8. Mr.. Burnett is graduate of the Whit
comb high, class of 1902, and son Of
Frank r. Burnett of Northampton,
Mass. formerly Of Bethel. He is now
engaged in teaching at Huntsville, KY.
The disappointing news was received
last week that the K. c. Fisher company
had completed the purchase of large
i tannery located at West Lynn, Mass.
4 Earlier in the week, Mr.. E. c. Fisher was
seen by Bethel man and expressed him
self as confident that the company would
rebuild at Bethel Negotiations had been
/ on foot for some time for the purchase of
the West Lynn plant but they had appar-
emily fallen through, but the deal was
closed Aug. %.
Town Schools Begin the Year.
Schools in the Mountain district and
the Preston district began last Monday.
Next Tuesday the remaining schools
begin with the following teachers - East
Bethel, Miss Caroline Weymouth; Quarry
district, Miss Annie Fowler; Christian
Hill, Miss - of Mortified. Miss
Bernice Flint is teacher in the Old Church
district and Mrs. r. L. Wills in Gilead,
both OF which began last Monday.
The school year this year will consist
OF thiFty-two weeks, an increase Of two
weeks over the customary length. The
winter term will be OF twelve weeks and
the other two terms Of ten weeks each.
1 This applies to all the schools in the
town district.
The school directors have decided to
maintain a school doing the first years
work in high school studies in the Lynn
pus district and have engaged as q teacher
Miss Pauline Kent of Morrisville, q grad
uate of the University Of Vermont last
June. There are fi@e pupils in the dis
trict ready for high school work, and
having the school in the district will
meet their convenience and at the same
time il will not be more expensive TO
the town district than paying for ad-
vanced tnition at the Whitcomb high.
Another reason is that q legal school with
the required attendance could not be
maintained in this district without the
/ attendance OF these i've scholars and the
district would not draw its share OF the
state aid. The school directors have the
cooperation OF Principal J. C. Walker and
the same books will be used as in the
first years work in the w. II. s.
