economics. They also take up
the work Of the various agricultural,
| home economics clubs and are get
ting information and habits which
must ultimately make for better rural
life.
In the consolidated school the
subject is becoming much easier and
much more satisfactory. The new
type Of rural school has its labora-
tories, Its shops, it's diversified course
or study the same as the urban
school Agriculture and home econ
omics are the chief features. These
are being developed on the vocation
al type. 1t is not every country child,
however. who wishes to become an
agriculturist or housekeeper. There
should be no bar put up keeping the
country child who has adaptability
for some other line Of work on the
farm nor should there be a bar put UP
TO keep those in the cities from going
out to the free open country,
Maine is developing a very inter-
esting experiment. The legislative
session of 1919 placed in the hands of
the State Board for Voca tional Edu-
cation an appropriation which may
be used for the purpose of organizing
ana conducting short courses in in
dustrial subjects for rural commune
ties. In Maine we have many towns
located at a distance from railroads
and larger villages. They are strictly
/ rural communities. Many of them
7 are sparsely settled and do not have
adequate high school facilities of
their own. Under the ARRANGEMENT
short courses of four to elk weeks
| may be set up in agriculture and
home economics. The work is con-
| Quoted entirely on a unit plan. One
year may be animal husbandry, an
other horticulture. etc. In period OF
years this rotation school will bring
| to the community the rudiments of
| the agricultural subjects. A corps of
| instructors is provided and also a
complete cabinet of apparatus and
equipment necessary to illustrate the
phases taught. Persons taking these

During this discussion the humor
in the situation was exceeded only
by the obvious concern the whole
thing is causing administration
leaders at the effect it will have
on the subsidy bill. For the most
part, spokesmen of the administra-
tion have remained silent.
In all quarters 1t was admitted
that 1T would be impracticable to
legislate intoxicants off foreign YES

Court already has construed the
law to provide for this IL the gov

the supplies. They are bought by
purchasing agents Of the various
