Sunday Health
Talks Subject of
Favorable Comment

A great deal of favorable comment
has been heard on all sides in re-
gard to the Sunday afternoon health
lectures being held at the Sisters
hospital his winter. That people are
looking forward to them is evident
from the interest manifested in each
coming meeting. Apparently they
are filling need in Waterville.
While the city has long been an edu-
cational center offering many oppor-
tunitiees for cultural advancement,
little has hitherto been done along
the lines of health education. The
crowded lecture hall at the hospital
the last two Sundays testifies to the
popularity of this movement.
Some different phase Of Medicine is
ta!- n up each Sunday. After a talk
on the subject of the day by the
speaker, opportunity is Fiven for
questions to be asked and answered.
Owing to the fact that some people
are perhaps a little Giffident in ask
ing questions which they desire an
swered, beginning next Sunday, they
ma write their questions on slips of
paper which will be passed in and
considered by the speaker after the
lecture.
given over to the subject of eyes and
their care. The topic as announced
will be THE Preservation of Vision"
and the speaker will be DIR. Howard
F. Hill. This subject should be one
of great interest to a great many
people. for the majority of persons
nowadays seem to be afflicted with
weak eyes. Possibly our present day
civilization with its rapidity of liv-
ing and it's strain upon the nervous
system, may be responsible. I'm
! doubt ,dly the popularity of the auto
mobile and the moving pictures may
. have something to do with it. At
I any rate, it is a question which con-
| Germs most people and should merit
serious consideration. 1t is hoped
that there will be a large number of
students present next Sund"-- as il
is felt that these young people who
necessarily use their eyes great
deal may get information which
should prove of great Waite. The
meeting will start at 3 O'Clock.

Enrolment i'm HiSfOry

Since Winslow High schools earli-
est days no record of attendance has
ever equalled the one that the school
boasts now. There are 124 pupils
registered and the new students this
term seem to like their new school
very much indeed. A debating class
is being conducted three nights a
week, which is alternated by Mr.. Ma
comber and Mr.. Russell. Those
chosen for this class are showing
great aptitude for the work and a
public debate will be held sometime
in the near future. Although the
subject of the debate is not definite
ly known. 1t is expected that the
question will be: Resolved, That the
State of Maine Accept the Proposed
Amendment to the Child Labor
Law" Mr.. Macomber is very we'll
fitted to coach this debating class
as he was intercollegiate debater for
Colby last year, and Mr.. Russell,
principal of the high school, is a
debater of note also. Those in the
class are Viola Blake, Alma Gid
den. Ruth Dow, Franco Maggazani,
Helen Lane, Sanford Reynolds Law
renee Cole, Benny Wood, and Ken
meth Hapworth. Several of these
students were in debate held last
year ana with the skilled coaching
this class is to have it should make
good showing in the future debate.

Minor Fire

An alarm was rung in about s
o'clock Tuesday morning for a fire at
the farm buildings of Fred Brooks,
located about three miles from the VIII
lage. Chief Ray Badger and a crew of
firemen made a quick trip to the
Brooks farm with the chemical engine
and succeeded in subduing the blaze
before any great damage had been
done. 1t was thought the damage
might reach around $780, The fire
caught probably from a spark from
the chimney and damage was done to
floors and nearby partitions. It was
very lucky stop and this fire clearly
demonstrated the value of a piece of
fire equipment of this kind to the
