HIGH SCHOOL NEWS.
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?
The Parent-Teachers Association
will meet Tuesday, May 14th. The
program will consist of a May Fete
and the crowning of the Queen of the
May. Election of officers will take
place. You will all enjoy this program
and meeting. Be sure to be present.

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.
A number of our high school people
nr. prodly displaying certificates from
the American Red Cross proving sat
isfactory completion of the standard
course in “Home Hygene and Care of
the Siek."
