A profitable meeting OF the teachers OF

answered questions and gave an instruc-
tive talk upon classroom met hods. At the
IL in no Mr.
spoke upon the present conditions OF edu-
cational work in Vermont and the outlook
for The future. He believes that the chief
thing needed to made our present educa-
tionRi arrangements truly efficient is some
system OF trained supervision. II is TO be
regretted that much larger audience was

impressive address.
''Ii there is one runaway, there will be
three" - an old sa ing and Brookheld
village has bad its three runaways in
few days. First, a week or two ago, a
span OF horses ran away from in front OF
Blodgett Bros. store and nearly reached
the Center before they were stopped. Mo-
damage was done. Saturday morning a
horse ran from the creamery, spilling out
milk cans, and later collided with a team
on the road, throwing out the driver and
another man. No one was hurt, but the
wagon ran into was much the worse for
the encounter. Monday afternoon span
OF spirited horses which gentleman from
out Of town was driving, tipped over the
sleigh in making turn, and getting free
from their driver, dashed through the viii
lage. Turning at he parsonage, they
went through narrow space OF about
four feet between the parsonage barn and
the house OF Henry Fullam and finally
fetched Mp in the field with tree between
them. Neither the driver nor the lady
with him, nor the horses were injured, but
the sleigh was pretty we'll demolished.
