Encouraged not only by the fact
that one fourth of the 100000 want

naming the teams. Few of the team

morrow. after today's rest, each man
will have learned exactly what he has

Head Of Telegraph Companies De.
elares He VIII Leave Big Ranch
to Educate Children.

Boston.-A new college for New
England that will teach boys to be-
come happy and successful farmers
and girls to be efficient wives and
mothers is planned by Theo. N. Vail
of Lyndon, VT, president of two
large telegraph companies. 1t is to
b. one Of the most unique education
al institutions in the world.
The wealthy head of the wire COM
bine" has conflded to close friends
that he intends to leave his great
5,000-acre ranch at Lyndon to the new
college and endow It generously.
Boys and girls. preferably from the
country districts of New England. will
be received in the academic depart
ment at the age of about twelve or
fifteen years. A three or four years
course will fit them for college or for
entering the specialized branches.
At his beautiful country estate at
Lyndon Mr.. Vail told a reporter that
he is more interested in the school
he is building up than in any of the
great business enterprises from which
he reaped fortune.
II believe the great secret is to
teach boys and girls how to be happy
