PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FoH
SESSIONS WHICH OPEN
JUNE Path.


Preparations are being made 81.
ready for great summer school al
the university, beginning June oath.
Some Of the details are not yet ma
tured, but the preliminary announce
ments will soon be ready for distribu.
ton. The special characteristics Of
the summer school this year, as point
ed out by the director, DR.. Waitman
Barbe, are the following:
l. The facilities and opportunities
for the professional training Of teach
ers OF all grades viii be very greatly
increased over those offered any pre-
vious year. A model" or observation
school of the regular eight grades will
be maintained, and these grades will
be in charge of three expert teachers
lone from Columbia University, one
from Chicago Normal School, and one
from Parker Practice School, Chicago
There will be also courses In the meth.
DDS and principle of teaching by four
instructors4one from George Wash
ington University, one from Chicago
and the other two from our own uni
versity These courses will all extend
throughout the session.
2. Instruction and. shop work in
manual training will be offered for the
first time. The fully equipped shops
of Mechanical Hall will be used for this
purpose. The demands of the high
schools for properly trained instruct
ors in manual training will be met US
far as possible.
8. For the first time in the summer
school attention will be given To
physical training. Mrs. Chez has been
engaged to be director of children'f
games and the playground movement
and she will also have charge Of the
gymnasium for women. Mr.. Chez will
have charge of the gymnasium fo1
men. Mrs. Chez will cooperate with
the teachers of the model school,
4. Many of the regular college
credit courses will run for nine weeks
instead of for only six weeks as hith
erto. This will make it possible fol-
all who desire to work for credit tc
make great progress towards gradua
ton. 1t will also enable special stu
dents and graduate students to do the
amount of work that so many Of them
have called for. The model school, the
special work for grade teachers and
rural teachers, the music courses, and
all similar work will cover only six
weeks.
S. The number of regular instruct
ors in academic and professional sub
jects will be larger by four or five thar
ever before.

ture. The various problems Affecting
the country home, school, church, etc.

New store Of the Day-Pollard Co.

The dry goods and ladies' furnishing
store of the Day-Pollard company is
this week beginning its removal of
stock into its new quarters in Union
building For several months they have
been located in Westminster street in
the store formerly occupied by A. f.
Winnewisser for the Surprise" store,
and they have gradually bought their
new stock and marked it ready for re-
moval to the new quarters. In this way
they are thoroughly equipped at once to
begin serving the public in one of the
best arranged and most attractive stores
in all this locality.
In addition to the ground floor, they
have the whole size of the building on
the second floor, and the basement I'M
der their double store. This makes the
last firm or business house to return to
the buildings burned or damaged on
March 26. This building has been entire
ly rebuilt from the foundation, and
makes greatly improved addition to
the east side of the square. 1t furnishes
quarters for the different occupants I'M
excelled by any in Bellows Falls or
vicinity.
Pages new shoe store, successors to
Hatch & Bellows's store burned out last
March, was moved from it's quarters in
the Gray building to the new store in
Union building. 1t has an up-to- date
stock and the furnishings are far ahead
of any shoe store that has ever beer
conducted in Bellows Falls A forma
opening with orchestra and other ac-
compartments took place Saturday and
was largely attended by Bellows Falls
citizens and friends of the young pro-
prietor.

A Rare Type In Public office.

The resignation of DR.. Henry d. Holton
of Brattleboro as secretary and executive
officer of the state board of health is
matter much to be regretted, however
competent may be his successor, for the
reason that he has been so whole -souled,
so alert and so energetic, as well as so
broad guage and progressive "A public SER
want. DR.. Holton is one of that rare type
of men in public office who always mag
Nifty the office and its responsibilities,
rather than themselves who are always
ready TO sacrifice personal ease for the
public veal, who perceive truth only to
disseminate and enforce it, and to whom
neither emolument nor honor takes the
precedence of the sense of personal OBJ
legation to the public. The example of
such men, apart from their actual
achievements, Is such as to make their
retention In office as long as possible ex-
tremely desirable. and when, as in this
case. the inevitable time comes for their
retirement, 1t must always be with gen.
eral public regret, coupled with graft
tude for the disinterested services that
they have rendered. DR.. Holton is a man
OF great versatility and of a wide range
of honorable achievement, and man to
whom Vermont owes mot little, but 1t
is doubtful If in any capacity he has ac-
complished more for the progress of the
state and the enlightenment and sanitary

MR.. TAFT IN THIS CAMPAIGN.

The Boston Herald, formerly rated
as a Democratic newspaper, shows a
keen appreciation of President Taft in
this campaign and his record as an ex-
ecutive officer in the following editorial
comment:
mo one should fail to realize that our
distinguished fellow citizen Of the sum-
mer months, the Hon. William II. Taft,
is conducting himself as a presidential
candidate in an absolutely creditable
way. His utterances are few and digni-
fed. He is attending to the duties Of his
great office. one day charging the scope
of the classified service. and on another
evolving plans for the farmers welfare
sky.
"Mr. Taft has made an excellent Pres
ident. He has been earnest, aggressive
and high minded. The great projects
with which his name has been associ-
ated are sure to give him high place in
the estimates of history. He has been
the most non-partsan Of our Presidents.
He has appointed two Democrats to the
supreme court advancing a third to the
great Office Of chief justice. His cabinet
has been constructed on non-partisan
basis. He has carried, not only the letter,
but the spirit OF the civil service reform
idea further than any Of his predeces-
sors. His work on the budget system for
the lessening OF federal expenditures has
been In the highest degree commendable.
1t has been totally devoid OF political ad-
vantage to himself--and this he knew

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
sudden Death of r. Clifford Thomas.

Sudden Death Of r. clifford Thomas.
Our community was shocked Monday
evening at the news of the sudden
death of r. Clifford Thomas, the we'll
known electrician. He was engaged In
wiring one Of the houses owned by
Clark Chase on Chase court, and was
heard at his work on the roof of the
building at about. IL o'clock. His absence
at dinner time caused Mrs. Thomas no
particular anxiety, as he frequently was
detained and took his dinner down
town. When he did not return to his
home for supper a search was insti-
tuted, and his body was found on the
roof of the building where he had evil
IDENTIFY died several hours before. There
had been no connections made between
the wiring of the building upon which
he was engaged and the main current
wires so there was no possibility OF
death having resulted from contact with
the wires. The health officer certified as
to his death having occurred from heart
disease. and there was no evidence or
any struggle. 1t was not known until
two or three days previous to his death
that he was subject to heart trouble,
but he had suffered one or two serious
attacks of heart failure within the pre-
ceding three or four days, although 1t
had caused but little anxiety. Mr..
Thomas was about 80 years old and
lived nearly all his life in North Wal
pole and Bellows Falls. His father lives
in North Walpole. He leaves wife and
three children. His residence had been
the last few years at No. King street.
For several years, until about two years
ago Mr.. Thomas had been employed by
the Fall Mountain Electric Light &
Power company, and had wired a large
portion of the buildings in Bellows
Falls. About two years ago he left the
company and went into business for
himself, doing general electrical work
and keeping a small stock of supplies
at his residence. He had recently had
a number of important jobs, among
them the rewriting of the Methodist
church, and as an electrician he stood
high in his grade of efficiency. Much
sympathy is expressed for the family.
Mrs. Thomas has been dangerously i'll
this week. and at times her recovery
has been doubtful.
The funeral was held yesterday from
the home of his brother, Robert III
Thomas, on Pleasant street, because OF
the illness of his wife.
