Here, from the earliest grades, the child learns his lessons of sportsmanship, fair play, obedience and responsi- bility. The school activities train the pupils for good citi- zenship and teaches how to take part in self government Such organizations as the grange, the church and the sun day school give to young and old an opportunity for social gath erings, religious instructions, and sharing of responsibility, all of which is a part of the work of a democratic state If these town institutions are to be continued, citizens must become more interested them I believe that all adults should go to town meeting, even though they do not vote Every one should be willing to hold office and to cooperate with other citizens People should become more enthusiastic about the schools The parents should visit the schools and citizens with no children, should give all possible aid to supporting the school and its activities In these days when the right to assemble and to worship ac cording to the dictates of con science are being snatched away zens must become more interested in these rights and try to cre ate different attitude in thc younger generation toward thc town institutions Ikilvklkiklk COMMUNICABLE DISEASES AND T B TEST In February the school w s visited by the health nurse ann Dr Laughlin, head of the Healti Department of Maine, who gave I . . . .
