Through Out the country old and young are celebrating this great historical event with suitable ceremonies. Mayor. Baker recently appointed a committee of Portland citizens head ed by Wlnthrop Hammond to ar range a suitable observance of the day in Portland. This morning, the pupils in the high, commercial and polytechnic schools lis tened to addresses by members of the Sons of the American Revolution, each of which was supplemented with patriotic music, the reading of the Mayflower compact and other interesting numbers. PRINCIPLES ARE PRAISED Williaip D. Wheelwright, in addressing the girls at the Polytechnic school for girls, said, in part : "The pilgrims whose memory we honor today made conscience the law of life and lifted integrity Into religion. They had high ideas of educa-, tlon and founded institutions of learning. , The seed they planted flowered Into a veritable 'tree of life,' a national life that has suffered deterioration in pro portion as it has departed from the prin ciples that they followed themselves and that they tried to inculcate in others. However, they failed in the application of those principles, their ideals came to them from the loftiest sources." Robert Treat Piatt, addressing pupils of the Lincoln high school, traced the pilgrim from his inception to the final landing in this country, and said that both the religious and political laws laid down by them are felt in the religious life and tlfe federal government, its form and its workings today.
