Thls was tho onlv Innmrtnm

Aldermon Thomas and FHzirfirnifi

OX AVIATION.
.Mr. Wcbber GItps Talk nt jreetliif? of
Fortnlgktcrs.
Forty young people attended the
meetlng of the Fortnlghters of Chrlst
church last night. A short talk on
"Avlatlon" by Mr. AVebber proved
very interesting and a song and re-
cltatlon by Mrs. S. S. Ballard was
hlghly entertalnlng.
The program of amusements ar-
ranged by tho commlttee in charge
was enjoyed by all.
The next meetlng will take placo
Thursday evening, Decembor 2'J,
and the commlttee on arrangements
will conslst of Robert Blanpled, Miss
Eleanor I-owe and Miss Marlon
Balley.
Whnt's a Senl?
"Mamma, what's ' a seal?'' asked
elght-year-old Mary, looklng up
from tho paper, whoso black head
lines she was laborlously declpher
lng. "A seal is a little anlmal that llves
In tho ocean. We use its fur for coats
and wraps," was the enllghtening
answer of tho parent.
Mary puckered her brow for eome
minutes, and agaln interrogated,
Mamma, will eeals stop plagues?"
referring perhaps to somo of tho Bi
bllcal narratlves sho had heard told
in Sunday School.
"Stop plagues! Why, chlld, what
are you talklng about? crled tho mo
ther ln amazement.
"Why hero it says, "Bed Croes
Seals Stop Wliito Plaguo'," trlumph
antly holding up tho paper.
Then mamma explalned to her llt-
tlo glrl that tho Red Cross Seal is a
tlny stamp-llko etlcker which is plac-
cd on tho back of lettors and pack
agos comlng from Santa Claus and
othors. Every seal coets a penny, and
every penny penny goes to flght and
curo consumptlon, whlch is tho real
namo of tho white plague, and whlch
Is an awful slckness. Mamma told hor
of a little glrl In thelr own nelghbor-
hood who had consumptlon, but who
was given a chance to get well bo-
cauee tho peoplo had bought Red
Crosa Seals.
Mary Hstened attcntlvoly, and fln-
ally touchcd by tho closoness of tho
appeal, eald, "Mamma, I think I'd ra
thor havo Bomo of thoso seals than a
new dolly."

Tho December meetlng of tho Wo
nmn's club took placo laet ovenlng at
Kellogg-Hubbard llbrary ln chargo
of tho muslc departmcnt. Thero was
a Iargo attendanco and Mrs. G. H.
Smlllo preslded, glvlng tho chalr to
Mrs. F. II. Puffer of tho muslc
vlepartment after a brief buslness
meetlng.
An cxcellent program was rcndcr
ed, each number belng Inslstently en
cored. Mrs. Louis Badord and Mrs.
K. U. Cleavcs played a charmlng
duut,, "Duo Dramatlque" by Vilbac
whlch mado a most approprlate over
ture after whlch Miss Virglnla Petor
of the Semlnary sang "Slavo Song'"
by Teresa Del Rlego, and "Lovc's
'Phllosophy" by Sholloy. MlssPetor
was ln hor usual exccllent volco and
the pathetlc longlng of tho slavo soug
was admirably lntorpreted. Sho sang
for an encore "Slnce We Parted."
A feature of tho evening was the
dlfflcult Rubensteln number, "Mod
erato and Andante," opus 51, by
Mrs. Cleaves at the plano, Harold
Haylet, vlollnist and Lyle Perry,
celllst. The renderlng was faultlees
and tho modulation of instruments
flawless. Mrs. W. E. Terrlll ln
Italian costume gave a plcturesque
number ln that dlalect whlle Miss
Peter sang an Italian air and the num
ber was concluded wlth a graceful
dance by Mrs. Terrlll and Miss Eda
Piccloll ln costume.
Thls was one of the most plc
turesque numbers on tho program and
the dancers were obllgcd to repeat
the number. Mrs. Terrlll's other
number was equally pleaslng when
dressed In the garb of "Aunt Phoe
be" she gave a monologue.
Mr. Perry rendered Grieg's "Son-ata-Andante,"
the rlch mellow tones
of the cello respondlng to hls fam
lliar touch and hc played a llght,
rlppllng number as an encore.
Miss Peter sang the favorlte Gar
den Songs by Herman Lohr, respond
lng to an encore and Mrs. Cleaves,
Mcssrs. Perry and Haylett con
cluded the program wlth Arensky's
"Adagio." The program was one of
the most enjoyable held under Wo
man's club management and the mu
slcal department of the organlzation
was enabled to give the members of
the general club a treat.

Ycry Modcrntc Trlcc.
A short tlmo ago Governor Mead
appointed a commlttee conslstlng of
Commlssloner of Agriculturo O. L.
Martln, and T. G. Bronson of East
Hardwick nnd II. L. Hatch of Straf
ford, members of tho prcscnt legls
lature, to purchase property at Ran
dolph on or near tho locatloniof the
old Normal school for tho locatlon
of tho proposed Stato Agricultural
school As n result tho commlttee
has bought 90 ncrcs of land for tho
state, lncludlng tho Maplowood ho
tel, furnished completely for a sum
mor hostolery and a fcw outbulld
ings. Slxty-flvo ncres of the land is
varlablo tlllage adjolnlng tho Nor
mal school and hotel sltcs, tho school
and hotel belng on adjolnlng lots,
and tho balanco of the land ls a
25 acro pasture, about half of whlch ls
covered wlth growlng tlmber.
The commlttee has also obtalned a
permanent lease of the Normal school
buildlng, whlch 16 a large and well
arranged structure, bullt about 12
years ago.
Thls locatlon ls the best and most
deslrable and has a street frontage
of between 30 and 40 rods. There
are many large shadc and frult trees
and the frounds can easlly bo made
very attractlve wlth room for the
erectlon of other bulldlngs as tlmo
goes on.
Tho commlttee arranged wlth Mrs.
Julla A. Stono of Barre, Luke Par
lsh of Randolph, Georgo A. Hart of
Boston and Judgo Boyden of Ran
dolph, the ownors of tho property so
that the State acqulred tltlo a a
moderate prlce, tho entlre cost
amountlng to about ?10,000.
The Normal school year does not
closo untll the month of July but
it is underetood the trustees propose
that the agricultural school lp readl
ness for the fall term of 1911.
It is proposed to use the Maple
wood hotel for dormltory and board
Ing house purposes and it is practi-
cally furnlshed and equlpped for that
purpose, although some mlnor re
palrs may be necessary.
The present Normal school, whlch
is now ln the hands of the State
Board of Educatlon, will pass to the
hands of the trustees of the new
agricultural school on July 1, 1911,
and will be used for instructlon pur
poses. It has an excellent and well
equlpped chemlcal laboratory and
furnacee and all modern conven
iences. The lease of the Normal school
carries no expense to the State ex-
cept for maintenance and repalrs,
and includes the income from a
school fund of about $10,000. The
school ls now known as the Gram-
mar and Normal school and the fund
cannot bo used for any other pur
post than thls school so lt naturally
goes wlth the lease.
It is generally believed that tho
proposed school ls only the begin
nlng of what will be accompllshed in
tralning the young men of tho State
to tlll the soll. For a number of
years the great cry has been that
Vermont was not doing what she
should do to keep the farmers' sons
on the farms and prevent them from
golng lnto the cltles and the new
school will certalnly bo a step in
the right dlrectlon.
Agriculture is one of Vermont's
greatest resources and the openlng of
an agricultural schol indlcates that
lt is not golng to bo neglected.
