m id bury Summer Session
OpenS

Things began with a rush at Middle
bury, when the college opened its doors
for the third Summer Session on We'd
nesday. Every available room in the
mems dormitories had been assigned,
every room in Battell cottage, and
many prospective students were forced
to find rooms in the village. At the
college dining hall, which has been en-
larged to accommodate 100 people
nearly every place was filled. Owing
to the zeal with which knowledge is
being pursued on the college hill ad-
ditional instructors were engaged. New
courses were formed in various mathe-
NAUTICAL branches, and in Caesar, Cicero,
Shakespeare and Psychology. Two in
structors are required to give all the
work demanded in Latin, two in French,
two in Mathmatics, and two in
German.
One of the most delightful features
of the first week was the remarkable
playing by Miss Shepard in short
piano recital which was given on Friday
evening, Just previous to a reception at
Starr library. Miss Shepard is a daugh-
ter as well as a pupil of Mr. Frank H.
Shepard, director of the summer school
of music at Middlebury. The mastery
of technique which this young woman
possesses is remarkable but more Won
derful still was the rare sympathetic in
depreciation given by her to Schumann.
Beethoven and List, while her playing
of Chopin's Noe turne in G. major was
something long to be remembered.
Mr.. Shepard in addition to private work
in pianotorte and voice, has formed free
classes in voice culture and harmony
and has announced first rehearsal Of
community music, in the rendering of
which the singers of Middlebury will
participate.
The Middlebury campus presents an
appearance of business. In addition to
the group of students studying in the
shade of the trees there are workmen
breaking ground for the new gym
nasium, carpenters putting the finishing
touches on Pearsons hall, and men and
teams at work putting the new tennis
courts in the pink of condition.

The Mighty Haag Shows arrived here
early Sunday morning from Burlington.
Soon after their arrival began the work
of unloading the heavy wagons from
the cars and drawing them to the
Wisel lot on Seymour street. Here
the first thing done was the erection of
the mess tent and the preparation for
breakfast During the morning the
work of putting up the other large tents
occupied considerable time and then
commenced the usual Sunday cleanup
of horses, harnesses, wagons, etc. The
show carried fine lot of horses and a
number of Shetland ponies. The
managerie contained a number of rare
animals. The show gave street
parade on Monday morning and immc-
diately after gave a free exhibition on
the show grounds. The afternoon per-
Torrance was Wen attended in spite Of
the extreme heat of the day. The per-
Torrance was of a high order and the
wonderful feats of the trapeze and bar
performers was witnessed with much
interest. The bareback riding was
also a feature of the show and the work
OF the clown, was amusing to the little
folks. The evening performance was
of the same order though somewhat
shortened on account of the heat. The
show went to Manchester, Vt,

FRANCIS GEE DIES IN HIS
18th YEAR.
One of Woonsocket's Oldest Resi-
dents Re aches the End After
Long and Honorable Life.

The following article is taken from
the Woonsocket Or. ~ Evening Call of
July 3, and will be of interest to many
old-time residents of Middlebury:
Francis Gee, one of the oldest resi-
dents of this city, passed away at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Selma Can
tara on South Main street, Sunday,
at II 80 a. m.
Had he lived until Oct. Is, Mr.. Gee
would have reached his Goth birthday.
He enjoyed the best of health, and pos
sessed wonderful memory. He came
of a sturdy race, his grandfather having
lived to the great age of 102 years.
Mr.. Gee was born in Quebec, and at
the age of % came with his parents to
Middlebury, Vt, to live. Two years
later he was married to Marguerite
Bonner, who died 20 years ago, and set
tied on a farm for number of years.
fifty-three years ago he came to Woon-
socket with his family and had resided
here since. He held the respect and
esteem of all who knew him.
Besides his family, all of whom re-
side in this city, he is survived by a
sister and two brothers, Mrs. Louise
st. George of Bristol, VT, Joseph Gee

The Albert Players at MiddI ebury
in Panton1 me.

The educational value implied by an
BERT Players, who appear under the
auspices of the Summer Session of
Middlebury college will be better APP
preciated after their fine entertainment
has occurred. The use of pantomime
and emotive dances, such as the folk
dances, educates the eye in quckness
of conception, concentrates the atten-
ton, and vitalizes observation.
Given out-of-doors by The Albert
Players, wordless-drama accompanied
by classical music is an artistic per
Torrance. One is inspired by the
Gnomes and Fairies in captivating
fairy-land. Witches and other people,
in vivacious movements, admirably and
properly costumed, decorations too, be-
fitting the pleasing out-of-doors plaza,
promise to attract great crowd of
both young people and older people.
Prologues or poetic descriptions of the
short plays are spoken just beforehand.
and pantomimic dances.
Miss Caroline Crawford, of The New
Theatre, New York, and recently APP
pointed dean of the women's college,
Middlebury, directs the dances and
concurs with Madame Albert and Miss
Rose in the musical productions. Be
sides being fine musicians and CO.
operating in the dances of 1.-THE Blue
Bird" at The New Theatre, New
York, Miss Rose and Miss Crawford
have arranged many performances.
Miss Crawford has had charge of pa
geants at various places throughout the
country, as well as in New York city,
and is an author and an accredited
authority upon dancing. The music of
Prof Englbert Humperkinck fairy
opera, "Haensel and Grete' rights of
which, for pantomimic performance by
The Albert Players have been obtained
by Madame Albert, is perfect in or
chestration and ready for use.
The educational value of pantomimes
and pantomimic programs, so charm
ingly composed by Madame Albert, is
found in the music, and dances, alluring
those who attend and certainly bene-
fitting those who perform. The in
creasing interest of educators IN pan
tomime and pantomimic dances is shown
in many ways. Teachers colleges are
now offering courses in this elemental |
form of training. DR.. G.. Stanley Hall. !

world language. and neither is at all ap-
propriate for introduction in the pub
lie schools. The cult which would pre-
serve or advance these languages Is
credtable and to be commended; but
the time taken for the cultivation OF
those languages could not profitably be
afforded in the public schools.
There arc many communities IN the
United States where Welsh. Bohemian,
Polish, Gaelic. Slavonian. Finnish
Swedish, Norwegian Danish, Russian,
and other languages might lay claim
to recognition in the public schools
But such recognition is imprscticable,
and the advantages TO be had from II
are so meagTc MS 10 throw the study OF
these languages ont as practical
proposition. Besides, the imperative
need in tho public schools is the study
of English, especially for foreign
speaking pupils. If any foreign fam
iies wish to have their children learn
their mother tongue it is An easy
enough proposition for the heads of
the families to talk that language. and
that language alone. in the home, and
in that way the children will acquire
such working knowledge of it AS they
may need. But the public school IN.
struction must he devoted to extending
the greatest good TO the greatest num-
Der, and isolated communities that
speak minor foreign languages cannot
expect to have the recognition of them
in the public school. We think that
Mrs. Young, the Chicago Superintcn-
dent, is making a mistake in under
taking 70 extend the public school
curriculum to Polish or to any other
out of he.way language. But the pre-
yailing reasons. which brings into the
public schools the study OF French,
German, and Spanish are cosmopolitan,
because of the prevalence of those Ian.
guages throughout the world, and the
practical certainty Of the pupils coming
in contact with those languages, espe-
clally if they undertake any widespread
business or public careers. But. with
these. the bringing into the public
schools of the study of modern Ian
guages. especially in the grade schools,

cARNEaIE's PHILANTHROPY.

IL must be an immense sourcc OF
satisfaction TO a man 20 be able, with
ont any stress upon himself or injustice
to his family. TO give lavishly in un-
stinted millions for any philanthropic
purpose which commcnds itself TO him.
Among all mankind Andrew Carnegie
stands forth pre-. eminent in such CIV
ing. His new endowment of $2o,O0o.'
600 to the Carnegie Corporation puts
mis- public gifts up to the tremendous
amount of s2l5. 100000, This new
corporation is organized under a
charter granted BY the New York
Legislature last June "to promote the
advancement and diffusion of knowledge
and understanding among the people OF
the United States
It is the purpose of Mr.. Carnegie to
have this corporation attend 10 the
library gifts and educational philan-
thropies which he has heretofore at
tended TO himself The income from
the benefaction will be $l,500,0OO
wear. counted on the basis of the U. s.

This money will be available, doubtless,
in the discretion of the trustees, for
the reinforcement of certain other bcne'
factions of Mr.. Carnegie, as the income
from his teachers fund of $40, 100000,
and his educational gifts in various
directions.
1t is splendid benefaction, and
doubtless II will be handled in the same
spirit of magnificent devotion to the
public service which prompted the
gircr in founding the corporation This
should be largely the better for
this and other gifts of Mr.. Carnegie,
aud the world is certainly in his debt

fhropics in many directions.

LANGUAGES IN SCHOOLS.

The study Of modern languages in
the public schools Of the United States
has always been subject Of more or
less controversy, especially when this
study is prompted or dictated by the
persons in any school community of
large numbers Of foreign residents.
There has been heretofore Incorporated
in the curriculums Of the public schools
the study of German Of French. more
seldom Of Spanish. and occasionally Of
some other language. The most recent
concession, if it may 50 be called in
this direction IS that begun by Mrs.
Ella Flagg Young. Superintendent Of
Cbicsgo's public schools. who has in.
troduced the study OF Polish in Ger
tain of those schools. and announced
her purpose TO follow this up with the
introduction OF other languages in the
courses of the public school studies.
The Polish, it is stated. is mainly for
children OF Polish families. but is open
TO others. although Mrs, Young does not
expect 1t TO be widespread like French
and German. or even to the extent of
the study Of Swedish In the Chicago
schools
The reasons which prompt the intro.
ducilon of the study of German, French.
or Spanish in tho public schools is. that
these languages arc widespread through.
out the world. they are languages of
commerce. and in many respects in.
dispensable in various forms of bust
moss and communication. But nothing
of this kind can be urged in favor o.
the study of Polish. Bohemian. Finnish
Hungarian. Welsh. or Gaelic. These
languages each have multitndes of firm
supporters, but neither Is :, widespread
