''Thc census OF 1860 as we'll as that
of 1870 and 1880 demonstrates fact
which ought to he source of pride to
every Vermonter, and that is that the
Green Mountain State is the greatest
colonizer of any state in the union.
Fully 42 per cent, or nearly one-half
the people born in Vermont are resi-
dents of other states. Exchange.
1t is indeed matter of pride that
one-half the people born in a state
leave it as soon as they are able to go.
But is it not cause of regret rather
that that Vermont is not able to fur.
nish inducements for her enterprisine
sons to settle within her borders, for il
is that class who incline to go? 1t is
an important question how to keer
live, active and intelligent men as wei
as to raise them.

The steady growth of Island Pond
having made it necessary to furnish
greater school facilities, the School
Board, early this summer, made their
plans for remodelling and enlarging
the high school building. The con-
tract for the work was awarded to Mr..
8. NJ. Harmon, and included all that
has been done except putting in the
furnaces and repairing the outbuild-
ings, but this last mentioned has also
been done under the charge of MFR.
Harmon. The building was first
turned quarter way around, and then
moved back some fifty feet. This left
it on very sloping ground and by put
ting in some good stone work on the
north and east sides afforded an ex-
cellent chance for a good basement,
which has been made under the entire
building, thus making q large wood
room and location for two new fur.
naces, one of which heats the school.
rooms on the first floor, and the other
the rooms on the second floor. Com
ing up from the basement, we find
what was formerly two small rooms
made into one large one, while what
was the stairway and wood room Ina:
been made into a large schoolroom
which is furnished with set of new
folding seats. On the second floor the
old cloak room and stairway are con
verted into recitation room, while
the schoolroom itself is not materially
changed. In the centre and front o
the building has been built a towe
twelve feet square and three store
high, which gives space for the neces
sary stairways and cloak rooms ant
also for bell. The grounds in from
are being graded and will make al
excellent play ground. The work ha
been done thoroughly and in gooC
shape, and we now have schoolhous,
adapted to the demands upon it. /
Is estimated that the total cost OF the
REPAIRS will he about 81 600.

MRS. HARRIETTE GONYA.

Mrs. Harriette Gonya was born in
Quebec in the year 1912, married there
to Jean Baptiste Gonya September 5,
1882, and was buried at Island Pond
after long residence here on Septem-
Der 5, 1885, the fifty-third anniversary
of her wedding. The excellent and
womanly qualities exhibited in the
unpretending and modest character OF
the deceased inclines us to moments
recognition due to them. In the pres
ence of death we are inclined to feel
and act honestly. Many times we
show respect for the departed in obedi-
ence to conventional rules of society
at other times from feelings of per.
sonal friendship; and again we do
homage to the dead out of pure and
just respect for the character Of the
deceased. The subject of this sketch
went from the walks of humble life
respected by such considerations and
many more. The kind and humane
life she lived distinguished her from
almost every other woman our com.
munity has ever lost. Her natural
kindness of heart and deep sympathy
with the sick and afflicted led he,
many times to beds of sickness when
the cares and wants of large family
rendered her going almost too great a
sacrifice to be entirely consistent. Ir
the midst of these cares and kindly
offices her steps were suddenly ar
rested and her cheerful voice is silent
The procession has passed and the las
rites are over; passed with no pomI
or show and no Wanting of her vir
tues. But deep in the hearts of many
are plea SAINT recollections of he
cheerful manners in life, her charity
for al, and her generous and womanl,
exertions for neighborly peace anC
welfare. Standing aloof from imperti
nent lneddling with the affairs of 9th
ers, her quick ear caught any call 70
help, to which she always responded
regardless of personal consequences
Many today stand by her grave, VIII,
owe their own and many of thei
children's lives to her care, witt
hearts filed with quiet, tender grief
and in tears of gratitude to her t
whose quiet resting place come the liv
ing with unmistakable tokens Of tn
purest, truest, and most sincere regre
for her departure, and the warmes
gratitude for her kindly life. To be S
truly and pleasantly remembered is
fortune denied to kings. 1t ought
reconcile the living to her death, fo
under its seal these memories are 81
cured to her forever.

I'VE are in receipt of communica-
ton from East Charleston relative to
the appointment of DIR. Cushman as
postmaster there. AS two communi-
cations have already been published
on this subject, and as there seems to
be some little personal feeling about
the appointment, we deem it best to
stop the correspondence as far as these
columns are concerned. We would
also add that DIR. Cush,nan, accom-
panied by Mr.. S. c. Streeter, called at
the HERALD Office last week and posi-
lively denied that he was ever Re-
publican, and Mr.. Streeter was equally
positive of the doctors loyalty to de-
mocracy and its doctrines.-ED.

College Expenses.
Harvard Crimson.

Although the difference in the amount
of money which students at different
colleges spend is very great, there is
not such disparity in the necessary
expenses as many people suppose. At
the city colleges, such as Harvard,
Yale, and Columbia, the necessary an
nual expenses may be 500 more than
at Amherst, Dartmouth, or Williams
but this slight increase is more than
counterbalanced by the aid which the
larger colleges offer to INDECENT STU
dents. Harvard has at her disposal 122
scholarships, varying in amount from
SIS to $3.50, averaging about S225.
In the Freshman year there are two as
signments made, and it is possible for
hard student to receive 5000 in scholar
ships during his first year-a sum more
than sufficient to pay all his expenses.
Here aid is given to students who are
needy, and who stand high in their
classes; but in almost all other colleges
those who intend to study for the uni
versity are the favored ones, and at
some colleges it is impossible for any
others to receive the slightest assistance.
Room rent, board, and tuition are the
principal items in the necessary expen-
ses and of these room rent varies the
most. At Amherst, student pays $40
to SI25 for single room; at Williams,
S25 to SIoo; at Yale, $50 to $I4o; !;
while at Harvard the rent varies all the
way from S44 to 5000, with very few
desirable rooms for less than $3.50. OF
course, if two students room together
the expense is reduced one-half. The
difference in.the second item, board, is
not nearly so great, the large numbers
at the city colleges rendering co-opera-
ton much easier, and enabling the STU
dents to procure better board at less
cost. 1t is possible to get as good
board for 81 week here at Memorial
Hall as could be got at Amherst or any
other college for S. or Sc. Tuition
ranges all the way from SI2 per year
at Oberlin, Ohio, to $500 at Columbia ;
at Brown, Bowdoin, Princeton, and
Williams, it is SIS; at Amherst, SIoo ;
at Yale, $40, and at Harvard, $3.50.
By adding to the main items of expense
other necessary items such clothing.
fuel, washing, books, etc., we can ar
rive at what may be called the mini
mum expense at the various colleges.
Statistics have been carefully prepared
at this point, and the following may be
said to be the very least annual expen
diture which will carry a student through
the several colleges: Harvard, S475
Yale, S4a5; Amherst, Williams, ant
other colleges of the same stamp, abou
$375.
