OAK Grove

Music has occupied a prominent
place in the Chapel essays this week.
there having been two exceptionally
interesting papers on dlifcrent
phases of the subject. The Junior
essay on Monday morning was given
by Maude Davey, '25 of Mexico. Me,
while on Wednesday morning was by
Harriet Kimbail, rs, of East Booth
bay. 1t is an interesting fact that the
mothers of these two girls are ac-
Complished musicians and graduates
of Conservatives. The Chapel adj
dress on Tuesday morning was
delivered by George McCausland. "a
of Winslow who gave q brief history
of the Olympic games and explained
the present contests.
Miss Wilton, the head of the La tin
department is convalescing from her
recent illness at the Sisters Hospi-
tai in Waterville. Miss Wilton will
not be able to take up her duties for
a month and Oak Grove is most for
tunate in securing as substitute Miss
Eva Hammond of New York city.
Miss Hammond is q graduate of
Boston University, has her masters
degree from Columbia. and has had
10 years experience teaching in sec
ondary schools and in Martha Wash
tHSLOn Junior tOlleSe OF Virginia.
The members of the faculty gave an
informal reception to Miss Hammond
on Wednesday evening.
Excitement reigns supreme on the
campus due to the second round of
interclass basketball games which
are being held this week. On Mon
day, the Sophomores barely nosed out
the Freshmen. Tuesday the Seniors
took the Sophomores into camp to
the tune of 65-2.
Considerable interest is manifested
in the game with the Winslow High
quintet on Friday at Winslow. Oak
Grove and Ninslow High have both
defeated Cony High by comparative
scores and Fridays contest should be
a close one.

stables and competent

proper stables and competent
hostlers.
Much Of the work. however. to-
day is done by sub contractors or
jobbers, many of whom are French
Canadians from the Province of
Quebec and foreigners from the
Slavic States. These people do not
know how to care for themselves or
for their animals, and life Is hard
for both. They need to be taught
how to live and how to treat the
faithful horses that work so hard
for them. In one place / saw two
new stables equally well constructed.
one for the COmpanys horses where
everything was clean and dry, and
the other, with the same equipment
in a deplorable condition where the
Door animals would come in reeking
with sweat only to stand poorly
blanketed in a wet, dirty place. My
sympathy went out to these poor
animals even more than to the men
because they. at least, could do
something for themselves.
Liquor conditions in the woods
Of Maine are better than they ever
were before. 1t Is seldom that any
quantity is brought across the

ploy. The woods camps of Maine
will average well up with the clean
est towns and cities of the State as
far as liquor is concerned.
Life in the Maine woods in win
ter is hard at best. To work in
zero temperature in driving wind,
hauling loaded pulp and long lum-
Der, taxes the endurance of man and
horse. The day we left the wind
was blowing forty miles an hour
with the temperature IL degrees be-
low zero, but the horses and the
men went to work in the woods as
usual at. daybreak. l do not see
how they stand it.
1--WE visited some Of the camps
kept by French Canadians and life
is about as simple there as can be
imagfned-one room with few
hunks, q stove and some kitchen
tools with absolutely no comforts
not a book or newspaper, where the
people are up two hours before day
break and go to bed soon after dark.
