The Duty of Parents to schools.

Under the heading of 'Of interest to
Parents" Prof. Peck of the Poultney
public schools makes few statements
that are of universal application, as fol-
lows: "There is an idea prevalent in the
world that the best school is the e con-
corning which we hear the least, aud that
the best teacher is the one that calls forth
no criticism and perhaps no commenda-
ton. We believe this sentiment radi-
cally wrong-that the best results, that
the best school can only be obtained
through the combined efforts of pupil,
parent, committee and teacher, working
as a unit for a common end.
"Our prudential committee and teach
ers, here in Poultney, we believe, are
earnestly striving to make our school a
success. Parents are aiding us, but we
need more help from them. The first
and principal way in which We ask you
to assist us is in securing more regular
attendance. No one thing vitiates to SO
great a degree the efforts of teacher or
indeed of whole class as irregular at
tendance by one member of that class.
The effect upon the absentee is even
worse. A missed lesson can never be
made up. One brick will always be miss
ing to make the structure complete. A
far higher grade of intelligence is de-
manded of man in any position in life
than was demanded in the same occupa-
ton fifty years ago. Fifty years from
now the man with little or no education
will be completely distanced in the race
of life. Competition becomes sharper
each day.
Awaken, parents, to your dutyl The
teachers stand ready to devote their
time, their talents, their energies, even
themselves that your children may be
prepared when life's duty summons
them. Let your interest be even greater.
Allow no trivial excuse to keep your
child from school. That the pupil shall
try to make our school one of the best
requires the placing of a constant incen-
tive before him. To this end we have a
system o. merits in the three lower
rooms of the school. We would lie
glad to have parents ask their children
each night if they obtained these merits.
Show them you are interested, and their
interest will be doubled"

The Old First Church, tastefully dec
GRATED with plants and flowers, was the
scene of beautiful wedding Wednesday
afternoon. Mr.. Jacob Egbert, with the
Gorham Manufacturing Company, New
York. and Miss Catharine Beach Har-
rington of Columbus, Ohio, daughter of
the late Col. George D. Harrington, were
the contracting parties. The religious
ceremony was performed by Rev. James
L. Harrington, brother of the bride,
using the beautiful marriage service of
the Episcopal church.
The bridal cortege moved up the
broad aisle of the church, to the lovely
music of wedding march, eXquisitely
played by Mrs. Geo. W. Keeseman upon
the new church organ, preceded by the
ushers, Messrs. r. H, Egbert, E. Palmer
Boughton, E. j. Hall, j. r. Tillinghast,
Jr., followed by the maid of honor, Miss
Cornelia Maltby of Waterbury, Conn,
graceful and dignified, in lovely dress
and hat, in the color of the occasion,
orange-yellow. The lovely bride
came next, leaning upon the arm of her
brother, Mr.. VIM. G. Harrington of
Columbus, Ohio (who afterwards gave
her away, and was received by the hap
Ply and expectant groom at the chancel.
All brides are beautiful, but none more
so than this one, with dress of white and
long veil of tulle, carrying beautiful
bouquet. As the united couple left the
church, good wishes filled the hearts of
every one in the large audience of loving
friends.
a reception Immediately followed the
ceremony, at the "Tichenor Place." the
residence of Mrs. George Lyman, was
largely attended and much enjoyed. An
elegant repast was furnished. The we'd
ding presents were numerous and valLa-
BILE. The weather was suspicious and
everything seemed to combine to render
the occasion delightful, and we hope the
whole life of our worthy young friends,
may be as bright and CHEEKY as its COM
mencemet. May it be theirs to say:
SLOW lightly falls the foot of time,
That only treads on flowers "
They left town on the 5:15 train, desti-

Graded School Temperance Instruction.
1t is thought by many that there is no
more important branch of educational

The law requires that it shall be taught
as branch OF study in the public

this purpose, and teachers are required
to give the instruction, and they do it, as
a rule. thoroughly and conscientiously.

Inc bennington COIumn ana Expenses.
General Greenleaf of Burlington, who
was chief marshal Cd the occasion of the
recent Bennington celebration, reports,
from actual count, that there were So
different organizations in the marching
column, with twelve bands and six drum
corps. In round numbers there were
1900 troops, 600 Cheveliers attached to
Cantons of Odd Fellows, 400 Knights
Templar, 500 Grand Army Veterans,
etc., and 10S carriages, the total number
of people aggregating but ten less than
$500. tits safe to say that the parade
was the most promiscuous, elegant, and
best organized of anything of the kind
ever attempted in the State.
State Treasurer Field reports that the
bills, which the State has or must pay in
connection with the celebration, have
been audited by the State commission
and that they do not exceed $4,000
from which very reasonable sum there
will be rebate from the sale of lumber,
etc. The largest item is for the banquet,
which cost $500, the cost of carriages
coming next in order. These figures do
not, of course, include the cost of the
encampment of State militia, as that
could not legitimately be charged as
cele bration expense, for the encamp-
ment would have been holden anyway,
and the expense at Bennington was not
appreciably enhanced over what it would
have been anywhere else. The total cost
of encampment and celebration, to the
State and individuals, was not over
$50, 900, of which the State will be called
on to pay probably not exceeding one
third. For such a stupendous affair,
and one to which Vermonters can here
after point with pardonable pride, this
outlay is remarkably small.-St. Adams
Messenger
