the next one be held at my home, and I
therefore invite all members of the regi-

for the trip on the first and second days of
June and during their stay at Proctor and
Rutland. If a comrade has no wife he may
take one of his children. train will
leave Newport at five O'Clock on the
morning OF June 1, going by way of Wells
River, Montpelier and Burlington, stop
ping at all stations on the Boston & Maine
and Wells River roads where there are
members of the regiment to go. Dinner
will be ready on arrival of train about one
o'clock. Returning the train is expected
to reach Newport about seven O'Clock p. m.
Time table will be prepared and published
before June 1st. l hops there may be a
full attendance of the regiment, and only
regret that the lack of accommodations for
the night prevents me from inviting all the
children and grandchildren as well. The
first Of June is my seventy-third birthday,
and know you will be glad to help me
celebrate it. Adjutant Gleason will have
charge of the arrangements and will give
all necessary information.
Very truly your comrade,

A very interesting and helpful teachers
institute was held at the school building
last Tuesday. The meeting was in the
charge of the county examiner, FL. j.
Stannard, and was we'll attended by the
teachers in the south part of the county.
| There were seventy nine present at Barton
and seventy-two the day following at
Newport, the same speakers going there
e'GF. Devotional exercises were conducted
by Rev. W. c. Johnson. Superintendent
FL. K. Whitaker of Brattleboro gave an
especially helpful address on History and
one on Language. Supt. j. II. Carfrey
| took up Methods and Relations of Parents
and Teachers. Both subjects were we'll
illustrated and showed the experience of a
| practical teacher. Miss Annie M. Waite,
supervisor of music and drawing in the
academy and graded school, gave talk on
questions given to her by the examiner for
explanation. These were illustrated and
thus simpIifed. Supt. W. E. Ranger was
present in the afternoon. His address and
| later comments on the many questions
asked showed such good understanding
of human nature, and especially of child
nature, that they were real encourage
ment and inspiration to all. The institute
was a whole summer school condensed
into one days meeting. At the Newport
known as the Orleans County Educational
Association was formed and the following
| officers chosen: Pres, 81. J. STANDARD; !;
VPres., Supt.Mrs. E. S. Miller, Westfeld;

Conn.,, Supt. M. A. Adams, Derby, Supt.
Mae L. Wheeler, Irasburg, Miss Mae Wig
gin, Newport; Com. on Constitution, Miss

expected that the Association will follow a
definite line of work for the schools of the
county. Its motto is "Orleans County to
the 'front.'"
