The Lack of Village School
Accommodations.

In the annual school report just
issued Superintendent Taft empha-
sizes the lack of accommodations in
the village building. The matter
has been aired in town meeting once
or twice, but relief from the incon-
veniences of present conditions has
thus far been successfully opposed
by our thrifty voters.
The school building has a fine
assembly hall which is now by lack
of space made unavailable for assem-
blies or other similar purposes for
which it was intended. For lack Of
room, also, the fifth and sixth grades
were put ON half time at the begin
ming of the spring term. The super
intendent says: =
"This arrangement hasn't proven
altogether satisfactory. Several pu-
pills failed of promotion, or were
promoted conditionally, because it
wasn't possible for them to do as
much nor as good work in three and
a half hours as they did in five
hours.
1t is to be regretted that this plan
must be continued another year, but
it cannot be avoided as there is no
available space in the building that
will accommodate class of thirty
six or thirty-eight pupils.
The assembly hall has been used
for typewriting since the fifth
grade was moved down to Room 3
This means that the assembly hall
cannot be used for assembly pur-
poses nor for rehearsals without in
terrnpting that work.
call these inconvenience to your
attention because it seems imperative
that such unfortunate conditions be
remedied."
The building was large enough in
its day for all applicant for educa
tional privileges within it's walls, bu
it has been demonstrated for som,
time that it is not big enough now
Will the voters think it over and b
prepared to accept some plan for al
addition to the building, or new
building, W hich the health, conven
fence and progress of Woodstock
school children make imperative ?

There are many matters connected
with human affairs that are beyond
human knowledge.
We know they exist, but why, omnip-
otence only understands.
But when it comes to cold-blooded,
everyday business affairs like banking,
we find that given conditions certainly
produce their logical results.
Here is a concrete illustrations:
On the first day Of July, 1907, the Hyde
Park Savings Bank had deposits aggre-
eating 1914, 1884. -Four years later, to
wit, on the first day of July, 1911, those
deposits had increased to 81, 01s, 306. IT;
139 per cent. or 81, ia, 1888 gain in
four years.
The first utterance given to state
ment of this kind is 'It cannot be
true"
The second is, "The growth is phe-
nomenal."
And then we say. 'It is simply won
derful-how can it be?"
Figures do not lie and the cold facts
in the matter are that in the little vii
lage of Hyde Park with its population
of only 423, there is a Savings Bank
which the people of Vermont hold in
such high esteem that for four years the
deposits therein have exceeded the with
drawals by between $500 and $1,000 for
every working day in the four years.
To be exact aboue it, $685. per working
day. -,
What is the explanation?
Simply that the people of Vermont
have watched the growth of the La
noble County Savings Bank and Trust
Company with unusual interest because
of its management and its methods of
Investments.
They have not failed to observe that
| in it's entire existence of more than
twenty-five years. the funds of the bank
have been invested with such excellent
| judgment and with such painstaking
care that the bank has a record, proba-
bly, unparalleled, of never having lost a
dollar by poor note.
The man or boy having money to de-
posit has simply said to himself, the
very safest, the very strongest, and the
most conservative Savings Bank man
agement is none too good for me, and if
the four per cent. interest paid by the
Hyde Park bank is the highest rate of
interest paid by any Vermont bank, and
it is perfectly safe to send money by
maitland the records show that not a
dollar of deposits sent by mail to this
bank was ever lost-why shouldn't I
place my funds for investment and safe
keeping in the Hyde Park bank 2"
The question is a natural one and the
answer follows as naturally as the night
follows the day.
Really, there is nothing mysterious
about this abnormal and phenomenal
growth.

Pathways to Green Mountain
Peaks.

The activities of the young Green
Mountain club, which plans forest
pathway through Vermont from
Massachusetts, to the northern line,
ought to interest the people of Wood
stock and Rutland and all dwellers
in the Killington section of the
Green Mountain range. Killington
is one of the grandest peaks in all
New England, but it is almost as
little known to those who live within
sight of it as it is to outsiders. Very
few Woodstock people have more
than long distance acquaintance
with that soaring mountain top /;
many don't know it by sight, and
others are never quite sure whether
they have their eyes trained on Kill
lington or ON one of its near neigh
bors. Pico or Shrewsbury.
The case against the people over
the range is quite as strong and
condemnatory, as Rutland, almost in
the shadow of the peak, has neglected
the wagon road which made the
summit very accessible from that city
until it is no longer passable. =
The work of developing Killing
ton naturally falls to Woodstock
and Rutland and under the stimulus
of live organization like the Green
Mountain club. a beginning shouldn't
be long delayed. There is now a
trail from West Bridgewater, on this
side of the mountain, but its un-
charted twists and turns mislead
many amateur mountaineers-else
the stories of the lost and strayed are
all myths.
A well marked trail to Killington
peak, with shelter houses, and q
substantial house ON top for protec-
ton in an emergency, in place of the
abandoned and leaky affair there
now. would be a different proposition
for those who prefer their mountain
climbing without too many hard
ships. This will come with the
Green Mountain clubs projected
pathway through the state. 1t will
make Killington vastly more accessi-

The Hartland Nature Club.

A good sized party of Nature club
members and their friends met Sat
urday, July Is, near the summit of
Barron hill, to explore Spruce
Swamp.
They made their entrance from the
eastern side, instead of from the
western, as at first proposed, and
found glorious outlook over the
Ottaquechee valley to the New
Hampshire mountains and beautiful
paths winding among white rocks,
ferns and MOSES. Everywhere were
trees, hemlocks, red spruce and
white spruce being most abundant.
The whole region seemed to be alter
nations of grove and swamps, and it
is quite possible that Spruce Swamp
proper was not visited. However,
several plants new to the fora of
Hartland were iscovered-mounta
holly, the wild raisin, bristly bram-
BILE, rare potentilla, pigwort, and
a Bicknell's geranium.
A junco's nest containing four
eggs was photographed near the
picnic grounds, the hermit thrush,
the white-throated sparrow, and the
black and white warbler singing
near.
After luncheon the literary pro-
gram was carried out in quiet spot
by a great, rock which was shaded
by trees and which showed pretty
vista into the deep woods.
Mrs. A. B. Morgan's paper on
Hartland Birds Of the Transition
Zone" showed careful study as well
as close observation, and was most
interesting throughout. Fl. G. Rugg
gave a delightful talk on life in the
Bermudas. illustrating it with photo
graphs, postcards and specimens of
towering plants and ferns. Miss May
Rogers showed fine collection of
Hartland everlastings and several
maritime plants from Leet's Island,
Conn, sent her by Mrs. Max e.
Rogers. She showed also some sew
enteen-year locusts.
Miss Darling presented the club
two new Hsrtland plants not yet
listed in the Vermont flora. Oeno-
thera pratensis (small) Robinson
and Hedeoma hispida Pursh. Mr..
Rugg exhibited handsome speci-
men of Boots fern found in Hartland
this summer, and Mr.. Underwood
reported list of new plants which
he and Mr.. Rugg had found to-
gether.
A large ichneumon fly, an unusual
caterpillar three inches long, and an
ants nest larger than bushel basket
aroused much interest.
As Mr.. Gates drove his big four
INLAND down the steep, shaded path
of the main road guests and MEM
bers alike appreciated little more
fully the pleasure-giving possibili-
ties of this region.
The next field meeting will be held
in the Dwight Cabot neighborhood,
August IL.

tally the neglect of a profitable
attraction like KillinRton should
appeal to this whole valley. The
situation seems to demand early CO.
operation with the Green Mountain
club in developing this section of
the range for the pleasure of our
selves and for the resulting benefits

Whistle For n.

II person wants something which
we are not particularly anxious to give
him, we tell him that he may whistle
for It
We may not care whether he whistles
or not. II would make no difference
to Us whether he did or not. but we
tell him to whistle all the same. This
ts the origin Of the expression:
In early English days ale or beer was
served In what were known as wits
Ting tankards, These had four han
dles. all Of which contained whistles
When the tankard became empty the
holder blew the whistle for more drink
In other words, he had to whistle for
It.
