day for Morrisville. and this we say

not be so with dozens and dozens
and more of pleasant young ladies,
with whose faces We had become IA
miliar and whose stir and hustle 1--WE
mean activity on our streets had
frightened two weeks of our midsum-
mer life-with all this suddenly
brought TO an end bv the closing OF
the summ.r school ? This, the first
session of Lamoille County Summer
School of instruction in methods for
teachers, has proven to be a grand
success. The many who attended
seemed well pleased with the work OF
the term, and gave evidence of hav-
ing enjoyed their stay in our village.
As a means of actical, useful in
struction, the summer school has un-
doubtedly come to stay, and with
