A SUCCESSFUL ENDING.


The summer school Brought to Il Close
on Friday Last.
The summer school closed on Friday
afternoon in time for those wishing to
leave on the 3:l0 train to do so. One
new feature of the closing sessions was
the physiology talk by Mr.. Hall, who
presented many new and helpful
thoughts on the subject. Thursday af-
ternoon Miss Mary l.. Titcomb of Rut-
land, VT, addressed the school very
briefly on "Publc and School Libraries"
She spoke of the growth of libraries
from their beginning in the monasterles
until the present time, when they are al
most as free as our schools are, and she
expressed the conviction that the time
is not far distant when the libraries will
be supported the same as schools. She
impressed upon the teachers the neces-
sity of making use of books from the
library, saying that teaching without
library is like carpenter trying to
work without proper tools. Miss Tit
comb gave an address on the same sub
Jet in the town hall last winter.
The lecture on Tennysons "Idyls of
the King" followed Immediately. In
this MIR. Hall gave his listeners a rare
treat. He considered the collection of
idyls as one connected poem and showed
the necessity of taking them in a certain
order and studying them IN their rela-
ton to each other in order that their full
beauty may be appreciated.
Another interesting feature of the
work Thursday was the object lesson in
patriotism shown by large number of
teachers who gathered at the station to
catch glimpse of President Mckinley
as he passed through.
At the close of the opening exercises
Friday one of the instructors remarked
the unusual circumstance of there being
as full an attendance on the last morn
ing of the school as on any other during
the term, which circumstance he stated
he had very seldom seen in any other
summer school.
/ The average attendance during the
term of two weeks has been very good.
and the school is considered by all as
| having been a success in every respect.
Speaking of the expense of Vermont
summer schools, the Burlington Free
Press says that the one at Randolph
would amount to about $500 and the tu-
tion would reach about $40, so that
quite little Will have to come from the
amount appropriated by the state for
these schools. The expense at the sever.
al schools in the state is about the same
The instructors from outside the state
came for less than one-half of the money
they usually receive from other States
for this work. Most of them were eth.
er natives or else had taught in time.
past, which is the reason of securing
them at the low figures they receive.
Great credit is due to County Exami
ner I. K. Boyce for the success of the
school at this place. 1t is hoped thai
it will be made an annual institution.
