Fight the Caterpillars.
In spite of frequently sounded warn
ings, caterpillars are being allowed to
continue tneir destructive woric over
large areas of Orleans county. Many
trees along the roadsides have been
stripped of their foliage. Some of
these trees may be useless except for
what they add to the pleasure of
driving through the country, but they
become positively ugly when robbed of
their leaves and covered with worms'
nests.
. This is not all ; many of the cater
pillars Will migrate to fruit trees, and
then there is the ever increasing
number of insecc pests which must be
checked some time, or every green
leaf will be destroyed. Fight the
caterpillars. You have been told how
in previous issues of this paper.
SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED
Commencement Week Over and Summer
Vacation at Hand. Teachers and Pupils
Gone after Very Successful Year.
The Monitor reported -in its. last
issue the events of Commencement
week up to and including Tuesday.
Wednesday afternoon the graduating
exercises of the grammar school took
place and were attended by a , large
number of parents and friends.' The
exercises were of the usual high order,
eighteen pupils graduating. ,
The commencement exercises of Bar
ton academy were held Thursday eve
ning in Seaver's hall before a large and
appreciative audience. The graduat
ing class numbered eighteen, as did
also the class which enters the high
school from the grammar school.
Barton is proud and justly so, of the
size, as well as of the attainments of
its school, no high school in the county
numbering so many pupils or so many
graduates. Each paper showed careful
preparation and it would be impossible
to single out any one paper for special
mention. "Before presenting diplomas
to the graduates, Prof. Stannard urged
them to lofty endeavor toward high
ideals, and bade them remember that
this was the beginning; not the end of
their strife. Music for the evening
was furnished by the, Schubert club.
The program follows: Invocation.
Rev. W. A. Warner ; salutatory. Ralph
Elywn King ; essay, "The Voices of
Nature," Katherine Helene Ansboro;
oration, "The Modern Terminal,"
John Thistle , Campbell ; essay, "The
Weavers," Mildred Sarah Chase;
essay, "Westminster Abbey," Gladys
Ellen Christie; essay, "Our Progressive
President," Alice Louise Dexter; es
say, Niagara," Edith Jane McFarlane ;
essay, "Afterwhiles," Ruth Hannah
Corley; essay, "Memory's Message,"
Hazel Sarah Cook ; essay, "A Strife for
Reform," Matie Lou Phillips ; Valedic
tory, George Tracy Cook.
Seven of the eighteen graduates took
part in the class day exercises on the
school grounds the Tuesday afternoon
previous as reported in these, columns
last week.
On Friday evening the annual
Alumni banquet was held in the
parlors of the Congregational church,
members and guests of the associa
tion numbering 145 being in attend
ance. Rev. Mr. Warner invoked the
Divine blessing on the gathering, and
accompanied by the Schubert club, 'the
feast went merrily on, the . company
singing in full chorus as college songs
were introduced by the orchestra. It
is worthy of mention here that eight
of the class of ten of 1912 were pres-i
ent, due to the efforts' of the class
secretary. ...
The toastmistress, Miss Clemma
Seaver, '08, presented Miss Vera Web
ster,' '97, as the first speaker, who
developed from the subject, "Mer
ingue," the thought that nothing is
unimportant, and made a plea for op
timism, self control and a true sense
of relative values. W. S. Hibbard,
'86, a member of the first class grad
uated from the school, welcomed the
class of 1913 in a cordial manner, and
sustained his well-earned reputation
for humor. He reminded his hearers
that they would need to cultivate their
imagination and cited instances, as in
the case of Edison, Thorean, Newton,
the Wrights, where this power had
opened up -vast fields of usefulness.
Miss Matie Philips responded in a
happy manner. Roy A. Bean, '99,
spoke upon' Conservation." He made a
strong plea for the conserving of
physical and mental energies as well
as of the resources of the state and
nation. In responding to the toast,
"Work," Prof. Stannard mentioned in
stances in which parents had in his
presence congratulated themselves
that their children would never have
to work so hard as had they. In Mr.
Stannard's opinion, this was the worst
thing that could befall a child, as the
necessity for work is a saving grace
and that without it no person is able
to cope with the .world. G. Leland
Green, '02, principal of the State
Agricultural school at Randolph,
gave a talk upon, "Country Life
Problems and How to Solve Them."
Mr. Green spoke of the changes notice
able in Barton in the ten years of his
absence, and paid a tribute to Prof.
Stannard on his work in the school and
the love and respect he -had received
and merited from his pupils. The
Monitor expeets to print Mr. Green's
toast in full in an early issue.
At the business meeting following,
F. D. Pierce, '00, was elected presi
dent ; Dean Corley, '10, vice president
and Mrs. J. F. Batchelder, '88, secre
tary and treasurer.
The association desires in this way
to express its grateful appreciation of
the untiring efforts of Mrs. Batchelder
in her work as secretary of the alumni
association.
This notice of school events is not
complete without mention of the pro
motions which took place at 10 o'clock
Friday forenoon when reward for
faithful work in all grades was recog
nized by promotion to grades above.
With the exception of Miss Goss,
teacher in the first grade and Miss
Findlay in the fourth and fifth grades
the entire faculty , is- expected to re
turn another fall. These teachers
have given excellent satisfaction and
it is to be regretted they cannot be
retained.
Prospects for a large school, es
pecially in the high room, are bright
for next year. . '
Smallpox in Missisquoi Valley.
There are a few mild cases of small
pox in Troy, Jay and Westfield and all
public services have been discontinued
until the danger is past in these
towns. Exaggerated stories of the
situation have been spread around the
county but the Monitor cannot learn
of but three cases of the disease. A
number of people are sick in North
Troy but there is but one case of small
pox there,-and it is expected that in
another week the situation will be
well in hand.
Independent Line Coming into Barton.
An extension of the Union Tele
phone lines, a strictly , independent
company operating in parts of Orange
and Caledonia counties, is to be built
through Greensboro and Glover into
Barton and will connect with the in
dependent company here. It is under
stood material is being gotten onto the
ground and the lines will be built in
the near future. An exchange will be
maintained in Greensboro Bend in con
nection with the one at Bartonand
subscribers will have the use of! the
lines further south. Everyone desires
to make the line a substantial one and
the talk is to make this line a standard
metallic circuit which ought to give
good satisfaction. It is reported that
a large number of Greensboro and
Glover people have subscribed for the
service.

Merton E. Woodard.
Merton Elmer Woodard was born in
Barton, March 16, 1886, and for the

farm on whictfhe was born on the Wil
loughby lake road. He was the oldest
child of George J. and Hattie Gallup
Woodard, and beside his parents leaves
one sister, Mrs. Susie Gallup, and four
brothers, Burleigh, Roland, Fercy,
Merrill, and a large number of friends
and relatives.

B. & M railroad and at the time of his
death was running from -Newport to
White River Junction on the 10.13 a.
m. express and returning on the 8.45

tion. An aggravated case of appendi
citis obliged him to leave his work a

tion was performed, but the case was
too far advanced and death resulted on
Sunday morning, June 8th. The
funeral was held Tuesday, Rev. W.
A. Warner officiating. Mr. Warner
brought a message of comfort, point
ing out that while the life just gone
out had been short in years, it could
not be accounted short or unsuccessful
in God's sight, f or
"We live in deeds," not years,
In thoughts, not breaths,
In feelings, not in figures on a dial ;
We count time byheart throbs ;
He most lives who thinks most,
Feels the noblest, acts the best."
Mr. Woodard was not only gentle,
kind, considerate, genuine, but he
possessed each of these qualities in a
marked degree. It may be truth
fully said that each life with which
he came in contact was made better
thereby. He was an esteemed member
of the Brotherhood of Local Firemen
and Enginemen, members of which
acted as bearers at the funeral and
conducted the service at the grave.
The funeral was very largely attend
ed, and the profusion of flowers
attested to the sympathy of the
friends and neighbors.
CARD We desire in this manner to
express our sincere thanks and ap
preciation to all who so kindly assisted
us during the illness of our beloved
son and brother. We also express our
great appreciation to the Firemen and
Engineers, who conducted their beauti
ful burial ceremony. .
Geo. Woodard and family.
