The Mortified Training School.

The Mortified Bible Training school
opened for its twelfth year oct. LIST.
The school occupies the commodious
Hotel Mortified, which closed its sum
mer season just in time for the former
to begin. In day the modest gayety of
the summer guests gave place to a happy
band of students.
Located in these elegant and refined
surroundings, the school presents the
aspect of a heightened private school, the
only apparent inconsistency being the
low rate charged for board and tuition.
which is only $50 per term of three
months, or s. per week for shorter
periods. Better known, however, there
is nothing secluded in it's nature. The
students are here for practical training
in Christian work and take an active In
terest in the religious life of the town
and outlying districts. Unlike the other
two institutions, founded by d. L. Moody
in the same locality, in the respect that
they offer high-grade academic courses
including Bible study, the main object of
the Training school is to train Christian
workers, of both sexes. and those desiring
to become such, for effectual service.
Regular courses are provided in music,
hygiene, sewing and domestic science.
The Bible course covers two years, and
is sufficiently recommended by the fact
that it is under the personal direction of
the president of the institution, Rev c.
!. Scofield. d. d.
Special courses have been arranged In
Biblical Pedagogy, Child-Study, Sunday
school organization and normal methods,
etc. under prominent teachers.
The Bible study is conducted in sys-
tematic courses and the special courses
will be given in consecutive lectures to
make II convenient for ministers and lay
men to take such courses as appeal to
them. Dates and information are gladly
given on application to the president.

E. c. Crosby a Director.

The Greenfield. Bernardston and North
nold street railway company was organ
lied last week with these directors: T..
Herbert Sanderson, Alonzo Afford. of
Bernardston; F. H. Allen of Mortified:
Edward G. Crosby of Brattlehoro: Mar
Gus \ Coolidge of Fitchburg: Fred f.
Pierce of Greenfield; John A. Taggart of
Montague. The Greenfield Gazette saws:
The company is organized under the gen
eral laws and does not expect to ask the
legislature for a charter. They will not
get as complete powers in this way as
they might if they were to get a charter
but the company say that as they do not
expect to cross a great deal of private
land, they may be able to get along all
right without a charter. They expect
soon to ask for franchises from the Sc
lectmen of the towns through which they
are to build, and they say that their in
corporation is a bona fide effort to build
railway. The capital stock of s35. 900
named in the articles of association is
not sufficient to build the road, but the
company are unwilling to tell all their
plans as respects this and other matters
There has lately been some talk that
there would be a move to build from
Brattleboro to Mortified and Greenfield.
and 1t looks as If hasty action had been
taken to head that off. The scheme for a
road from Millers Falls to Mortified
which looked as If it might go through as
long as the Orange and Erving work was
going on, seems to have collapsed with
the hitch in the construction of the
Orange and Erving road. A road to
Mortified is greatly desired in Green
field which would much prefer the
Bernardston route to having one built
from Milers Falls.
