B. & A. Head Takes
Stand for Home

Portland, Me-, June 23-Strenuous
opposition to any consolidation Of
railroads was voiced by Percy r. Todd,
president OF the Bangor & Aroostook.
in a speech at the opening session Of
the Maine Bankers Association today,
but he declared that il any consolida-
ton had to come. New England rail-
roads should he united with one anoth-
or. and not with railroads Of another
district.
so far as New England is concern
Cd" he said. no consolidation would
be for the best for the public. but il
Congress is going to force this action
l believe that the one New England
railroad company With home manage
mcnt would be better than ownership
Of the New England railroads by any
of the trunk lines"
IF financial responsibilities Of the
New Haven and Boston & Maine we're
absorbed with these roads by the New
York Central or any other trunk line.
he predicted that the differential rates
on west-bound traffic from New Eng
land. which have existed 40 years,
would cease.
1T has been told to me by one OF the
most important New England bankers
that it is his firm conviction that when
New England loses control of its rail-
roads to the trunk lines. that day will
he the beginning OF the end OF New
England industry" continued President
Todd "The fact that in the future We
may have government ownership as
well as government operation is At the
present more than a reality"
Reasons for this probability, Mr..
Todd said. included propa gar da by la
Dor unions in favor Of the Plumb plan.
savage attacks by LaFollette and asso-
ciates on the roads and present lack Of
railroad financial credit.
Bnkers. as holders Of railroad Sc
curities, should be interested in roads.
the speaker said. and he asked that
they consider their position As to the
socialistic, II not anarchistic attack"

next Congress by certain politicians.
He urged that their position be made
known to congressional representatives.
The transportatio act as 1t now stands
is a constructive piece Of legislation.
Mr.. Todd said. and he asked that 1t
be given a chance to operate.
BENJAMIN F.. Cleaves, executive
secretary Of the Maine Associated
Industries, said that Maine would
suffer greatly If the bill prohibiting
more than As hours work week for
women and children passes the next
Legislature. In cotton, wooden and
boot factories. so per cent. OF en-

H PLAY HOCKEY?

Why did boys play hockey when the
men of the present day were young
sters? For precisely the same rea-
son trat boys became truants in the
more precise language of today.
They were on the eternal quest of
fun. Without realizing it, they were
seeking the thing which the Declare
ton OF independence AYERS is the
third ~inalienable right of nan
The school room represented the
discipline which Young America, like
some of his elders. abhors. The
swimming hole, the shiny field, the
orchard and the chestnut grove were
alluring beyond power of resistance.
The hickory cane of yesterday took
no cognizance of the underlying rea-
sons for playing hockey.
But now. in some of the schools,
they have movies to illustrate the les
sons. Thus, the Fall of Rome eases
to be a stupid demand upon memory
and becomes a highly exciting appeal
TO interest.
In the manual training shops the
building of sleds and bird houses and
in the domestic science kitchen, the
making of pies and salads, have had
much to do with making education
really attractive.
The modern educator finds that he
can teach more to the interested child
than to the fogged child.
Consequently, the problem of tru-
ancy is growing less.
