Prof. Gilman Low. the so-called

Ing man can conquer JeffrieB. the
most wonderful human specimen he
ever inspected.
Jeffries has greater length. in
proportion, from his shoulders 10
his elbows. from his hips to
his knees and from hla ankles 10 his
toes, than most men of his weight
and height. Low says.
These are the three speed motive
stations OF the human body. Speed
is subject 10 the ratio which the
length OF these three bodily sections
bears to the length OF the lower
measurements. namely. from the
elbows to the wrists and from the
knees 10 the ankles. In other
words. Jeffrlea has greater length
from his hips 10 his knees than
from his knees 10 his ankles.
The second reason Is the size aud
solidity Of his muscles--not, how.

Those who are dependent upon annual

tion of things in the administration Of
ntbNc affairs, will note by the annual
reports Of the various officials In the
school department of Barre that high
standard is being maintained and that
If is tho constant aim Of those IN charge
to raise the efficiency of the system
Those who have other sources Of infor-
nation than annual reports were already
convcrsant with those facts.
That the officials of the schools are
alive to the present-day necessities Of
"a public school system is shown by their
reiterated demand for that worry impor-
tant adjunct of school lifc-a public
playground. We hear little about such
a necessity in Vermont communities, be-
cause in most towns tho children have
unrestrained freedom Of all the play
grounds that nature affords; but as the
manufacturing communities develop and
gradually usurp tho fields and opon ex
panses. tho opportunities for play are
narrowed until as last resort the chill
dron have to take to the street for
their amusement. Barre. Rutland and
burlington. for instance, while not large

of no greater size than these three YER

demand and at public expense created
a common place for games, sports and
Just play. This same demand is growing
stronger in Barre every year, and the

$1,000 of the States money during the
