In an article in last weeks paper on the
"Changes in Our Water System" an analy-
sis Of the well water at Camp Randolph,
Highgate Springs, was given, through a
misunderstanding, as the analysis of our
village water. The latter was tested long
ago and pronounced pure and healthful,
and its analysis is not at all similar to the
one made by the experts of the University
of Vermont of the Highgate well water.
This well was bored ninety feet through
solid rock and its water was always sup
posed to be as pure as it was cool and re-
freshing, until this summer, when the
prevalence Of bowel trouble at the camp
excited suspicion against the we'll. This
suspicion, however, was not shared by the
doctors atcamp, who attributed what lit
tie sickness there was to an unwise expos
ure to the cool night air after the extreme
heat OF the day.
