HENS IN THE ORCHARD.

stock in our orchards, but have conclHG-

THE FIRST NORMAL SCHOOL.

(trom the Montpelier Journal)
In his last annual report Hon. Masol
:. Stone, State superintendent of educ
ton called attention 20 the fact tina
the first normal school on the America
continent was established at Concor,
Corners. In this State. In March. 1879
by Samuel X. Hall. Having opened
school for teachers, a class Of elemen
tary lupils was admitted to afford prac
tice In teaching and MANAGEMENT. /,
1879. Mr. Halls Lectures on School
keeping" were published and became, /
is said standard work on pedagogical
subjects.
In his "IIistory Of EducatiOn," Boon,
says: MIR. Hall Is the American Heel,
cr--tAc pioneer in the wo,k which mos.
distinguishes recent from early schoolina
in the United States" or this pioneer
school Hon. Henry l.. Barnard, an emf
nent educator said: Here. in an alb
scure corner in New England, under tho
hand of one WHO was to a remar!Sa le

Vermont would benefit herself greatly.
and honor the memory OF the pioneer
educator, By est; hlishing one central ir
stitution for the training OF teachers
which should be known as the Samuel
K, Hall Normal school. II we consider
the subject apart from the influence of
local preJui;Ces We know that IT Ia n
wasteful not to say n ridiculous promo
s,ion, for Vermont to attempt to main
tain three small and feeble norma,
schools, when one normal school woull
give better service. Many of our would
be teachers to-day are attending the
modern normal schools OF other States
in order to obtain what they cannot get
at home. whc present normal schools
might probably DC turned into agricul-
tural and manual training schools which
are needed in this state
Vermont may take pride in having the
first normal school but her people can
not take pride In their normal school
system to-day. How much longer is the
present satisfactory method to con-
tinue?

two orchards row side by side; one with
hogs, and one with hens and the hens
have by far the best of the argument.
Besides the fact of being able to use
the orchards for the hens to run in, as
you can do with no other stock. and so
getting two crops or the same ground.
the labor Of harvesting the fruit comes in
summer and fall when there Is very little
TO do with the hens, while the winter
season, with It's heavy work with the
hens. has almost nothing we can do in

WHAT OUR NEICHBORS SAY
The Small salaries Received by Rur,.
school Teachers in Vermont.

(From the Barre Times.)
School teachers in certain rural town.
of Massachusetts are crying out against
the injustice of salaries of $3.50 a year
What do they think about the unfortu-
nate lot of some of our 81 week teach
ers in Vermont? If n salary of 1910 Is
not commensurate with the work which
the Massachusetts rural teachers are
doing, then certainly seven dollars Il
week do not make an equitable recon-
pcnse to the women who are trying tc
train the young people under the disad.
vantagos of the rural school systems IL
remote parts of Vermont. There prob
ably are not q great many districts whict
pay so low as seven dollars per week
but tho average Is far too low for the
good of our schools. The Boston Tran
script. IN taking up tho matter In Mas
sachusctts hints that state aid--mor G
State aid-nay be necessary to bring vi
the standard of wages there. Says the
contemporary:
IN none of these towns are the sal.
aries such as are attractive to those who
have given the time and money required
for graduation at normal schools. thong
there ale undoubtedly many competent
teachers in their schools. Better pay,
better service, is as true of school teach
Ing as Of other employmcnts and the
time may not be far distant when the
small towns may require more help thar
they at present receive from the State
even to hold their Cwn-against the COM
petition of the large places"
he State oi Vermont has already
given largely the support of the pull
lie school System through recent legisla-
ton; but the result OF that aid have
not been made apparent In public reports
because of the comparative newness OF
the movement. We shall expect to hear
however, of less complaint in the matte
of salaries paid teachers in the more re-
mote districts.

AltitOXin Can Be Had by All.

The new State regulations for
the distribution of antitoxin by the
State Health Department have
gone into effect and health workers
throughout the State are rejoicing
that this great remedy is now
within the reach of all citizens at a
minimum cost. The new rules.
which have Just been issued. per-
NIT the sale of antitoxin to any
citizen of Virginia at 40 cents PEI
thousand units, with a small add.
tlonal cost for shipment and for
syringe. This makes the cost OF
antitoXin for an advanced case
S1.S9 or about 20 per cent of the
former retail cost.
Under the new arrangement
with the manufactures of antitoxin.
the State Board of Health will
furnish TO any physician for the
use of any person suffering from
dyphtheria, such antitoxin as he
may require, provided he may be
responsible for the purchase price.
This antitoxin is to be shipped as
soon as ordered and bill is TO be
rendered by the manufacturer.
While these regulations place no
restriction on the persons to whom
antitoXin may be sold, and hence
make the remedy available on short
notice, the State Health Depart
ment, in bulletin given out today,
urges the county boards of health
to purchase a stock of an titoxin
aud to keep it on hand for the use
of those who need it Immediately.
In urging this course, the State
Health Department offers TO credit
any local board for any antitoxin
ordered and not used before the
limit of the so called guaranteedate.
There is no excuse for an out
break of diphtheria in the State. !"
said an official of the Health De-
partment today, in announcing the
new regulations. Autitoxin will
cure diphtheria If administered in
time; it can be had at small cost
by anyone who needs it; and its
use is followed by no i'll effects.
We confidently expect a great de-
cline IN the amount of diphtheria
In the State this winter, if our
people will use the means at their
disposal"
