Rev. W. f. Weeks of Brandon was in
Brattleboro this week representing the
trustees of the Vermont Episcopal inst-
tute. An appeal has gone out for an
endowment OF the diocesan school for
girls at Rock Point. and the womans
auxiliary, of which Mrs. Burnside of Bel
lows Falls is the head, is successfully
experimenting the work of the trustees
in their endeaVor to secure 800, 600 to be
reported on the occasion of the celebration
of the 10th anniversary of the conservation
of Bishop a. c. \. Hall. The results thus
far announced are certainly encouraging.
Some large subscriptions have been given
from Springfield, Boston and New York,
while these have been substantially aug
mented by others within the diocese. 1t
is hoped that these pledges will be found
sufficient to warrant the opening of the
school in the near future. Before is
suing the appeal the trustees were in po-
session of $4,000 for the purpose named,
while $4,000 and more of the required
100000 had been promised condtionally
on the securing of the whole amount.
