CONCERNING EDUCATION. -By Ambrose Rohde. ‘‘The old definitions of education have been largely discarded to give place to the newer ideals of training the individual to do well the desirable things of life which he must do. This means training for worthy home membership, vocational skill, right use of leisure, ethical character, character and citizenship. We are getting our materials for education from entirely different sources than did the old school. We aie going out into life and finding the virtues which should be incorporated in business, society, government and personal well-being. We are then coming back into school and are trying to develop these vir tues. Go into almost any well organ ized school and you will see an actual application of life principles on a basis of efficiency which will astonish you. The schools are not perfect, but they are constantly improving. In our education from the first grade to the graduate school, our aim should be three-fold: First, to fit us for the most successful practice of our 1 respeeive callings; second, to enrich and refresh our lives with more intelli gent and varied avocations; and. third, to render us more helpful in our mani fold relations to the community at large.” “IMPERIALISM.” By Miss Lawlor. The saying that ‘‘the sun never sets on English soil” might also apply to i the United States if we acquire any territory in the Far East. As it is Our colonial possessions are limited to the American hemisphere where the sun shines brightly in far Alaska, and sets majestically in the Phillippine Islands. Americans are averse to any expression of imperialism on the part of any European power, as demon strated by our Monroe Doctrine, and yet our policy toward Central Ameri ca has not been exactly democratic. Our policy in Nicaragua, Santi Domingo, Porto Rico and the Philip pines has been purely aggressive, rather than progressive. Autonomy, i has been forbidden our Latin-Ameri i can neighbors who are clamoring for independence fully as sincerely as we, ■ before the Revolution. The white man’s burden has been | assumed in a protective manner and in all sincerity, but today our darker brother’s are able to assume the re sponsibilities of statehood and of democracy, which is denied to them by the United States Congress. Ls our Monroe Doctrine a protection for Lat in America from European interfer ! enee, or is it merely a curtain which I shields our policy of imperialistic con trol over (he western hemisphere?

We have just started the study of decimals this week. We dramatized a geography review last week. Each member of the class was to represent a country, and dur ! ing the geography period each pupil told the class all he could about him self, and the country he represented. Some, of the pupils had very interest ing talks. & . t, si. FIFTH GRADE. We pupils gave Miss Shaughnesy a i fruit shower, Monday. We had a I good time, April 30, 1929. Mr. Mike Madura, O’Neill, Nebraska. My Dear Mike: 1 have just re ceived your letter dated April 24th. 1 will try and sec* that some eighth grads pupil gets your letter. Since you have written one letter without any reply, I am going to see that you get a reply to this one by writing my self. You have given us some very interesting information about your state and your school, and I will try to tell you something of. the same nature about our state and town and school. Maine is not' quite half as large in area as your state, its surface being 33,040 square miles of which about one-tenth is water. Its greatest length i.' 303 miles and its greatest width is 215 miles. With such dimen sions. Maine’s area would be much greater it’ it were regular, hut if you will look at the map you will see that it is shaped quite a bit like a pear. A diagonal line from the southeastern boundary along the coast to Eastport would measure about 250 miles, but if you try to follow the shore line in a boat you would travel nearly ten ' times a far, or 2,500 miles In places (this sea const has beautiful beaches. In other places it is rocky and rough. We have lowlands near the coast, hilly : upland region farther back, and then i a mountain area. Our town, Dover-Voxcroft, has been one town only since 1922. For a hun dred years before that the two towns I have been -ide by side and the villages ; ran together so that in many places j one could not tell which town he was in. We are very near the exact gqo . graphical center of the state. The Piscataquis river, a branch of the Penobscot, flows through our town providing water power for woolen mills. We have a population of about 1.000 with about three fourths living jin the built-up section an the remain der out on farms. In addition to the woolen manufacture, we have one J large mill which make- wooden spools ■ for thread, and saw mills for manu facturing lumber. The chief crop in this vicinity is potatoes and we raise ! very fine ones. Field corn, oats, and hay are the other principal crops, be side'. vegetables. Our planting sea : son is much like yours. tj Our town lies in the northern edge jof the hilly region, the mountains are i just to the north. We have some fine lakes nearby where there is excellent fishing. We have two railroads, the Maine Central and the Bangor and Aroostook. In the village or city part of the town, there are four school buildings, two for giades up to sixth, one for seventh and eighth grades, and fox croft Academy which serves as our high school. There are several school buildings in the rural part of the town, mostly one room buildings. We have <’>50 children in the grades and 200 in the Academy. Most winters we have lots of snow and considerable cold weather. Our summers are cool for the most part. There are very few hot nights, not a very good corn country, you see. Our river is very high now with the spring rains and melting snow on its headwaters. Grass is just beginning to show green. Some day 1 hope you will be able to visit Maine. We think it is a beau tiful state. Sincerely yours, Walter J. Rideout. EIGHTH GRADE, Thu class is making a collection of wild flowers. So far flowers have been contributed by Earl Hunt, Luella Cran dall and Catherine Hagensick. We are also making a collection of odd shaped rocks. In response to letters written to different sections of the United States, the following have received re plies. Elsie Ohmart received a let ter from Bowling Green, Kentucky; Mike Madura from Dover, Maine; Bernice Scofield from Jackson, Mississippi, and Catherine Hagensick from Canon City, Colorado. Mary Sparks is hack in school after an absence of five weeks owing to di nes-. It seems good to have her with us again. Catherine Hagensick received a cer tificate from the Palmer School of Penmanship at Chicago. AMERICAN HISTORY DIVISION II From our present point of view we may look back upon the secession of the outhern states and realize they were honest in feeling that no other cour-e wras open to them. It seemed evident that the election of Abraham Lincoln, as president, on an anti - j slavery platform with a congress, the majority of whom were quite radically opposed to slaveiy, must mean noth ing less than the abolition of negro slavi ry. Many people, in the north as well as in the south still believe that a state which was dissatisfied with the Union had a right to withdraw. It was only by the victory of that lit ion in the Civil War which finally settled the controversy concerning “Stares Rights vs. National Govern ment;” this question had been before the people more or less continually sinri the adoption of our present eon stiti 'ion. Probably the settlement of the upremacy of the Federal Govern ment over the state'-- is a result of as great if not greater importance than the abolition of slavery. RED CROSS.
