Humphreys imagined that there had been
| foul play with their son and that the
asylum officials were guilty of II or
knowing to It. Another idea was that
Arden had been shut up in the institution,
and to settle the latter point two Rutland
officials accompanied the boys aunt 20
! Brattleboro to make a personal examina-
ton of the institution.
A movement for an investigation by the
Legislature of 1890 was begun, and in
answer to a petition by 80 Rutland citi-
zens a resolution was introduced by the
Rutland representative for the appoint
ment of a special commission to investl-
gate the asylum to find out whether any
persons had been killed in the institution
whose deaths had not been reported, and
g., ecially Ito find ald investigate and
report all the facts relative to the myster-
ious disappearance Of one Arden II
Humphrey" The resolution passed tho
House, but was killed in the Senate
FATHER SOLD HIS FARM.
In the following year the boys father
sold his farm to raise money to continue
the search for his son. The natural dis
tress of the parents caused the case to
be kept continually in mind by Rutland
people, and in 1892 a moro determined eff
fort was made to secure q legislative in
vestigation Of the case. About that time
public suspicion had been aroused by the
statement of an insane woman who hal
been transferred from the Brattleboro re-
treat to the State asylum at Waterbury
and afterwards discharged.
She declared that Humphrey had been
stripped and horsewhipped for a trivial
offence and had then killed himself %
cover his shame. A story also was re-
vived of the death of patient which had
never been reported this patient having
met violent death at the hands of an.
other patient in the night.
On this general basis, the case went TO
the Legislature Witnesses were sum-
moned to Montpelier and a hea ring was
held. The committee on insane visited
the institution, canvassed the whole sub
1ect. and finally recommended that the
petition for an Investigation be dismissed.

these less fortunate families are sent to
the shop or mill where mental develop-
ment Is small and, owing to their inabil-
| ity to fill the more responsible positions.
they make little If any Industrial develop
ment.
) TO this class of people unable to give
their children the development necessary
to make them skilled workers a night
training school Is fast becoming an actual
necessity. To properly meet this necessity
may become one of the strongest influen-
ces for industrial prosperity and the de-
velopment of good citizenship The city's
greatest Industrial need today is class
of laborers able to do the higher grades
of manufacturing for wages largely in ex-
cess OF those they can command as COM
mon laborers In fact Americas great
demand is for artisans and men with
good trades. People are beginning to real
lie this and to prepare for 1t and the
towns and cities who first recognize this
demand and furnish the first supplies of
these superior workmen will receive the
greatest benefits. Other cities are already
agitating and some even voting for these
industrial schools and Burlington should
enter the list.
While ii may not be practical to sug-
gest at present definite plan for this
school, because we are not prepared to
meet the expense OF such a movement, |
ask you as representatives of Burlington
citizens in connection with the school
authorities the manufacturing and com
mercial interests of this city, to give this
matter immediate thought and study and
see If we cannot devise some way of
helping the great laboring families of
4 htp
teligent, more useful and more valuable
and patriotic citizens. TO do this would
not only make Burlington better but
would undoubtedly increase its material
prosperity.
IN CONCGUSION.
Other maters might properly be mention
ed at this time but will await fuller know
ledge before attempting to discuss them.
Enough has been said to show that the
work before us is great. Greater still are
the expectations of the public from us.
That mistakes will be made is inevitable.
But we must not finch or fail but
the work with courage, NEE
the publics expectations so far as pos
sble, obliterate the mistakes by accom- |
plishments. temper our zeal with judg- |
ment, surrender our personal selfishness |
to the call of public duty. and We shall |
add materially to the fame, success, good
government and advancement that our !
city, the most beautiful on earth, longs
for and so richly deserves
