TEXT BOOK MEETING.

Delegates from the various County
Boards of Education met at Montpelier
Wednesday, Sept. 18th to consider the
question of state uniformity of school
books. This meeting was in accordance
with suggestions made by committee
of the Washington County Board of Ed
ucation and issued In the form of circu-
lar printed in some of the state papers
and mailed to the officers of the different
Boards. The meeting was held in the
Supreme Court room in the State House
and organized by the election of Mr..
Davenport as president and Rev. Mr..
Renslow secretary. Delegates were
present from every county and also such
prominent educators as Pres. Brainerd,
Prof. Cilley, Prof. Putney, Prin. Cohant.
Pin. Leavenworth and several other
principals of High Schools and Acade-
mics from various parts of the state.
Although at the beginning of the meet
ing il was supposed there was a very
strong feeling in favor of a vigorous at
tempt at state uniformity, during the
forenoon session il became evident that
there was not only much opposition TO
anything which looked like forcing the
different County Boards to adopt uni
IoTul list VI DuVhs. nul dlcn lhltt EcH-
eral feeling that state uniformity was
not matter Of first Importance even If
advisable at all. When the forenoon
session closed 1t looked as though no ia
yorable action would be taken In the
matter. At the afternoon session. how
even after much discussion resolution
was adopted calling foi the appointment
Of one member of each County Board to
meet at Montpelier as q state committee
TO consider the matter of text books and
to advise with and make suggestions to
the County Boards. This seemed to be
all that could be done at present in the
line of state uniformity. A resolution
was also passed favoring free text books.
This was offered by Prin. Ryder of Rock
ingham who spoke very favorably of
the results of free text books in that
town. The delegates selected by the
Orange County Board were j. y. Mallo-
ry, V. l. Spear and p. f. Grow. Mr..
Spear was not present at the meeting.
J. \. Mallory of Thetford was elected as
the member of the state committee from

skeleton of a man in the attic of the western

convicted of the murder of his brother.
1t seemed that the brother was very
wealthy and had brought a fabulous sum of
money with him, intending to invest it in
property IN the vicinity Of Greenbriar. The
wicked brother finding this out determined
TO have it at any price, and so took the mans
life, secreted the body IN the attic, and Civ
ing out that the victim had returned home.

After the discovery of the skeleton in the
