Little Charlotte Taylor next gave a
recitation entitled "Our Flag" Arthur
Trudeau followed with a song, 1.-The
Soldier Boy" and Mary Larock recited
the stanzas called Proudly Does the
Old Flag Wave" These three young
sters got the heartiest applause of the

A quartet composed of the young
Misses Ruth Brunette, Margaret Lynch,
Olive Barter and Maud Wisell rendered
song entitled "Brave Heart, Sleep
On, after which Clyde W. Hulburt
rendered Lincoln's Gettysburg address.
A flag motion song came next and was
splendidy rendered by children of the
first, second, third and fourth grades of
the local schools. These youthful
beauties were also handsomely gowned
in white, with the sashes of the red,
white and blue. Mrs. Charlotte
Shackett had charge of the music for
these exercises and presided at the
piano in an entirely engaging and salts
factory manner.
After DR.. Esten's Grafton there was a
presentation of seven flags to Middle
bury graded school by the post and
circle Past Commander Charles E.
Youtt made the address in behalf of the
post and Miss Martha A. Cary said some
nice words in behalf of the circle. Supt.
Arthur w. Eddy made happy response
in accepting the flags for the schools.
America was then sung, everybody
joining in, and the Rev. John Evans
Bold, rector of st. Stephens Episcopa
ceurch, pronounced the benediction.
In consequence of the continuing rair
the exercises which were to have beer
held at the soldiers monument were
| held in the hall at the conclusion of the
regular programme. Chaplain Jerome
holland offered prayer and Dean A. E.
Lambert of the college made briei

Middlebury Schools.

The teachers in attendance at the
meeting of the Addison County Teach
ers' association who awaited themselves
of the opportunity for visiting the Mid
dlebury Graded School building and
inspecting the work on exhibition were
well repaid for doing so.
The exhibit of work was a display of
the actual work done in every branch of
study in the eight grades. 1t set forth
graphically what is being done in read
ing, writing, geography Gncuding map
drawing), physiology, language, COM
position, music, drawing, nature study
and special hand work which is being
done, such as sewing knitting, cro-
cheting, basketry, etc.
A careful inspection of the work
exhibited showed that it was not work
done primarily for the purpose of an
exposition, because of the fact that the
exhibits in drawing, reading, compost
ton etc, was portrayal of the work
done in all the grades during the whole
year from early September to the pres
ent time. The work showed plainly
the remarkable degree of skill, advance
ment, and thoroughness of the Middle
bury schools work for which the midi
vidual teachers and the superintendent
should receive the commentator of all
Middlebury people.
The first grade has very attractive
room. Paper cutting and folding has
been done for busy work and to interest
the children in doing neat work. The
hand work, beginning with paper cut
ting and folding in the first grade, and
extending throughout the eight grades,
is well done. Self-discipline is great
part of good education. knowledge
without self-discipline is of no great
value to the individual or to the COM
munity. Children should be trained to
think, to plan, to work steadily. This
is being done in the school of Middle
bury. The good derived from the hand
work done in the early grades is not in
the intrinsic value of the work done,
but in the habit of doing well whatever
is done at all, and in keeping the chill
dren from being idle. The habit of
doing nothing, of wasting time with
sitting with nothing to do is one of the
great evils of some schools. On the
other hand, promptness, regularity,
the ability to do things well are not only
good for the child in school. but if they
become fixed habits they will last
through life.
Excellent work in knitting, crochetine
and sewing has been done in the various
grades. Composition and English have
been correlated with other studies, be-
ginning with the Hiawatha primer ir
the first grade and extending to physi-
, ology, Memorial day programme, anc
pupil-made book on Vermont in the
eighth grade.
There is no evidence of frills and fads
in the Middlebury schools as shown by
the exhibit of work being done. Pro-
gress is the watch word and superin-
tendent and teachers are making a
common-sense application of the same.
The children are being taught to think,
and to use their heads and hands at the
same time. w. K. M.
