HARRINGTON IN
DEFENSE OF STAND
ON SCHOOL QUESTION

In the address of Hon. Frank G.
harrington. who is seeking the Re-
publican nomination for governor
which he made in Waterville Satur-
day night, the following Is an alb
stract of that portion of his talk
dealing with the school question and
his remarks were called forth in
answer to a question put to him by
man in the audience:
There are about thirty-five alb
solutely non-sectarian academies, so
called. over Maine, among them one
at Litchfield and one at Monmouth
in Kennebec Couty. These academ:
les are operated and controlled by
their own boards of Trustees. The
Trustees enter into a contract with
the towns where they are located,
and sometimes with nearby towns,
where here are no high schools, I'M
der which contract the academies
furnish high school education to the
boys and girls of those towns. Keep
in mind that the authorities of the
town have no order or Superintend-
ence over tie academies and that they
are wholly controlled by their own
Trustees.
The so-called brewster" Consti-
last session of the Legislature, pro-
vided in Section one that call
moneys raised by taxation in the
towns and cities for the support of
public schools shall be applied to.
and expended in, no other schools
than those which are conducted ac-
cording to law, under the order and
superintendent of the authorities
of the town or city in which the
r'o"av is e';peHGcd:" This means that
IL the amendment had passed the
TRUSTEES and 1.-The towns could not
contract for the education of the
boys and girls of high school age in
those towns, because under the
language of the amendment the
academies were not under the order
and superintendent" of the towns
where the money would be eXpend-
cd. The hardship which would have
resulted TO the academies and the
towns alike, if the amendment had
passed is perfectly clear.
Keeping in mind this result, how
would you have voted on this mat
ter if you had been a member of the
Legislature?

ing to teach, will conduct this drill.

did opportunity which is given young
children to learn the un-interesting,
but very necessary, details of music
in an interesting way. The fee for
the whole year is no more than is
asked for one term of private lessons.
Among those who will take part
in the National Music Week program
to be given at the Taconnet club
house May 3, are the following stu
dents who are registered at the Co.
