ment in regard to the operation OF

where there is a special primary
law.

office, excepting the candidates OF
his own party, for the reason that
by the provisions of law, although
the primary election for all parties
is held on one day, the election Is.
to all intents and purposes, an
election for each party" says At
torney General Shaw in his state
ment.
mo one can vote in a primary
election unless he is qualified

been enrolled in one of the
political parties.
"a person may change his en-
rollment at any time but shall not

Trying to Bring
Maine Schools to
Highest Efficiency,
DIR. Thomas Asserts

DIR. A. o. Thomas, State commits
sioner of education. in letter just
sent to principals and superintend-
ents of schools points out that an
endeavor is being made to bring the
schools of the State of Maine to the
highest point of efficiency and that
the best place to being is with the
elementary schools. This must be
done through proper building and
equipment and the employment of
properly trained teachers with i'm
proved methods.
There will be about 700 trained
teachers to enlist in our schools this
fall, which represents about go per
cent of the annual turnover. IF
we continue to provide trained
teachers at the present rate. by 1850
it would seem unnecessary to en-
ploy any unframed teachers" says
DR.. Thomas.
1T must be understood, however,
that from this program of trained
teachers beginning with the ele-
mentary schools it will be from four
to eight years before the results can
be shown in high school and col
lege."
Mr.. Thomas is sending to the
principals and superintendent tabu-
lations of the work of the freshmen
class of the Maine colleges and the
University of Maine for the first
semester Of the year just closing, the
report showing the subjects carried
in the different colleges, the number
OF grades represented, together with
the number of honor and failure
grades.
One purpose in making these
studies is to get at the specific weak
nesses and overcome them, Dr.
Thomas points out.
