them as they do about the constitution.
Even Governor Hughes stopped when,

A COMMUNITY CENTER.
Rural District Near Spokane May Have
Consolidated Country School

Rural District Near Spokane May nave
Consolidated Country School.
When the country life commission Of
the state OF Washington, appointed re.
Gently by Gov. E. Hay, meets in Spokane
the week OF November IA, plans viii be
presented for a model community center
and consolidated country school, to be
established in one of the rural districts
adjoining Spokane early in 1911, accord
ing to the Country Gentleman. This is
to be the preliminary step Of an en-
deavor to teach the youth the fmea-
mental principles Of agricultural and do
nestle economy and manual and indus
trial training, also giving the farmers
IN the communities the benefit Of the
most approved methods OF agriculture
and allied subjects The community
center is designed to furnish place
whore men and women can meet for the
interchange Of ideas,
Primarily, the school is for the aver
age boy and girl, whose institutional
education ends even before they finish
the secondary school, the purpose being
to train them to become capable OF sup
porting themselves. The commission has
prepared tentative plans for a commun-
ity center, including a consolidated rural
school 1t is designed TO cover 10 acres,
and viii serve a school area of 80 square
miles. the most distant point being three
miles. In addition to the school building,
the plans show a community hall, resi-
denee for the principal, athletic and play
grounds, tennis court, water tanks, and
plats for the practice OF agriculture, hor
ticulture, Horticulture and forestry. Sur
rounding and bisecting the tracts will
be models OF good road building. In the
community han viii be a bureau of in-
formation, containing all the available
data of federal and state departments
of agriculture and experiment stations
in the country, also books and journals
The community center is to be made
beautiful with trees, shrubs. flowers and
lawns, and no saloon or other CONNER

half a mile of its boundaries. The key
note Is that the best defense against
misfortune is to give every child in the
country such education as will enable il
to make its own living on a piece OF
land, if necessary, when it becomes of
age. II is also proposed to launch 4
urging the people Of the open
country to work together, not merely
with the view to forwarding their own
economic interests or in competing with
those who are organized, but to develop
themselves and establish an effective
community spirit. The consolidated ru-
raj school win be similar to graded
city institution, the betterment of the
curriculum being by emphasizing indus
trial and manual training and domestic
science, and adding such other studies
as will give the students a knowledge
OF things with which they come in con
tact in actual life, and presenting means
Of working out the chief studies in prac-
tice. II is also purposed to teach the
students the principles of business. How
ever, the value of agriculture as the
greatest of all industries will be con-
stantly kept to the fore

Turning cemeteries Into Parks.

The well-known landscape architect,
Howard Evarts Weed, writing a Sub
urbanA Life for November, says that
there can be but one solution of the
old graveyard problem, and that is to
make the graveyards into public parks.
Continuing, he says: THE city Of Gait,
Ontario, has solved the problem in a
most interesting way, and the example
may well be followed by other cities.
Some years ago there was an abandoned
graveyard, just adjoining the business
district, which was taken In nand by
the park board and made into a public
park The monuments were gathered
Ftogether and used to make the supports
of pergola, while the headstones were
placed between these supports, facing
both inside and outside This pergola
mas cement floor. Some of the in
seriptions can be read quite plainly,
but others are too weatherbeaten to be
made out Lincoln park, Of Chicago,
was once graveyard. Eastside of Ian
sing, Michigan, was the first cemetery
of that city, and public playground
in Wabash, Indiana, was graveyard
until two years ago"

E. N. ROSCOE ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF TEACHERS
At Closing Session of the Convention
Which Was Held In Burlington
On Saturday Resolutions
Adopted.

Burlington, Oct. 3l.-The closing ses-
sion of the Vermont State Teachers as
ISOLATION was held Saturday morning at
the high school building. After deyo-
tional exercises conducted by Rev. l. G..
Smart, business session was held aft
er which the closing address was made
by Dr. Paul II. Hanus, dean OF school
OF pedagogy Of Harvard university on
Education and Social Progress" Adj
jounment was then taken.
The registrations of teachers was $50,
and will equal thousand before the
annual report is printed A year ago it
was ,l04. The enrolment at this con-
vention is considered remarkably good,
however, in view of the fact that the
place of meeting was changed from Rut
land to Burlington short time before
the convention and the additional fact
Of rain during the sessions which doubt
less kept many teachers away.
Invitations We're received from the
Montpelier board of trade and from the
burlington Commercial club for the con-
yention next year The time and place
was lett to the executive committee.
The following officers were elected
Saturday:
President Superintendent /. NJ Ros-
coe, Springfield.

The Resolutions.

The teachers OF Vermont in conven-
ton assembled express their heartfelt
appreciation of the generous hospitality
of the citizens of Burlington, Of the
admirable provisions for the comfort and
entertainment Of visiting teachers, and
of the splendid work of the, officers Of
the convention.
We cordially indorse the progressive
legislation Of past years and believe
that farther legislation is necessary to
render conditions most favorable for eff
fieient school work. Adequate provision
should he made at once for an agrieul
tural school Of secondary grade where
boys graduating from elementary schools
may learn the facts, principles, and
methods essential to successful farm
ing.
We heartily approve Of the policy of
the state to make its normal schools
more efficient agencies in training teach
ers. We would urge upon the state the
wisdom OF making appropriations ade-
quate TO the employment and retention
OF the hest teachers The term of GER
tifeation for graduates of normal schools
as now constituted should be length
ened.
The state should pay a bounty to
towns which expend fifty cents on
dollar OF their grand list for school pur-
poses and pay minimum salary and
employ graduates of Vermont normal
schools who graduate after 1910.
We would urge all school officials
and friends Of education generally to
do everything possible to increase the
number OF trained teachers in the state
We believe minimum salary and
definite system Of pensions for teachers
would attract and hold many who could
and should become teachers but do not
on account Of meagre wages
Some provisions should be made to
insure tenure of position for teachers
who do satisfactory work for a pre-
scrihed time.
All normal school pupils should be re-
quired by law to attain a minimum
education standard before leaving the
school
All school officials should give more
careful attention to cases Of non.promo
ton.
We respectfully urge the passage Of
biil HiHklHR % NechS htCteeaAy AVA
legal school year.
We believe that no children should
be allowed to enter public school
other than kindergarten under six
years Of age.
The representatives Of Vermont in
Congress are earnestly requested to use
all honorable means to secure an ap.
preparation for the U. S. bureau Of edu
cation for the purpose Of organizing a
corp Of field specialists to further edu-
eational progress
The report was signed by o. D.

woman's Club Will Provide District
Nurse, Aided by Residents.

The Montpelier Woman's club intends
to advance the idea Of this city hay-
ing district nurse and hopes to have
the enterprise under way as soon as
January. At present the club has not
sufficient funds to keep the work going,
but it is thought the public spirited
citizens of the place would not let the
idea be given up when once it had been
established. The services of sucn a
nurse would be subject to the call of
local physicians, in cases where limited
means prohibit the hiring of regular
trained nurse Calls from house to
house, the directing Of the family as
to the best WAYS Of caring for the pa
tient, including bathing, bandagng, etc,
are but few Of the duties of such a
nurse. Each day the district nurse calls
on the i'll ones under her care, giving
information and courage to those car
ing for them.
