Another new cook book. filled with

pare and serve a six course dinner.
Some of these amateurs have delect-

An Important Find.

public by Road Commissioner Trum-

ton, who has received information
from Washington and Boston to the
effect that rock found on a portion
Of Forest Hills is what scientists call
Altered Diabure," that is trap rock
such as is used to make the maca-
dam road. A sample of the rock
was sent to the office of the public
roads department, Washington, and
from there has been received an an
alysis of the same. Incident to the
analysis was the following statement:
"A rock of medium hardness, high
resistance to wear with low tough
ness and excellent cementing value
Should make an excellent road build
ing material" A sample of the rock
was also submitted to the Massachu-
sets highway commission, the mem
bers of which pronounced it I'M
doubtedly trap rock of a good quail
ity and that it would make a hard,
durable road. But little trap rock is
found in New England outside of
Connecticut and thus it would seen
that the find of Mr.. Hunt is of great
value to his section and all Ver-

Reference ia this column last week
to needy children in the city brings
out the fact that the teachers of the
graded schools have accumulated a
supply of clothing from which many of
the needy and deserving ones are fitted
out from time to time Those who have
children's old clothing to spare may
do as much good with it by sending
it to the primary school building as to
rummage sale.
The new arrangement of the courses
of study in the public schools is
something educators have been
striving to accomplish in other
cities, but no satisfactory So
luton had been reached until the
Montpelier plan was proposed. Anoth-
er innovation in the schools that is
bringing good results is giving the
small children tables and chairs in
stead of desks and immovable seats.
The little ones can change their posi-
ton and thus study with greater ease,
and visiting teachers and school au-
thorities are as much pleased with it
as are the pupils. When paper tow
els were first placed in use in the
Montpelier schools there was only one
house in the country manufacturing
them. Now there are three. The
number of letters received here ask
ing for information about such tow
els indicates that Montpelier may have
been instrumental in creating a de-
mand that has resulted in two now in
dustries.
