the forests and converted them
into productive fields, the pro

people had developed into pros
porous, proud, rich state, rich in
it's material wealth, rich in finan-
ces, rich in its manhood and wo-
manhood, and assembled on our
natal day, the glad shouts from
the lusty lungs of her sons were
heard, and her beautiful women
nodded approving smiles when
her orators beneath the folds OF
the Stars and Stripes told of the
struggle of the revolution and
discoursed of the glories Of inde-
pendence and liberty and the
blessings of the American Union.

unable to take up the office. She dis

the advanced women subdued.

AGAIN Promoted.

Word has Just reached It's of the re-
cent promotion of Hiram Parker Will
hanson, Middlebury, graduate of Mid
dlebury college in 1896. He occupiesat
present an important and responsible
position in the University of Chicago,
the greatest university in the West
Mr. Williamson left Middlebury in
1891 to teach French and German in
the Rugby school at Kenilworth, ILL.,,
where he remained two years. He went
from Kenilworth to Princeton, n. j.,
where he was instructor in the John c.
Green School Of Science in that great
university until January, 1900, when he
was called to Chicago as Reader in Ro-
nance. In April of the same year he
was promoted to the position of assist
ant instructor. One year later, in April,
1901, he was again promoted to be asso-
ciate instructor and he has now been
promoted to the instructorship. From
1900 to 1902 he was the head of Graduate
Hall: from 1902 to 1903, the head of
Smell Hall. In 1902 he was the depart
mental examiner in Romance for the
Junior college and affiliated schools.
Mr.. Williamson is also known as an

a Successful MEETING.

A meeting was held in the parlors
of the Addison house last Saturday fore
noon for the purpose of organizing a
county association of teachers and pat
rons. Representatives were present
from Bristol, Vergennes, New Haven,
Whiting, Orwell and Middlebury.
f. A. Hasseltine was made chairman
and Prin. Botsford, of Bristol, secre-
tary.
After an informal discussion of the
large number of those present partici-
pated, "a temporary organization was
effected with the following officers:
President, A. f. Howes, of Middle
bury: vice president, L. G.. Webster, of
Whiting; secretary, F. II. Allen, of New
Haven; executive committee, w. II.
Botsford, of Bristol, Mrs. C. s. June, of
Middlebury, and G.. L. Smith, of Or
well.
The executive committee was empow
cred to arrange for a county convention
and to draw up a constitution to be
acted upon by that convention. State
Supt. w. f. Ranger arrived too late
for the forenoon meeting, but was pres
ent at the meeting of the executive
committee held in the afternoon, and
offered many helpful suggestions. He
is in hearty sympathy with the move
ment. and believes the new organization
rightly managed may do great deal
toward increasing the sympathy be
tween teachers and patrons, and in
giving help to the teachers in the rural
schools.
The first county convention will be
held in Middlebury, probably about the
middle of May, and full information in
regard to the meeting will be furnished
later in the columns of this paper
Mr. Ranger is deeply interested in
movements of this kind because where
county associations exist the interest in
town teachers meetings is increased
thereby. Last year only seventy out of
the 2l6 towns in the state held these
meetings. Mr. Ranger has also learned
that "A county association is a valuable
ally where county educational meetings
are to be held. One of the very few
active associations in the state is in
Lamoille county and on the occasion
of meeting there last year under the
direction of Superintendent Ranger. he
fonnd that the attendance was about
doubled 10y the interest of tile county
/ association. For this reason Mr.. Ranger
would like to see the teachers of every
section of the state organized.

The signing of the contract by which
the Woodbury. Granite company agrees
to furnish $l,OOO,0OO worth of granite
for the new capitol at Harrisburgh, Pa,
means much for Bethel. 1t will tax the
Woodbury. plant to its full capacity and
all ordinary business, as far as possible,
will be turned to the Bethel shops, and
if that business will not be enough to
work the Bethel shops, granite will be
sent from Hardwick to be finished at
Bethel.
In other words, both the shops at
Bethel and Hardwicll will be worked to
their full capacity. 1t will take five
years to complete the contract and it is
expected that more granite will be
required than is included in the original
order.

DR.. r. G. Flower, who was formerly
known throughout New England as a
medical specialist, with offices in Boston,
is under arrest in New York, charged
with grand larceny in the first degree.
His bail was fixed at $4,000. Assistant
District Attorney Garvan, in presenting
the case to the presiding judge, said the
prosecution would claim that the total
amount stolen would reach $500, 600,
that the money was taken from poor
people, that some of those defrauded
have lost their reason and others have
had their lives shattered.
