TO VERMONT TEACHERS.

The executive committee of the
State Teachers Association has is
sued the following:
We desire to call your attention to
the postponed meeting of our State
Association. While every effort pos
sible was made to announce a week
or more beforehand the necessitate
postponement from October 24-26, the
notice did not reach all the teachers
of the State. You will note that the
meeting will be held at Burlington
the 2l, % and % of November. 1t
seems to us that we are indeed FORUM
ate to be able to present the program
as originally planned without single
variation the same strong speakers,
the same social features, exhibits,
and opportunities to visit the colleges
and schools of Burlington. The Bur
lington public schools, which were
closed as precautionary measure to
present any spread of small pox, were
re-opened October 28. The disease
was confined to single section of
the city and from the first has been
closely watched. No new cases have
appeared for several weeks and the
health authorities affirm that there is
not the slightest reason for apprehen-
sion, and that visitors may come to
the city and go about without any
fear whatever.
The convention will lIbe the best in
the history of the association, and
you cannot afford to miss the oppor-
tunity of hearing President Chase,
William j. Long, Miss Mary /, Love.
joy, Henry T, Bailey, Charles H.
Keyes, and other speakers of state and
more than local prominence.
You want to bear in mind the Col
lege Secondary School Conference OF
English on Thursday, the receptions
to be rendered the Association by the
teachers of Burlington Thursday
evening and by President and Mrs
Buckham Friday evening, the ban
quet at the college gymnasium Friday
evening, and the chance to visit the
schools of Burlington which will b,
in session Thursday. The college
museum and science hall, with thu
laboratories, will be open and il
charge of attendants Thursday anC

Do not let the postponement dampel
your ardor, but rally to this meeting
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday

q. A. R.=-W. r. G.

The G. A. r. and w. r. G.. held
their installation of officers last Thurs
day night and after the ceremonies all
banqueted at the Twining house.
Twenty three veterans, the nations
sponsors when it was most in need of
defenders, were present. After the
exercises were over and while the
ladies were eating the boys out in the
other rooms, remembered that they
now had no hall since Comrade Ed. b.
Cousins had moved out from over the
postottice, and that the hall would
now be empty of chairs. Comrade
Baker remarked that the Baptists
were selling their chairs and the boys
began Immediately to hand out money
to their quartermaster until they now
have chairs enough. Then some one
gave stove, and others coal and an.
other lights until they now find their
hall comfortably heated, seated and
lighted More enthusiasm was shown
than they have known for long
time. This is an organization that de-
creases instead of increases, yet time
only draws the boys closer together
and binds those ties Of comradeship
closer and SO long as time and one
veteran shall last their laurel crown of
nations respect will ever be theirs,
kept green and fresh by the thoughts
of our present glory and power due to
their early sacrifice. Below is given a

fore an audience of over 1000 people at

ing. For one hour and seven minutes
Mr.. Graves held the closest attention
and interest Of his hearers in one of
the most striking and eloquent dis
courses ever heard in this city From
the first word he was thoroughly the
master of the situation. His pleasing
manner, his easy flow of speech, his
firm but quiet tone acted on the audi
ence like Il gentle current of electricity,
administered from a battery in his
hands, which softly but surely swayed
the emotions of those who came under
its influence, in whichever direction
the speaker wished No more than
this need be said.
Tickets will be on sale at the library
rooms and at the stores of A. II. Rob
erts and Prick & Son.

Evangelist Moore at the Church OF
Christ. Pointed Preaching.
Good Singing.

Although this is the third week of
the meetings at the Church of Christ,
the evangelist seems as strong and
vigorous as at the beginning. His
nightly discourses are drawing large
audiences, to the delight and profit of
our citizens, both in the city and
country. No matter whether one may
agree with the speaker or not they can
not fail to understand him. He takes
hold of a subject turns it over and
presents it to the audience in such I;
manner that they can not fail to un-
derstand il. Mr.. Moore has been in
revival work for many years and vet
he uses no peculiar and sensational
methods His effort seems to be to
make christians, not simply to add
names. His preaching arouses people
to investigate the bible for themselves.
He says "read the bible and see, don't
take my word for it," Much interest
is manifested and people young and
old are asking about how to become
christians.
The house was packed last Sunday
night and large audiences are in at
tendance nightly. The meetings will
continue this week and every night
next week. Sunday will be rally
day, especially for the members of the
church. An effort will be made to
have every member present Sunday

High Towers For weather Observers.

The Eitfel tower was erected merely
for the purpose Of demonstrating the
possibility OF constructing a building
1000 feet high and of providing a
unique attraction for the Paris exposi-
ton of 1889. A time is likely to arrive,
however, when Effel towers will be
widely sprinkled over the surface Of
the globe. The United States weather
bureau will soon equip so Of it's more
important display stations with steel
towers which are now under contract,
says the Milwaukee Wisconsin. They
will not be 1000 feet high, but if they
were it would be an advantage. The
most serious need of the weather bu-
reau at the present time seems to be
facilities for taking observations in the
higher atmosphere.
