EDITORIALS THE FUTURE OF FRYEBURG ACADEMY. The future of F ryeburg Academy will be just what its graduates, friends and students make it. The ball has started to roll. Let us keep it rolling! Every- one knows what a hard time it is to ask for money and for that reason it will take some time to get the needed funds. Cer- tainly, we are not going to let F ryeburg Academy, one of the oldest, best and most historic schools in the country be ham- pered -in its work through lack of funds! Let us all get together, shoulder to shoul- der, and work to make the future of our school as glorious as its past. Everyone must talk Fryeburg Academy. Everyone must advertise it and get it before the public, We must put the equipment of the school on a par with that of other schools. MORRISON C. JAMEs. CHAPEL TALKS. The students of the Academy have been very fortunate this year to have had some very interesting chapel speakers. The first speaker of the year was Hon. A. A. Perry. His subject was Banking. The second speaker was Sec. W. A. Rob- inson of the board of trustees. He gave Il lecture on his tour through the battle- torn fields of France. Mr. Clement, superintendent of schools, gave a talk on Teaching as a Profession. Mrs. B. T. Newman gave a very interesting reading on the History of Maine. John S. Bar- rows gave a very interesting lecture on Journalism. Anna Barrows spoke be- fore school on Household Arts. These talks have been greatly appreciated by the students, and it is hoped that next year we can have a much larger number of them. THE VISION FOR FRYEBURG ACADEMY. One of the very best testimonials that can be offered for the excellence of Frye- burg Academy as an institution of learn- ing is the fact, that for almost seventy years it has been preparing young men and young women for life, life -in which they have taken their proper places, and accomplished it all in one buildingg the substantial brick edifice which was Erected in 1852, and still stands the same, with but minor changes, made necessary to meet changing conditions. While F ryeburg Academy has accom- plished much with but poor tools, they have been wielded by splendid teachers, men and women who have adapted them- selves to the inconveniences: and what was lacking in buildings and equipment they made up from their own selves: by their own efforts and by the exercise of their personality, making a pastime of the toil of book and pen. Fryeburg Academy has been very fortunate in hav- ing such teachers, who have been so faith- ful to their work and to their pupils. The fact that this condition has existed so many years, is no excuse for its con- tinuance longer than is absolutely neces- sary, for if Fryeburg Academy is to hold its own place, and its place among thc similar institutions of the country, it must be equipped with such advantages as arc necessary for a school of the kind. The conditions of were easily met with what there wasg but the conditions of 1900 and hereafter must be met with new and extensive facilities. It is almost unnecessary to say that thc Academy needs a large endowment, and such additional buildings and advantages as such schools require for successful and
