"America Facing the Far East."
The lecture by John Merritt Driver
in Seaver's hall Monday evening upon
the above title was unquestionably
one of the most profound and scholarly
lectures ever heard in this place.
While the subject was a broad one and
the speaker a learned man, his master
ful oratory, his wit and his masterly
handling of every point, held a large
audience over two hours of dealing
with the races and their destiny. Cer
tainly the course offered this year
under the management of the school
whereby the students expect to realize
someting for their piano fund, is one
of the best ever held in Barton.
Mr. Driver, who has traveled in
every country on the globe, looked into
the faces of every race, sailed every
sea, written books; compo p music,
preached and lectured, told dramatical
ly the story of the Divine will in mak
ing different races and keeping them
following in their own channel regard
less of their personal will or desire
and not allowing them to become
mixed with other distinct races. He
told the story of the work mapped out
by God for these races and showed
how in the past history of the world
each of these races had unalterably
followed the course intended for them
by the Creator.
Dr. Driver made personal friends
in his short stay in town and would
be warmly welcomed to Barton again.
Remember the next number in the
course on Tuesday evening, Jan. 28.

LEGISLATURE AT WORK
Open After Holiday Recess with De
bating and Call for Investigation
of Coal Trust.
Both the house and senate met Mon
day evening after a 16 day rest and
started work at orice. During the
evening session Mr. Aldrich of St.
Johnsbury introduced a resolution
suggesting that the governor appoint
a commission to act with commissions
from the other New England states
in determining the cause of the short
age of coal in this part of the country
and recommend legislation to relieve
the people.
During the same session Mr. Cook
of Lyndon introduced a resolution
calling upon the public service com
mission of Vermont to provide ade
quate passenger station facilities at
White River Junction where a tempo
rary shelter now stands. The resolu
tion also asked that the closets in the
railroad stations of the state be main
tained in a more sanitary condition,
pronouncing them' filthy and loath
some. The bill incorporating the "Valley
Savings Bank & Trust Company, ' of
North Troy was passed to a third
reading in tne nouse. '
Yesterday the house took up the
measure relating to the punishment
for murder. The bill came from com
mittee with a majority report of live
members recommending that the
measure ought not to pass. There
also was a report signed by four mem
bers urging the passage of the bill.
The bill provides for a death penalty
for first degree murder and life im
prisonment for murder in the second
degree. Mr. Wright of Westminster
made one of the strongest speeches of
the session when he spoke about ten
minutes in support of the bill. He
i quoted figures to show that the aboli
tion ot the death penalty in various
states has resulted in an increase of
crime.
Mr. Cook of Lyndon opposed the bill
on the ground that the option allows
jurymen to decide between first and
second degree murder. This option,
he thought, would result in weakening
the present capital punishment law.
Mr. Hulett of Rutland City favored
the minority report.
' Mr. Adams of Marlboro favored the
bill and Mr. Taft of Townsend took
the same stand, while Mr. Locke of
Barton and Mr. Adams of Chelsea
favored the minority report, or in
other words, the passage of the bill:
Mr. ' Jose of Johnson supported the
minority report. Then followed a
long debate with brief arguments.
Mr. Comings of Richford opposed the
measure. Mr. Chesley of Sheffield i
favored the bill. On a yea and nay I
vote, the bill was ordered to a third
readng, the vote standing 180 to 42. j
This bill proposes to restore the capi
tal punishment law where it was be !
fore the revision in 1910 when the jury !
was given authority to say whether ;
punishment for first degree murder ;
should be death.
There also was a debate in the Sen-
ate on the so called flo wage bill. Mr.)
Chaffee explained that this was an i
i attempt to provide a general law
fori
the development of water Dower,
in-
steaa oi requiring an application tor a
special charter. Mr. Laird of Wash
ington county thought it unwise to
grant such powers which might pre
i n i . n
vent the use of the water for nai licipal i
purposes. ' the bill was ordered to he.
The supreme court of Vermont has
upheld the legality of the purlie ser
vice commision. This matter was
brought up during the present ses
sion and was referred to the supreme
court for an opinion. This decison was
announced by a vote of the judges
which stood three to two upholding
the authority of the body.

Entertainment by U. V. M. Boys.
Twenty-five college boys took pos
session of Barton on New Year's day
in the form of the U. V. M. glee club
and orchestra. It was a fine bunch of
fellows and they gave us a good en
tertainment consisting of combined
glee club and orchestra work, club
singing and solo and quartette work.
The orchestra work was line also and
the string quartette was especially
Dleasing, calling forth storms of ap
plause from a large audience. The
brass sextette which appeared in the
dormitory room scene was also good.
The general consensus of opinion was
that the entertainment reflected great
credit upon the boys and3the university,
and those who entertained the young
men in their homes had nothing but
praise for the boys.
The class of '10 of Barton Academy
realized over $35 'from the entertain
ment which will be applied toward the
piano fund the high school is working
for. The success of the entertainment
may be credited to a large extent to
Amory Seaver, pianist for the U. V.
M. glee club, who had charge of local
arrangements. It was especially
pleasing to local people to know ! that
three of the members of the club and
orchestra are from this locality. Smith
and Gardyne of Orleans besides Seaver
of this village being members.

CARROLL S. PAGE'S VOCATIONAL
EDUCATIONAL BILL.
(The following is extracted from an
article by C. S Page in a recent num
ber of the New York Independent, re
garding his educational bill now before
Congress.)
The friends of the Page Vocational
Educational bill Senate Bill No. 3
while confessing satisfaction with the
curriculum, so far as those connected
with the high schools and the colleges
are concerned, insist that to 93 per
cent to speak accurately, the 92.93
per cent who never enter the high
schools or colleges, we are not extend
ing the square deal, and it is only by
affording to this 93 per cent the op
portunity to acquire an education along
vocational lines that we can perform
our plain duty to these children.
The Page bill contemplates :
1. It proposes to appropriate $3,
000,000 from the federal treasury for
the purpose of encouraging instruction
in agriculture, the trades and indus
tries, and "home" economics, "in
clearly defined departments, or divi
sions, of high schools of secondary
school grade." Translated into plain
terms, it means an appropriation for
the -benefit of vocational training in
schools in rural communities towns
and villages having; say from liOOO.to
4,000 population
2. It appropriates $3,000,000 toward
the support of institutions :n which
only the trades and industries and
home economics shall be taught. This
appropriation is designed to stimulate
and encourage the establishment of
separate schools in the larger cities,
where will be taught those industries
which the mass of boys in the larger
cities must have to adequately equip
them for earning a liviihood at the
trade or vocation for which their
peculiar talents seem best to fit them,
and where girls may be taught home
economics.
3. The bill appropriates $3,000,000,
In round numbers, for the establish
ment of a system of high schools
where the better educated of the
farmers' boys in rural communities
may receive a training that will fit
them for agricultural life. It is not
proposed to make this the equal of the
agricultcral colleges of course; but
it is to be peculiarly the college of the
iarmer ooy, where he snail receive
1 that instruction and encouragement
which jt is hoped and believed will
prompt him to return 1.0 the farm and
pursue agriculture as a life wcrk
rather than, as is rfSw the case, the
desertion of the farm life for the city.

MISS JESSIE JEAN KENDRICK
The death angel has visited our com
munity and taken from us one young
in life Miss Jessie Jean Kendrick,
only daughter of Richard Kendrick,
passed away very suddenly of heart
trouble at her home on Wednesday
evening, Dec. 18, at nine o'clock. She
was born on July 23, 1887, and spent
her whole life in the home where she
was born and brought up. As a child,
she was very frail, but her parents
cared for her and watched over her
very tenderly all her life. Since her
mother's death her father has done
everything that loving hands coulchdo
for her comfort. After completing
the course in the district school, she
attended Barton academy, but was
obliged to give up her school owing to
ill health. A little over a year ago,
the death angel visited the home, tak
ing the loving wife and mother. This
was indeed a sad blow to Jessie, whose
.life seemed to hang upon a thread, and
she mourned very deeply her mother's
Heath. She was a member of ' the

Craftsbury and attended services when
she was abe to be there, being in
church the Sunday before her death.
During the autumn she seemed to be
failing yet her sufferings wrung from
her lips no word of complaint or im
patience. She was a very kind, loving,
dutiful daughter, always willing to
help even when her health would
scarcely permit of it. What a great
consolation to know that she will be
separated from us only for a short,
time, for we believe that she is with
Jesus and ere long we shall meet her
on . the bright and peaceful shore.
While we miss her cordial welcome we
will recall the kind and cheerful word
she was wont to give and we will
think of her as only hidden from our
sight by the cloud of shining mist,
which rests upon the river. Funeral
services were conducted at her late
home on Saturday, Dec. 21, at one
o'clock by the Rev. C. E. Garvin of
East Craftsbury, a large number be
ing present and sympathizing with the
mourners. Much sympathy is extend
ed to the bereaved father and to Ray,
as their home is now so desolate. We
can only commend them to Him whO'
has said "I will not leave you com
fortless." Interment was at East
Craftsbury cemetery beside her moth
er. The near relatives from away to
attend the funeral were Dr. and Mrs.
J. F. Kendrick of West Charleston-and

Peaceful in thy grave so low ;
Thou no more will join our number.
Thou no; more our sorrows know,
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is rled;
And with joy in Heaven to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed."
Card of Thanks We wish to express
our appreciation of the sympathy and
kindly help shown by friends r id
