24e7 Legal Schools In Vermont.

During the school year that closed
on March 81. 1906 the legal schools in
Vermont numbered 2i97 and We're taught
by properly certified teachers. These
figures have been recently tabulated by
Hon. Mason S. Stone, state superin-
tendent Of education. for the biennial
report TO the legislature. The legal term
school applies only to those that have been
In session at least IS weeks during the
year and in which registers have been
kept Among these schools the state
tax is divided with the exception of
$40, 900 reserve fund that is being taken
from the state tax. The reserve fund
Is divided among the towns according to
the per cent of tax that Is raised for
the running Of schools. ranging from so
per cent upwards. Towns devoting less
than 80 per cent of taxes to the schools do
not share in the reserve fund. The data
for the report of the department of edu-
cation is being rapidly compiled and the
number OF pupils attending the schools
and other interesting figures viii be made

The formal announcement Friday of
the engagement of Miss Anne Ide eldest
daughter of Gov.-Gen. Henry c. Ide of

Cochran Of New York. does not come as
a surprise to Miss Ide's intimate friends
in Santa Barbara, Calf, though II will
be news to society In many cities of this

neither confirm nor deny the rumor. Mr..

Ide and her sister joining the party at

it will not take place until after the re-
turn Of Gov.-Gen. Ide in October.

MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
Best Trout Season for Years.

The open season for trout fishing in
Massachusetts ended Saturday The
Greenfield Gazette says; There have been
more large trout taken from local
streams this summer than in any season
for many years Catches Of five and
seven pound baskets of trout weighing
from 4 to q of a pound each have been
common and a few trout weighing from
one TO two pounds have been caught
The short season of past years and the
annual stocking of brooks by the Sports
mans club, together with the six-inch law
have brought about this result.
There is regret among the local fisher
men that the season has been heightened
to go into effect next year Many of
instead, for the reason that few weeks
period of poor fishing There are
many fishermen who would like TO see
the law changed to prohibit taking trout
under five instead of six inches in length
and limit a days catch to 20 or 25 trout
to a person This would, they think, do
away with the desire TO catch a big string
as reckoned in numbers, and increase the
tendency of the fishermen to put back
small fish and keep only the big fellows
to exhibit and brag about. The longer
season is regretted because II will have a
tendency to reduce the catches of large
trout, as in the latter part Of July the
water in the streams is low and the trout
congregate in the deep pools where they
can be caught more easily, and 1t makes
the time less for the small trout to grow
for next years catching.
