this kind are extended, record
should be kept of the visitors SO that
it would be possible for us to check
up at the close of the week and see
how many patrons visit our schools.
Where this is done, 1 should like to
have a report sent to this office.
Some of the best results in years
past have come through holding
night sessions of the schools and
inviting the people in. Glasses in
shop and laboratory as well as the
regular recitations have interested
many citizens. They see the children
actually at their tasks and learn how
they perform, how the schoolroom
movements are conducted and some
thing of the influences which sur
round the children in school. This
is always beneficial.
LET me close by wishing you a
pleasant and prosperous year with
increasing efficiency in all your edu-
cational enterprises"
"P. S. November l, 1926. The
lateness of this dispatch is greatly
regretted, but work has been carried
on for so many years that superin-
tendents and teachers are doubtless
quite familiar with the fields best
calculated to bring results and no
doubt have already arranged their
programs"

Meeting of State Boys
Conference To Be Held
Bangor. Dec. 10-11-12 =

The preliminary steps for the hold
ing of the 1926 Boys Conference at
Bangor on December 10, IL, and ~,
have been completed by the State ex-
ecutive committee and the directors of
the Bangor Associa ton. The advance
notice which Is being sent to the Sun
day school superintendent and pas
tors of the State, indicates the pro-
gram for this conference Is going to
be one of the strongest ever offered in
Maine by the State executive commit
tee.
Two men of National reputation,
Fred B. Smith of New York City, and
Rev. Henry Crane of Maiden, Mass,
have been secured as the chief speak
ers.
The purpose of this conference is to
bring together the representatives of
the Boys organizations in Maine for
an Interchange of ideas on their work.
To give them the opportunity of hear
ing some of the great authorities in
North America on the various phases
OF Boys work. To create a State
spirit of good fellowship among the
Christian boys of the State. To give
inspiration and incentive to every boy
to live up to the standard of manhood
as exemplified by Jesus Christ. To
train them for future leadership in
positions of responsibility which they
soon must assume, believing that the
destiny of Maine in all human prob
ability will be determined in very
large measure by the motives which
control these boys.
A local committee is arranging for
sight seeing excursions and athletic
sports on Saturday afternoon. Oppor-
tunity will be given to visit many

BELFAST

Given good weather there should be
upwards of 700 men and women of the
interior towns and farming commun-
tiles gathered in Belfast on Wednes-
day when the 18th annual meeting Of
the Waldo County Farm Bureau
opened in American Legion Hall, this
city at II o'clock. This attendance is
based not only upon that of previous
meetings but on the fact that it Is ex-
pected that when the roll call is made
that the membership solicitors will
report at least 100 members enrolled
for the year. There have been 220
solicitors at work on this committee
and big results are expected.

DR.. Thomas Sends
Out Word ON Coming
Of Education Week

Education Week has become so
much of an institution since it's pro-
motion by the National Education
Association and the American Legion
that 1t seems hardly necessary to
send out suggestions in regard to its
observance" says DIR. Augustus O..
Thomas, State commissioner of edu-
cation, in letters being sent out to
local school superintendents In the
State. Il am, therefore, merely call
ing your attention to the fact that
Education Week begins Sunday,
November Z and has for its motive
the usual classification.
"Sunday-For God and Country
Day. Monday-Constituti Rights.
Tuesday-Patriotism Wednesday,
Equal Opportunity. Thursday
Armistice Day. Friday-Know Your
School. Saturday--Community Day.
THE real purpose of the week is
not only to inculcate the spiritual
and ethical values suggested by the
above topics but to acquaint the
people with the work being done and
to secure sympathetic cooperation on
their part. 1t Is suggested that
churches, chambers of commerce,
women's organizations, fraternal
bodies and all other agencies become
interested in the schools during this
week and in their meetings give
some emphasis to education.
1.-THE newspapers of Maine have
been most cordial in their support
of legitimate educational enterprises
and have given unusal publicity to
educational matters. School people,
therefore, ought to be grateful for
this cooperation and the spirit of
helpfulness which the newspapers
have manifested in the past. Hand
whatever programs you may have
or announcements to your local pa
pers and send them to the dailies
which circulate in your community
and so give the people full informa-
ton. Advertising is just as desirable
in educational affairs as in CONNER
cial. A well-informed people are
generally more cooperative while a
half informed or misinformed people
are generally on the other side.
Il would suggest that wherever
possible displays of school work be
exhibited, that opening exercises in
the schools be conducted along the
lines suggested in the several topics
and that invitation be extended to
the people to attend the usual pro-
gram of the school and to see what
is being done. Where invitations of

JOICE
Kings Daughters Delightfully."-
Entertained

The Helping Hand Circle, Kings
Daughters, of Joice and Pittston, were
delightfully."- entertained on Thursday
at the home of Mrs. Mary Clark. Mrs.
Clark's daughters, Mrs. Ruby McLane
and Mrs. Helen Malcolm acted as as
sistant hostesses This was an all-day
meeting and there was a large attend
ance. Nearly all present were attired
in quaint old-fashioned apparel as had
been requested, and the great variety
of styles from the distant past caused
much interest and merriment; also car
rying the ina gination and memory back
many years. Tho it was difficult to de-
eide during the course of the meet
ing which costume was most quaint,
the Circle noted that Mrs. Selena Hill
dreth should receive the prize: her
costume represented a style that was
in vogue nearly half a century ago.
and was indeed most strillingly diff
ferent from the styles of our present
day, as also We're all other costumes
seen at this meeting.
The home was attractively decorat-
ed with garlands of purple and white,
the colors of the order. At noon the
hostesses served delicious chicken
dinner, which was much enjoyed by
all.
AT o'clock the president, Mrs. Nell

Military Group
All Set for Onslaught
Against Deer Horde

Complete plans regarding the
military operations which COM
menced yesterday In the Mount Alb
ram region, have been furnished by
Master Sergeant Elliott Goodwin,
who is acting intelligence officer of
the campaign against the deer and
bear of that region.
1.-THE party took with them hand
grenades, tear gas, smoke bombs,
flares, and other implements of
modern warfare" he said. 1.-THE
smoke bombs and flares will be used
to regain communication with the
camp in case members of the party
become lost, and the tear gas will be
handy in case anyone in the bunch
runs into a bear"
1t was learned yesterday that
Lieut.-Col. William Goodwin took
with him a large jug of molasses,
with which he intends to ensnare the
affections of the bear he claims he
has lost. Lieut.. Col. Charles Saw
age, who went to Mount Abram on
Sunday with the party, returned
Monday and announced that he was
sent back to get the gun carriage on
which Lieut.-Col. Goodwin's 45-7O
will be mounted, as the gun is far
too heavy to be carried in the usual
manner. you should see the trees
dodge when 'Bilr pulls the lanyard
of that old cannon" declared the
sergeant admiringly.
Adjutant General James w. Han
son, his brother, Percy Hanson of
Belgrade, Capt. Robert Addington,
Col. Savage and Col. Goodwin, Major
Roy E. Decker and Lieut.. Robert
