ACADEMY NEWS The annual academy banquet W3S held at the new gymnasium on Wed nesday, Dec. 30. About 90 alumni were present. At the close of a well I Ci"fTiH Konnnf Vf i ft - ftI nwir T ,T f h J , as toastrnaster, introduced the speak ers of the evening. Miss Root's own address was a very interesting sketch of the history of the academy, which, she said was founded in '1829. In 2839 Rev- Samuel Read was principal with fo ur assistSnts. He was also the pas tor of the Congregational church and state geologist for several years. At least six of his books are in the library, and a geography written by him was used as a text book in our schools about fifty years ago. He owned some land on the Black river which is now known as the "Hall place. The school numbered 125 pupils who come from 24 different towns. These were; Lowell, Greens boro, Coventry, Thornton, Hardwick. Walden, Glover, Stowe, Craftsbury, Randolph, Albany, Lowell, Mass.. - Boston, Potion, L. C, Orford. N .H., St. Johnsbury, Irasburg. Burlinsrton. : Cambridge, Orwell, Huntington, Troy, and fcssex, Conn. The pupils names, residences, and the places where they roomed were given in the catalogue. Twenty-one lived with Mr. Pierce in a house where the academy now stands. They could obtain board for $1 or $1.50 per week including fuel, washing, and room. They were required to bring their own light, either candles or whale oil lamps, of which it was said, "these do not injure the eyes as kerose e does." The' pupils were required to attend church service twice on Sun day. There1 were two churches in this village then; the Congregational, and the Methodist which stood where Mr. Willey's wheelwright shop now stands. The remarks about the academy con tained in the catalogue are very inter esting and would be appropriate for the present time; "The academy is bcated in a pleasant and retired vil lage, noted for its salubrity of climate and , beauty1 of natural scenery. The s udent is removed from the noise and bustle of a", large village and not ex posed to temptations and allurements from his business." Supt. of Schools Clarence Cowles was called upon to speak on the subject, "Tne Academy in the Town." He an nounced that a bill was likely to be in troduced in the next legislature provid i )g for the establishment of junior high schools which would consist of pupils of the present 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. Dr. Dustan speaking on the future of ' the academy urged its re sponsibility in preparing students for successful and honest living, and men tioned the advisability or giving stu dents a good training in agricultural science to prepare them for successful farming. Miss Mary Simpson .was called upon to speak for the absent al umni. She emphasized the debt of gratitude Owed 'the: academy Jby, the many graduates now. scattered -over thirty states and foreign countries. In her opinion this school while teaching students Low to make a living teaches them also how to live. After; a Christ mas reading by Miss Ruth Heidger now studying in Boston, the toast master introduced Arthur C. Cole for merly principal of the academy who has recently returned from India where he has been professor in a college. He told a very interesting experience he had in attempting to enter the English Parliament last summer s in order to hear Sir Edward Grey's famous war speech. He dwelt at some length on the righteousness and fairness of En glish rule in her, colonies throughout the world, stating that it is civil as op posed to military rule. Fred Root toasted the gymnasium, Miss Duckies the class of 1914, and "Mr. Shields spoke for the Trustees. Mr. Anderson i furnished violin music of a hio-h ordpr. The following officers were elected for the year; president, Mary Simpson, vice-president Fred Root, secretary Mabelle Hathaway, treasurer Clarence Urie, ex. committee, Abbie Keeler, Katie Pike, Mary Dnstan, Edmund Root, Hollis Lathe, George Dunn. The oldest living alumnus of this academy is Mrs. Ellen Lee Osgood of California who studied here in 1840, 1 75 years ago. Bo Better House Dresses - f ? 98c. . ;. Wrappers i; ; 1 75c.

Dy Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union A broad campaign of. publicity on the subject of rural life is needed in this state today to bring the problems of the farmers to the forefront. The city problems are blazoned upon the front pages, of the metropolitan dail ies and echoed ia the country press, but the troubles of the farmers are seldom told, except by those who seek to profit by the story, and the glitter of the package ofttimes ob scures the substance. A searching in vestigation into the needs of tjae farmers will reveal many inherent de fects in our economic system that can be easily remedied when properly un derstood and illuminated by the pow er of the press. The rural press, the pulpit and the school are a trinity of .powerful in fluences that the farmer must utilize to their fullest capacity before he can occupy a commanding position in pub lic affairs. These gigantic agencies are organised in every rural community and only await the patronage and co operation of the farmers .to fully de velop their energy and usefulness. They are local forces working for the best interests of their respective communities, heir work is to build and their cbject is to serve. They prosper only through the development and prosperity of the community. Every farmer in this state should subscribe for the local paper, as well as farm periodicals and such other publications as he may find profitable, but he should by all means subscribe for his local paper, and no home should be without it. The local paper is part of the community life and the editor understands the farmer's prob lems. It is the local press that will study the local problems and through its columns deal with subjects of most vital importance to local life of the community. A Noble Task. In too many instances the country papers mimic the city press by giv ing prominence to scandals, accidents and political agitation. The new rural civilization has placed upon the rural press renewed responsibilities, and enlarged possibilities for useful nets. It cannot perform its mission to agriculture by recording the frail ties, the mishaps and inordinate am bitions of humanity, or by filling its columns with, the echoes of the strug gles of busy streets, or by enchanting stories of city life which lure our children from the farm. It has a higher and nobler task. Too often the pages of the city dailies bristle with the struggle of ambitious men in their wild lust for power, and many times the flames of personal conflict sear the tender buds of new civilization and illuminate the path way to destruction. The rural press is the governing power of public senti ment and must hold steadfast to principle and keep, the ship of state in the roadstead of progress. The rural press can best serve the inter ests of the farmers by applying its energies to the solution of problems affecting , the local community. It must stem the mighty life current that is moving from the farm to the cities, sweeping before it a thousand boys and girls per day. It has to deal with the,, fundamental problems of , civilization at their fountain head. Its mission is to direct growth,' teach ef ficiency and mold the, intellectual life of the country, placing before the pub lic the daily problems of the farmers and giving first attention to the leg islative, co-operative, educational and social needs of the agricultural classes within its respective community. " The Power of Advertising. The influence of advertising is clear ly visible in' the homes and habits of the farmers, and the advertising col umns of the press are making their imprint upon the lives of our people. The farmer possesses the things that axe best advertised. The farmer is entitled to all the advantages and deserves all the lux uries of life. We need more art, sci ence and useful facilities on the farms, and many homes and farms are well balanced in this respect, but the advertiser cari" render a service by teaching the advantages of modern equipment throughout the columns of the rural press. The farmers are in need of personal leadership. They have political lead ers, but they need local industrial community and educational leaders. you Meed GROCERIES 4 package Corn Flakes at 3 l Rainine at 2 lbs.
