West BrattlebOrO.

SOMETHING ABOUT SCHOOL MATTERS.
Mr. Editor, Hearing that the voters of
the west village are to meet soon to discuss
the school needs of that district through
your columns l wish to speak to said voters a
word or two. 1t certainly is not credtable
to the enterprise of so well-to-do village as
West Brattleboro that its district school house
should be in such ruinous condition. One
naturally judges of the general intelligence of
a community by its educational appoint
ments. Where he beholds neat, comfortable
and well-kept houses for teaching his reason
able and correct conclusion must be that the
people, in whose midst they may be, prize a
good education. l trust that our West Brat
tleboro friends will not rest content with the
substantially sad criticism of the dilapidated
building they call their district school house.
1t should be clearly obvious to all of them
that new and commodious building is need
ed at once, and that too containing two
rooms, one for the smaller and one for the
older scholars. My observation as town sup
erintendent has taught me most clearly these
two immediate needs in the district named,
and that the latter is as important and press
ing as the former. There is too much for
any one teacher to do in this school, however
faithfully that teacher may toll but with an
instructor for the little ones, and another for
the older pupils, good work can be done.
hope the people of the West village will not
prove themselves 'penny-wise and pound
foolish" in this matter.

ANOTHER DANGEROUS BALLOON VOYAGE

ANOTHER DANGEROUS BALLOON VOYAGE
On Oct. 10, Prof. King and j. G. Has hagen
of the Chicago signal service corps assembled
in balloon from Chicago. They were not
heard from for eight days, and fears were
entertained that they were dead but ON Fri
day, Oct. 21, word came that they were safe.
During that time the two intrepid air-voy-
ayers accomplished one of the most extraord-
mary trips on record. After a continuous
flight of fully 500 miles, the balloon and its
occupants landed on the Flambeau river, in
the swamps of Wisconsin, sixty-five miles
from Chippewa Falls, the nearest point
where communication with the outside world
was possible. Two days were passed before
a human habitation could be reached. The
descent was made Friday night, Oct. IA, and
the succeeding forty-eight hours were passed
in wearisome struggle through the swamps
before striking lumberman's camp. After
that the way was easier, but the Ave days
tramp to civilization was anything but an en-
viable one.
