Maine May Send
Team to the Natl.
Shoot Next Year

There is considerable interest in
the military circles of the State in
the National Rifle Shoot which is be-
ing held throughout this month at
Camp Perry in Ohio. Word has been
received at the office of Adjutant
General James w. Hanson that Yer
non L. Summers of Bangor, a mem
Der of the r. o. T. c.. and a student
at the University of Maine, won fifth
place in the tryouts for small bore
arms.
There is no Maine team this year
but we hope to be represented by a
team next year." said Adjutant Cen
eral Hanson yesterday. He stated
that Maine had been represented
there until the last two years. and
that he is trying to reviv, the inter-
est in small arms competition. The
State Shoot is a means of reviving
interest in the National matches.
In referring to the Importance Of
these competitions. General Hanson
pointed out that it is essential that
a. soldier be able to shoot and shoot
straight. That is a very necessary
part Of his training. The best rifle
men not only of this country but of
other countries are entered in the
matches at Camp Perry. They are
really super-experts. 1t is in reality
an international competition.

School Community
Plan for Secondary
School Activities

1.-THE School Community" plan
for pupil activities in secondary
schools, has been devised by Josiah
w. Taylor, State agent for secondary
education. and outlines of the plan
are ready for distribution among
high school principals who make
application. Mr.. Taylor points out
that The School Community is q
plan for democratic organization Of
the student body for the ultimate
purpose Of citizen training. Its i'm
mediate aim Is to provide agencies
for carrying on extra classroom &C.
tivities. 1t is not plan for student
government but may be a prepara-
tory step leading to the student
council and general participation of
pupils in the internal management
of the school. In many schools sew
eral independent organizations like
the athletic associations are main
tanned with optional membership.
The school community plan provides
that these organizations be part of
the school as a whole and places the
responsibility upon the entire stu
dent body.
The plan was drawn up with the
smaller schools in mind. and can
probab bly, be used most effectively FOR
schools of three hundred pupils or
fewer. 1t should fill the important
place which the School Improve
ment League is taking in the ele-
mentary schools. The plan will pro-
vide much needed training in par
liamentary practice, experience in
conduct of public meetings. commit
tee work and the like. The plan is
in tentative form and will probably
be extended later.
The Plan in General
Membership-This membership is
comprehensive. including all who
are members. i. e., pupils. Of the

school. The school is the student
community. No distinction by
classes is made for such distinction
is undemocratic. Each class is a
part of the school. Each student is
a member or citizen of the school
community so long as he is q men,
Der of the school. He must share
in responsibility and in privileges.
The faculty is equally a part of the
school community and should par
ticipate as such in the plan of or
ganiZation.
Officers-The officers will vary
somewhat as conditions require. In
general. they would consist of presi-
dent. vice president, secretary, treas
urer, auditor.
Commissions or Boards-The most
important activities of the school
will be under the immediate con-
troll of the commissions or boards.
For example, the board of athletics
will have general control of the
athletics in accordance with instruc-
tons of the school community. 1t
would consider policies, confer with
captain and managers. promote in
terests of athletics in general. The
board of publications and publicity
would have the school paper in
charge. handle news for the local
papers. handle any school informa-
ton of general character.
Among other boards would be
found: Library board; board of
building and grounds; board of lit
erary activities, i. e., debating lyce-
UNI. rhetoricals: budget commission;
school clubs commission: board of
social affairs. The number and
functions would depend upon the
opportunities for actual service
which conditions would provide. A
commission should be created be-
cause Of some specific and plausible
undertaking In which it may engage.
Set up small number at the start
Boards should consist OF three.
five. and in large schools possibly
seven members.
The chairmen with the officers
may form cabinet.
Faculty members may be elected
on any of the boards on the same
terms as the students
Board Of Review-The findings
and proposals of any board should
be submitted to a board of review
made up of one or more faculty
members ana the preSlQenS OF the
school community. The school COM
munity as a body polite recognize
the authority of school officers and
faculty Of the school as superceding
that IF the school community.
The president of the school COM
munity should preside at all assem-
blies except as he yields the privi-
lege to the principal. or some one
designated. He should represent the
school whenever occasion arises.
The vice president assumes the
duties of the president in his alb
sence. He should be made RESPONSE

Of all boards or commissions advis-
Ing on parliamentary law. and man.
agement of such meetings. He
should have access to all meetings
of boards but may not vote or dis
cuss questions at issue.
officers are elected by ballot. The
method should conform to the ,ocal
or state plan. The details form an
excellent project for classes in civics
to work out and incorporate in the
constitution.

Gov. Baxter Is Not
Favoring Any Plan
of Railroad Merger

Governor Baxter in a letter Mon
day to Hon. Henry C. Hall of Boston.
Mass, a member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, declared that
he Is not yet ready to endorse any one
Of the proposed New England rail-
road consolidation plans. His let
ter was as follows:
the hearing which you are holding
to discuss the New England railroad
situation, l desire to state my views
on this important subject. The New
England Governors Joint Railroad
committee have rendered an impor-
tant public service and their recon-
mendations are entitled to most
careful consideration. l believe the
committees findings are entirely
Impartial and that in their work they
were actuated by a desire to render a
public service.
LAS Governor of hlaiIo ] have not
yet determined in my own mind what
plan Of consolidation would os tor
the best interests of the people and
the industries of my State. Our
may be that 1t deserves a treatment
somewhat different from that to be
accorded to our sister New England
states.
ION certain phases Of the question
the members Of our Maine railroad
committee were not in entire accord
with the members from the other
New England states. Other plans Of
consolidation tor the Maine railroads
have been suggested and are meet
ing with considerable favor in our
State. Before arriving at decision
as to the merits Of these conflicting
views, l desire further time and IN
| formation. and am writing YOU &c
that your commission viii; 2nder-
stand that at present l am not giving
