INTEREST AT q PER
CENT. AND BANKING
BY MAIL

Commencing July the Lamoille County
Savings Bank & Trust Co. Of Hyde Park,
Vt, subjest to certain limitat ions, will
pay interest at four per cent where
money remains in the bank one year or
more.
The entire assets Of this bank are kept
in Vermont and loaned to Vermonters to
foster Vermont enterprises and to develop
Vermont industries. This benefits YER
mont. and makes for the security Of the
bank. 1t means as near absolute safety
Of the depositor's money as it is possible
to have. a fact fully proven by the other
fact that since the organization of the
bank in 1899 II has never lost a dollar by
a poor note nor has it now, so far as
known, a single piece Of poor or doubt
ful paper.
The securities of the bank are at home
where they can be personally examined
and passed upon by its officials, having in
view not only the material but the moral
hazard which is oftentimes the greater
hazard surrounding an investment.
Safety of principal rather than high
rates of interest has always governed In
the investments Of this bank. 1t is es-
senually the peoples bank and the people
have confidence in its management and
its safety. Its assets, together with the
liability Of the stockholders, offer a guar
anty of more than 20 per cent. Of the
entire deposits that no depositor shall
suffer loss.
Banking by mail, a speciality with this
bank, is not only safe, but easy. Send
your address on a postal to F. NJ. Culver,
Treas, or to c. S. Page, Pres, and you
will receive by the first mail valuable in
formation touching the affairs Of this
| bank. 26-2S

JAMAICA.
Good Work in the Schools.

III, graduation exercises oI the gram
mar school of Jamaica village were held
in accordance with tho program published
i'm The Phoenix. The adoption OF grad
nation exercises arises from the fact that
during the past year, ON tho initiative OF
the present superintendent Of schools, a
beginning has been made IN grading the
schools OF the town. This being the cas-"
there should he a public Observance to
which the members Of the upper grade
may look forward as the end Of the school
course. The recent graduation exercises
were crcditahle to the pupils and 10 their
teacher. Miss ORourko. who has done
good work in the past year.
In considering the work Of the schools
sight should never he lost Of the primary
departments Too often this is regarded
as of less importance than the upper
grades. on the contrary, much Of the
faulty work among older pupils is the re-
suit of inefficient teaching in the lower
grades The child who has not good
start does not catch up later on. The
Jamaica village school has been unusu-
ally fortunate in having for teacher OF It's
primary department for two full years
one who has been abundantly qualified
for the work, Miss Mabel Z. Howard OF
Townshond.
As the term closes the directors would
commend the pupils Of the village fol
