A Class of Teachers shut Out Under
the New Law.


Apropos to the discussion of the School
law, correspondent of the Messenger
adds the following choice bit of litera-
ture to the argument:
The following answers. copied from
the examination papers OF some unsuc-
cessful applicants for teachers certifi-
Gates at recent examination, may open
the eyes OF some people to the Ignorance
and stupidity OF individuals who had re-
ceived certificates from town superin-
tendents, these certificates having been
granted, probably, under vast amount
OF pressure. Some OF the authors OF
these brilliant answers had taught in the
schools OF the state for years, and would
probably be teaching in them to-day I'M
der the Town Superintendent system, as
it is notorious fact that no Town Super
intendent was ever yet found who was
strong enough, to resist the ,pleadings
and tears, the bullying or cajoling of
disappointed applicant and her relatives,
all OF whom, perhaps, are his nearest
nelghbors and his best friends.
If any one doubts-as every one who
knows anything will-that these answers
were ever written, as stated, he is re-
ferred to the office of the Supervisor of
the county, where he may see them fresh
from the pencil OF the authors. The
spelling is copied precisely.

Manchester Centre.

This invitation was sent out by J. E.
Nc Naughton of this place to all res
idents of Manchester more than 10 years
of age:
"You are invited 70 meet at the house
of j. Z. Nc Naughton of Barnumville in
Manchester, Thursd ay November 0, 1890,
for a social visit and renewal of old
acquaintance. Dinner at p. M
The morning of Thursday opened
beautifully. About a. M, the carriages
commenced vending their way towards
the residence of Mr.. Nc Naughton. At
l O'Clock eighty old people, all residents
of Manchester and all past 20 years of
age, were seated at the tables. The Rev.
Joseph ID. Wickham, the oldest living
graduate of Yale college, wearing his 93
years with ease and with well preserved
physical and mental powers, sat at the
head of the table. At his left sat his
noble and. intelligent wife of so years,
and at his right sat Mrs. Eliza Mears, a
sprightly old lady Of ~ years, who gets
in and out carriage without assistance.
At her side sat "Aunt" Anna Bourne, 90
years old, but a few weeks younger than
DIR. Wickham. Then there was the
venerable Joseph Hicks, 80 years of age,
and now living on the farm one mile
from Manchester Centre, where he was
born and of which his grandfather held
title by deed dated over one hundred
years ago. On each side of the table sat
men and women of so years and over;
then came those of 20 to so, until all
were seated. Many enlivening remarks
were made and old acquaintance re-
pewed during the dinner hour and OBJ
servers were delighted with the flashes
of wit and the evident feeling of
pleasure that pervaded the hearts of
those present.
The company, including help and
companions of the old people, numbered
100. A great deal of credit is due Mr..
and Mrs. Theodore Swift, Mr.. and Mrs.
d. X. Simonds, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A.
Adams, Mrs. Baker Wilson and Mrs.
Albert Gilmore for rich contribution
of ancient music. "Old Greenwich"
written by Read in 1893; compliant"
by Parmenter, l79li "New jerusalem"
by ingalls,, 1922 "Delight," by COan,
1901, funeral anthem by Billings, 1904,
and Others were sung with such pathos
and inspiration that glow of awakened
memories spread over the wrinkled
faces until tears Of pleasure filed their
aged eyes.
This unusual gathering was a grand
success and fully accomplished the
object sought by Mr.. Nc NaughtOn,
which was to tighten the gloom that
gathers around the aged and infirm, and
1t is to be hoped that this movement
may have its anniversary and many of
them. Many peculiar features were
noticed at the gathering. Four brothers
and sisters of the Hicks family sat at
the table at the same time: the oldest,
Joseph, is so, and the youngest, Lois, 10.
Another feather was that there are more
people living in Manchester that were
born In 1872, than in any year from 1906
to 1920, the list showing twelve, and two
not on the list at the gathering,
making fourteen In town, born In 1919.
After the dinner was over the aged
company repaired TO the front of the
residence where an artist made photo
graph of the company.

Shelburn Farms,

In the Sunday Press of New York we
find the following, which is of interest
TO Vermonters:
DIR. Seward Webb, president of the
Wagner Palace Car Company, is fitting
up park after the English fashion al
Shelburn, on Lake Champlain. He has
bought the miles Of farms along the
borders Of the lake that formerly consti.
tuted the village of Shelburn, and Is
spaFing neither time nor expense in fit
ting up the place in manner that will
render 1t one Of the most artistic spots
on the continent,
The place is still in an unfinished con-
ditlon, owing to the fact that with true
Yankee shrewdness and an eye TO busi-
ness, the Shelburnites, put the price of
land at marvelOusly high figures lust as
soon as DR.. Webb's intention TO purchase
the place was known TO be q surety, Old
tumble down farm houses became rs val.
liable as the new cottages in the vicinity.
and 1t took DR.. Webb long time to set
tie the affixed values and the affeotionate
memories of old homesteads on a modern
cash basis, for even after this the posses
sors Of said homesteads and memories
were reluctant to vacate. 1t is safe to
say that DIR. Webb has paid well for his
property.
Three hundred men are now employed
on the place-Yankees, Canadians and
Swedes: SeveHty-hye are carpenters,
forty are masons and forty-fiye are team.

are twelve pOtters with their families.
who live on the place; there are clerl s,
oyerseers, servants and laborers among
the number,
At the entrance Of this park, which
DIR. Webb has called 6helburp Farms,
stands gatekeeper's lodge Of rough
hewn stone. The roads are gFayeled,
smooth and hard about the place, and
the wide lawns are dotted here and there
by gothic and queerly gabled dwellings
and other buildings.
The first large building that one no.
tices is large square barn with q court
in the center and high turret, in which |
a large clock is placed at one corner. |
