His Successor VIII he Frank l.. Bug
bee, the Present Principal Of Black
River Academy at Ludlow.
A wide circle of friends and acquaint-
ances of Principal A. B. Crawford learned
with regret last Friday that he would not
come back to the position in our High
school that he has held the past three
years. He rendered his resignation and it
was accepted by the school board, they
electing as his successor Frank l.. Bugbee
of Hartford, Vt, who has for some years
held the position of principal of Black
River academy of Ludlow.
As an instructor Mr.. Crawford has taken
high rank and he has been successful In
putting the Bellows Falls schools in more
advanced position in every respect, IMAM
when he came to them three years ago.
Parents who have scholars remaining IN
the school are almost universal in their ex-
pressions of regret at the retirement Oh
Mr.. Crawford. He somewhat expects to
return to the schools of Nahant, Mass,
from which place he came here. he Is
spending the vacation principally at the
Sunset Hill House at Sugar Hill, n. H.,
among the White Mountains, although just
now for two weeks he is taking prominent
part in the summer schools for teachers in
Barton and Bradford, having been chosen
as an instructor in both. &p
MIR. Bugbee is an unmarried man OF "a
years. He graduated at Dartmouth in 80,
and has followed teaching since, portion
of the time as assistant principal of the
High schools of Denver, Col. He has been
at Ludlow four years, and has proved him
self an educator of much more than ordl-
nary ability Coming here at time when
our schools are in so excellent a condition,
he has an opportunity to make great sue
cess, which he will without doubt improve.

Change In the Corps Of Teachers.

Misses Young, Thompson and Goodhue
of the public schools have rendered their
designations as teachers. Miss Youngs
place in the High school has been filled by
the election of Belle Davidson, a graduate
of ACADIA college in Nova Scotia, and a
sister-in-law of Mr.. Cox, superintendent
of schools. Miss Alice Dascomb expects to
return and resume teaching here. She
has been chosen to fill the place of Miss
Thompson in the first and second grades in
No. building. She has spent the year of
her absence in Texas with her brother.
Miss Goodhue's place in the third grade
has not yet been filed. 1t is understood
as uncertain whether Mr.. Bacon resumes
his position of assistant to the principal
during the coming year, as he is DESTROYS
of continuing his studies of the languages,

ably grant the absence if he decides to re-

but see no reason why | am under any sort OF

course the danger is that, with two candidates
within its lines, the county will be divided that
both will be defeated and a man from another
section nominated. You know that Windham

What will probably be remembered as
the most enjoyable event of the summer

the doors and great number were unable
to obtain even standing room and were
turned away.
Mr.. Barrett is peculiarly we'll fitted to
deal with his subject, 1.-THE Situation in
the Far East" owing to his four years
residence in Siam as United States minis
ter under the Cleveland administration and
his extensive travels in eastern Asia and
the Philippines. Mr.. Barrett, who has
been addressing various chambers of COM
merce throughout the country, is bril-
liant and forceful speaker and his strong
personality added vital interest TO
his words. He outlined in a vivid way
several of the problems which at present
confront us in the East-preblems which
he, as a diplomat, had studied in their re-
lation to the future of our country several
years before this same territory became so
suddenly the political centre of the world.
Mr.. Barrett was the guest of Admiral
Dewey for IL months and in closing his ad-
the great Admiral who is coming home.
