Any portion of the fund not distributed or expended during the year is added to the permanent school fund. The money granted by the State to academies and free high schools is provided for by special appropriation, while that for normal schools is a charge on the common school fund. Appropriations for the office of State superintendent, teachers' institutes, printing and distribution of educational literature, etc., call for no special mention, the purpose in each case being sufficiently indicated by the name. History of academies.54. Academ1es Previous to the separation of Maine from Massachusetts there had been incorporated in the district twenty-five academies, with endowments aggregating more than two hundred and fifty thousand acres of wild land. Between 1820 and 1851, forty-four academies were chartered, and since 1851, twenty.2 Most 1 Freeman, Supplement, 96, Sec. 3. a For the list, see Report of the State Superintendent, 1900, 138-140. of these institutions, though poorly endowed, did good work, and formed, in the absence of high schools, the only connecting link between the common schools and the college. But the establishment of free high schools, in 1873, was a death blow to all but the stronger of the old academies. Many of them transferred their buildings and funds to the towns in which they were located and became free high schools. 1 Others, while retaining their corporate existence, did the work of high schools for the towns in which they were situated, deriving their support mainly from special appropriations made by the legislature, in addition to what was received under the free high school law.

Book excerpt: With The Lumberman's Frontier, Thomas Cox has reconstructed a groundbreaking history that stands apart from all previous studies of American forests. Forests were ubiquitous in early America, but it was only in selected areas that trees, rather than farming, attracted settlement. These areas constitute the lumberman's frontier, which appeared first in northern New England in the seventeenth century, followed by upstate New York, the Allegheny Plateau, the upper Great Lakes states, the Gulf South, and the Far West. The forest frontiers generated capital and building materials important in the nation's development, but they also left a legacy of environmental problems, class and urban-rural divisions, and economic frictions. The 1930s marked the end of the lumberman's frontier, but these consequences continue to shape attitudes and policies toward forests, most notably the questions "Whose forests are they?" and "How and by whom should forests be used?" Drawing upon recent work in social and economic history, as well as a wealth of historical data on forest industries and individuals, The Lumberman's Frontier neither glorifies economic development nor falls into the maw of gloom-and-doom. It puts individual actors at center stage, allowing the points of view of the workers and lumbermen to emerge. The Lumberman's Frontier will appeal to students and scholars of forestry, public policy, and environmental history, as well as to general readers interested in the history and settlement of the United States.
