wILLIAMsrowN HIGH SCHOOL.
Good Work Has Been Done Under Direc
ton Of Miss Leighton.

Editor Barre Times: We think it is
due to the teacher, and incidentally TO
the students, of the Williamstown high
school, that some mention be made of
the good work which has been done by
the school in the past two years under
its present teacher A person who has
never visited the school and has sent
no children there is not capable OF iudg-
ing it. Everyone capable OF forming
during this time, can see that it is doing
very good work. Owing to the success,
financially, as well as otherwise, of tire
literary entertainment presented by the
school December 80, its very small libra
nv has been replenished with few very
much needed reference books
which, in fact. are essential TO the
course, but with which the town has
never felt rich enough TO furnish the
school The students hope to have a
better chance OF competing with sur
rounding schools in the future, How
ever, thanks to the teacher who was
forced to serve as reference book, as well
as instructor, the class OF 10 are doing
straight third.year work. All are doing
very well in their classes, some especial

edge OF his ability and that confidence
in himself necessary to success wherever
he may be. We consider that the enter
tainment was of as much value in this
respect as it was ia making possible the
purchase OF those reference books. Ii
neeessitated great deal Of extra work
on the part of both teacher and pupils
who have studied diligently during school
hours and the majority of the evenings
during the school term. However, We
feel amply repaid by the results. II

school, and let US hone that we may
have more OF its kind in the future
