eston, Miss Marguerite Tucker and
Miss Emma Gregg. Mr.. Smiths paper
was one Of the best ever given
before the Professional club. An
abstract would do it an injustice. 1t
considered the needs of pupils from
physical standpoint and then from
mental standpoint and was confined to
conditions as they exist in Brattleboro.
1t called things by their right names and
contained practical suggestions which
ought to be brought to the attention of
every parent. 1t was apparent that Mr..
Smith had no sympathy with the advo-
Gates Of old fashioned training.
