I8 snmvmcunol Current EVCYHS- ,.,...,,,......-- , The entire, Nomml School faculty and the majority I tudents attended the 'lflint meeflllg Of the of tis s - H , Northern and the Southern Aroostook leachers Association held at I-loultona Oct' 221 23 and 24, - -t 1908 The convention was probablv the mos suc- cessful one ever held in Aroostook County, both ln point of numbers and in the excellence of the ad- dresses and papers presented. Presque Isle will endeavor to equal if not to sur- pass it the coming fall. The doors of the Normal school buildings will be wide open to the public and welcome will be the watchword. ,Miss Newell, a missionary lately returned from India, visited this school Oct. 30, 1908. She gave a very interesting talk about her work in India. Prof. Charles Davidson, head of the Department of Education at the University of Maine, visited school January 23, and gave several interesting talks to theifstuden ts. In the afternoon he lectured on '4Teaching English 1n the Public Schools, at the High school building. Prof. Davidson has had a very wide experience both as a teacher and as an executive educational ofiicer and was thus able to give a practical answer to the many seemingly puzzling problems of the teach- ers in this vicinity. We extend our deepest sympathy to Caribou in the loss of its new High school building which was to have been occupied soon. The building was very attractive in design and convenient in arrangement and Principal Wheeler and the students had long looked 'forward to occupying it. Reports are continually reaching' us of the l pros- perity of the new Alaskan country and we read glow- ing accounts of the high wages and salaries paid there. To the young men and women just graduating from our colleges and Normal schools, these reports seem to mean an easy way to get rich and each year many set out to conquer these new fields. Mrs. John I-I. Dunn whose husband is Clerk of Courts in Nome, Alaska, in writing to her sister Miss Sutherland, said the supply of teachers already eX- ceeds the demand. The teachers have docked there in large numbers only to find there are fewer schools than teachers and are obliged to return or seek eul- D1Oyment elsewhere.
