The Governor on our Schools.

Gov. Proctor has taken deep interest
in our educational system and some OF
his strongest campaign utterances were
urgent appeals for district supervision
and similar reforms. The last Legisla-
ture followed his leadership and a
notable step in advance was taken. The
Governor addressed an educational
meeting in Rutland last week, speaking
on the principal features of the new
legislation.
He characterized the school supervision
feature OF the new educational laws as
the most important bill passed by the
last legislature. ut will mark the
legislature of 1906 as having done more
for the state of Vermont than any previ-
Gus legislature in many years." he said
Supervision is not obligatory. The
speaker believed that the whole propo-
sition had back Oft the improvement of
the schools of Vermont. There has been
considerable change in Vermont in the
last % or 40 years. Formerly the
parents assisted the younger children in
the home more than they do today. 1t
is the duty of the state of Vermont to
meet these changed conditions. If the
state fails to meet them it is sure to re-
suit most injuriously. Foreigners are
coming into the communities in Vermont
more and more and it will be advantage
GUS and help to the state if their child
rem are educated to be good American
citizens.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
state provide better and different educa-
tional facilities than ever before. To get
results it is necessary to bring in touch
with the students and teachers those
trained and skilled in the particular line
of work. Teachers would be so per cent
better if they had help from trained
minds. Local boards of education are
not equipped to help them and it is not
to be wondered if they sometimes get
discouraged. There must be a proper
educational sentiment aroused in each
community to build up and educate Yer
mont children.
at is better for the cause of education
to close the high schools of Vermont and
put the principals at the head of graded
schools than to continue under present
conditions among the smaller schools.
We would get better education, better
satisfaction" said the governor. II
believe that if the supervision law is
tried as it should be it will be finally
made obligatory. Only by taking hold
ofit rightly can we expect to accomplish
the hoped for result"

Fred L. Laird has sold the Capital

At the recent village meeting in New
port a committee was appointed with
authority to offer inducements to a gas
company to install plant there. A very
important measure was passed which

victory for the Peoples company as it

Hieh Pressure DAVIS.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the
demands of business, the wants of the
family, the requirements of society, more
numerous. The first effect of the praise
worthy effort to keep up with all these
things is commonly seen in weakened
or debilitated condition of the nervous
system, which results in dyspepsia,
defective nutrition of both body and
brain, and in extreme cases in complete
nervous prostration. 1t is clearly seen
that what is needed is what will sustain
the system, give vigor and tone to the
nerves, and keep the digestive ana
assimilative functions healthy and
active. From personal knowledge we
can recommend Hoods Sarpaparilla Tor
this purpose. 1t acts on all the vita,
organs, builds up the whole system, ana
fits men and women for these high
pressure days.

have been marvellous. The st. Au-

completely mystifying the audience

Of the largest audiences assembled in
Palatka this season. All the partici-
pants in the cotiilion and various
fancy dances executed their parts in
very excellent manner, evidencing
the most skiliful training. To say
that the audience was well pleased
with the entertainment would be eX-
pressing it mildly. At the close of
the regular program an intermission
of half an hour was announced, when
those taking part in the cotillion re-
paired to Smiths ice cream parlors
where refreshments were served.
A dance followed and this proved II
fitting conclusion to an event that
will linger long as pleasant men,

present. Miss DevereuX is to be con-
graduated upon the great success
achieved by her pupils.
