A Book About New England.

The Boston Chamber of Commerce
has just comleted an Industrial Sur
vey of New England, and the first
fruits of that work is book of 446
pages entitled New England: What
1t Is and What 1t Is To Be- This
book has been prepared under the
direction of a Committee on Indus
trial Survey, consisting of Messrs.
Walter M. Lowney, George S. Smith
and George B. Gallup, and edited by
George French. The text has been
written by some % men who are
authorities, and by the editor. There
are many illustrations from photo
graphs, some of them especially
taken for this book. The story that.
is told is amazingly interesting, to
New Englanders and others. The
motive of the editor was to show
exactly where New England stands in
the industrial life of America. This
motive has led to the production of
a book that has not a parallel in the
literature of the times. 1t reads like
a romance, yet there is no assertion
made that is not fortified by facts,
there is no position taken that is not
more than justified by actual condi-
tons. The keynote of the book is
that New England is now-in con-
sequence of the new knowledge of
Tie SOll duu Cu0 new m0LlOuS u dS-
riculture; because of the new con-
ception of waterpower for factories
and general purposes; because of the
new methods in manufacturing, the
new spirit in business, and other ele-
ments of business that are essential
ly revolutionary most promis-
ing field for enterprise in the United
States. This remarkable proposition
is abundantly proved in the 20 chap
tiers of this book.
From cover to cover it invites the
readers to consider the facts about
New England. 1t is an effective an
tidote for that peculiar pessimism
about New England that too many of
US have accepted, and accepted with
out questioning it's bona fides. 1t is
inspiring, because it tells us the facts,
and suggests the logical deductions.
1t is very readable, and there are
many pictures to illustrate the text.

there making their way there in
teams as quickly as possible, but
they we're of no avail. The loss on
the sawmill and box shop is placed
at $4,000 with insurance of $15,-
600; the loss on the general store
and postoffice, is about $4,000 with
insurance of $4,000, while the hotel
and barn loss is $4,000, with $4,000
insurance. The contents of the post
Office were saved from the flames, as
was most of the furniture in the
hotel. The cause of the fire, which
had it's origin in the sawmill, is at
tributed to what is called back
draft" 1t is thought that the fire
box was filled too full of sawdust
and that in the resulting black
draft" the flames were forced out in
to the tool room, starting the fire
which soon increased into it's disas-
trous proportions with the help of
the high wind The night Waterman

room but a short time before the
blaze was discovered and at that time
all was we'll.

a difficult matter to find men we'll

a difficult matter to find men we'll
trustees want men who have had
agricultural training and who are
able to demonstrate their ability, and
it so happens that nearly every other
state in the union is looking for just
such men and are able to pay much
larger salaries. The fact that agri-
culture is a good field is shown by
the manner in which graduates of
colleges are taken up for the govern
ment service as we'll as for managers
of large properties. The length
of the course to be given
in the new school has not yet been de-
finitely determined, but it is certain
that it will not be less than two
years and also that the students will
have to be equipped with an educa-
ton which would fit them for any
high school for a boy with a poorer
fit than that would be unable to de-
rive benefit from the course. Al
ready II acres of excellent tillage
land have been secured for the school
and deal is on for the acquisition
of 15 additional acres. The state, in
making the appropriation, imposed a
condition which makes it necessary
to show an abstract of the original
land deed and this has led into all
kinds of difficulties, owing to mis-
takes made by town clerks, and
lawyers years ago in transferring
property. The 15-acre tract is
now being held up for that reason.

time of the opening of the school.

of 80 students when it opens. The

nearly new normal school building
will be turned over to the board on
July /, and few repairs will be neces-
sary, as it is at present excellently
equipped for lecture and class room
purposes and has a good chemical
laboratory. The only new building
which will be erected is a barn. The
barn will be of the latest design
with every facility which would
lean toward cleanliness and sani-
tation. 1t will be able to take care
of 80 COWS, although at first that
number will not be used. The funds
for the school consist of an ap-
preparation of $4,000, made by the
state for establishing the plant, and
an annual income of $4,000; also
made by the state. The school will
also have an income from 10000
which has been turned over to it by
the normal school. which will cease
to exist after the close of the present
term. It will require about $10,-
900 to put the present plant in

Forbid Public Drinking Cups.
The quarterly bulletin of tfa Yer
mont state board OF health, bearing
date Of March |, contains the copy Of
a regulation adopted by the state
board Feb. 9, prohibiting the use of
the public drinking cup in all pub
lie places, parks, fountains, school
houses, factories, mills, work shops.

next The specimens examined at the
laboratory Of hygiene during the last
quarter of the year, 1910 included
925 cultures of diphtheria bacilli,
498 for tubercle bacilli, 311 of
blood for vidal reaction, 248 of
water, 318 of milk and cream, 50 of
foods, 100 of liquors, of drugs, IS
medicolega1 cases and 33f miscellan-
eous analyses, a total of 1888 spec
linens. OF the 85 samples of milk
and cream which were below STAN
dard, by far the greater number were
grees. The food specimens generally
passed muster, and the worst that
could be said of the drugs was that
number had misleading labels.
Woman Recluse Left 5000 Hidden.
A search of the house occupied by
Mrs. w. H. Sabin of W5ndsor who
died last week, brought to light the
fact that more than 5000 had been
secreted about the building. For
years the old lady lived the life of a
recluse in the dwelling erected in
1871.
Mysterious Death of Child.
Physicians are somewhat mystified
over the case of Theodore Short S
death, which occurred at the home
of his father, Thomas Short, in
Montpelier March Is. They think
it was either ptomaine poisoning or
cholera infantum. The boy was five
years old, and his father is the
keeper of a lunch cart in Montpelier.
On Sunday the child, together with
other members of the family, par
took of canned corn at dinner. Mon
day morning he was taken vio-
lently i'll, with symptoms of poison
ing. A physician was called, and
the boy was somewhat relieved.
At night, however, he again became
worse, and he died before a physi-
clan could be summoned. Although

More Money For Roads.
Vermont towns will spend more
money on highways this year than
ever before, according to information
given out March A at a conference
between State Highway Commits
sioner G.. w. Gates of Franklin and
IL county supervisors of the state.
Under the new law the state allows
dollar for dollar for additional APP
preparations voted by towns up to
$3.50. The amount of appropria-
lions made by towns have not all
been received at the highway COM
missioner's Office, but the total
900 more than last year. This means
that in round numbers about $780,
900 will be spent for highways under
the supervision of the state. About
$50, 1000 of this amount comes from
the automobile tax. Most of the
money will be put into trunk roads
and good amount will be spent be-
tween Burlington and Montpelier as
well as on the main road to st. All

Teachers to Meet at Montpelier.
Through the efforts of the Mont
pelier Board of Trade, the executive
committee of the Vermont State

hold the annual convention next
October at Montpelier. The auditor
ium of the new city hall will then
be ready for occupancy and strong
local committee will assist the con-
vention officials in placing the 1000
or more teachers who will probably
attend.

physician is in doubt as to the prob
able cause of the death.
Aged People of Thetford.
In the town of Thetford of the
seventeen deaths reported as oc-
curing the last year, the average
age was rs years, the oldest per-
son being 100 years and the young
est 81 years of age. We doubt if
there is another town in the
state of the population of
Thetford that can show a
death record like that. A pretty
good advertisement for old Thet-
ford as a health resort and conducive
to longevity.
Barton Cutters at Work
Although the granite strike in
Ryegate and Hardwick is not settled
a temporary settlement has been
made in Barton and the men are back
at work pending settlement in Hard
wick. The settlement is in favor of
the strikers, bushing machines being
excluded from the sheds. They may
be used outside.

At a meeting of the directors of
the Montpelier & Wells River rail-
road Saturday in the company's gen
eral Office in Montpelier the board of
directors was reorganized as follows:
c.. S. Mellen of New Haven, T. E.
Byrnes of Boston, w. B. Stickney of
Bethel, H. E. Folsom of Lyndonyille
and j. w. Brock of Montpelier. The
directors elected the following Of
ficers: T. E. Brynes of Boston, presi-
dent; H. E. Folsom of Lyndon
vile, vice president; W. A. Stowell
of Montpelier, clerk and treasurer; H.
E. Fisher of Boston, assistant treas
urer; E. A. Ryder of Boston, assist
ant clerk; w. J. Hobbs of Boston,
controller. The same directors and
the same officers were also elected at
a meeting of the Barre railroad and
the Barre branch. All these three
railroads were known as the SortweIl
roads and the reorganization of the
directorate was natural after the pur-
chase of the Sortwe1 stock by the
Boston & Maine railroad.
State Rules for Nurses.
A meeting of the board of regis
tration of nurses, appointed by Gov.
