STONE Frank Goodwin Stone, who took up the du- ties of the principal of Hartland Academy in September, 1943, was born in Lisbon Falls, Maine, in 1896. He attended the local schools there, being graduated from high school with the class of 1915. After graduation, he attend- ed Bates College obtaining his A. B. degree in 1919. He now possesses an M. A. from the same institution. Previous to his arrival in Hartland, Mr. Stone, resiided in Jay, Maine, where he was principal of the high school. He has taught science, history, civics, mathematics and vari- ous other subjects when the occasion demand- -ed. At H. A. he has several classes. in mathe- matics which he considers ,his favorite subject. His teaching career has taken him to Dover- Foxcroft, Ellsworth, Turner, Pittsfield, Jay and Hartland. Mr. Stone has several hobbies, of which traveling and hiking are foremost. He is al- so interested in photography and he has done some developing in the past. The Stone family consists, besides Mr. Stone, of Mrs. Lillian Stone, who has assisted in the teaching staff during emergencies, a lson, John, in the Naval Air Caldetsg a son, Raleigh, and a daughter, Ethel, both attend- ing Hartland Academy. , -Myrtle Lovely '45 T0 THE FARMS! We have recently seen a large part of the lboys who were deferred for farm work, re- classified and inducted into the armed forces. A great number of these boys were farmers' sons and others who had taken the agriculture courses in the local high schools. They knew their farming. Now it is an accepted fact that an army marches on its stomach , and our fighting men would be a sorry sight indeed, were their food supply to be cut off. Starvation, resulting in defeat, would be the obvious result. If our great military leaders deem it necessary to take the farm boys and turn them into soldiers -....-....-....-....-....-....-- -....-....-. - - -..-....-..-..g and sailors, we on the home front should so modify our way of living that we can give all the aid possible to the farmers. An emergency in farm labor is here now, we must not let in get worse while we are strong and alble to help, A large number of the students of Hartland Academy are from farm homes. They under- stand the growing and :harvesting of' crops raised in this part of the state. Many of them can already be classifiefid as skilled laborers. Others from town are taking the vocational Giving assistance to the farmers courses. would be of great value to them in experience. If we should lose this War, an education would be meaningless. I think that our school program sfhould be modifiedl, if necessary, to permit every one of us to do our full share in the great job of producing food for our fight- ing forces, for home consumption, and for our Allies. -Madeleine Hughes '45 SHALL WE MODIFY THE SCHOOL PROGRAM FOR EMERGENCY AGRICULTURAL WORK? Should the school program be modified to permit pupils to engage in emergencey agri- cultural work? I do not think so. The school 'program has been modified enough already to permit sufiicient agricultural emergency work, at least for this area. As the program now stands, pupils are dis- missed from school to help on farms only as individuals, not as a whole school. That is as it should be. If the whole school were excused, and the pupils were allowed to find their own employment, half of them wouldn't go to work at all. As the program is functioning now, the farmer gets only the number of workers that he wants and no more. Some school children, even when they do get work, are not worth the bother of hiring them. They usually start working about ten o'clock, after having fooled around getting ready for three hours. Then after two' hours of half work and half horseplay, they knock off for lunch. Instead of taking the usual one hour -I 10 1-
