Prin. Edward Conant was born in
Pomfret. VT, and was fitted for col
lege in Thetford Academy. He en-
tered Dartmouth in 1852. Since 1886,
his life has been spent IN Vermont,

ING has been his constant vocation.
His work as teacher has been pIin-

His work in Randolph began in the

1884. after an absence Of ten years,
Mr.. Conant again became principal

Ills interest in education has led
Mr.. Conant 20 publish two books: the
drill Book in the Elements of the
English Language, which is now III
its fourth edition, and "Conant's YER
mont, which was published in 1890.
Much of the success Of the school
has been due TO the efficient manage
ment Of its principal, who has given
the best part of his life to building it
up and making it what il now is-one
of the foremost educational institu-
tions, not only of Vermont, but OF
New ENGLAND.

triple four-lighted windows, each pane
1926 inches, which are put in nearly
half way up on the side of each room

wall which makes four partitions. for
ventilating purposes, into each of
which l0-inch pipe enters from each
room. The sides of these partitions
being warmed create a circulation and
this carries Off the impure air. This
chimney is perfectly tireproof.
