As the time draws near for the opening of the normal schools in Ver mont, it is growing more and more certain that those who desire , to become teachers, as well as those who are now teaching in the state, are preparing to take advantage in greater numbers than ever of the opportunities offered by the Vermont normal schools for the training of teachers. Educational conditions in the state i i mi seem to oe cnangmg . rapidly, rne opportunities for teachers as far as wages are concerned, are surely grow ing better. School boards and super intendents in very large numbers are taking advantage of the law, passed by the last legislature, which says that every town employing a graduate of a normal school, if it pays at least seven dollars a week and board the first year after graduation, shall receive a rebate from the state of one dollar a week for each teacher so employed. This surely means better wages for the teachers. The Castleton normal , school gradu ated 48 teachers in June and of this number practically all are to receive at least ten dollars a week. The prospects for the coming year are especially good at that school. The entering class already numbers thirty. Of this number, nearly half are teach ers and a very large proportion are high school graduates. More than ever teachers seem to realize the need of a normal school training and to appreciate the fact that the best positions are open to those who have studied at a normal school, whose whole object is to show others How to Teach. Never before have so many high school graduates entered the Castleton normal school, as there will enter this fall. The number entering in Septem ber will almost equal as far as high school graduates are concerned, all those in the entire history of the school who have been high school graduates when they entered the school. A teacher without professional training, who has never attended a normal school, is very likely to find herself in a small school with little opportunity and low wages. Not only will she find herself there, but it will not be easy for her to place herself in an appreciably better position. It is a recognition of this fact, which is causing so many teachers to enter the normal school and compelling so many high school graduates to do the same, before they take up teach-, ing. It would seem that the graduates of Vermont normal schools are to have their choice of the best positions in Vermont. Those., desiring information regard ing the Castleton normal school can obtain a catalogue of the school by addressing Principal Charles A. Adams of Castleton. phases, has been delivered more than 2000 times and brings the highest fee of any lecture where the lecture is paid for and not the man. The term "lectures" sometimes frightens people into visions of some dry didactic discussion of a technical nature. Dr. Ott's address is just the antithesis of that, for he handles the subject in a thoroughly popular and interesting way, and applies his reasoning to present day conditions. It is thrilling, convincing, uplifting. Nominal support will hardly sustain a course such as tnis. inose wno really care for these things must take the season tickets promptly when they are placed on sale. The cost is merely nominal. Almost any one of ast year s course was worth the price of a season ticket, and therefore, if one or two are missed the ticket holder receives full va)ue. When the tickets are placed on sale, those who desire good seats for the Barton course will have to come early, as the demand for best seats is sure to be large. - --r : r-4 : 'I Public Examinations.

His Reply to Fletcher in Full. Charles D. Watson, who was re moved by Governor Fletcher from the public service commission on Monday of last week, as told in these columns, made the following statement in answer to that of Governor Fletcher, an extract of which appeared in this paper. "I read the statement of Governor Fletcher this morning with more than ordinary interest for it was the first information I had received in any way regarding the causes of my removal other than the statement made to the members of the commission that they were no longer fit to serve because of the stand they had taken in the tele phone matter. That stand amounted to a refusal to pass judgment in a case before the evidence was heard as I stated Monday. "I must confess that I am surprised to learn that the Governor had any other reasons. As to : the Bennington matter referred to by His Excellency, I may properly say that the: Governor told the commission that he had been requested to go to "Bennington , to .in vestigate. He was Tftformed i that the commission had passed judgment and would stand by that 'judgment. Gov ernor Fletcher at first criticised the commission but when the situation was explained, he said no more and did not intimate in1 any way that our action was unsatisfactory, which makes all the more surprising his present statement that our action would have justified a reorganization of the commission at that time. "His Excellency makes reference to procrastination in putting into effect a railroad demurrage law. This is the first intimation of complaint by the Governor in this regard. If there was any procrastination here it was due as much to the complainant's refusal to conform to the procedure in such matters as laid down by the law, as to any delay of the commission. "As to whether the commission was asked to pre-judge the telephone case I ask the people to read the letter from the Governor which accompanied the report of Messrs. Cook and Graham and which virtually informed us that j we were to issue an order in con-1 formity with the specific recommenda tions of the special counsel. The public may judge whether the special counsel obtained sufficient evidence or obtained it in a way proper on which to base such an order as was desired1. I, with the other members of the commission, was willing to issue such an order as would give the telephone companies an opportunity to be heard and present their case. "That I had no intimation or suspicion that relations between the Governor and myself were not friendly, I may say that besides a lack of suggestion from him, I had been received socially at his home and had eaten at his table and slept under his roof. Up to the time of the telephone report, then, in my opinion the most cordial relations existed between Mr. Fletcher and myself. A change was noticeable, however, after the commission had determined that it must withdraw its promise to sign the order the Governor wanted. When we told His Excellency of our position the change was at once evident. As I have stated before, he then informed us that we were no longer fit to sit in judgment on the matter. This was at his house in Proctorsville. There was a great contrast between his treatment of me on the occasion of my former visit to his house and . then. "I will say in conclusion that Governor. Fletcher knew me by personal contact when we were in the house of representatives together in 1908 and also during the recent session when he was chief executive and I was again on the floor of the house. . He appointed me with out my v solicitation or without repre sentations on the part of my friends as far as I knew. He must have known the man he was appointing, and there has been no change in the man since. I am willing to let this matter rest with the people. I simply stood for the, right as I saw it. I have nothing to conceal from the people ; the records are there. 1 simply refused to sit in judgment on a case when the defend ant had not been given the opportune ty to be heard." . , Dr. J. M.

Dr. Driver Coming ,. Back and Dr. Ott also to Lecture. The success of course of lectures and entertainments given in Barton the past season under the auspices of the school, proves beyond question that when talent of the highest class is secured and the matter properly presented to our people, they not only support the course but like it and want it continued on that basis. Being confident on this point, and desirous of securing choice of talent and advan tageous datings, the committee has arranged a great series for next winter. About November first the course will open with a concert by the Maurer Sisters Concert company. This quartette of dainty entertainers come from South Bend, Indiana and have been a sensational success for four years in the best courses of the west They are instrumentalists of great ability, and offer solos for violin, flute, cornet and piano, and all of the different combinations such instrumen tation makes possible. They are clever singers too, and one of the young ladies adds much to the program with humorous readings and clever impersonations and stories. In early December there will be a concert by the Music Makers, one of tne nnest male quartettes on thei American platform. In their rendition of classic songs, songs with action and humorous numbers, they are inimita ble. The first tenor, Mr. Garrett, furnishes excellent solos on the saxa phone and Mr. Huff, the baritone, is an impersonator and humorist. The company is ccmpossd of cultured young men of unusual talent, who have been a reigning success for five years in the lyceum. One of the strongest instru mental features is their playing upon a large double myrimbaphone. a chromatic instrument whose tone is produced by striking felt hammers on tuned grenadilla wood bars, to which are attached aluminum resonators. The effect is much like a great harp ana the quartette play standard over tures and selections as well as daintier and more popular novelties. The committtee are especially pleased to announce Mr. Montaville Flowers in his enactment of Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol," one of the gems of English literature. No creator or portrayer of character has won such recognition as Dickens, and Mr. 1-jowers is also able m making eadj. cnaracter stana out with all . of its individuality that the hearer's interest is held from the first and the vivid heart story seems a present day reality. Mr. Flowers is by many, accorded the highest place among American interpreters and it is certain that this event will linger long with every hearer. Mr. Flowers has been, for two years past, president of the International Lyceum Association, composed of all the principal lyceum artists, about eight hundred in num ber, most of the managers, represen tatives and many committee men who are working for the extension ot the movement. This event coming about holiday time makes it most timelv.
