Governor Tells Alumni
(Continued from PAGE Eisht)

For a quarter of a century this pur-
pose predominated. Public eX-
penditures particularly by the State
were still at the comparatively low
level that had prevailed since
Colonial days. The existence and ac-
tivities of the State were still things
Of very little consequence in the life
of the average citizen of Maine.
A Contrast
In 1905 the State appropriated $12,-
900 for this institution with an en-
rollment of 554. In 1925 the State
appropriated 100000 with an enroll
ment Of 1,441. While the number of
students was trebling the appropria-
ton of the State was being multi
piled by thirty-five. From the
standpoint of the State the per
capita student appropriation in 1905
was $22. In 1925 1t was s275, with
1000 additional students at this
very greatly increased cost. This in
dicates sufficiently the transforma-
ton of the last two decades.
There are 1866 boys and girls in
the State between the ages of six
teen and twenty. Approximately 49,
900 of these have received high
the University was founded there
were practically no high schools in
the State. Today there are 200 free
high schools in the State with an en-
rollment of $4,000 pupils. AS the
material wealth of our citizens has
accumulated through the develop
ment of our natural resources and
through the labor-saving inventions
Of modern life, Maine has evidently
decided to make high-school educa-
ton available for every boy and girl
who is willing to learn. This costs
our citizens approximately $1,000. 900
each year. Doubt is rarely expressed
today but that this money is we'll
spent.
The high-school education in early
days was primarily cultural rather
than unitarian and it Is only in
