high school principal has all he can posi-
bly, do in his own school, especially If we
give him only three assistants, most Of
whom are without much experience. II
we wish our pupils to be well disciplined
and well taught, we must not take up his
already over-Occupied time by imposing
upon him the equally exacting work Of
supervision. The school boards of Keene,
Brattleboro, Claremont, or Greenfield
would never for moment consider such a
proposition, and we ought not to expect
here what is admitted to be absurd in other
places.
1t would, Of course, be possible to en-
gage principal who is strong in supervis-
ing. This means that our high school loses
what the other schools gain, or we have
principal who is more interested
in his own work than in supervising
we simply annoy him and the grade
teachers by incomplete, one-sided super.
vision. The experience of towns which
have tried the combination of principal anG
superintendent has not been such as woulG
lead us to expect good results from this
method.
Vermont is slowly swinging into line il
this matter; Superintendent Stone sale
last winter that the only advance he hoped
to inaugurate during his term of Office
would be this. Let us then seriously con
slider whether we ought not to make oul
already excellent school work all that i
might be in case supervisor were EN-
ployed to see that every detail of the worl
is thoroughly in line with the best result
in other live towns.

:. A few years ago |, in company with a
noted ply ician of Boston, started from the
Hub to Florida. 1t was the first day of the
terrible blizzard which cost Roscoe Conklin
and hundreds of others their lives. We were
snow-bound in Connecticut until Thursday
afternoon, when slowly made our way to
New York. We were due to leave New
York that Thursday night at O'Clock on the
Tampa sleeper. Our berths were reserved.
1t was 10 o'clock before we reached New
York, and the Florida train had left on time.
We left Jersey City on the very early train
the next morning, which reached Washing
ton at 1913 a. m. and Savannah, Ga, the
ne vt morning at Il. m, which was the same
time the train leaving New York at clock
the night before reached Savannah, and from
Savannah. the sleepers of the two trains were
consolidated, and went on southwark as one
train.
.'On this occasion, as travel was very heavy
each train went southwark from Savannah as
"A section. The train which left New York at
9 Thursday evening comprised the first Sec
ton. We were the second section; every
seat was full in each train, and many were
unable to secure accommodations on either.
s'The sleeper of the first section went
through to Tampa, and it was necessary that
the doctor go on it in order to reach his win
ter home at Palatka that evening, as section
No. stopped at jacksonville. The doctor
tried to exchange seats with MIR. Redmond
of Montreal, who was in the first section.
This Mr.. Redmond refused to do, though he
did not go farther than Jacksonville that day.
''Just this side the Blackshear river we
were signalled by a man waving a red hand
kerchief. Our train came suddenly to a halt
and were informed that the bridge had
given way and the entire train of eleven cars
had come down preeipice of seventy feet.
''Dr. Flower took care of most of the
wounded, and that evening he took a car load
of the wounded and IL of the dead to Jack

Bad for Log Drives.

A dispatch from Wells River says: A
log drive of the Connecticut River Lum-
Der company of 100000 has been
released from the boom here and is passing
slowly, owing to the low condition OF the
Connecticut river. Work has been discon-
tinued upon two drives of 100000 each
of the Fall Mountain Paper company, the
water in the smaller rivers being SO low
that it is impossible to move them. One
is on Ammonoosuc river, strung along tor a
number of miles north of Lisbon, the
other in White river in the towns Of Stock
bridge and Rochester. Water almost
entirely left them two weeks ago. Pulp
mills in Bellows Falls are short Of logs and
will purchase of the Connecticut River
company enough to supply them until rain
comes to take some down.
