ENDOWMENT FUND.
An Open Letter from Mayor HOdg-
kins. Local Chairman.
Ellsworth, Me-, June Is, 1925.

Ellsworth, Me-, June 10, 1879.
To the Editor of The American:
The current week begins drive
in Hancock county for our proper
tional part of the endowment fund
for disabled men and the orphans Of
veterans now being raised by the
American Legion.
If we stop to consider that hardly
family of the allies outside of the
United States but is mourning the
loss of one or more of its members,
a money contribution to persons still
living, but in need, is not, for
moment, comparable to the pensions
which other countries are paying be-
cause of their dead, and our owed
assistance to our living small affair
as against those countries heart
aches and anguish because of their
lost ones.
Hancock county is one of the few
If not the only-county in the
United States which furnished more
than its quota under the draft. Let
us remember this, and take as great
pride in succoring these worthy
RECIPIENTS as we did in providing
them in the beginning.
Moreover, the local post especially
deserves our cooperation, because
of the help it has given us in our
city endeavors, its latest aid being
the proffer of twenty men twice
week to work on the contemplated
park and childrens playground.
So, let us, out of city pride, and
in return for past and future favors,
If not from any higher motive, help
these boys, who not so long ago,
even to the sacrifice of their lives,
helped us, so that they can proudly
hold up their heads and say to all
men: THE Legion, and Hancock
county have once more gone over the
top"

Chairman.

Improve Pond Spring.
Ellsworth, June 5, 1925.


To the Editor OF The American:
This plan to Clean up and Beauti-
fly Maine" as part Of the program to
attract tourists, reminds me OF lit
tie matter in which every citizen OF
Ellsworth should be interested.
About a half mile from postofflce
square, on the Falls road, is the
famous pond spring This spring,
scooped out by the Indians and used
by them ages before the coming OF
the white man, became, in or about
the year 1900, the property OF Major
Sabin Pond, who owned a large
tract of land and buildings in the vi
entity of the sprinS. A road lad out
and running through to Bangor IN
the month of June, 1929, brought
this spring within the limits of the
street, and it became the property
of the town of Ellsworth.
This spring is, to-day, in filthy
condition. The slaves of the old
cask are rotting and falling in, the
sides and bottom are covered with a
foul growth, and in its present con-
dition it is a menace to the health of
the community at large. | note that
horses are often watered directly
from the spring, in spite of the fact
that a pail owned by the S. P. c. A.
hangs nearby.
AS this spring is used by hundreds
Of tourists as we'll as townspeople, it
seems to be the duty of the city
either to fill up the spring, or erect a
concrete cask with closed top, that

served man and beast so long and so

SCHOOL PHYSICAL
TESTS ARE URGED
Bureau of Education Points
Out Dangers of Some
Child MaIadieS.

With the day when the public schools
will be opened only three weeks off,
n concerted campaign is being waged
by the United States Bureau of Edu-
cation and the National Congress Of
Parents and Teachers to have children
about To enter their first claSsroomS
examined to determine whether they
are physically rs we'll as mentally
equipped To begin their school life.
Throughout the country this health
crusade is being pushed under the
explanatory title of the "Pre-School
Age Health Campaign" Mrs. G. w.
Lady is chairman for the District of
Columbia and has opened headquar-
ters at 5l4 B street northeast. There
she will be glad 10 meet parents and
teachers and assist them in every way
possible.
Equal Chance for All.
The sole object of the drive is to
make sure that every child entering
school is 100 per cent physically per-
feet, so that each pupil will have an
equal chance in the classroom. Al
though this ideal applies TO boys and
girls OF all ages. il is being especially
stressed where children are beginning
their careers in the primary grades.
Statistics have shown, il is said
that more children have to repeat the
first grade than any other. 1nVeStiga-
tion has disclosed that much of the
failure in the initial year has been
directly due to physical weakness
that should have been corrected be-
fore the child was called upon to
stand the test of its first few months
In school.
Children should especially be ex-
amined for defective eyesight, defec-
ND tnr
sils. and the pressure of adenoids,"
Mrs. Lady declared. They should
also be taught to eat wholesome.
nutritious food instead of an excess
of confectionery and dainties. Glasses
are often needed long before the need
is discovered.
Physical Ills Serious.
Children are often blamed for in
attentiveness in the schoolroom
when the real cause is defective hear
ing. Teeth should be examined pc
riodically. After a tooth begins to
ache much of the damage already has
been done. Diseased tonSils are a con-
stant well Of poison to the whole
system, the direct cause of rheuma-
tism and heart trouble.
The pressure of adenOids causes
mouth breathing and results in a null
ttude OF troubles, some of which
affect unfavorably not only the ply
sical health but the mental health
of the child. Plenty of sleep is an
other essential TO children. The
child who has not had enough sleep
cannot be bright and alert in the
schoolroom. 1t is handicapped from
the start"
These are only some of the failings
the PreSchool Age Health Crusade
would have parents correct in their
children before they enter school, so
all will have the same chance for
success in their work. In some places
where the campaign has been waged
it has been found that the number
of children repeating the first grade
has been reduced 26 per cent.

Fights Permit Office Removal.

Senator Lenroot Of Wisconsin came
to Washington yesterday to protest
against the removal of the prohi-
bition permit Office from Milwaukee.
He told prohibition officials that the
removal, which was understood to be
involved In the recent reorganization
of the district, would materially affect
industry In the State, and would not,
in his opinion, contribute to a more
effective administration Of the proili-
bition law
