70 become leaders in this highly i'm
portant work.
The work of the new course will
include English, mathematics and
history in common with other
courses. It will also include a study
attention to shop work. The idea
Of shop work is not to develop a
trade school, as that term is COM
monty used, but to be a practical IL
hstration of the theories and sub
jects studied 1t will also show the
very close and very honorable con-
nection which should exist between
those whose tasks are mainly those
Of the head, and those who correlate
the hands with the head. The course
will have tendency to keep the stu

positive connection between his
school work and the job to which he
is looking. When he graduates he
will feel that he has completed q
worth while course, and if he decides
10 continue technical work in college,
he will be prepared to do so.
Many men connected with our in
dustrial enterprises in Maine have
thoroughly approved the course, and
say It will meet a very real need in
the lives Of many Of our boys.
Coburn is we'll located to under,

plants in New England are located
in Waterville and vicinity. The
school is well equipped with library
facilities and laboratories for work

wood working.
With this addition to the other

Heavily Laden
Truck Overturns
on Railroad Track

A Ford truck loaded with twenty
four bale of shoddy tipped over yes
terday morning on the railroad
tracks at the Temple street. holding
up freight train for a few minutes,
and making it necessary to flag the
7:40 express. The truck was on its
way to the shoddy mill in Fairfield
when the accident occurred. The
many heavy bales piled one upon an
other rendered the car top heavy. and
the wheels dropping into slight de-
preston caused it to lurch and tip.
Five men who were present quickly
righted the car, and the bales were
hurriedly removed from the track.
The freight train which was held up
found it necessary to back up sever
al hundred yards toward Winslow in
order to get momentum sufficient to
make the grade which is quite sharp
at this point. The driver of the truck
came out uninjured.
