Nashua's Education Board Resigns.

NASHUA. n. H.. Sept. 6.-The com

last night because of disagreement over
the election of drawing teacher. The
trouble grew out Of the committee asking
the regularly elected drawing director to
resign. The director resigned, and before
the resignation was acted upon IL was
withdrawn. The board refused TO act on
the directors resignation at the previous
meeting, and, being unable TO agree on a
new teacher, resigned as the easiest way
out OF the trouble.

ARIDICULoUs PERFORMANCE.
The Cost to Different Concerns to Sc
cure Adoption Of Textbooks In
Vermont.

Last week Tuesday the battle of the
book agents in Vermont ended and
the matter of textbooks for public
schools for the next five years was
practically decided.
For the past two months 10 leading
publishing firms have been canvassing
Vermont in a lively way, and the cost
to them, figured on very conserva-
tive basis, is enormous. There are 24O
towns and 40 graded school districts,
making $50 units to adopt books in
the state. 1t is estimated that certain
|ly 1900 officers OF these $50 units
have been supplied with sample text
books from each of the competing
firms to the number of from $50 to $50
textbooks to each officer, or an aver
age of 200, equaling 24O, 900 books.
The companies began two months
ago with So agents. In month they
had l25, and closed with It's. Figur-
ing the average salary and expenses of
these agents per month at $3.50, makes
an expense to the companies of $37,-
800. The books furnished cost from
Is cents to 81, and averaging the cost
at 80 cents represents an expenditure
of $72, 200. Then add about $500
for postage and advertising and 3d.
500 expressage and it makes a grand
total of cost to publishing houses Of
Sll3,500.
Now the ridiculous part of this per-
Torrance is seen when it is stated that,
If one firm could get the contract for
all the textbooks used in
Vermont for the next dozen years, at
The prices that have been quoted this
spring, on the condition of paying
-hese bills, no money could be made.
Another absurd view of the case: yer-
nont's school officers have been pre-
'ented with 100000 textbooks. The
lverage school attendance in yer-
mont is only $4,000 and so the gift |
or advertising purposes of the pub
ishing firms would supply each pupil |
With nearly five books apiece. Each |
chool officer has had a nucleus for
fine library come into his possession
'olely through the fact that he was a
chool officer the year the free text.

Fires at Weston.

Weston is considerably stirred III
over fires supposed to be of incendia
ny origin. Sunday evening, June 2
as people were returning from church
they were startled by the CRY of fire. |,
was discovered that the chair shon
owned by Foster Il Jaquith, about d
mile from the village, was ablaze. A
large company of men was soon on the
spot but nothing could be done ia
save the main building, so their ot.
tention was turned to the dry house,
which was saved with its contents. All
the machinery and a large quantity Of
stock were burned. Loss, $4,000. M
insurance. The origin of the fire is
supposed to be incendiary. The loss
will be keenly felt as this was the ONLY
manufacturing establishment of much
size in town. 1t gave employment to
about 20 hands.
Tuesday evening, the people were
again startled by the information that
an apparent attempt had been made
to burn the buildings of Adelno Shat
tuck, farmer living within few
rods OF the mill burned Sunday night
AT O'Clock, Mr.. Shattuck's hired man
going to the barn for something
smelled kerosene. Calling in some Of
the neighbors and with the aid Of 4
light it was discovered that the floor
and sides of the barn were completely
saturated with kerosene. Apparent
y the miscreants were frightened
away before their dastardly work
'ould be completed. 1t is hoped that
hese fiends will be captured and JUS
ice be meted out to them in full
