Gardiner High
Principal Speaks
Before Forty Club

The regular meeting of the Forty
Club was held at American Legion
Hall Tuesday noon, the principal
speaker being G. e. Taylor of Gar
diner High School. Mr.. Taylor based
his talk on school work in general,
stating that the first school started
in 1647 when an order from the
court said that each town having 90
inhabitants was obliged to have a
teacher. In the last 10 years the
school attendance had increased 300
per cent, and that the cost of edu-
cation had increased $50 per cent
during that period. He told of the
method of character building which
Is being carried on in the public
schools of today, and stated that
each Friday morning a card was
given to each pupil with 10 requis-
ties of good character printed upon
them, the pupil was allowed to rank
himself according to his own best
Judgment. Mr.. Taylor had gone over
the cards carefully and found that
the boys and girls were not over
estimating their qualities. He also
spoke of the schools of tomorrow and
stated that whereas at the present
time all pupils were obliged to take
the same study in class he thought
that it would soon be so that the
individual pupil would receive far
greater attention.
Mr.. Taylor deplored the present
practice of many business men in
condemning a standard of education
of high school because one grad
uate was unable to fill proper niche
in the business world. The fact that
one graduate was unable to read or
write properly should not be blamed
upon his instructors, as often times
the individual was lacking in learn
ing capacity. Mr.. Taylor referred to
the fact of Massachusetts teacher
who found some ranked examination
papers of a half century ago. These
same questions were given to stud
ents of corresponding age, and the
modern scholars received on an aver
age 20 per cent better rank than the
earlier ones. Mr.. Taylor's address
was of particular value and his views
of education listened to with inter-
est by the Forty Club members.
The committee reported that the
bath house at the Oaks had been
painted at an expense to the club
of $40. The committee on the Mas
querade Ball reported the net pro-
ceeds to be S102.55.

Valuable Volume of
Early N. E. Journalism

One of the most valuable collec-
tons of specimens of early New
England journalism has been loaned
the Journal through the courtesy OF
Mrs. Swain Of the J. B. Hayes estate
in Randolph. This Is a bound VOL
ume containing the issues Of the
New England Farmer for the years
1924 and 25, the preface to the book
giving the title as "The New Eng
land Farmer, containing essays, ORR
ginal and selected relating to Agri-
culture and Domestic Economy with
Engravings, and the Prices of
Country Produce" Che editor of The
paper was Thomas G. Fessenden, and
the publishef William Nichols of
the Rogers Building, Congress street,
Boston. The original subscriber to
the papers in this volume was prob
ably Robert Hallowell Gardiner for
his name, with the traditional

Column after column of material
for each issue was taken from other
leading publications of the day such
as the Middlesex Observer the New
buryport Herald, the Montpelier
Waterman, the American Farmer,
the Burlington Sentinel, and govern
nSnC pdpefS. Information from the
editors pen regarding cattle diseases
were used in the same section with
comments on the European situa-
ton, while the following paragraph
might contain an excellent recipe
for making a home brewed wine.
These recipes would be read with
interest now, for just as one might
think that the concoction sounded
reasonable for a family drink would
be found the line, add 10 quarts of

The two most interesting items
listed in the provision market prices
were butter at from 4 to 10c the
pound and eggs from Is to tic the

was listed at 50 a barrel, and hay
was from SIG to $40 a ton. Beef was
listed at from to 10c a pound +:
pork, fresh, from to Sc, and veal
from to loo a pound. Poultry av-
eraged Toe a pound in 1923. The
best new apples brought from $3.50
to 50 in the market.

there was a heavy white frost that

able space was devoted to the re-
reports of awards of premiums at
fairs and reports of committees on
farmers problems. Some of the
home remedies offered would shock
any modern doctor, for the methods

Although there are no headlines
such as are found in modern papers,
one item is particularly featured,
that concerning a Methodist lady in
the South who shortly before death
left her slaves free upon condition of
their going to Africa, and directed
her administrator to furnish the
necessary means to defray all the ex-
penses of their transportation. Pro-
hibition tendencies as well as those
towards the abolition of slavery were
shown by the item deploring the aw
full effects of intemperance, quoting
that mans death occurred within
a few minutes of drinking nearly
three pints of whiskey.
The paper itself contained eight
pages of closely printed matter each
page being divided into three coll
ums and measured in width 8 1-2
inches or little over columns Of
the average modern newspaper. 1t
was II inches in length, the whole
being little over the size of a quar-
Ter portion of 1926 newspaper.
