Gardiner High Girls Tie
With Alumni In Fast Game

The Gardiner high school girls
basketball team and the Alumni
played one of the best and fastest
games ever seen in The high school
sym. Saturday night, the game end
ing in tie, PAPA. The game was
full of action throughout. and the
feeling of friendly rivalry was high.
The outlook Is bright for the high
school team as they have plenty OF
good material. Barbara Hazard and
Bertha Stonier starred for the Alum :

kept the high school forwards In

Miss MCDonald's administration
-Four are teaching in the school OF
the state, d number are filling Cicri-
cal positions with credit, and one has
Worked her way through college.
Other things for which the admin
istrati0n should have full credit have
to do with the physical side of the
Sirls' lives. Until Miss Mcdonald
CanI5 there was no comprehensive
medical examination when girl

these preliminary examinations. and
exact records are kept. Careful at
tcntiUn is given to dietarics; the as
sistant superintendent is trained
dictitian. supplies are OF the best
quality. 4 dome site science teacher
is employed to teach the girls sew
Ing, millinery, anu various handi-
crafts.
The type of girl has chang, i since
the establishment of the State Board
Of Charities and Corrections. The
neglected and dependent are cared
Tor elsewhere; the school gets only
the delinquent, which makes it's work
harder. In 1918 under Gov. Curtis
Farwcll Cottage, named for Miss
Clara Farwcll, trustee for 35 years,
was obt1ined and the younger girls
separated. The Barber and Curry
properties, tie latter a residence for
tho school Mechanic, have been added
to the school. The Woods farm has
been rented Tor the past few years,
as the school land is poroly adapted
for farming. On school land many
apple trees and small fruits have
hccn set. Other changes of interest
have been the employment of a resi-
dent nurse and n woman physician.
The bookkeeping, once done away
from the institution, is in the hands
OF a competent bookecper employed
al the institution. This change was
made in 1910. The parole work for
these girls placed outside the school
was Inadequate, and since 1910 a
parole officer has been employed.
Miss ItombCidt now has tina posi-
ton. The dress of the girls has been
modernized SO that one may no
longer know an inmate of the insti-
tuition by her attire. In all respects
the place is now a modern school in
the best sense of the word, credit
to the training, work and enthusiasm
Miss Mcdonald has expended upon
it.

gives over her position as sup, rinten-

Rev. Edward w. Webbcr. is leaving
behind her work. state wide in it's
scope, which should be n matter of just
pride. Miss Mcdonald succeeded Mrs.
Mary f. King in 1909. She ia the third
woman superintendent of the institu-
ton and the longest in office by six
years. but it is far from being in
length of service alone that her admin
istration is distinctive.
Miss Mcdonald came to her work
here well prepared. A native Of stan
dish. Maine. she received her early Cd
ucation in StandiSh and Windham,

chanic Falls. went from there to West
brook Seminary. took college work and
supplemented this training by study
end observation in various schools in
New England. She taught in high
schools in Maine and Massachusetts.
In the latter state she did work alor::
social service lines ard was promi-
nent in club work as well.

present work of the State school to 90

became larger and tho term of remain

FOUND possible to require graduation
from the grammar school from every

more than a grammar school tyne
