THREE MORE REGISTERED
 MAILS TO LEAVE NOME

According to present plans of Postmaster M. A. Winkler, three more trips carrying registered mail will be made over the trail.
 The mail arriving last Tuesday afternoon was heavy one and all most entirely first class, owing to the fact that the connections of the previous week were such that no first class mail came through at that time

Tells Rotarians Junior High School
system Would Solve Present Problem

several others were normal school
students.
Quoting figures on what he termed
the tragedy of our public school sys-
tenn" the speaker impressed his
hearers with the extremely high
number of pupils who leave school at
the age of IS years. just when they
were in the seventh and eighth
grades and first year OF high school.
He declared that the junior high
school system was designed to supply
something of interest and of value
educationally which would hold these
students so that more would COM
plete the high school coul Sc. BY the
junior high plan, six years would be
given to grade or primary and ele-
mentary schooling. three i'll the jun
Tor high and three in the senior high
school. If this plan were put into
effect at the present time there would
be an enrolment of 46S in the junior
high and $50 in Cony.
Cony High School Congested
Cony high school was built to ac-
comodate about 400 pupils, Mr.. Hew-
ms told his audience, and at present
the school is SO congested that three
cloak rooms have been converted into
class rooms. The entire building is
poorly lighted and ventilated and is
entirely inadequate. He also declar-
ed that the whole system at present
is for an academic education. with
nothing provided for the manual and
physical training. The Junior high
school would provide scientific. aca-
demic and mechanical training at
one and the same time.
The speaker urged his hearers to
take the problem unto themselves, in
vestigate conditions in our schools
and particularly at Cony high and
when the time came be prepared to
take n progressive step in the inter-
tests of cur youth.
The members Of the Rotary club
We're most appreciative of the in
formative address by their fellow
member. and also eXpr Cssed their
pleasure for the splendid program Of
mu-->al selections which was render
cd by the Cony high school orchestra
There We're about a dozen guests
present at the meeting last evening.
President Arthur y. Soule an
nounced that the new DamariscOtta
club would observe charter night next
Wednesday evening when Rotarian
Rev. A. Francis Walch of the Au-
gusta Rotary club would be the main
speaker. The Damariscotta club was
organized after preliminary survey
by Rotarian A. w. Brooks Of the Au-
gusta club. Musical Director J.
Francis MacNichol was on duty last
evening and following the instru-
mental program by the school or
chestra the Rotarians and their
guests went into action superbly on
several of their chorus numbers.

Missionary to Talk
On French IndO-China
At Service Tonight

a most interesting feature has
BEEN planned for the meeting of the
eaangelistic series at the Congrega-
tional chapel this evening. Miss
Marion Foster Of Boston, who has
been the speaker at the meetings
during the past week and who has
had several years experience as a
missionary in foreign fields, will
wear an Amcnese costume and will
give talk on the living customs and
habits of the Amenese people.
Foster is fortunate in that
she has a saving sense of humor
[. which has stood her in good stead
even in the most trying of conditions
= and experiences of life. She had
Z some rather remarkable experiences
!. as a missionary to French Indo-
e China. She is a very interesting
: speaker and 1t Is expected that there
!. will be particularly large attend
J. ance- at the service this evening to
!. hear Miss Foster.
With two services Sunday, Miss
! Foster will close her services in this
|. city, an afternoon meeting at 3,
/. O'clock and an evening service at

will be at 7.30 and is under
the auspices of the Christian and

Presenting the inadequacies OF
the present buildings and equipment
of the Augusta school department
in a most interesting and compre-
hensive manner, Rotarian Frank
HeWins, chairman of the Augusta
Board of Education, told the Rota-
rians at the regular meeting of the
club held at the Augusta House, Fri
day evening. that new junior high
school building and the junior high
system of division OF the years of
public schooling was the logical So
luton of the problem of this city.
The talk by Mr.. Hewins was the
principal address at meeting which
had several notable features. The
banquet hall at the Augusta House
had been especially decorated for
"Cony" night by students of the do
nestle science department and Miss
Mabel Dugas, instructor, and the
Cony High School orchestra present
ed a splendid program of music dur
ing the luncheon session under the
direction of Gertrude Thorne. mu-
sic supervisor OF the Augusta schools
The Cony high colors Of red and
white We're prominently displayed
about the room with streamers
pendant from the light fixtures and
Cony banners and football blankets
draped on the walls.
Statistics on Growth OF Schools
The speaker prefaced his remarks
by quoting comparative figures on
tho school enrolment and the cost
of maintenance Of 1923 and 10 years
previously. In 1928 the enroll
ment In the public schools of Au-
gusta was 2073 and in 1923 it had
increased to 2424. The teachers
salaries in 1928 were about $40
600 as compared to some $119, 0CO 10
years later. The enrolment at Cony
high school increased from 344 in
1928 to 531 in 1923. and the rep
resentation per thousand inhabitants
in the high school was IS in 1921
as compared to Is in 1918. while the
cost of the educational system per
pupil was $S7 A in 1923 as compared
to $45.OS in 1913. There were a to-
tai Of 81 teachers employed in the
Augusta schools in 1913 and 81 in
1928, while the faculty of Cony high
was increased by seven instructors
from 13 in 1913 to 20 in 1928
Two Session PIap Proves Worth
In speaking Of the two session plan
which was put into effectiveness at
the high school last September. the
chairman Of the school board showed
how the plan had fully come up to the
expectations of its sponsors and had
discredited the objections of it's OPP
ponents. He showed how the two
session plan had bettered scholastic
standing and also that with the long
err school day the officials had re-
ceived about one third the usual
number Of requests for early dis
missal from attendance at school.
Mr.. Hewins told the Rotarians
something Of the very high standing
of Cony among the schools Of Maine
and told them that of the 102 mem
bers Of the graduating class of, 1924.

Don't Hunt Ducks
With BATTLESHIPS

Nor attack forts with pstos-not because
could not kill ducks with 12-nch gum for we could:
and not because could not take fort with pistols
for that concevable- because we try to fit our
means to our purposes-and in these instances we
would have rather conspicuous msfits.
In advertising we don't use page of space to
secure furnished roonl-nor an inch of space to fill
store with customers-not because the page ad
would not secure furnished room for it would: and
not because an inch of space could not draw store
full OF customers for that is conceivable offered
gold pieces to all but because we try to use
publicity in a rational way.
A merchant would not expect to lease or build
big store-buildng cheaply as a small one; but
it sometimes happens that he imagines he can keep
the big store full of buyers with the same expenditure
for publicity he would make for the smaller store
Nobody knows just why the merchant is ever seized
with this aberration-but unless he quickly throws
it off he finds himself taking the count" with the
sheriff holding the watch.
To fill big store, every business day. with
buyers is the same problem that of filing the
little store or the anysze-store the solution in any
case being adequate (suicien) publicity" and in
cldentay, no store had ths-and charm of store
keeping is partly in the fact that no one has vet
