Augusta Boy at
Bates in Senior
Commencement PLAY

Meredith +. Burrill of 6 Croker
street, who is graduating from Bates
College this month, will be one of
the torchbearers in the commence
men play Iphigenia in Aulis.
This Greek annual play, which
has always attracted attention all
over New England. is perhaps the
prettiest feature of commencement
week. 1t will be given the evening
OF June 70 on the steps of Coram
Library, which makes a wonderfully
attractive stage with it's stately col
umns as background and the
smooth green of the campus sloping
back from the library in a perfect
open air theater. The dancers, in
their lovely flowing robes, the light
ing, the costumes, the chorus, in adj
dition to the dignity and artistic
skill of the actors produce scenes
of real beauty and this years pro-
duction bids fair to be one of the
best ever given.
The play is in charge of Professor
Grosvenor M. Robinson, head of the
department of Public Speaking at
Bates College and one of the trus-
tees OF the Curry School of Express
sion In Boston. who is particularly
skillful as director and coach.

Asks Outgoing
School Supts. to
Nominate Teachers

'In some instances my attention
ha; been called to the fact that the
superintendent who is to leave the
union refuses to nominate teach RS
or complete records" says DR.. A. o.
Thomas, state commissioner Of edu-
cation, in a letter sent to superin-
tendents of schools. This Is seri-
Gus handicap to the work of the UNI
ion. The superintendent may not be
able to get his report made out by
the first of July. IF 1t requires long
er he is working on his own time, for
this is part of his years work. He
cannot accept extra compensa-
ton for completing his affairs in
workmanlike manner. ....,.
There has been much improve
ment in the schools during the past
year and much to be grateful for.
Wages seem to be increasing slight
ly. An effort should be made to Sc
cure the best trained teachers pos
sible. If it is necessary to retain
teachers who are not technically
trained inducement should be offered
for them to attend school during the
summer"
