duly accepted. A large portion OF the
session was taken up with the dis
cussion of the newly proposed amend
ment to the constitution taking off all
limit to the term of office of presl-
dent, and the election of officers.
Mrs Abbott paid an appreciation to
the late Mrs. Catherine Chapman H1g-
gins, who was president of the Ma
tional Congress of Parents and Teach
ers. and suggested the founding of an
endowment for the State association
to be known as the Catherine Chapman
Higgins Endowment.
The new president, Mrs. Small, Is
now a substitute teacher in the Vest
brook schools, where she has taught
for three years. She is graduate OF
Thornton Academy in Saco and OF
Gorham Normal School, graduating
from the latter in 1907. She has two
children, who are pupils in the West
brook schools.
A hearty vote Of thanks was ex-
tended to Mrs. Abbott, who as presi-
dent of the association since it's organ
ization Is responsible in no small
measure for it's success. Her work
as president has taken her to all parts
of the state and she has given much
of her time to visits to the various
locals composing the State organiza-
tion.
Following the election of officers
Mrs. Abbott handed the gavel to the
new president, Mrs. Small, congratu-
lated her and wished her success in
her new office. Mrs. Small responded
with a brief address in which she
pledged her best efforts for the sue
cess of the association during her ad-
miniStration.

30 DEGREES DROP
IN TEMPERATURE
WITHIN few HOURS

To the intervention of Divine
Providence is attributed by many
the remarkable change in tempera-
ture which took place over Saturday
night. Coming as it did after four
days of extreme and Oppressive heat,
which resulted in other parts of the
New England states In heat pros
trations and even death and which
in this section of Maine was almost
unbearable, it was very welcome in
deed.
Saturday, the fourth consecutive
day of high temperature and little
breeze, was even hotter than were
the three preceding ones. with a.
mrcury of 80 to 96. Life in the city
or in the country was most uncom-
Portable, the stiffness of the air
serving to accentuate the heat of
the sun.
To those who were so unfortunate
as to be obliged to continue at their
daily duties in shop or office Satur-
day was probably the hardest day
that they will have this summer. 1t
was impossible to dress in manner
befitting the temperature. and work
of any kind, no matter how light,
was an arduous task.
In this city this continued until
late in the evening when a heavy
shower, with an accompaniment OF
vivid lightning and some little thun-
der cooled off the scorching pave
ments and lowered the temperature
so that those nearly exhausted by
the heat and work of the day were
able to refresh themselves by un-
troubled sleep.
H. ~ AnA a
o'clock in the evening, a heavy
wind storm lasting for three or four
minutes, accompanied by a very lit
tie rain, hit the city. The wind
caused damage on the Judge Ian
caster place on South Chestnut
street, taking two immense trees out
of a group of such trees and laying
them down fat, as well as crushing
in a portion of the roof of the barn.
so that the beams of the frame
stuck out through the part that was
forced down.
In towns to the north and west OF
Augusta the wind storm which came
a few minutes earlier. was OF longer
duration and caused much more
damage. In Vassalboro along the
portion situated near Webber Pond
the high wind lasted for Is or ~
minutes and was accompanied by
veritable deluge Of rain. A summer
resident there declared that he had
never seen Webber pond so iashed
by the wind as it was at that time.
Trees in that part Of the town
were uprooted and movable objects
were buffeted about by the force of
the wind. In one or two places build
ings were shifted about and barn
doors were blown down. The wind
and the heavy rain which fell, smash
ed down flower beds, although it
came too early to do much damage
to crops In spite of the violent rain,
the atmosphere was not appreciably
colled off and 1t was not until late in
the evening that the oppressive heat
was tempered and the thermometer
began to drop.
Showers continued at intervals for
portion of the night and Sunday
morning went to the other extreme,

An exhibit of school work Of more
than usual interest is that done by
a special class at the Webster
school. In this class which was
formed about two years ago, are
placed those students of IA and IL
years of age who are very backward
in their studies and who will un-
doubtedly never graduate from
grammar school.
Realizing the necessity of teaching
them something useful and knowing
well that the ordinary school studies
would not meet the requirements,
these students were placed in this
special class and a different course
of studies was prescribed for them.
This keeps them interested and at
the same time avoids the slowing
down of the regular classes.
They are given special instruction
along the line of particular studies In
which they are deficient and special
stress is laid upon hand work rather
than upon book work.
The exhibition of the class is PROOF
of the value of the work which they
have been given to do. The girls
have contributed articles of needle
work, we'll made and practical. These
include bloomers, nightgowns. che
misses and other articles which are OF

Legion Auxiliary
To Campaign for
New Members

The members of the James Fitz-
gerald post, American Legion Aux
iliary will today launch an intensive
campaign for new members in an
effort to win the silver trophy cup,
which has been offered by the de-
partment headquarters to the unit
which adds the largest number of
new members to the rolls during the
Statewide campaign.
A committee under the chairman
ship of Mrs. Henrietta Greenlaw will
thoroughly canvas Augusta for ell
gible members. The city will be
divided into sections and the several
members of the general committee
will be assigned by words The
present membership of the Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary is about 100,
and it is expected that this number
will be doubled as result of the In
tensive effort during this week.

real value. The boys have done bas-
ket work, turning out some very fine
waste baskets and have also made
covered boxes for various purposes.
An example of the manner in
which they work was cited by their
teacher, Mrs. Jessie White. Some
time ago cloth was procured with
which to make curtain for a book
case. The cloth was of figured de-
sign, the central theme of which was
a flower. At that time it was de-
cided to put in attractive window
curtains and to carry out the scheme
of decoration suggested by the book
case curtain. Accordingly while the
girls were making the curtains the
boys drew and cut stencils with a
design to match the flowers of the
book case curtain and these stencils
were then used to ornament the
window curtains.
In addition to this work each child
is expected to write an article each
week, as part of the English work.
This article is graded and is then
turned over to the class weekly
newspaper" In this way the men,
bers of the class attain an added
interest in their English work and
~ great has DGSu llOlcQ.
While the interest in the work Of
this class is especially keen because
of the kind of pupils who make up
the class, the work of the other
classes of the school is also note
worthy. The young pupils co~nris-
ing the second and third grades, a
combined class under Miss Maude
Stickney, have attempted with great

picture depicting Japan" This pic
ture which is in colors Is about four
feet by three and a half feet and is
very attractive.
The combined fourth and fifth
grades of which Miss Rita Torrey
is the teacher has prepared a series
of posters showing the type of
homes customarily seen in various
lands. There is also a series show
ing the great inventions which have
been made and a series of safety first
posters.
In the sixth grade Miss Carolyn
Tracy has assisted her class to make
large ornamental waste baskets with
original designs, safety first posters.
and a History Of Maine" by each
pupil. The last is most interesting,
the cover being in the shape of the
map of the State of Maine, and con-
tains beside the history of the State,
a descriptive list of industries and
products.
The ability of. these pupils is sur
prising and the exhibits of the var
ious classes are of a high order of
merit. The exhibits are attracting
considerable attention and visitors
are always welcomed at the school
to see the fine work which the pupils
are doing.

Bull Moose Seeks
Shelter in Barn
At Mount Vernon

A yearling bull moose which has
been wandering around in West
Mount Vernon and has little fear of
human beings, occasioned a visit by
Chief Game Warden Richard ]. Up
ton, to the Doliff Farm, occupied by
W., M. Webber, on Saturday The
moose has been seen in Fayette as
well, and at both places was so tame
that people were able to get pictures
Of him.
The moose had walked about the
buildings on the Doliff farm for a
short time and when Mr.. Webber
opened the barn door, the animal
entered. He. was kept, there until
Warden Upton could get there to ex-
anime him.
1t was quite evident that the moose
was sick and probably tubercular. He
was very thin and weak and his eyes
were in bad shape. He would not
eat or drink although the warden
tried to get him to do so and he
seemed to be contented to stay in
the barn.
Warden Upton assisted by War
dens Alexander and Jones examined
him closely to see If he had been
shot or If dogs had been bothering
him. Apparently neither was the
ease and although there was dog
about the farm the moose was not
frightened by him.
Arrangements have been made to
give him lodging in the barn for sew
eral days, although If he shows any
indication of a desire to leave and
return to the woods he will be al
lowed to do so. On Sunday Warden
Henry Thyng was on duty at the
farm to see that the curious people
who viewed the animal did not dis
turb him, as it is felt that a rest
may do him world of good.
It is though that there may be
possibility that the moose was raised
in captivity as he is so tame and
any information with regard to him
will be gladly received by the De-
partment Of Inland Fish and Game.
