lin said he knew the subject would at
once prejudice certain class against
him because of the emphasis laid on
the practical side of education in this
century, but he developed the thought
that the better prepared and educated
man is in a general way, the better
fitted he will be to specialize, and that
ideals are necessary. The thing need
full is to work out those ideals and put
them into practice. The address was
plea for general education and the
necessity of preparation which gives
adaptability. DR.. Murlin said that
the purpose of the educational insti-
tutions is not merely to make good
lawyers or physicians or preachers.
If it was the outlay would be too
great for the returns. The purpose of
education is to make broadminded
men and women. Larger manhood
and larger womanhood is what the
world needs and the noblest work of
God is man or woman. Touching
the practical side he said that brain
power is necessity in the battle of
life and while the college is not the
only place it can be developed there is
no place where it can be better or more
quickly developed.
In closing DIR. Murlin dwelt upon
the democratic spirit of education in
Kansas and the opportunity open to
every boy and girl to go to school il
they have the consuming purpose o
securing an education. He related
several touching and inspiring in
stances which have come under his
observation of people who have gone
to college with practically nothing
and by hard work and pluck and
perseverance climbed to the top. He
is pleasing and entertaining speaker
and the appeal to the class to go on
and take the High School and college
work was an able effort. The address
was livened by timely and effective

At the close of the address Prof

gave the class their diplomas, He is

state having been elected TO the super
intendency of the Leavenworth schools
for the coming year. He is a goot

Rev. Walter H. Cambridge, sub-master
of st. Marks school,, ~Southboro. Mass,
has been rendered a unanimous call by the
wardens and vestry of Trinity church to
succeed Rev. T. b. Foster as rector of the
church. Bishop A. c. A. Hall was asked
by the vestry to nominate a list of clergy
men for their choice. and Rev. Mr.. Cam
bridges name was the first on the list.
Rev. Mr.. Cambridge will probably not give
his decision regarding the call until near
the close of Rev. Mr.. Fosters rectorship.
He will visit Rutland about April 10, at
which time his decision will probably
be given. Rev. Mr.. Cambridge is n Yer
monter, having been born at Grafton,
and a graduate of the University of Yer
mont, class of 1894. He was formerly a
master of the Vermont Episcopal Institute
at Rock Point and was ordained by
Bishop Hall. During the last four years
he has built up and had charge of St. Ste

a neat church building has been erected

BRATTLEBOR0 LOCAL.
Figuring on a Connecticut River
Bridge.


The bridge committee appointed at
the last town meeting have continued
their work the past week, confirming
their efforts largely to getting esti-
mates of the cost of steel bridges
across the river from Walnut street
and from a point heal the canning fac
tory. 1t is realized that a bridge on
the site of the present wood bridge
would be cheaper than at either of
the two other sites mentioned, but
there are those who favor the other
sites because they believe in avoiding
the necessity, If possible, of crossing
the railroad track, and the committee
wish to be loaded" with information
when the time comes for the special
town meeting to act on the matter. A
representative of the American Bridge
company, who made the estimates for
a bridge where the old bridge stands,
as reported in The Phoenix last week,
was in B~rattleboro Wednesday and
measured the distance from Walnut
street to the only suitable point on
the New Hampshire side of the river.
A bridge at that point would require
a pier on each side of the river, and
the distance between the piers would
be about 800 feet. From the piers to
the roadways would be about 400. feet,
making the total length of the bridge
about 1900 feet. The company is now
making estimates of the cost of a
bridge at that point. A steel bridge
on the site of the present bridge, 20
feet in width, would cost from SIS, 900
to 2 1000, according to style, and
would be from 300 to 400 feet long.
Civil Engineer Wolcott of Greenfield
came to Brattleboro yesterday to sur
vey the suggested site near the can
ming factory. If a bridge was put on
at that point it would be necessary to
make a long fill from the river to the
railroad, the idea being to build a
separate bridge over the railroad in
order to avoid a crossing. Mr.. VOL
colt is at work today making an es-
innate of the cost of such a fill.
