Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1879-08-11


The public spirit, generosity and prompt
itude which the community showed in
contributing for its erection at time
when the pressure of hard times was felt |
by all, is worthy of the highest praise
and commentator and it is earnestly |
hoped that the anticipated advantages
to the school and the community, in
consequence of the new building, and
other especial efforts will be fully real
lied. We trust that the town in general
will feel that the character and success
of the Academy is part of the towns
history; that what affects the one for
good or i'll, also affects the other, and
that it will take genuine interest in
whatever tends to promote its prosperity.
