THE PAGEANT OF MERIpEN
Celebration of Interest to Many Per-
sons in Vermont.

Meridian, n. H., May 20.-Rehear-
sails are under way for the pageant
of Meridian to be given on June "a
and 25 as a part of the celebration
of the centennial of kimball Union
Academy. Although Meriden and
its academy are situated just east of
the Connecticut river in New Hamp
shire this celebration and especially
the pageant will be of interest to
many people in the state of Vermont
Just hundred years ago the cler-
gymen who met in conference to
found an institution of higher learn
ing were from Vermont and New
Hampshire Because of this union
and because the new school was TO
be supported jointly by the conferen-
ces of the two states, the name given
to the school was the Union acade-
my. A little later generous gilt
from Daniel kimball of Meridian; n.
H., determined the location of the
school. The name was then changed
by adding Mr.. Kimball's name to
the one already given.
IL was natural then that during
the early years of It's history very
many students came to Meriden
from Vermont. Many prominent and
and women in all parts of the state
are alumni of this school Not only
in the past but in the present is Yer
mont represented in the roll of stud
ents A considerable number of the
boys and girls who will take part in
the pageant of Meridian are from this
state.
Another fact which makes this pa
geant of special interest to Vermont
ers is that it is a third in a series of
pageants on the New Country Life,
the first two of which were held in

The citiec great and small, are dons

but the villages and small towns seem
to think that parks are Injuries be
yond them. We hear political econo-
mists bewailing the fact that the cities
are growing faster than the country,
and they ask why 1t Is. Parks, boule-
wards, libraries, added to the other at
fractions of the cities are sure to en-
tice the country youth from the hum
drum life in a frowsy hamlet And
who can blame them?
But If Mr.. Carnegie, OF Mr.. Rookie
Teller, or other of our rich men, should
assist and encourage our country
towns to build parks, to plant trees
and beautify their towns, thus max
ing their homes pleasant, the glamour
OF the city would not be so striking
the building and endowing OF great IL
braries is most commedable, but there
are many things we need more. Those

etr.et rrees Valuable Assets.

No one has ever been overheard
saying that any community town, city
state or nation grew too many street
trees on the other hand those hay
ing the most have become famous for
their civic pride and progressiyeness
Again. countries or sections OF coun,
tries have become barren, uninhabited
wastes when denuded of all trees
Therefore trees are in some cases &
prime necessity and In all cases a
valuable asset. So clearly is this rec,
ognized that there is much good.nat
ured rivalry as to which city Is best
planted or has the most street trees
In fact street trees are the finest mu
nicipal asset city may have when
well grown and officially controlled.

any episode of life more than that OF

wedding morning. This was supposed
10 secure his love and loyalty and to

In Yorkshire the old superstition still,

could happen than for newly made
