The Isle La Motto Celebration.

The Groton Times has the following
appreciative and discriminating tribute
of the last day of the Tercentenary
celebration:
Burlington and Isle La Motto were at
their best and entertained royalty. The
historical address at Isle La Motto by
Judge Wendell p. Stafford was a classic
and historical gem. An Grafton of such
power, of such fraternal and religious
sentiment that the vast concourse were
moved; of such artistic beauty and
poetic finish delivered with such force
and eloquence that not person who
heard it will ever forget Judge Stafford.
A close second was the remarks and
PRAYER of Rev. John NJ. Thomas, D. D.,
president OF Middlebury College. 1t was
here at Isle La Motto that the religious
worship of God was instituted on Yer
mont soil three hundred years ago, and |
it was here on the very spot, on Friday,
July 9th, that the veil between religious |
creeds was rent asunder; for it was here |
the most eminent prelates of the Catholic
church held solemn mass and preached
patriotic history and untramelled re-
ligion, hand in hand with the Protestant.
1t was here that every last cloud of
religious intolerance seemed to be lifted
and waited away, and dissolved into
thin air, revealing in all its power and
glory the Fatherhood of God and
Brotherhood of Man. 1t was here that
France, England, Canada and the United
States kueeled around a common altar
earnest, sincere prayers of
peace on earth and good will towards
men," 1t was here that tablet was
dedicated to the memory of Seth Warner
and Remember Baker, patriot heroes of
our early days. 1t was here in this
great cathedral of nature whose dome is
The vaulted sky, that the voice of song
rolled from hundreds of hearts, touched
BY power universal.
Over all the exercises on Vermont soil
George H. Prouty, governor, presided
With grace and dignity. Thus auspic-
ously is inaugurated new chapter in
he history of the world; of our country
md of our grand old Green Mountain
tate. May these events be gathered in
permanent form, that future generations
nay be benefited, and may the pages
hereof never gather the mildew of non
Use and indifference.

Precautionary Notes.

The Central Vermont and the Rutland
railroads handled the crowds splendidly
on Burlingtons big day, though they
were tremendously handicapped by
having inadequate track facilities at
Burlington's union station. The rail.
road managers had to do lot of
planning to move such a crowd and
they succeeded admirably
The difficult problem of locating a
monument to Champlain or spot that
will meet the approval of both COM
missions was happily solved by Pres
ident Taft, who suggested that another
Colossus of Rhodes be built somewhere
on the lake with one foot resting in
New York and the other in Vermont.
The celebration was splenddly covered
by the metropolitan press and the news

St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1909-07-21

If DR.. Webb's son takes any pride in
the fact that he ran his French racing
machine at the rate of Sc miles an hour
from Bennington to Troy, N. Y. last
Friday, he ought to be informed that
every one else in Vermont is not only
indignant at his reckless performance,
but ashamed that the incident occurred
in the Green Mountain state. Nothing
does more to perpetuate and intensity
the hatred of the farmers against the
automobile than this utter disregard of
the laws of the state and the rights of
other people.

Ball Too Small.
The hard hitting and large scores
made in the games yesterday are ac
counted for by the fact that the size
of the ball which was played with was
considerably smaller than the one used
in the exhibition games here The
large ball which has circumference
of some IL inches is in some ways bet
ter fitted to the indoor game than is
the smaller one and this is mostly be
cause of the fact that the larger ball
is harder to hit safely, and cannot be
hit so far, either The small ball can
be thrown at almost the speed of a
baseball and that is too fast for indoor
work, the result being that thrown
balls are frequently missed, letting in
many runs. 1t would be well worth
trying the experiment of playing a few
games with the large sized hall in or
der to see if it would not hold the
scores down and keep the teams on
more of an equal footing In case the
small ball is retained, however, the
players can reasonably be expected to
get accustomed to it and after a short
time the scores will be cut down

Manual Training
IN A SPECIAL {
CLASS
Will Request Board of Education to
Arrange for Series of Lessons at
the High School.

A number of prominent business and
professional men of the city have be.
come intss4sd in the manual training
which is being taught at the high
school to such an extent that they are
planning to organize class and take
up the course of instruction them.
selves. About 10 of them have signi
fled desire to join such class. and
they will go before the school board at
| it's next meeting and ask for it's for.
NAL permission to hold the class at the
high school manual training rooms
either one or two evenings each week
1t is understood that the members OF
the board and the superintendent OF
schools and principal of the high
school are heartily in favor of the idea,
and it simply remains for the members
of the class to show up without being
tardy and the class will be an assured
thing.
Will Take Regular Course.
The class will take up a course in
woodwork such as is given to the stu
| dents at the high school, and before
many lessons they will be able to
make such things as pedestals, library
tables and fixtures for their dens
which they will value far above any.
thing they could purchase. 1t is like.
| ly that both Mr. Kerns, instructor of
manual training, and Mr.. Hill, instruc
tor of mechanical drawing at the high
school. will act as teachers for the
men who will make up the night class
The proposition to organize the class
was initiated by several of the more
enthusiastic business men, and the
school authorities look upon it with
favor.
Shows Value of the Course.
1t will be remembered that the in.
PRODUCTION of manual training in the
schools some years ago met with some
opposition, but that since then it has
grown until it is recognized as one OF
the best assets of the school system
| 1t has done wonders towards keeping
the boys in school who would other
wise drop out, and at the same time
| it has furnished very practical
course of study The organization OF
a class of business and professional
men who would take up the course at
| night and whose estimation of the
value of the course would be bound
to increase with their knowledge OF
! it, would help towards enlarging the
course as far as the grades are con
cerned in case the school authorities
should find that advisable.
