Receptions.

Receptions.
Last Saturday evening the Junior
Middle class gave their first re reception to
the members of the school and their
friends in Academy Hall. The guests
were received by the reception commit
tee, Misses Berry, Ely, Fairbanks and
Mooney, and Messrs. Gibson, Kendall.
Porter and Kicker. Maurice Lovejov,
president OF the class, welcomed all in a
witty and pleasing speech, inviting them
to partake OF the punch served at the
Medicine Lodge" in one corner of the
room, and to use the "Papoose Lodge"
(Which was a cosy corner). The Indian
idea was very prominent through all the
evening. The programs were diamond
shaped, decorated with a cut of an Indi.
ans head, and the emblerns were small,
wooden tomahawks. A pantomime
reading from Hiawatha was given in a
most creditable way, it being especially
attractive with the fine Indian cos
tunes. The hall was trimmed with
green and yellow bunting, draped from
the center to the corners of the room and
few fir trees were scattered pictur-
esqueIy around the room. A large intro
duction committee kept very active dur
ing the evening making the guests have
most enjoya able time.
This week Friday evening the members
of the Business College are to give their
reception to the members of the school
and their friends in their rooms at South
Hall.

BASE BALL.
Academy Season Opens.

St. Johnsbury Academy opened the base
ball season Saturday by defeating the
town team. Neither played good ball
and errors abounded throughout, but
these can partly be excused on account
of the wet balls and muddy diamond.
Lack of practice on part of the town
team was responsible for their poor
playing. St. ]. A. has the making of an
exceptionally strong and fast prep
such team if a catcher can be found
who can hold Thompson's pitching.

The Sugar Season.

The farmers have put away their
buckets and begun their spring blowing,
and are very well satisfied with the
months work. The yield is pronounced
the best, both as to quality and guam
tity, since 1896, and the average yield
throughout the state has been about two
pounds to the tree. The yield at the
Fairbanks sugar orchard was a little
over two pounds to the tree, while one
Londonderry farmer reports that he
made LOO pounds of sugar from 800
trees. The best sugar has sold in the

The Farmer Boy and The
University.

Prof. f. b. Mumford of the
Agricultural. department of the
University Of Missouri thus points
out the benefit of a course in that
Institution to the farmers boy:
"The University of Missouri is
an institution that offers an edu-
cation for every class of citizens, :"
says Prof. Mumford. 1.-THE far
mer's boy may attend and learn the
principles and methods necessary
for him to know in order to pro.
duce a maximum crop of corn. He
learns that while two varieties of
corn may yield exactly the same
number of bushels per acre, one
variety may be twenty-five per cent
more valuable for feeding, because
of its different chemical compost.
ton. He learns how, by skillful
methods Of plant breeding, to de-
velop the variety of corn which in
productiveness and quality may in
crease greatly his profits. The far
mer boy may in a few weeks at
tendance on the Short Winter
Course at the Agricultural College
learn the best types of animals for
beef and milk; the best type of
horse for speed for coach and draft;
the best type of sheep for mutton
and wool. He is taught why one
COW fed on certain amount of
grain for a period of six months
will produce one hundred pounds
of butter, while another COW fed on
exactly the same kind of food and
treated in every way the same, will
produce two hundred pounds of
butter"

A College Education Pays.

An interview with members of
the faculty of the Uni
yersity of Missouri furnishes
an interesting index of the com
mercial value of a college educa-
tion. DR.. Il. IL. Jesse, president
of the University says: "Scareely
a week passes by that some bond
company does not write me to
know the record of some student
who is applying for Il bond in or
der to enable him to take a position.
1t wouId be safe to say that be.
tween fifty and hundred of these
documents come to me every year.
Our engineers are so eagerly
sought that we have to compel
them by statute Of the University
to remain until after commence
ment. Employees want them before
they have quite finished" "
Professor F. B. Mumford, Act
ing Dean of the Agricultural De.
partment, thinks an agricultural
education Is worth more than a gold
mine, He says, Il have had calls
for at least fifty men during the
past year at salaries varying from
5000 to s., 500. Agricultural papers
want editors, owners of orchards
managers, colleges teachers, and
the department of agriculture re-
search men. Most any kind of.
graduate of the department can
start as Experiment station assist
ant at 5000 a year while the good
men have no trouble in getting
much better salaries. The best
field open to ambitious young men
today is agriculture. 1t is the edu
cation that pays the biggest divi-
dends.

little incentive for the heaven
bound pilgrim, to get past Shelby
county. In a sermon, a few days
ago, Mr.. O'Brien said that in his
home county there was not sa-
loon, a pool or billiard hall, or a
gambling resort of any character.
There hadn't been dance
there for over twenty years, and
the people only know the use
of cards by hearsay. Once this
spring the ladies tried to get up a
finch party, and were frOwned up
on for their pains. There is not a

the State penal institutions, and for
eight years theere has not been a
single case of destitution that came
to his knowledge.
