Prominent Maine Educator Dies

PORTLAND. Me. (AP)-Kenneth C. M. Sills. president ” s of Bowdoln college. died unexpect dly Monday night at his home.

The 75-year-old educator retired two years ago after more than three decades as the head of the college, where he was a facility member for 49 years.

For most of the 35 years he was president of the college in Bruns- wick, Me., Sills continued as a latln and iterature professor. teaching at least one class regularly.

He was noted. both in am out of educational circles. as an independ- ent liberal who neuer feared to es- pouse unpopular causes.

Born in Halifax. Sills moved as an infant to Portland. where his father, Rev. Charles Morton Sills. became dean of the Episcopal cathedral. P i

The son graduated from Bowdoln in 1901 and became a Bowdoln in- structor in 1003. He spent the rest of his professional life on the Brunswick cempus. '

Perhape that is why there is no capital puishment in Tibet. Mur- der is looked upon as the crime of crimes, and the few who take the life of another human are flogged. or shut up in the state prison at Sho.

Thefts and other minor of- fenses are punished by the lash. Then a broad frame is placed around the neck. of the offender on which his offence is written, and he is made to stand for a few days in a. pillory as a warning to all doers of evil.

But for highwaymen there is another law: When caught they must forfeit a foot or hand. Th! stump or limb is then plunged in- to boiling butter and held there as a means of sterilisation.

The penalties for political of- fenses are rather strict despite the fact that there is no organised system of law courts. All offenses are entrusted to persons of noble birth and who are supposed to my; a high reputation for sage- clty and integrity.
