TEXT OF EXAMINERS DECISION.
Reasons Why School In District No. 2
Need Not Be Reopened-oraded School
Privileges an Advantage.

Reasons Why School In District No. 2
Need Not Be Reopened-oraded School
Privileges an Advantage.
Bellows Falls. VT, March Is. 1906.
To the School Directors of the Town of
Brattleboro:
Rev. l.. M Keneston, Chairman: In
the matter of the petition of Fred A..
Fox and others, wherein a petition was
presented to me as county examiner re-
questing that school be opened and
maintained in what is known as district
No. in said Brattleboro. hereby make
the following decision
1t appears from evidence taken and
statements made before me at West Brat
tleboro on the 18th day of March. 1906,
that there has been no school in said
district No. since the spring of 1905:
that the pupils of said district were pro-
vided with school privileges at the acad-
envy building so called, in West Brattle-
boro; 1t also appeared that certain pa
rents having children preferred the pres
ent arrangement but 1t also appeared
that all but three children of school age
whose parents preferred to have school
at said district No. lived within one
mile of said academy building; it also
appeared to me that most of the, children
living more than one mile from said
dcduelny DuilulnB, would or necessity
have to be transported If the school ir
said district No. should be reopened ana
to transport them to said academy build
ing would make 1t necessary to carry
them only three-fourths of mile farther
than to said No. z buildlng;, Il appeared
TO me to be an unquestionable fact that
all the said children wsuld receive better
educational advantages at the graded
school which has been established at the
academy building than If the school We're
established at district No. 4; II appeared
in said graded school there were not
more than 10 pupils in any grade and
that the teachers were furnished so that
as rule each teacher had only two
grades In her school and that If a school
were established at said district No. 7
there would in all probability be children
of seven or eight grades.
Taking into consideration all these
facts, 1t is my opinion that 1t is to the
advantage of children in said section that
they be furnished with school privileges
at the graded school.
1t is therefore my decision that the d.
rectors of the town of Brattleboro be
not obliged, for the present, nor until
otherwise ordered to reopen the school
in said district No. Z.

Harry r. Horton arrived in Brattleboro
Saturday afternoon with the body of his
wife who died in Kalamazoo, Mich, in
the early morning of the day previous.
The body was taken to the home of Mrs,
Horizons sister, Mrs. McCrilis, on Elliot
street. The funeral was held Monday af-
ternoon in the chapel of the Baptist
church, when Rev. Geo. b. Lawson con-
Quoted a service full of tenderness and
sympathy, with fitting recognition of the
fact that there, among those surround
ings, had been the home of Mrs. Horizons
own religious life. Mr. Maynard sang
two selections. There were many beauti-
full flowers from friends and organizations
both in Kalamazoo and in Brattleboro.
The burial was in Morningside cemetery,
the bearers being relatives. Among those
present were Miss Nettie Norcross of
Springfield, Mass, Mrs w. w. Henry,
Misses May and Jean Horton and Miss
Florence Chase of Fitchburg Herbert
Norcross of Fishers Island, George A.
Dinsmore of New York George Horton
of Windsor Locks and j. Guy Simonds of
Springfield. this state. Miss Gertrude
Norcross, who had been In Florida, re-
turned on receipt of news OF Mrs. Hor-
toms death. Mr. Horton returned to Kali
amazoo yesterday. His son, who is four
years old, will live for the present with
his grandparents in West Dummerston.

Brattleboro, VT, March 2119O6
Mr.. George f. Crowell,
Brattleboro, VI.
Dear Sir:
Your open letter of March 18th was
duly received, contents, noted and has
been carefully considered 1 am free to
acknowledge the misunderstanding as to
the sample of water taken at Mr.. Bacon's
house and that 1t has no bearing on the
Pleasant Valley supply. However. by
your own statement. it was at the time
l took the sample a part of the reservoir
supply and what the consumers supplied
from the reservoir were getting
Your offer in regard to the taking of
water samples in the future has been
fully considered by the water board and
is respectfully declined. We do not
question your ability to take samples
properly, and we feel quite confident of
our own. 1t would seem to us to be
quite a needless amount of trouble.
Our samples will be taken from the
sources of supply mainly.
/ am informed by a resident of the
Pleasant Valley watershed that the
italian laborers on your works have been
in the habit of washing their clothes in
Pleasant Valley brook. This might add
something to the flavor Of the water and
increase the variety of microbes.
Very truly,
HENRY TUCKER.

1t was now Brattleboro's turn to howl,
and right here was introduced the war
dance, ct cetera.
In Doyle the Athletics had one of the
most effective players in northern New
England. While he did not score he was
a powerful factor in preventing scoring
on the other side. A large number of the
fouls called on Brattleboro were due to
his smuggling, and for this he was not al
together justified, although there was
more or less provocation. McGuigan was
a hard worker covering his position well
and assisting materially in the team
work. Long never showed up stronger
than in this game. better guard never
played on a Brattleboro team. Davey
put up his usual star performance. Russ
played the best game for Company d, al
though Beck and Smythe did excellent
work. McGovern was unable to score off
Davey, but in team work he was effective.

The Athletics, Record.

The basket ball season in Brattleboro
began with two teams, the Independents,
under the management of Allen & Cobb.
and the Athletics, under the management
of Dan Riley The Independents were
c. Martens. This team soon afterwards
disbanded and Long and Davey began
playing with the Athletics. The make
up of the Athletics then was Riley Ellis,
Stafford, Long and Davey, and 1t has re-
manned so ever since. although Haggerty
has played several games with the team.
Following is the record of the Athletics
as the team is now constituted with the
exception of the first game which was
played before Long and Davey became
members. In each instance the score of
the Athletics is last:

the fund. provided said trustees will
agree not to use the same for con-

will continue and should the decision be
