which thought is absorbed from the
thinking OF its superors." This doubtless
proved true with many of the pupils who
enjoyed the instruction OF such able and
brilliant men as the academy was favored
with in its early history. 1t was men
tai and moral lighthouse tor that par.
OF the country. The earnest efforts OF
the early trustees were crowned with
success and Caledonia County Grammar
school became known all over the state,
and many pupils we're enrolled from New
Hampshire. Such well.endowed instl-
tuition easily secured instructors ranking
highest for scholarship and ability. from
Dartmouth college. It's pupils are found
scattered all over the North. East, South
and West, some distinguished in their
professions, Others in business life or in
representative halls. AS good schools
were few and rare, it is impossible to
form any adequate estimate OF the wide
and extended interest which 1t exerted
over the rising generation. 1t opened up
and broadene6 out the budding aspira-
tons and hopes of young life; it was
directing and molding force in the forma-
ton of character it strengthened will it
led young men to seek larger fields Of
usefulness and raised the aims OF young
women to nobler life and occupations.
The founding OF Caledonia County
Grammar school was an enterprise and
prophecy Of great things for the town.
In a retrospective glance through the
glass of history over the past 100 years,
occurs the question today, was the school
on the whole success or failure? The
alumni and the old teachers constitute
the jury who must decide those questions.
Ex-Mayor Prince of Boston once said,
you prove the solidarity OF your work
by it's durability" This school, the
sixth of the kind in point of time incor
porated in the state has continued until
the present day. Facts speak for them
selves. Many New England towns are
now waking up to sefconsciousness Of
their early life and history and are no
longer insensible to the trials of the fore
fathers. Loyalty and patriotism lmpel
us to review those early efforts and
struggles, and consider the men who con-
tributed so largely to that life. The
fathers and mothers of the town and the
pioneer trustees should receive recogni-
tion from posterity today. They were
men ana women offaith and action. Their
characters were like the mountains strong
in foundation and firm in construction.
The conditions of life were such that it
was stern reality and naturally devel-
oped strong, vigorous characters; per-
haps little roughhewn in comparison
with those rounded out and polished by
the learning and culture of the 10th cen
fury, but on the whole we think all will
decide that they acted wisely and unself-
ishly and for the general good of all, and
the general sentiment will be, Thanks
be to God that such have been, although
they are no more"

THEY ALL SAY So.

But When 1t Came Ii Did
the Work.

1t had been all through the southern part
Of Vermont and New Hampshire and had
visited Rutland, Barre and Montpelier be-
fore it arrived at Burlington, VT. When it
located in Burlington it created considerable
excitement, and the residents of that city, like
every city and town along its route, became
anxious and curious to know who would be
next, as the testimony from representative
citizens was daily published in the local
papers. Week after week went by, and the
good people of Burlington settled down to
the fact that what their neighbors said must
be true; that local testimony and statements
from people they knew must be reliable.
One whose testimony helped to push the
good work along in Burlington is well known
in that city. She can be depended upon to
answer any communication mailed to her or
to corroborate personally what she says here.
