BENNINGTON, VT, JAN. II. 1s1:

Speaking of public service in a re
sponsible place there are few records
in Vermont that will compare with
that of Dr. C. II. Dunton for thirty
seven years head of the Troy Confer
ence academy at Poultney. A man
of ability and high moral as well as
educational attainments it is impos-
sible to measure the effect of his
lifework on the boys and girls who
have come under his influence.
Through them and their descendants
this work of DR.. Dunton will go on
and forward for unnumbered years
and untold generations.

DIR. Clarence II. Beecher of Bur
lington, who has been in Bennington
twice on professional business during
the past week, is an example of what
a young man can make of himself
through hard work and honest effort.
DIR. Beecher fills the chair of medi-
cine at the University of Vermont
medical college and though still a
young man has a rank and reputa-
ton excelled by few. Yet, as a boy,
he had no more chance than practi-
cally every boy has and less than
most. When he went to Burlington
years ago, as boy, he got a job
driving team for an established ply
stefan. Through the association he
became imbued with the determine
ton to become a physician himself,
and chiefly through his own efforts
he has risen to high honor and
standing. Boys and young men who
think they have no chance in life
should learn a lesson from the life Of
DR.. Beecher. Success in life depends
chiefly on industry and perseverance
coupled with some degree of common
sense, ambition and self restraint.
Success in life does not come" once
in ten million times. He who has 1t
must go to it, And he will never get
it by knocking or being a crouch.
