Outline Course in Nature Study for the
Schools of Vermont. By Della /. Grimm;
director of the Fairbanks Museum OF
Natural Science and recently supervisor OF
Nature Study in Newton, Mass. Paper
covers, PIP. "a. Published by The CALEDo-
MAN Company.
This is the second edition of former
manual, pui,Iished under the auspices OF
the educational department of the state,
and the new edition has been thorough
" revised and enlarged. The preface OF
three pages has a whole lecture on
Nature Study condensed and presented
in such a way that all must be con-
WINGED" writes one of the leading
scientists in Vermont after reading the
book. The first half of the book is de-
voted to a plan for ungraded schools
with an outline plan for each month in
the school year. 1t is in these schools,
of course, that the teacher finds it more
difficult to arrange any nature study,
but this manual solves the problem and
covers animate and inanimate things as
well as the rudiments of our most inn
portant sciences. The last half of the
book gives a detailed plan of work for
each grade SO that no teacher need ever
hesitate as to what branch OF work
should be taken up by her school. There
is great deal of timeliness about the
whole plan, the spring months being de
voted largely to the study of plants and
birds, while minerals, elementary cleo
tricity and trees are studied in the win
ter.
The book is packed with suggestions
from cover to cover and the subject is SO
clearly and attractively presented that it
cannot help fulfilling the authors earnest
hope that it may become help and in
spiration to the teachers of Vermont. 1t
will easily rank as one Of the best CON
tributions to nature study in our
schools that has appeared.

1The Magistrate"

Pinero's farce, 6 The Magistrate, was
presented at Music Hall, Thursday and
Friday evenings, by splendid caste of
St. Tohnsbury people, members OF the
New Music Hall Dramatic Club. If this
is an example of the work the club can
do the town has much to anticipate.
1t was admirably staged and presented
and the parts as whole were far better
taken than is usual in amateur perform
ances. Much credit is due Miss Marion
Ellis who drilled the company. She is a
graduate of the Emerson College of
Oratory and the drilling she gave for
among the Breakers" and "The Mag
istrate" certainly produced highly credit
liable results.
The Magistrate is one of the most
laughab farces ever seen here and
furnished an evening of pure fun for all
who attended. The complications were
all amusing and even the dramatic stu
ations were too absurd to be serious.
The parts were all well taken but some
were more difficult and more prominent.
Chauncev Adams, as Mr. P0sket, mag
istrate of the Mulberry police court, was
a great success. He was on the stage
most of the time and certainly acted the
doting husband and gullibe step.father
to perfection. c. T. Walter as Mr..
Bullamy, Posket's brother magistrate,
was the clown OF the evening and like
wise the deus ex machna" in untang-
ling the plot in the last act. The part of
Col. Lukyn, from Bengal retired, was
finely taken by Stephen g. Waterman
who made a typical soldier, abrupt and
peremptory, but chiyalrous to women
and solicitous for his friends. Miss Eva
Wilde, as Mrs Posket, was charming
All her troubles came from misrepresent-
ing her age during her courtship. She
was equally good in sweetly domestic
scenes and in family quarrels and quite
lived up to the reputation she had
already established as having unusual
dramatic ability. The part OF her sister,
Charlotte, was taken by Miss Marion
Fairbanks, who made a typical girl-ot-
the-age and was at her best in humour-
Gus scenes.
Raymond Hall as Cis harrington,
Mrs Posket' son by former marriage,
was one of the most natural performers.
Cts is really 10 but dressed like boy of
IA, to carry out the idea that Mrs.
Posket is only 80. Some of the most
amusing passages occur when he is on
the stage. c. 6. Braley acted the part
of Capt Horace Vale, hopelessly in love
with Charlotte, very we'll indeed. Mrs.
Raymond Hall as Beatie Tomlinson, a
music teacher, and much in love with
Cts, was very attractive. Dale Atwood
took the part of Achille Blond, the
smooth, oily Frenchman, splendidly, and
all felt sorry that he was on the stage so
little. Lindol Scott made a typical hotel
waiter, and James F. Smith looked and
acted the house servant to perfection
Carl ]. Green was the dignifed head clerk
whose red tie furnished no end of fun.
DR.. J. L. Miner differed from the Ameri-
can Inspector, in that he was not for
sale. John Woods and DIR. II. K. Allen
acted the parts of policemen well and
Miss Lena Pike made a neat, saucy
housemaid.
All who saw the play are looking for
ward to the next production by the New
Music Hall Dramatic Club, "The
Teaser," on April 81.

New County Jail.

1t begins to look now as if Caledonia
county would soon have modern jail,
one that will be pride to the county.
Judges George F. Eastman of Walden
and ]. Frank Ruggles of West Burke
have the matter in charge, the third
member of the commission. Col. T. c.
Fletcher, having resigned. 1t has been
decided to build new jail on the
lot on Cherry street where the present
jail stands. The new building will be OF
brick, thoroughly sanitary and up-to-
date in every way. The interior will be
of steel with modern locking devices.
The building will be considerably larger
than the present structure, and more
convenient.
The legislature of 1906 appropriated
$4,000 for the erection of a jail, the
money to be raised in three years by the
county.

The annual inspection of Company .
occurred Friday evening Owing to the

coded to be the best conducted camp in
the state.

A Boston Sugar Party.

One of the most delightful social
affairs of the season for Vermonters re-
siding in and near Boston was the
"Sugaring Off" party given at Hotel
Westminster by the Vermont Associa-
ton last Thursday evening. A novel
feature was the reproduction of a sugar
camp with evaporators, sugar spouts,
buckets, yokes, and all the paraphernalia
usually seen and used in sap collecting
and sugar making The snow for the
occasion was imported from Corinth and
kept in cold storage until it was needed.
About 400 guests were served to new
sugar on snow, doughnuts, apples and
pop corn, after which Col. Charles K.
Darling announced that the ball room
was in waiting and there many partici-
pated in the old-fashioned dances, be-
ginning with Portland Fancy, inter-
spersed with an occasional waltz and
two-step. Those not participating in
dancing renewed old acquaintance in
the beautiful reception room and lobby
of the Westminster and in the rooms OF
the Association.
