Would Penalize Pupils.

Mr.. Wilkinsons attitude is that the
most effective means Of ending the
strike Is to impress upon the students
and their parents Of the loss Of their
scholastic standing through their
loyalty to Capt. Newman.
With this in mind. Mr.. Wilkinson
today issued the following statement:
This Office has been advised Of q
student strike at the Armstrong
Technical High School.
The Armstrong School will not be
closed. 1t will remain open for all
who have right to attend there.
Glasses will be conducted as usual.
Whatever the grievance of these
pupils. it is the opinion of the first
assistant superintendent in charge of
colored schools that they should i'm
medi2teiy return to school. then for
ward their written complaint or re-
quest to this Office for administration.
This Office takes advantage Of this
opportunity to notify parents that
many Of these children are absent
from school in violation Of the COM
pulsory school attendance law, and
that all Of them are losing instruction
that IS vital to their promotion and
graduation

Reviews Entire Case.

In another statement issued today.
Mr.. Wilkinson reviews the reasons
actuating the recommendation for
Capt. Newman S demotion. It follows:
The recommendation Of the first
assistant superintendent in charge Of
colored schools was based upon a
study initiated because Of numerous
complaints from members Of the
school administration, from members
Of the faculty Of the Armstrong Tech
meal High School and from the public
itself. This study was made by the
first assistant superintendent in charge
of colored schools personally and eI-
tended over a period Of many months.
THE first assistant superintendent
in charge OF colored schools, as a re-
suit Of his long study Of the conditions
at Armstrong. concluded:
Il. That the administration OF the
Armstrong Technical High Shcool was
unsatisfactory In regard to its bust
ness management;
"2. That it was unsatisfactory in
regard to the matter Of school dis.
cipline: and
20. That is was unsatisfactory in
regard to educational administration"

Great Britain are starving Three
fourths of a million women are pass
ing through a most narrowing ex-
perience because their husbands,
fathers, brothers and sons have been
locked out. For it is lockout and
not a strike.
This is the pitiful message brought
to America by the representatives of
the English labor movement who
came to this country to appeal for
funds to protect the miners in their
struggle against an inhuman reduc-
tion of wages and lengthening of the
workday.
1t is pitiful story they tell. Many
pieces of furniture in the homes of
the miners have been sold to obtain
food. Even the beds and bedding have
been sold. 1t is estimated that 100000
homes have been stripped of beds upon
which to sleep. Thousands of baby
carriages have gone for food.
Tens of thousands of children have
been sent to other parts of the coun-
try to live in families who themselves
have not sufficient for their own. 1t
is case of the poor helping the poor.
AS the strike continues thousands
of workmen in other occupations con-
tinue to be laid off because of lack
of coal. At the present time there are
three million unemployed, counting
the one million miners, and three mill
lion others work only part time. For

Honor to Those Who
Gro,u Old Gracefully

Everywhere about us are to be OBJ
served young and middle-aged men and
women who painfully exhibit the i'm
minence Of age and its infirmities.
They present sorry spectacles. They
excite our wonder. but they inspire no
emotion of sympathy within us. They
have bowed to the Indictment of age
without presenting any defense. They
become old in fact while yet the years
of age are far from them. They have
not the will to live life as it should be
lived They have permitted the spirit
Of youth to atrophy within them.
How altogether inspiring and en-
couraging is it to consider those who
have learned chow to grow old grace
fully" how to keep in touch with the
tides Of life, functioning constructively
winning from existence the priceless
boon of contentment by an answering
devotion to rational living, that living
which is based upon rational and con-
structive work.
Pity the wretched old young men
they are the pathetic flotsam OF this
rushing age.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

SEDGWICK LIBRARY.

When the Sedgwick Library AS
ISOLATION was first organized in
1854, the only idea of it's members
people of the town. But, as time
passed, there came a desire among
the women to have a building for
the books, to be known as "The
Sedgwick Library" This was, how
ever, only desire, talked over from
time to time, then passed along to
the next generation. New interests
claimed their attention.
Seventy years passed. New books
were added to the library, and al
ways the same desire was expressed
to own a building for the books, but
no door was opened for its fulhll-
ment. At one time small sum
was donated for this purpose, but
it did not increase. The member
ship grew smaller, and always there
has been a home open to receive the
books, so the desire did not become
necessity until this spring.
A small building has been pur-
chased and moved to the Corner lot
in the village, which is owned by

need repairs and furnishing before
if can be used. To this end, the
cooperation of everyone is being
asked, as the work to be done de-
ponds upon donations.
This is only beginning, which
it is hoped will. grow to proportions
equal to the enterprise OF it's loyal
members to perpetuate the memory
of it's early founders, to be an
honor to the town, and worthy OIL
it's name, the Sedgwick Library.
The present officers of the society
are Mrs. Lille c. Smith, president;
Mrs. Virgelia Smith, yice-presldent
and librarian; Miss Blanche Friend
secretary; Mrs. Minnie Dority'
treasurer. This appeal for dona-
tions has been sent out by them, and

This Boost Maine campaign that

This should prove to us that in other
lines of business, it must pay to ad-

When 1 mention the political stu

politics. But when we realize that
