High Seniors Score Hit in Peg o.
My Heart
When a group of High school boys
and girls, some of whom have never
been behind the footlights before,
can take a masterpiece made famous
by great actress and put it over as
was done by the Seniors in Belfas,
Tuesday night. it is feat we'll worth
the commentator of the public.
Such feat was accomplished when
the delightful play of ]. Hartley
Manners. Peg O. My Heart, written
for his wife. Miss Laurette Tayio1
and played by her with such success
was staged in the new William q.
Crosby School auditorium before It
large audience. 1t was one of the
finest productions ever given by the
local school and had one Of the
most evenly balanced casts.
In the new auditorium the gym is
used as the stage and 1t can be made
large or small as desired. There
is a handsome green curtain with q
border of gold, which sweeps back to
either side revealing the stage hung
with rich velvet draperies in taupe,
which lends itself admirably to an
interior setting. This drapery was
bought at a cost of several hundred
dollars and will be paid for by the
school with the profits of this and
other entertainments. The richness
of the hangings combined with the
furnishings used in this play. in
which there were also many flowers.
took away any amateurish effect and
gave the young actors a good start.
1t was all they needed. They did the
rest.

A Younn Lawver'e Idea
Piscataquis' first law office was
opened by James Stewart Holmes,
who was fresh from his graduation
of Brown University, with the glow
and the enthusiasm of beginner.
While he waited for age and prestige
to attach themselves to his shingle
his fertile brain hit upon the plan of
organizing a high school. He was
it's preceptor, for he Immediately
suited his thoughts to action.
The need of such an institution is
plainly seen, for its popularity was
quickly forthcoming. At the next
session of Legislature, a charter was
asked and promptly given. January
81, 1923. The charter is still active,

of the academy and, true to form, is
today. Within year from the pas
sage of the act, the trustees. were
obliged to raise funds or property
for the use of the academy to the
amount of $500 and also commence
instruction in the institution within
that time.
In the year 1898, Foxcroft had but
81 voters. The whole assessment for
the town purposes in that year was
$1,150: 5000 of which was to be paid
in work on the highways: 500 for
schools: $50 for town charges and
$50 for powder and balls.
There was hardship and strife for
those 81 heads of families and it was
a problem to raise the money for the
academy.

CHARACTER BUILDING
CALLED MOST VITAL
Pennsylvania Educator Says Abil'
ity to "Get On" With People
of First Importance.

ut is more important to have boy
learn to get on with people than to
learn to calculate interest or to know
the geography of South Africa"
This statement was made by DR..
Francis n. Maxfield, director of the
bureau of special education. state
department of public instruction, Har-
risburg, Pa. in an address before the
department of child hygiene of the
National Education Association today
at the District building.
Mental hygiene in the early years
of childhood" said DR.. Maxfield, is
coming to be recognized. Many men
tai attitudes ana characteristics of
personality which make for success
full social adaptation and happy living
in later life have their origin in the
mental atmosphere of the home dur
ing the pre-schooE age. But, In spite
of the importance of the pre-School
period. the school has responsibility
which must be recognized. To learn
elf-control, to develop qualities OF
leadership, to mingle happily with
others in work or in play is part
of any well rounded scheme of edu-
cation.
The school can supplement the
work of good home and can cor
rect many of the mistakes of an in
ferior home. The program of phys
ical education, with it's variety of &C
tivities. also develops mental quail
tiles of fair play, self-control and
leadership which are no less Vaiua-
ble."
DR.. Maxfield predicted there were
in nearly every school problem chill
dren, who were punished rather than
studied and cured. These children,
he said. require the best of scien-
tific study and sympathetic treat
ment if more serious results in later
life are to be avoided. The only
child is a difficult problem for the
best of homes. The contacts with
other boys and girls in school life are
necessary for this child if he is to
learn cooperation and unselfishness
In addition to problems like these
which may be considered normal the
school program of mental hygiene
must take into account tendencies
which may be considered abnormal or
psychopathic."
