booms, candidating! Truly the great
hustling West by example has gener.
ously taught this land of gright and
gumption. Example Is influential
So now there are sounds of booms in
this Atlantic air, and Vermont, grand
old Vermont, actually has live month
ly paper, de|oted TO booming this
Green Mountain State. New bury is
naturally favored beyond many towns.
Newbury village, beautiful in sltua.
ton and wealthy in near OX-bows and
other bottom lands, has begun to feel
the beneficial effects of the western
way-hOme bOOmings i. e. building up
and as the result has a projected
seven hundred COW creamery, and edu-
cational interests already in a more
prosperous condition dian they have
been since some quarter of century
ago, when untOward local and political
influences pushed the button and re
moved famous school from Newbury
to Montpelier.
Boom, boom, booml boom your own
State and your own town is to- day
proper form. School district No 3
has grand opportunity to give a real
boom to itself and also to many other
Vermonters. 1t may cost little, but
1t Will pay well. 1t will pay better re-
turns than were promised losing in
vestorsiI so.called winning schemes"
AS to the method of this boom, in
union is its strength. Let No. 3 unite
with No. and then boom together,
and Newbury may again become a
widely and favorably known educa.

French at the helm. No. 4 hao great
natural resources, also No. 8. District
No. has recently bought, repaired
and practically paid for what several
good judges claim to be the best school
buildings and grounds in Orange
county. Now No. 3 with its wealth
of soil and citizens can reap rich har-
vests for scant sowing, and at the
same time boom the village, town and
state. All booms have obstacles TO
overcome. Two obstacles to this
boom of uniting districts ard 4 are
worth mentioning. The first is that
possibly it may cost from one to twen-
ty-five cents annually to get one hun.
dred cents annual profit. This is not
serious obstacle. The second, is in the
way of the distance of some inhabit-
ants of No. from the school buildings
of No. 4. AS to this obstacle it should
be observed that the buildings of dis
trict No. are so centrally located for
No. 8, that over one third the people
can travel the road 10 district No.

that the building of district No. is
