COMMENCEMENT TO DATE.

The commencement week program
opened with most able and inspiring
address in the Congregational church
Sunday evening by Rev.~W. E. Allen,
in the presence of large audience, to
the graduating classes Of the academy
and grammar school. Pupils were
urged to make character-building
through the doing of Gods will, their
one effort, and to remember that as
each year begins, new and more
difficult problems present themselves
for solution, and the world is looking
to the rising generation to solve them.
Instances were cited Of cities, which,
at the height of culture and intellectu
al attainment had fallen, because of
the hollowness and wickedness of their
soul life There was invaluable food
for thought for both old and young in
the address.
The Junior reception to the senior
class and faculty was held in the
rooms of lie Beau Lac Boat club
Monday evening and the event was
certainly most enjoyable one. The
rodms were very tastefully decorated
in the class colors of green and white.
Promenading and dancing was the
program, the Schubert club furnishing
fine music. Refreshments of ice
cream and waters were served and the
event is considered one of the most
pleasant of its kind.
Glass day exercises were held on the
school grounds yesterday afternoon
and were attended by a good-sized
audience. The size of the graduating
class made it impracticable for all to
speak at the Commencement exercises
and for this reason "Class day" was
instituted and all of the 18 graduates
given opportunity to give orations or
essd dys. Following is the interesting
program as rendered: Invocation,
Rev. w. A. Warner; Grafton. '"The
Lucerne of America, maynard Everett
Foster; Class History. Robert Donald
| son Scott; Essay, early Britain, .

Prophecy. Maurice Albert Leland

"Out of Town"

Seaver's hall was filled Friday
evening to see the comedy drama.
"Out of Town" by the Junior class of
the academy and everyone has highest
praise for the production. The eight
characters in the play certainly repre-
sented their class we'll and it is a
testimonial to those in charge of
designating the parts that each
student fitted his role so we'll The
parts with most action were taken by
Everett Ruggles representing Bob
by, bachelor, Geneva Whitcher
characterizing Mrs. Thorndike, Bob
by's" mother and Doris Sears as Mrs.
Monroe, the mother with backbone. !"
These parts were exceptionally well
played, the audience not always wait
ing until the end of the act for
applause. Harland Paige as Duke
Monroe's charming daughter can
prominent parts because their acting
dick as butler. Clara Underwood as
Mrs. Thorndike's daughter and Hazel
Mcclellan as maid supported the other
characters in fine shape and must have
credit for it. If one were so inclined
they could hardly criticise one feature
of the play.
The school orchestra played an
opening selection and played for the
dance after the play to which a large
number remained. Their music was
complimented many times.
Miss. Ada Murray and Raymond
Wilson played a violin duet between
the first and second acts and Miss
Mary Hanson read between the second
and last scene. Both numbers were
roundly encored and the artists
respo nded for the audience.

Fellow Citizens OF Barre: Do YOU
think that the school children of this
city should be in danger of breaking
their limbs during their winter sports !
In the summer the city supplies play-
grounds, where they have teacher Ia
care for them. In winter they are given
dark, rough and dangerous hills to Goa It
upon.
For instance. look at East street.
There is one light at the foot Of the
street, while in the dark il is rough and
dangerous. Last wear the city let them
coast on Park street. 1t was all right.

which the boys filed in, leaving a good
straight slide. As for danger from
sleighs and such. there is no more dan
ger on Park street than on East street.
DO you think it is right that your
children should take the risk Of break.

PROGRESS OF TAXATION LEGISLA
TION.

Next Wednesday at 2:l5 O'Clock one
of Nermont's greatest problems-taxa-
ton-will be threshed out in the House
of Representatives following the act OF
the Senate yesterday in passing an
amended taxation measure, which abol-
ishes offsets, fixes fiat rate on certain
kinds of personal property, allows in
tangibles to pay the same rate as banks
pay and exempts loans on Vermont real
estate at rate not exceeding five per
cent. interest. In its present stage,
the bill is marked compromise, the
chief advances for which were made by
the Senate. 1t will be noted that in
recompense for the adjustment of off,
sets the law proposes to place personal
property, now legally able to carry off
sets, on taxation basis of one per cent,
instead Of whatever local rate there may
be where the property is taxable.
The above, in brief, are the chief fea-
lures of the proposed new law, but some
of them may be changed before the
measure Is enacted into law. In fact,
il is not safe to assert that the negotia
tions will not result in the entire meas
ure being kicked over, although we hope
that some definite and beneficial result
will come from the investigation of the
states needs.

State Dairymen's association announced
that the 1914 convention of that organi-

people of this section and OF northern
Vermont would prefer to go to Bur-
lington iii the conventions cannot be
held in the natural location In Mont
pelier or Barre if Barre had the accom-.
modations in hotels and halIs) because
of the greater accessibility of the city
by the lake, as the trip to Rutland from
central Vermont is accomplished only
after circuitous route by way of Bur
lington many unnecessary miles being eat
en- up, to say nothing OF time lost. But
if Vermont had that cross.state rail.
road, it would be a different matter
entirely and Rutland would stand on
as good footing as Burlington as regards
accessibility from central and northern
Vermont; the trip across the mountains
to Rutland would be very short indeed.
And, likewise, the trip from Rutland
and that section of Vermont to central
Vermont would be made far less tedious
than at the present time All OF which
lends strength to the belief that yer-
mont's transportation problems will not
be settled rightly until we get a rail-
road across or through the mountain
to connect Barre and Montpelier with |
Rutland. We think that Rutland and
that section feel the same about it.
