Morris and his first lieutenant,

time,with the fleet and men at their
unand, to conduct an ixn dition up
river to subdue and awe the inhabi
HI ts as far as Bangor, as well as destroy
Adams and place that part of the
ntry under subjection, for all through
'' ■ war they had been harrassed by the
^'position of the people and the small
Mpeditio s sent out by them.
1 he fleet started up the river Septem
tar 2, 1814. The Dragon “74” and the
Btnaller ships, with a flotilla of launches,
targes and rocxet boats. They made
flie scene as impressive as possible, with
the bands playing and yardB manned by
tandreds of their Hessian soldiers in
llieir gay uniforms and brilliant trap
kings. We cannot realize with what dis
may the inhabitants viewed this display,
i,Jr what chance had they against such a
We with their small company of poorly
‘filed militia? The British land force
w‘s under command of Lieut.-Col. John,
insisting of 600 troops,.80 marines and
80 seamen. The flotilla was composed
of barges, launches and rocket boats
under the command of Capt. Barrie of
the Dragon. In all, over 1500 men. This
force landed some distance below Hamp
den, in the vicinity of Winterport, and
proceeded up the river overland.
Capt. Morris made every preparation
he could to defend his ship, but his means
were very limited. Seventy of his men
were dead or disabled by scurvy. Many
of them, also diseased and in a weakened
condition, W'ere mustered out to the num
ber of 130 officers and seamen (without
muskets), also 20 marines. Later this
force was enlarged by the addition of
over 300 militia, armed with squirrel
guns, ducking and fouling pieces. In all
between 500 and 550 men. Only 180, with
50 muskets between them, could be de
pended upon.
The seamen of the Adams from the
wharf opened fire on the flotilla, which
returned it with rockets and cannonade,
but the advanced was checked. Mean
while, the British land forces attacked
the militia who acted up to the tradition
al militia standard and retreated with
the utmost promptitude and celerity,
omitting the empty formality of firing.
Their Commander, Col. Blake, had re
quested his men to wait until they could
see the white of their enemy’s eves: it
is doubtful if he waited so long himself.
He was sent down to take command of
the colonels and in spite of the protest of
the captain and officers of the Adams,
dismantled her of her guns and most of
her ammunition and carried them up on
the hill at Hampden.
This left Capt. Morris surrounded by
eight times hia number and there was
nothing for him to do but set fire to his
ship. The ship lay to a small dock, head
up stream, with a spring line out. He
let go both head and stern lines, got the
tide on the port bow which would cause
her to shear off into the stream and deep
er water. In the meantime, he had set a
slow match to what was left of the mag
azine and put two sick men ashore on the
dock. As the ship veered off, he with the
remainder of his crew jumped overboard
and swam across the river. They had
hardly .gained the opposite shore when
the Adams’ magazine exploded and she
sank a short distance from the shore,
burning to the water’s edge, and no
doubt at extreme low tide the remains
of her hull can still be seen to this day.
Capt. Morris and his men escaped to
Portland, 200 miles away, the British
lost ten men killed and wounded but they
had gained undisputed sway over the
Penobscot valley, which did not do them
much good as peace was soon afterward
declared and the British flag hauled down
forever. Wm. S. Devereux.

•This statement is somewhat traditional. It
has also been made about the John Adame, but
the reports of several naval officers of that
time are positive that it occurred to the Adams
on thiB cruise.

Latest Outlook on Education.
TaTHE Editor of The Journal: The
Washington Educational Association re
cently listened to an address by Pres.
Suzzalls of the University of Washing
ton. He said that educational method
had been acquired as a result of neces
sity and now needed to be systematized
and reduced to a science. Needs have
arisen and the teacher has experimented
to find something adapted to the needs of
the situation. Medical inspection is a
conservation measure to make the most
of the child. The Kindergarten has
been judged by Rome unprofitable be
cause fourth grade pupils who have not
attended Kindergarten show just as high
a rank. A nursery might be condemned
on the same ground. Yet it is these
early influences which fix the future
destiny of the individual for weal or woe.
Fourth grade examinations take no note
of these early influences. The Kinder
garten competes with the back alley for
a portion of the rising generation. For
merly our educational system educated
only the few who happened to be similar
in nature to the teachers. But the pub
lic who pay the taxes to support the
schools demanded that all should be edu
cated, whether they appreciated gram
mar and history or not. Hence those
pupils who did not appreciate the favor
ite subjects of the teacher were allowed
to learn to make bread and build houses,
and it has been learned that children
take much more interest in their formal
school studies when they are thus made
to see their practical value in their ordi
nary affairs of daily life.
Under the old Bystem a large part of
the children were thrown upon the hu
man scrap heap, but under the new each
and every one finds his proper place.
Those who intend to teach remain in
school longer than any other class. There
is a place in the world for everyone.
limber not suitable for a pillar may
make a very good shingle. Training for
social life is just as essential as a verba
tim knowledge of the book. Some
have thought that visitors disturb a
school, but a school which cannot stand
inspection is defective, Feeling and ac
tion are as essential to the individual as
knowing. Action concentrates the at
tention, and attention is essential to pro
gress. Some are content to hold the old
rules of conduct, others are eager to ex
tract from each successive community
and environment all that they are capable
of contributing. They may be scientific
skeptics, but they are soldiers of fortune.
Memory cannot adapt itself to a pro
gressive system of education,
Lofty ideals lead and emotions push
us forward. The old idea that know -
edge is power is a fallacy. Feeling is
power, yet many think that the feelings
should be reserved for the home. In
stinct pushes us forward and the intel
lect holds the throttle. One mother
screams when she sees a snake, another
admires it. They will have opposite ef
fects upon their children. Books contain
truths, but individuals impart character.
The teacher should hate what all should
hate and love what all should love. That
hatred and love is conveyed more effec
tively by the countenance and tone of
voice than by the words. All elements
of the personality combine to produce a
unity.
Look over the people reading their
evening paper and you can tell the paper
by the countenance. If the thought has
not already impressed the countenance,
it will ultimately. The political reform
er becomes pessimistic. He sees the
ills of society. A moralist is good to
admire, but poor company. By over
stress he becomes a fanatic. People
realize the ills of society as never before,
because their sensibilities have been
aroused. It is as essential to teach the
art of play as the art of work. If the
art of recreation is not taught some im
proper substitute will be indulged in to
the detriment, of the individual. The
art must be taught by example rather
than precept. Supervised play ceases
to be play. Morals must be taught in
the same way. Tne church of the past
has been illogical and unscientific. Lit
erature has been taught in that super
vising way which disgusts the lesrner.
The fear economy of the past is giving
place to r pleasure economy.
At the close of Pres. Suzzall’s talk, of
which soma of the leading thoughts have
oeen given, a portion ol tde audience gath
ered in the Sunday school room of the Ply
mouth church to discuss segregated High
school education. Statistics from the
Broadway school showed that girls got
lower grades when reciting alone than
in mixed chsses, while boys got higher
grades on account of the change. This
was accounted for in part by the fact
that girls get the higher rank and do not
appear so brilliant when the lower boys
standard is no longer present for com
parison. On the boys side they appear
more stupid when compared with girls
than when compared with themselves.
Teachers are divided in opinion as to the
beneficial results of segregation. Boys
learn some subjects more readily than
girls, but the girls are more thorough
and scholarly. Girls are more tidy and
mannerly. It is a more serious problem
to properly discipline boys without girls’
influence. Some argued that if boys and
girls were to become life partners, their
differences should be lessened rather
than increased. One man said he was
educated in a boys High school, so he
knew the absence of the girls was de
basing to the boys. Another replied
that boys High school seemed to pro
duce good results on the speaker, to
which he replied that he took a course
later at a co-educational University.
The above thought was the more in
teresting to the writer from having ob
served the effect of the lack of girls in
fluence on the two thousand boys in the
Philadelphia Boys High school, of which
the above speaker said he was a victim;
but the unfavorable effect continues in
after life, as may be observed by visit
ing the Philadelphia school of Pedagogy,
where these same boys continue their
education. It has been claimed by some
that it was the teacher’s fault, but all
will have to acknowledge that a girl can
influence a boy to an extent that a man
lannot.
From argument and observation, will
lot all have to acknowledge that one of
the chief factors in the production of im
morality is the attempt of Bociety to re
strain the natural association of the
sexes and that their natural association
:s elevating in its influence.
