country. The students have come from
every New England state, from IS other
states and territories, Quebec and Nova
Scotia. Evidence of the extended influ-
ence of the school is furnished by the
fact that 50 per cent of the whole num-
Der of students for the year ending June,
1890, came from other states.
The buildings already up are Jones
hall, named for Charles l.. Jones and
used as the girls dormitory; Farnsworth
hall, named in honor of Hon. John A.
Farnsworth, the donor, who lives in Sax
tons River, used for a boys dormitOry
Fuller hall, named for Col. Fuller, con-
tanning recitation and society rooms and
the chapel; Proctor hall, named for Joel
Proctor of Bolton, Mass, used as a din
ing hall; Armory hall, containing the
gymnasium, and used for military drill
in the winter and inclement weather, and
Sturtevant house, built by the late B. F.
Sturtevant of Jamaica Plain, Mass, used
as the principals residence. All except
the last are of brick while this is of
wood. Besides this are the necessary
out buildings. store houses, ETC., to &C
commodate the school. The dormito-
ries accommodate so pupils each and the
rooms are so arranged that the sun shines
into them all some time during the day.
The dormitOries are heated by steam and
supplied with pure spring water, brought
from the hills in iron pipes. The loca-
ton is excellent in a sanitary point of
view. the plateau being sandy and all
plumbing and water pipes of superior
adaptability to the demands likely to be
put upon it.
The library building will be built as
rapidly as possible, the corner stone hav-
ing been laid last week. The building
will be of low Romanesque order as in
terpreted by the late II. H. Richardson,
one Of Americas greatest architects.
The entire body of the building is to be
of field stones taken from an old wall
covered with the moss and lichens OF
years and will rise in modern slant of
battered asher work about four feet and
then perpendicular to the roof, which
| will be slated. The entrance porch will
| be toward FarnswOrth hall and is to be
of rough stone. The reading room will
be 3Ox30 feet, rising to the roof, all tim.
bers showing and finished in native
woods. On the front and rear are large
windows extending nearly to the roof
Beyond the reading room is the shell
room, open to the roof, arranged to hold
| 10000 volumes. Added to this will be
the little hooks and corners, so conven.
lent for the use of the student. Alto.

SOMETHING OF THE INCEPTION AND
GROWTH OF VERMONT ACADEMY.

The Causes Which Led to the Founding of
the school-Beginning in Private House
it has Grown Gradually to the Present
Magnificent Proportions.
The past half-century has been the
scene of much change in educational
methods and in the minds of those who
are anxious to acquire good education.
The college used to be the great center
of educational thought and endeavor and
drew to itself the learning and culture
of the entire country. The past 80 years
has caused a great change and the foun-
dation of secondary schools has followed.
These schools must not be considered as
taking anything from the college, but
rather, as adding something to the infiu-
ence and value of it. Each school has
it's friends, but very confidently it is as
serted that Vermont Academy stands in
the front rank of academies, not only in
our own state but in all New England.
For many years the Baptists of YER
mont had talked quietly of having a
school which should more completely
represent their ideas of an academy than
either Ludlow or Fairfax. Those schools
were good but seemed limited in their
field. They were provincial and seemed
only to attract students from short dis
lance. While they had good following
and formed small centers the Baptists
wanted school which should more fit
tingly represent the state as whole.
Prominent men talked it over and after
mature discussion, the first public
movement was made November 10, 1859,
at the Vermont Baptist state convention
where the following was adopted:
Res lived, That the time has come when the
Baptists of Vermont should awake to an in
creased interest in the subject of general educa-

ton, and should express that interest in immedi-
ate steps to secure the establishment and ade
quate endowment of a frstclass literary and
scientific institute for the education Of our youth
of both sexes.
A committee consisting Of Revs. F. H.
Archibald, G.. S. Chase, w. L. Palmer,
M. A. Wilcox, S. F. Brown, and Hons.
r. j. Jones and william M. Pingry. At
the meeting of the convention held at
Hydeville, October and 6. 1870, the com
mittee made a lengthy report of prog
ress, in which they stated that circular
had been sent to all Baptist pastors in
the state asking if they thought such an
institution among the Baptists of the
state necessary, and Are you ready to
cooperate in founding such school?'
The answer to both questions was unex-
pectedly hearty and emphatic in favor of
carrying out the project.
All the next year the committee
worked with renewed zeal. encouraged
by the expressions of good will they
heard on every hand. At the conven-
ton held in Burlington. October 4 and 5,
1871, board of trustees was appointed
consisting of IL members whose duties
were to establish and locate the new
academy and raise an endowment fund
of 100000 exclusive of grounds, build
ings, and apparatus, and to secure from
the legislature an act of Incorporation.
Judge William M. Pingry of Perkinsville
was first president of the board and con-
tinued in office until his death in May,
1885. His successor in Office was Col. l..
X. Fuller of Brattleboro who has held
the office since. The act Of incorpora-
ton was passed and approved November
26, 1872, and accepted by a full vote of
the board June "a, 1873.
Soon after the appointment of the
board, overtures were made by several
villages in widely separated parts of the
state for the location of the academy
offering liberal grants of money and
property. At the meeting of the board
June Il, 1872, proposal was laid before

battalion in military tactics, also used as
ball ground, and numerous walks and
drives abound where nature tempts the
student to recreative exercise. Tennis
courts and opportunities for other games
are furnished in the rear of the dormito-
ries. Improvement is the watchw ord,
and grading of the grounds in front of
the buildings is now going on and the
grass will be green thereon before the
fall term begins.
The attendance and influence of the
school has steadily increased from the
first. Beginning with 1876 the follow

Spreading Contagion.

At the meeting of Methodist ministers of
this city. held yesterday forenoon, reso-
linton was unanimously adopted calling
upon the city authorities to stringenIly en-
force the law forbidding public funerals of
persons who die of virulent or contagious
diseases. and that they prevent children
convai escing from such diseases from re-
turning prematurely TO the public schools.
This resolution arose from the fact that
the grown daughter of DR.. IL. A. Gle veland.
of Meridian-street Church, is victim Of
the prevailing scarlatina, though not re-
garded as dangerously sick. She took it
from some girls returning to the High
school too soon after having it and without
the proper attention to changing clothing.
Several cases ore reported of this disease
and diphtheria contracted by attending
funerals of those who had died OF these dis
eases.

The Letter That Has Not Come.

Walter Cox, attorney for the Broad Rip
pie Street-railway Company, expects to re-
ceive communication from tho Board of
Public Works some day this week. When
Mr.. Cox held his last memorable confer
ence with the board, both parties agreed
upon all the conditions contained in Mr.
Cox's petition for right of way over
streets In the city except the one bearing
upon street improvements On this point
they dlffered-several thousand dollars
worth even az q discount on the dollars
The board promised, however, that it would
at an early date put in writing it's terms
for u franchise. and Mr. Cox IL expectantly
awaiting this information. Mr.. Cox says
that neither himself nor any of the capital
lists whom he represents ever thought of
making bluff at street-railrOad enterprises
in this city. "The members of the Broad
Ripple Railway Company are still consider
ing the proposition of building suburban
electric line to Broad Ripple" said he,
land If favorable terms could be
secured from the city, would build
the line at once. They are willing
to do what is right and fair in the matter
of improving the streets along any route
they might secure in the city. but they
Will not agree to put $4,000 or 100000 into

this could not be done SO long as that COM
pany is not required to pay out n dollar for
street improvements. 1t looks as though
the policy of the board Is to freeze US out at
every point"

BUSKIRK ON THE BENCH.
He Tells the Police Not to Be Surprised at
AcquittaIs-FirstC Cases Before Him.

The afternoon Democratic organ in an
item noting the fact that Z. G. Buskirk
entered upon the discharge of the duties of
police Judge yesterday at 9:15 A. NJ. credits
him with being 1.-The first police Judge that
Indianapolis ever had" This, of course, is
incorrect. The first police udg &c this city ever
had and the last prior to the election of
Mr.. Buskirk was Hon. John n. Scott. now
q resident of Port Townsend. Wash. who
occupied that office about eighteen years
ago.
Judge Buskirk found thrty-two cases
ready for him as he took his seat upon the
bench. most of them being for petty
offenses, chiefly for drunkenness. The
Judge had prepared an grafton for the
police officers who were in court as wit
nssses. He remarked to the double rows of
Grass buttons that confronted him that as
to their conduct as officers outside the
court he had nothing to soy. but that as to
their conduct as witnesses III the court he
did have something 10 say and would say
it. He remarked that 1t was only natural
for them 10 show q great nmounto of interest
In the cases they brought before HIM, but
that they should remember that
they know but one side OF o
case and IL the court acquitted
consider such an acqnittal as o reflection
upon them ns officers. The Judge continued
that every body was liable to mistakes and
that even judges and lawyers had made
them. He said that the rules that govern
the Criminal Court would govern the po-
lice court. and that IN every case the guilt
of the defendant must be shown beyond a
reasonable doubt before a conyi elton could
follow.
The first case before the new Judge was
that of Augustus Blake. Who pleaded guilty
TO drunkenness and was fined. One of the
defendants said TO the Judge that the Off
Ger vino arrested him had used his club
upon him. whereupon the court admonlshed
the officers that they must uss no moro
force than necessary in making an arrest.
and that clubbing wculd De ruled out save
only when used In self-defense. The new
judge was very lenient for the first day. and
most of those who came before him got
away.
