American Institute of Instruction.

The Goth annual convention Of the
American Institute OF Instruction, which
is to be held at Bethlehem, N. H., July 9,
TO- II and 13, will offer one of the grand
est opportunities for pleasant and
instructive summer outing that the
present vacation season is likely to
afford. The convention itself will be one
OF the most important educational gath
erings of the year, and it is hard to
decide which will outweigh in attractive
ness-the programme itself or the scenic
beauties OF the glorious temple of Nature
in the midst of which the meetings will
be held.
The morning sessions will be held in
Crult hall at Bethlehem, and the evening
sessions in the cosy Casino at Maple
wood. A male quartette, composed of
some OF the best known singers in the
country, will furnish music.
OF the outdoor attractions of famous
Bethlehem itself it is hardly necessary to
speak. Besides its own high surround
ing hills and glorious vistas, it is within
a few hours of the summit of Mt. Wash
ington, the Profile, Franconia and Craw-
ford Notch, and the hundred and one
other noted features of the mountain
region.
No trip could be a more pleasurable
one, and the fact that it is made over the
Boston & Maine railroad is sufficient
guarantee that it will be comfortable
one, physically. Special rates have been
made for the convention by both the
railroads and the hotels, and all persons
interested in educational matters
whether teachers or others, are eligible to
membership in the Institute and to par
ticipation in these reduced rates.

The Electric Light Contract. TIL

The Electric Light Contract'-lhe
village trustees have contracted with the
St. Johnsbury Electric Light Company
to furnish GO arc lights for the next three
years for $4,000. This is for an all'night
service and this much-desired service
began last Saturday evening. The home
company further agreed to reduce the
price for commercial lighting and for
house lighting. The question is there
fore settled and the home company have
been awarded the contract at one of the
lowest prices for such service that can
be found in New England.
AS matters progressed through the
winter both the Lyndonville and the
Lyndon companies expressed a desire to
put in a bid for the lights. Bids were
asked for and the Lyndon concern and
the st, Johnsbury company responded,
the Lyndon company undertaking our
own concern. There was no chicanery
of any kind and the reason that the
Lyndon company was left out was be-
cause their agent, DR.. w. c. Blake, adj
mitted that no company had been
formed and that they would not be
ready to do business for some time. The
trustees also disliked to allow our streets
to be filled with another set of poles,
which would be the case it an outside
company had taken the contract.
The Lyndonvile company submitted a
proposition to furnish an all.night ser
vice for $50 per light, or an aggregate OF
$1,000 a year; they, however, objected
to the clause insisted upon by the trust
ees, providing for forfeit in case of a
second proposition including forfeit
clause.
The St. Johnsbury company agreeto for.
felt for each night of failure the rental
and an amount equal to the rental IL
addition, except where the failure results
from fire. lightning or a washout.
The trustees have made an excellent
contract with the home company ant
the people will profit by the reduced
prices. Other things being equal we be
leve that a home company should b'
patronzed in all cases, and the trustee:
gave other companies iair chance anC
then closed the contract with the st
Johnsbury company as related above.

Death of Miss Kate Flint Miss
Kate Flint died Tuesday afternoon, June
16, after a lingering illness of more than
a year. Born in St. Johnsbury, Feb. 9,
1913, she had spent her whole life in
our town. graduate of the Academy,
a teacher in our public schools for sixteen
years, faithful attendant at the North
church and interested in all its work, she
will be missed in our whole community,
and especially in the home where she has
been such comfort and blessing To
her mother who has long been in feeble
health, she has been a sustaining help
and solace. all her life. Her brothers,
too, realize with grateful appreciation
the material aid she has given them as
well as her sisterly care and affection.
There was an especially close tie between
her and the brother at home. His devo-
ton was unfailing, and both brothers
must be comforted in their great grief by
knowing that all that was possible was
done to restore her to health and to make
her illness more bearable. The sympa-
thy of all goes forth to the mother and
the three brothers so bereaved by the
death of one who has lived such an active
and useful life.
