Interesting Statistics About the School
Given to Trustees In Principal Cutters
Annual Report.

The annual meeting of the trustees OF
Mount Hermon school was held Monday
in Holbrook hall A feature OF the meet
ing was Principal Henry F. Cutters an
nual report in which he sketched the
progress and development of Mount Her
mon during the decade since the death
of the founder, Dwight L. Moody. in
1899 Mr.. Cutler emphasized that Mr..
Moody's plans and purposes for the
school had been followed as far as they
were understood, and that Mr.. Moody's
watchword ITO help" had been the
watchword of the school during these
years. Some very interesting statistics
were given. OF the 6172 students in the
last % years of the school up to Janu-
airy l. 1910 1866 have entered during
these last 10 years. During this period
AZ out of 81 states and territories and
Porto Rico, also So foreign countries,
have been represented. They have gone
away in all directions, so that now
Mount Hermon is represented by her
former students in every state and ter
ritory of the Union and % foreign coun-
tries. Within the past 10 years 10 new
buildings have been erected. including
West hall dining hall with capacity for
1000; Holbrook hall, the administration
building; a gymnasium and central heat
ing plant Besides these, three buildings
have been enlarged or remodeled and
four residences for teachers have been
built
During this period a department of
agriculture has been added, and among
other things mentioned he calls attention
to the care Mount Hermon forests are
receiving at the present time, and that
$50 acres of pine seedlings have been
planted within the past few years. Ten
years ago the endowment OF the school
was 1887 900; at the present time it is
$543, 900. making an increase in 10 years of
permanent plant was $451 ,0OO,at the pres
ent time this amount is $7S6,0O0. making
an increase in the 10 years of 1885, 600
This makes a permanent increase in the
10 years of SAL 900, an average increase
each year of $54, 100. The running eX-
penses during the last fiscal year aver
aged 1866 per day. OF the increase from
all sources 50 per cent has been used for
running expenses 49, per cent for perma-
nent improvements in buildings and II
per cent for permanent endowment The
money put into buildings and endowment
was given for those special purposes.
Mount Hermon still attracts the same
| type of men as those for whom Mr..
Moody founded the school. Nearly 50
| per cent of the students now in school
| had some trade or occupation before en-
tering, and at the present time AZ per
cent are responsible for all or
the greater part of their expenses.
With regard to the present stu
dents he makes the interesting state
ment that As per cent of them first
learned of Mount Hermon through some
former student. A significant feature OF
the progress of the last decade has been
| the manifestation of loyalty on the part
| of the former students. - fbhsn-

Sold 20 Acres for s25. 900.

]. d. Pratt of Clarendon sold Monday
to the Clarendon Valley Marble company,
owned largely by New York men, 20
acres of land from his farm in Clarendon
for $4,000 The big price is said to be
due to the fact that the concern recently
on the property. Some months ago the
concern leased 20 acres adjoining the
piece just bought and they have been
installing machinery and working a few
men for some time. 1t is expected that
the company will establish a permanent

ANOTHER WONDERFUL FLIGHT.
Charles X. Hamilton Made Trip by
Aeroplane from New York to PhIIadeI-
phla and Return


Aeroplane from New York to PhIIadeI-
phIa and Return
Charles X. Hamilton arose from Gov
ernors island at New York in an aero
plane Monday morning and sped without
a break IS miles to Philadelphia in
remarkable cross-country flight under
the auspices of the New York Times and
the PHILADELPHIA Public Ledger. He
made the trip in one hour and 81 minutes,
leaving Governors island at 7.35 and land
ing at Philadelphia at 926 Alghting at
Aviation field he delivered letters from
Gov Hughes and Mayor Gaynor to Gov.
Stuart and Mayor Reyburn, accepted
messages of congratulations from them
to bear in return, and started for New
York again, with only brief intermission
for food, fuel and oil.
He had flown approximately 20 miles
of his return journey when a smuggling
motor drove him to descend in swamp
near South AmbOy, N. j., at 1855 p. m.
The propeller was broken there in land
ing but after repairs had been made
Hamilton resumed his flight at go and
landed at Governors island at 6.39. Thus
the return trip was made in one hour and
SO minutes at an estimated average speed
of 5496 miles an hour, which breaks the
record made by Curtiss's flight from
Albany to New York.
That Hamilton did not make the re-,
turn trip as easily as the outgoing trip
was due only to an omission due to haste
In his hurry to get away he neglected 10
clear his spark plugs; they fouled, the
engine baked and he had to come down
on the banks of the Raritan river, two
miles above South Amboy.
Curtiss still holds the official record for
speed, but Hamilton Monday took all
American records for cross-country dis
lance.
