Kind Words for
Com. ViOlette

The Bangor Commercial recently
contained the following editorial in
relation to the work of Forest Com
missioner Neil l.. Violette:
Names State forest commissioner.
Neil i. Violette, who is most capa-
Bile and efficient official. has recently
issued a series of fluctuations show
ing that in the various sections of
the Maine Forestry District, the year
just closed. 1925, compares most IA
vorably with any year of the decade
preceding in the value and extent of
fire prevention measures adopted,
the net favorable result of which
appears in a marked shrinkage of
actual fire losses in the forests of
the district.
No small share of this gratifying
result is due to the unfla gging zeal
and untiring efforts of Commissioner
Violette. whose enthusiasm inspires
confident and energetic cooperation
on the part of everyone in any way
connected with the work of his i'm
portant department. The actual fig
ures of fire losses Of S14,05S for 1925
compare with $1019 for 1924,
$3.50, 645 for 1923, and $1O6,OO1 for
1922, with much higher losses not
lnfrequently shown in earlier years.
This would appear sufficiently to
emphasize the value of the supervi-
sion of Commissioner Violette.

STATE HOUSE
Meeting Tuesday &C. at 10 NJ

DR.. Augustus o. Thomas, State
commissioner of education, in a
statement last night says that the
trouble in the high school at York
where the principal, A. E. Skillings,
was dismissed because of alleged
practices with some of his boy stu
dents, seems to be adjusted with as
little damage as could be expected
to come out of such a situation.
DR.. Thomas announced the ap-
pointment of w. C. McCue as school
agent for the town of York. Mr.. Nc
Cabe is at present superintendent of
the school union consisting of Ber-
wick, South Berwick and Eliot, hav-
ing at present SO schools under his
jurisdiction. He will be given suf-
ficient assistance to enable him to
properly attend to his additional
duties
Mr.. Fish, assistant principal Of the
York High school, and the other
teachers, although handicapped by
being short one teacher, are getting
along nicely. in the opinion of Com
missioner Thomas. The names Of
several persons are now under con-
sideration for the principalship by
the school committee and with Mr..
McCabe's assistance will select some
one for the position soon. Mr.. Nc
Cue will visit York today for the pur-
pose of comforting with the members
Of the committee.
Merlin T. Goodrich, the York SUI
perintendent, who asked for the dis
missal of Principal Skillings, is al
ready installed as agent for the town
of Kittery.
1T is my judgment that Mr.. Good
rich was doing his duty as he saw
it," said Commissioner Thomas last
night.
''He was making an attempt to
protect the young people of the high
Tschool from what he considered I'M
toward influences. continues DR..
Thomas in his statement.
Had he not taken note Of the
situation he would have been dere-
| lict in his duty as superintendent. In
cases such as confronted him it Is diff
| ficult to know how to proceed and
| mistakes are easy. The principal of
! the high school had the confidence of
the people who were unwilling to be-
| lieve any ill of him. Such confidence,
| until guilt is proven, is commenda-
! BILE on the part of the people.
| "The people of York are to be
| commended for settling down to re-
store the peace and progress of the
| school,"
