The Quarterly Examination.

OF the four candidates who applied for
teachers certificates at the examination
held at Condor last week, three we're
successful in securing certificates, viz !:
Miss Ethel Parman OF Condor. Sec
ond grade; average standing sl.4; Miss
Retta Schomp OF FOSSIL, second grade ;
average standing 500; Miss Kathleen
Fitzmaurice OF Rowe creek, third
grade; average standing Ill. Mr.. s. /.
Stratton of Lone Rock failed to get a
second grade, and as he has already
taught in this county on third grade
he will be obliged 10 give up teaching
until he secures 81 grade, which he
will probably succeed in doing at the
next examination. He gave excellent
satisfaction as teacher at Lone Rock.
Miss Fitzmaurice is entitled to much
credit for her success, when the facts are
considered that she has attended only
one term Of school, all told, and is but
l6 years of age. BY her own efforts. as
sisted by her parents, she has attained
a better education than the majority Of
young ladies' whose parents have expend-
ed large sums Of money in the attempt to
educate them in so-caled high" schools
There is an excellent moral lesson in
this for young people of both sexes who
imagine nothing can be learned except
at high-priced distant schools and col

SPECIAL VILLAGE MEETING.
Unanimous Vote TO Buy 1000 Feet of
New Fire Hose.

The business of the special village
meeting held last Friday evening was
quickly transacted. Col. Hooker as chair
man of the board of bailiffs presided. and
w. ID. Perry was clerk After the war
rant had been read John Retting addressed
the meeting in opposition to the appro
pration OF money to buy more hose, say
ing that our rate of taxation was already
high, and he thought the present a good
time to begin to economic. w. d. Perry
made a statement to the effect that the
hose company hose now in use is not strong
enough to stand steamer pressure. and
said eve are liable to be caught in a trap
with it any night" This was the reason
why new hose was wanted. The safety to
property demanded it, In answer to cues
tions by the chairman Chief Engineer
Turner said that the reason for buying
1000 feet of hose was that there might al
ways be 1000 fee. of dry hose ready
for use. Suppose there should be a fire
at IL o'clock some night and another
alarm at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning.
There would be nothing but the wet hose.
and every fireman knows how unfit that is
to use. n. L. Ryan thought the purchase
of suitable apparatus for the fire depart
ment poor place to begin to economic.
MI netting mouon as finally formu-
lated was to dismiss the article for the pur-
chase of hose, with the understanding
that similar article should be put into the
warrant for the annual village meeting.
when there would be full meeting to CON
slider it. When this was put to vote it was
lost almost unanimously. a motion to buy
1000 feet of new hose was then put and
was carried without dissent. Col. Hooker
stated that money for the purchase could
be got for per cent on short loan. S.
ii. Sherman moved that the bailiffs be
authorized to make such a loan. His mo-
ton was carried and the meeting then adj
jOurned.
At bailiff's meeting held Saturday
evening it was decided to buy 2O0O feet of
Eureka hose, the price to be 81 cents per
foot delivered in Brattleboro. This hose
is made by the Eureka Fire Hose company
at their works in Jersey City, y. j.

whose Career VIII Always Hold Place
Uniaue In the Annals of Brottleboro'
One of the oldest Brattleboro residents
passed away and career which was
unique was brought to close in the death
of VIM. A. Conant, which occurred at his
home on Canal street Tuesday Few
lives have been more strictly individual
than has Mr.. Conant's, and in his work as
"the old violin maker he had employed
his peculiar gift and had made place for
himself which was as much his own crea-
ton as that of many men who, in larger
sphere, have come to wider fame. Mr..
Conant was the son of William Andrew
and Lydia Miles Conant, and his ancestry
dates back to the time of the wars with
the Indians, waged by the early Massachu-
sets colonsts His fathers farm covered
the site now occupied by the well-known
Concord reformatOry buildings, and here
he was born Nov. 30, 1904. He learned
the trade of a cabinet maker, and it was
while employed in this vocation in Low
ell, Mass, that he met Harriet E. Sails
bury, native of West Brattleboro, to
whom he was married Nov. 30, 1927. For
about two years after his marriage Mr..
Conant followed the business of cabinet
maker on his own account at Lowell, but
in 1929 the young people came to Brattle-
boro, moving into the same house on Ca
nal street where their last years were
spent. At this time there was no other

REV. MIR. CROTHERS'S GALL TO
CAM BRIDGE. s9
From the Boston Sunday Heral,

$3.50 $50 HN's'NA A'lAilNAst9 llFldltl
The acceptance by Rev. S. NJ. Crothers
of call to the First Unitarian parish of
Cambridge is an event of unusual i'm
portance in this community. This gentle
man has refused calls to Kings chapel and
to the Arlington street church, and vet he
has been induced finally to leave his inter
esting field in the West and to take a parish
in Cambridge, which is in peculiar sense
under the wing of the university, and in
touch with its religious life. Mr. Crothers
has been among the recent preachers to
the university, and his ministrations there,
both in the chapel and among the stu
dents, have been such that undoubtedly
they are the moving impulse behind this
call to Cambridge. Mr.. Crothers is a
man of rare personality, whose gifts
are unusual, and whose fitness for the field
which he is about to take has been recog-
nized by many people in this vicinity, and
he will find himself, when he comes here
to live, in position where his resources
Will be fully appreciated. He is in the
prime OF life, and is said to have already
awakened a great deal of enthusiasm
among Harvard men.
