THE CANADA ATLANTIC


Word comes from Ottawa that the Cana

the lake al iacolle. a few miles below
Rouses Point, and SO bring their main bus
mess into Vermont 10y way of AlbWgh,
which will of course largely increase the
business of the Central Vermont road. II is
also stated that the bridge across the ST. Law
renee river at Coteau du Lac will be built
rapidly as possible. This will he the only
low level bridge and draw on the st. Law
renee, and if will place the road in a condi-
ton to handle its rapidly increasing business
with greater ease and facility.
This road will be an important outlet for
the Canadian Pacific aud especially for the
500 route.
In connection with the above statement it
is noted chat largo amounts of Canadian
products are being shipped through Vermont

THE BILLINGS LIBRARY.



Early in the coming season an addition of
"a feet will be made TO the north end of the
Billings library. The walls will have this
full additional length, but the roof will be
hipped, making the ridge only two feet
longer than at present. The total length Of
the extended front will be 1870 feet BY this
change the outlines of the north and south
ends will be brought into harmony, while
the quiet and serious character of the editice
will be even more fully sustained than now.
The general outlines will converge toward
the central features, the tower and the
arched entrance to which the eye will

the building. In the interior the same gen

will be continued through the extension.
Ten additional alcoves will be gained in the
book room, aifording shelf space for about
5000 volumes
These changes will be made in accordance
with the wishes, and are the result of the
personal studies of Mr.. Billings, who has
always felt that the architectural effect of
the library would be greatly improved
by the extension of that part
of the building which should always

The Duty Of the People, Under tho
New School Law.

An experienced legislator and prominent
friend of education and of many other good
causes, calls attention, in the columns of
the Woodstock Stdndord to the grave re
sponsibility which rests upon the voters,
under the new school law. We copy his
communication and ask for his suggestions
the serious heed which their importance de
mands. AS pointed out by the writer
whose name if he had chosen to give 1t
would have added weight to his articlc-the
success or failure of the new plan depends
in great measure upon the county super
vsors. If the right men are put
in these places we shall soon see,
under their watchful and intelligent
supervision, marked Improvement
in the schools. If these SUPERVISOR
ships are filled with inefficient, crratic on
inexperienced men, the whole scheme will
fail. The supervisor should be man of
education. of public spirit and of enthusi-
assn. He should command the respect and
confidence of the teachers and of the com
munitv, and have force of character enough
to make himself felt for good and tact
enough not to attempt impoSsibilitics. 1t
SHOULD be no reason for selecting man as
supervisor that he wants the Office. Unfit
men for the position are not unlikely to pre-
sent themselves. These should he set on one
side and the best man in the county for the
place should he chosen.
As the supervisors will he elected by the
county boards of education. it is all impor
tant that the towns should shoose first rate
men for the members Of tho board The
tendency will I've strong to select county
supervisor from among the members Of tie
clcctiug board. II the county board OF ed
ucation contains the right man, this will he
all right: but the boards should beware how
they limit themselves to a choice from then
own number. They ought, as we have said.
TO take the best man that can be got for the
place, in the county, wherever they can find
hm. We trust that the people will realize
their own responsibility. This is their mat
ter. the schools are for them and their chill
drcn. and it is for them to say. 10y their
action. whether the new method shall be a
success or whether it shall he time, thought

Four years ago the University of Yer
mont and State Agricultural college in
auguratoI winter course Of lectures TO
farmers, designed primarily to meet the
wants of Young men who are unable to take
Il tail college course in agriculture, but who
realize that knowledge Of the principles of
scientific agriculture is indispensable to in
teligcnt farming. In practice, i. has been
found that such instruction is equally inter
e,ting and valuable to the man of many
years experience in practical farming, and
the class has numbered many experienced
farmers and gray headed men among its
most active members The lectures have
been a marked success: have been attended
by classc, of increasing numbers and have
been found exceedingly helpful and valuable
by all who have awaited themselves of the
course. The announcement of the fifth
course which opens next Tuesday. appears

will he seen, comprises some eminent names
in their respective specaltics. The course
will be th- best one of it, kind ever given in
the State. and We commend it to the atten-
