MRS. HUBBEL'S RECITAL

Mrs. Lille Farnsworth.H ubbel's
recital of Zangwell's Melting
Pot" at the M. E. church last Fri
day evening was one of the finest
literary treats of the season. Mrs.
Hubbel was somewhat handicapped
by a severe cold. but this was soon
forgotten in the interest inspired by
her realistic Interpretation of this
wonderful play.
The Melting Pot" is a strong
and interesting literary masterpiece,
and the depletion of the different
characters in it calls for the highest
talent. In the lines of Katherine, "
the maid. and of "Papameister,"
the German musician, Mrs. Hubbel
showed great ability at initiating
the Irish brogue and Dutch dialect.
The many highly dramatic parts,
illustrating the effect of the memory
of the massacre upon David, the
meeting of David and Vera's father,
David's realization of his own fail
ure to assimilate in the crucible,
the final scene, bringing Vera and
David together, were all forcibly
and eloquently described by the
reader.
In the intermission between the
second and third scenes the Normal
orchestra, under the leadership of
Prof. Reed, gave fine rendition of
medley of national airs, and an
encore.
The recital was given under the
auspices of the w. r. c., and sever
al ladies of the Corps officiated very
acceptably as ushers. The ticket
sales amounted to about SOS.

Feb. 4, 1910,

Dear Journal
1t may interest our good neigh
bors of many years, to learn that
we are recovering from the effects
of the auto accident of the 18th of
January. Mrs. Parker has had fif-
teen DAYS of motion1essuess in an
excellent hospital, affording nature
occasion for rejoining the two
parts of the left pubic bone, near
the (front) union with the right
pubic. An X-ray photo showed ex-
actly the fracture. At present a
soft compress holds the hips rigid;
later an inelastic cast will help.
The minor bruises are rapidly yield
ing.
At first the persistence of nery-
Gus state wore Mrs. Parker's courage
in an aggravating way, that prom
ised defeat of all treatment, but
within few days ordinary cheerful
ness has been established, and
promises continuance.
My injuries were minor, and time
is likely to give me usual health.
This may answer inquiries, and
we thank the Journal for ready
communication of these personals
Respectfully,
w. D. PARKER.

Another Long Time Employe.

With the end of the past year A. S.
Crane closed a service of Al years with
E. & T. Fairbanks & Co., which has been
continuous with the exception of three
years, which he spent in New Hampshire,
in the early part of the service Mr..
Crane is a native of Dalton, n H, and
enlisted from Kirby in Co. 6. 18th YER
mont Regiment, serving as drummer DUR
ing part of the war. About three
months after his return in 1865 he entered
the employ of the scale company and has
been one of the most faithful workmen
during all these year, his work being in
the beam room, where he has had charge
of several men. He gives up his work on
account ofhis somewhat impaired health,
which he hopes will improve with the re-
Taxation oflabor and responsibility.

New u. V. M. Department.
Will Furnish Public School Teachers
Trained in Elementary In
duStrial Art, Agriculture,
Mechanics and House
hold Economy.

In continuance of measures taken in
several past years and in the line of it's
policy to maintain its position as the
head of the educational system of the
State, the University of Vermont, has
established department Of education.
This department exists for the purpose
of providing for the public schools
of the State and for positions elsewhere
in schools of secondary educa ton, teach
ers of the high character demanded by
modern educational standards. In its
equipment, both of apparatus and of
teaching force, the university is especially
well provided to meet the requirements
for training teachers of elementary indus
trial art, in lines of agriculture, mechan-
les and various branches ofhousehold ard
social economy. And by an extension of
the scope of the Morrill, endowment on
purpose to meet these needs, a part of
the income can be expended for what is
not strictly collegiate teaching in provid-
ing courses for the special preparation
of instructors for teaching the elements
of agriculture and the mechanic arts.'
Students who have completed the first
two years in any department of the uni
versitv may enter the department of ed
ucation and when the two years work
which constitutes the coursei is completed
they will receive the degree of bachelor of
science in education.
Any student enrolled in any of the fac
ulties will with the permission of the
dean of the faculty in which he is enrolled
and of the dean of the department of ed
ucation, be admitted to any of the cours-
es in education for whichh is qualified,
and will retain his standing in the depart
ment in which he is enrolled and be enti-
tied to the degree to which it leads, and if
he shall have satisfactorily passed the
courses required by the department of
education he may have appended to the
baccalaureate degree the words in educa-
ton" Special students will be admitted
to courses in education subject to the
same regulations as are, or may be, pro-
vided for special students.
A graduate of the university who is en-
gagged in teaching should be able to COM
plete the work for the degree by attend
ing three sessions of the summer school
and working in absentia during the inter
vening two years.
THE SUMNER SCHOOL.
A summer school of six weeks is con-
Quoted by the university under the direc-
ton of the department of education.
The aim will be, so far as possible, to
meet the needs of the following classes of
students:
/. Those who wish to carry on work for
the masters degree outside of the regular
session. Those who wish to do work of
this character should communicate early
with the director and with the professors
under whom they expect to work.
2. Teachers and others who wish to
do work of college grade for college cred

week for six weeks credit of one hour per

home and their personal interest. The
result is too often illustrated in the
hangers on around the country hotel or
some rendezvous where the development
IS. anything but desirable. In nearly all
of these places is some building adapted
.to public use that is decaying in disuse.
T.he cooperation of the people of these
villages would give the boys an oppor-
tt,iLty to meet there and train them
Selves along lines that will awaken their
personal enthusiasm and raise their
standard of living. With their enthu-
siasm aroused and their confidence gain
ed it would not be difficult to secure
their cooperation in lines of work and
training along very practical and helpful
lines.
This is one of the results we hope to
see at Brattleboro and that their success
will cause other towns to begin bene-
fetal development of it's boys.

Development of Boys.

An undertaking is under way in Brat
tleboro that should attract the atten-
ton of every progressive town in the
state. For three years past it has had a
boys club in part of the village known
as Esteyville which has been very largely
self governing and has been granted free
use of the basement of the public school
building as a club room. So successful
has it been that now all the boys of the
town are to have an opportunity to join
the club with the same room for head
quarters at present. Several young men
serve the club as an advisory board and
attend the meetings. 1t is hoped this
club will prove the starting point of a
public gymnasium.
In this undertaking Brattleboro is
furnishing the boy what he needs most,
the development of self control and per-
sonal independence. At the same time it
will furnish the boy a concrete example
of the force of cooperation in public af-
fairs. A few places are fortunate enough
to have a good gymnasium in connec-
ton with its Y NJ. c. A. building but in
a very large majority of towns there is
no building which they can feel their

strong courses in these subjects.
A bulletin giving full program of cours-

have grade in them. In our good
roads construction, however, we are
advocating the lowest grades posi-
bic. At the present time the many
steep hills are very serious drawback
to travel and are a very heavy item of
expense in the transportation of farm
produce and other products. This fact
becomes very apparent when we stop to
remember that the weight of a load
which team can haul from country to
market is limited, not to what it can
haul over the good part of the road, but
to what it is able to haul up a certain
hill over which the road passes. While a
steep grade will often shorten the dis
lance between two points, yet inasmuch
as the load that a horse can pull de-
creases very rapidly with the increase in
grade, it is by far more economical to
increase the distance and decrease the
grade. In the following table are given
the loads horse can pull over different
grades. considering as standard that a
horse can pull 1000 pounds on level
road:

On a rise of.

AS is we'll known, in loading a wagon
it is loaded with the weight that the
team can pull over the rough, steep
places, and this means very often that,
although the greater part of the road is
well graded and load of 1000 or more
per horse can be pulled, the team is not
able to pull more than 500 pounds per
horse on account of the steep grades. 1t
has been demonstrated that for a short
distance a horse can double his exertions
and thus pull twice as much; therefore,
IT we will keep our grades to not more
than four and one-third per cent. that is
little over four feet in a hundred, we
would be able to haul a maximum load
unless such grades were too long. 1t
will also be found that the four and one
third per cent grade is the steepest that
a road can have without making it
necessary to construct water-breaks or
"thank-you-rna' ans" across the road.
For these reasons we are advocating
that the maximum grade be four and
one-th1rd per cent. In certain sections of
the mountain regions it may be neces-
Sary, at first, to increase this grade; but
we are urging upon all the counties that
the route be surveyed with a maximum
grade of four and one third per cent, and
that the steep grade be used only tenn
porarily, as we are confident that the
low grade will be found the cheaper in
the end.
SAND AND CLAY MIXED.
This road is supposedly, simply mix
ture of two parts clay and one part
sand. yet considerable skill is required in
the mixing of these if the best results are
to be obtained.
Gravel roads are being constructed in
a great many places and wherever con-
structed, if properly drained and graded,
make satisfactory roads, although the
cost of hauling over them is considerably
more than over the frst-class macadam.
