vastly superior in many intellectual re-

Vermont as a study.
barre Times.1

The subject under discussion at a meet
ing OF one or the women's clubs Of Barre
last week was little but quite Important
II was vermont. The reports from the
laeetlns Were TO the effect that In spite
OF the smallness OF the theme a wealth
OF information bearing on the Fourteenth
state OF the union was brought ont a
iund OF anecdote was told and facts NOT
generally known were related All IN ali
the study was productive Of much good
as wen as being highly entertaining. So
inuch were the reports, and one can read
lily appreciate that the reports to,d the
uuth' vermont is a small state. with
more or less limited horizon. hut n
nevertheless has played a powerful mart
an the history OF the nation chiefly by
contributions of men as soldiers
statesmen and citizens From the neriod
when the colonists Of Massa cbnsetts anG

wilderness lying between Lake Cham
plain and the Connecticut river. down TO

seems that much more real value would

PERSONAL relation to ourselves. Vermont
history, Tor example, is neglected not
only oy our clubs but by nearly every
other organisation within whose province
~ comes TO discuss It. AS a result we
as state are becoming shamefuliy ig-
norant OF our own selves. This condi-
uon Is being remedied TO a certain ex-
tent by introducing the study Of Yer

movement to know Vermont better can
S s,s De helped along by taking up the
discussion OF the various phases az a an
