Westbrook High School The improved blackboards in rooms 14 and 16 are very much appreciated by both teachers and pupils. The new lights in the main room, the library, the coat rooms and the stairway are also a great improvement, and make us wonder how we ever got along without them. The Principal's ofiice has also been lighted. The bookroom which has been assigned to Mr. Stirling for an office has also had a light installed. Some lof the units in the commercial rooms have been changed to make the illumination more satisfactory. The Ladies' Home Journal subscription contest held in December resulted in securing a total of 155 subscriptions. The school was divided into two teams, the boys competing against the girls to see which group would obtain the greatest number of subscribers. The contest lasted only a week, and the girls early in the race secured a lead which the boys were too gallant to overcome. The amount of money taken in was one hundred and fifty-five dollars : of this amount one-half was sent to the Curtis Publishing Company, and the re- mainder was retained by the school. After deduct- ing the expense of conducting the contest about forty dollars clear profit was left, and according to the original purpose of the contest this sum was applied to the purchase of books for the high school library. The following books were bought and make a valuable addition to our meagre collection : The Romance of Astronomy. The Romance of Electricity. The Romance of Scientific Discovery. The Romance of Modern Invention. The Romance of Manufacture. The Romance of the Spanish Main. The Romance of War Inventions. The Romance of the Mighty Deep. The Romance of Modern Exploration. The Romance of Coal. 7 For the most part these books are on scientific subjects and written in a popular style so that they may be read and appreciated by readers with- out scientific knowledge. They are of value not only in the science classes but also in the English classes, as they furnish many subjects for essays. In addition to the above there were purchased the four volumes of Senator Albert J. Beveridge's Life of john Marshall, a monumental contri- bution to American history and politics. There were no schools in session on Friday, February 6th, because of the joint convention of the Cumberland and York County Teachers' Association, held in Portland High School. At this convention Principal Lewis was elected vice- president of the Cumberland County Association for the ensuing year. The occasional odor of sewer gas in room No. 1 of the commercial department, which has been such a mystery for several years, and which has successfully eluded all attempts to discover its source, was finally located bythe janitor, Mr. Booth, with the aid of Mr. Huston, who was em- ployed in putting in the foundations at the time the new wing was added to the building. The cause of the leakage of sewer gas into the building was a pipe intended to serve as a vent for the dead air under the building and which was located in a remote and inaccessible part of the building be- tween the basement floor and the concrete float on which the new wing rests. This pipe, intended as a vent, was acting as an inlet for the sewer gas, after finally being discovered was plugged up and there has been no odor since. It was always more noticeable in winter than at any other time, although it was never present in sufiicient strength to cause any alarm. Nevertheless, it is a relief to know that the source has been found and the leakage stopped.
