The annual meeting of the super
intendents of this county was held at
Irasburgh the 9TH inst. L. FL. Thomp-
son was chosen president of the meet
inc and Thomas Martin, secretary.
1t was voted that the written examin-
alton consist of ten questions on each
of the subjects, physiology, history,
geography, arithmetic and grammar
that the standard of qualification be
an average of seventy per cent on the
written examination, and no candi-
date who falls below fifty per cent on
any one of the subjects is to receive
a certificate. 1t was voted not to en-
dorse certificates the coming school
year. The spring examination is to
be held on Saturday, April 25th, and
the fall examination, Saturday, Octo-
Der 31st. L. HI. Thompson, Geo. S.
Chase and Thomas Martin were chOs-
a county examining board. 1t was
the opinion of several that the stand
ard should he placed at seventy-five
per cent instead of seventy.
The card of the Lyndon Savings
Bank of Lyndonville appears in this
issue. The fact that a large number
of young men at Lyndonville, and
other persons in the vicinity, had a
little money, either from their month
ly pay stipends, or otherwise, which
might and ought to be put at interest,
caused some of the substantial bust
ness men of that town to start saw
ings institution. 1t was thought af-
forwards that the point would be ia
vorable also for other localities in the
northern part of Caledonia county,
and perhaps Orleans, there being no
savings bank in that section and
hence arrangements were made to ex-
tend an invitation beyond the town
for deposits, and corporators were
named in the localities mentioned.
The office is located in the Lyndon
vile Bank rooms, where funds and
records can be safely kept in the
vault, and where the business can be
carried on with very little expense.
While the business is done in the ma
tional bank rooms, it is in no way
connected with the banking lnstitu-
ton. The corporators and officers
are well-knOwn and the business will
be managed with great care and econ
omy, and it is expected that the divi-
dends of the new savings bank will
equal those of any bank of the kind
in this part of the state. Since the
middle of January deposits have beer
made and loans effected to the sun
$25, 900. Information can be OBJ
tanned through the corporators an(
officers named.
