Lecture on Child Study ronInht

Prof Edward p. st. John of the Hart
ford school of religious pedagogy will
give the first in his series of lectures on
child study in the Congregational chapel
tonight at o'clock, taking as his sub
ject Early childhood, the kindergarten
Period, from the second to about the
fifth year" Though these lectures are
given under the auspices of the Brattle-
boro Sunday school union and are pri-
marily intended to make the work of the
Sunday school teacher more effective
they are just as significant for parents
and day school teachers as it Is funda-
mental chlld nature with which he deals
Not only are his lectures Illuminating
and instructive but they are highly enter
taining as well for his fund of pithy
stories of dOings and sayings of chill
dren is well nigh boundless The exec
utlve committee of the Sunday school
union wrestled with the problem of
financing the course of lectures all this
week and at last decided that they would
he free to the public. At the same time
n determined effort is being made to Sc
cure a large number of members for
the Sunday school union in hopes that the
small fees for membership will cover a
considerable part of the expense of get
ting Prof St John here. The executive
committee is in a way throwing the
course on the generosity of the public and
hopes that the response will be so gem
erous that little money will have to be
raised by subscription The lectures are
worth the nominal price of membership
many times over Co anyone interested in
. bringing up children but the executive
committee wants no one debarred from
attending for any reason whatsoever.

A Strong Savings institution

The strength of a Savings Bank de-
ponds not alone on the size of its de-
posts nor the number of its depositors.
1t depends rather upon the kind of Sc
curities in which the management invest
their funds and the care with which these
securities are looked after. The Dandy
Mirror evidently thinks these conditions
are we'll met in the Hyde Park Savings
Bank. 1t says:
Beginning July LIST the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. OF
Hyde Park, VT, will pay four per cent
Interest on deposits remaining in its care
for year or more. This is a particularly
strong savings institution, and during its
existence mas invested the money Of its
deposltors wholly In the state and mas
never lost a dollar. Hon. Carroll S. Page,
one of the most able business men in
Vermont, and the states honored ex-
Governor, is president Of the bank-the
kind Of a president who knows at all
times how the affairs Of the bank are
being conducted, and is ever active in
promoting its interests and protecting It's
deposltors against possible loss.

houses were in session and number
of auxiliary organizations held meet

Church" does not involve change of
name, and the opponents claiming to
the contrary. In the house of depu-
ties the report of the committee on
marriage and divorce was read, it be-
ing practically the same as that pre-
scented by the house of bishops several
days ago, in which the activity of all
Christian bodies in restricting the mar
riage of divorced couples is highly en-
dorsed. 1t urges the utmost vigilance
and discipline in the church in secur-
ing the most perfect safeguards for the
sanctity of the marriage vows. 1t es-
pecially sets forth that divorced per-
sons are at all times required to have
their past record made clear In seeking
the sanction of the church. The reso-
luton to accept the report and sanction
the action of the bishops was laid on
the table until the receipt of a message
from the house of bishops.
