vocational training was taken up there
some years ago and was given a thor
ough trying out and was discarded.
They found that the boy or girl of IA or
Is years of age was not fitted to judge
what they wanted to do and that their
desires in that matter at that time were
often far different than what it was
when they had completed their high
school course.
Mr. HinclIey told OF the cost of
building rs illustrating how everything
had increased in price with them just
as it had with other people. In 1912
they had built one OF their "homes"
for $1,000 and in 1872 they were left
$4,000 to build another home, and Wa
terville contractors wanted about SEQ
900 for the same job, and last year
Waterville and a Portland contractor
bid on the job again, making the price
$4,000 and $4,000 respectively. Mr..
Hinckley told briefly of how some of
the boys had been admitted, showing
how they were chosen.
He closed with an earnestly express
ed wish that the people of this section
would visit the home at any time, in
particular visiting the museum. which
is open every day to all visitors, and
inspect the work of the school and
thus get in closer touch with what is
being done there for the boys and girls
whom it is possible to admit.

At Good Will Farm

The regular meeting Of the Kiwanis
Club at the Elmwood Hotel last eve
ming was addressed BY Walter P.
Hinckley, a member of the club, who
talked on his work as manager Of the
Good Will Home and Farms. Mr..
Hinckley sketched briefly the founding
of the home. saying that It was started
with a definite plan and that the plan
had never been changed-it was the
care Of boys and girls in as near a
home life as 1t is possible, and that the
boys and girls must be those who do
not have q home Of their own.
There Is no race or creed considered
in the home, although lately by order
OF the State Board Of Charities and
Corrections it has become necessary
for them to find out the creed of the
families of the boys they take. Neither
IL the home q correctional institution.
The boys and girls who are taken there
are not taken to be reformed, although
sometimes boys are taken who may
have had rather bad record up to the
time that they come INTO the home.
The boy or girl must be able TO enter
the fifth grade and the intellectual
ability of the applicant for admission

or the fancy new tests of ability.

Rev. Mark Speaks
At Rotary Meeting

Rev. John Mark, rector of the Uni
tartan church at Fall River, Mass,
delivered a fine talk on The Three
Types Of Patriotism before the
members Of the Waterville Rotary
club at their regular noon luncheon
held yesterday at the Elmwood ho-
tel
Rev. Mr.. Mark gave as the first
type, the man who maintained a
sentimental attitude towards his
country. The man who believes THAI
his country can do no wrong or can
not be in the wrong. Ills motto is
my Country, Right or Wrong"
AS the second type he mentioned
the man who makes spectacular
display of his patriotism. The man
who waves his flags aloft and recites
ecstatic platitudes about his country
being the best country In the world.
The third type of patriot recited by
Mr.. Mark Is the man who is as con-
scious of his country's weakness as
he is of her virtue and strength. He
declared that thorough critic makes
the most worthy patriot. That man
not only sees facts as they are but
has grasp Of the great eternal prin-
ciples which must forever guide ma
lions Alright.
'"True patriotism, affirmed the
speaker, els the cooperation of the
Individual and his government in the
fIlfillment of one great purpose,
namely the blessing of each and all
and the creation of a healthier,
sounder environment around us. This
type appeals to our common sense"
All of the meeting following the
dinner was given over to Mr.. Marks
and when he had finished the Rotari
ans gathered around their fellow
member from Fall River to congrat-
ulate him on his address.

Autoists Kick on Tall Grass

Some automobilists travelling on
highways In the vicinity of Water
vile complain that tall grass has
grown up in many instances practi-
cally hiding concrete culverts and
guard rails. One driver from this
city turned out one night recently
to allow another car to pass him.
He turned he supposed onto a fairly
smooth grassy surface. Suddenly
there was a crash and he was
thrown violently forward. When he
got out of his car he found that
he had hit the top of a concrete Gull
vert and his front axle had been
carried back about three feet un-
der the car and considerable other
damage had been done.
Suggestions have been made that
a standard marker of some kind be
placed near such culverts and dan
gerous places SO that drivers can
readily take warning night or day.

Discharge papers should always be
brought along in order that the
blanks can be filled out more easily.
Those who have been hesitating to
go and fill out their blanks should
not delay as death before the appli-
cation is filled out would mean that
the dependents will receive only the
sum allowed for adjusted service pay
and that in payments covering two
years and a half

cussing the summer camp situation
with several owners who had had
occa zion to come there and practi-

same time he said that there was
another camp not far from him that
was keeping open for seven boys
and was unable to get any more to
come there.
