STATE HIGHWAY
WORK PLANNED
NEAR KENNEBUNK

The State Highway Commission il
to start Immediately upon much
needed improvements in the highway
between Dunstan and kennebunk to
get it in shape for spring. In Saco
it is planned to make much needed
improvement near the Goose Fare
brook on the stretch Of road which
runs under the railroad bridge There
has been a shifting underbed on a
short stretch of road running under
the bridge and it has been almost i'm
possible to keep the road surface in
repair. 1t is proposed to remedy
this condition, making an excavation
OF few feet at this point and lay
ing short section of railroad track
attached to regular ties over the sub
SOIL This will be entirely covered
over and a new surface built over it.
Engineers say that this method will
remedy conditions and that no fur
ther trouble will be experienced.
On the road between Biddeford and
kennebunk it is planned to improve
the stretch of road starting near the
Gregoire farm and running about
mile in a westerly direction. This
stretch is the one which was impass-
able for many weeks last spring on
account Of mud. Many cars found it
impossible to get through this Sec
ton of road for several weeks during
the past spring and those which did
get through nearly RUNE dthe road
1t is proposed to build this road near
ly two feet higher than the present
level and allow for proper drainage.
This will be one of the best improve
ments made along the road this year.
Work has already been started
widening the highway in Saco from a
point near the Chaplin place for
considerable distance towards Port
land. This work is also being done
by the State Highway Commission
and good progress is being made.
Greater safety will be enjoyed by au-
toists when this improvement has
been made.

Through the cooperation Of the
American Legion, The National
Education Association and the
Federal Bureau of Education,
December 80 inclusive 10 designated

object Of setting apart the above
named weeks is to focus the atten-
ton of the nation upon education as

the Improvement Of our schools"
writes DR.. Augustus o. Thomas,
State Superintendent Of Schools In

leading newspaper is invited to CO.
operat e and present leading editor
al on some phase of education. We
hope the people will feel called upon
to support the modern movements in
education. We invite thoughtful and
constructive criticism but want to
avoid fault finding.
During the week designated there
should be light in every school
house in the State. Boards of edu
meet. There should be gatherings of
citizens to talk frankly over what
means will best bring to the children
of the community the proper educa-
tional advantages. School Improve
ment should be the cry, not cheap
schools but good schools and a full
return for every dollar spent.
The American Legion, the Ma
tional Education Association and the
United States Commissioner Of Edu-
cation, have agreed upon the fol-
lowing phases that should be en-
phasiZed during this week from the
