Of Teachers Service

A meeting was held with DR.. Au-
gustus o. Thomas, State commits
sioner of education, yesterday, by a
special committee from the Maine
Teachers Association to consider
the question of certain proposed
changes in the State tenure of SER
vice act. There was a discussion of
possible changes in certain features
in the act which would protect the
community in the securing Of well
prepared teachers and not make it
difficult for a community to relieve
q teacher who was not progressing
satisfactorily. The idea would be TO
adapt the law to the new working
conditions and raise the dignity OF
the teaching profession.
Members of the committee from
the association comforting with Com
missioner Thomas on the matter
were: Chairman, Supt. c. e. Glover
of Waterville, Supt. J. V. Thompson
Of Lisbon Falls, Principal c. E. Tay-

Bismarck's Best
Cigar Was One He
Had Never Smoked

Berlin, Dec 17.--[4D-"The cigar
l never smoked was the one that
tasted best" was Fuerst Bismarck's
invariable reply in his later years
to the question Of what brand he
most esteemed.
Norris Busch. in his book on the
life Of the Iron Chancellor, recalls
this enigmatic reply and the explana-
ton taken from an incident Bismarck
himself related after the Battle of
koeniggraetz in the AutsrO- Prussian
War Of 1866.
II had only one cigar in my pocket
and was chcrishing its smoke like a
miser,' said Bismarck. "But l mis-
calculated, for lying helpless nearby
! saw a wounded dragon begging
for refrcshmcnt. I looked through
all my pockets. Money? OF course
that would do him no good, Stop!
! still had my cigar. l lighted it.,
put it between the teeth of the un-
fortunate man, and at once could see
his face beam with thankfulness."
