St. bloomsbury Academy

IL is commencement week at st.
Johnsbury Academy and there is
going out from that institution a
class of forty-seven young men and
young women as graduates from its
different departments. Behind them
is the largest list of scholars in the
history of the institution completing
their work in one of the very best of
the secondary educational institu-
lions to be found in the state, or
New England for that matter. These
are facts not generally known in
the town where the institution is To-
Gated. But everyone in the magni-
ficent audience which heard the bac-
calaureate sermon Sunday evening
must have had new insight into the
strength and growth of the school.
No one who heard that chorus Of
young voices singing anthems and
sacred hymns could have failed to
feel a new enthusiasm for the school
and corps of instructors who have
developed such team work and stu
dent enthusiasm.
The Academy has done a work
this past year in it's industrial train
ing department never before under
taken. 1t has opened to boys and
girls not adapted to the studies of
a strictly classical course an Oppor-
tunity to develop their talents and
excel in certain lines-lines that
are useful and honorable. At the
same time it has given the best
classical training in it's history and
it now has over forty students in
the leading colleges of New Eng
land. There are enrolled in that
institution over $50 students from
outside the town. This means more
than we realize from a business
standpoint. 1t is worth much to the
business interests of the town to
have that number of students
brought in here to spend the neces-
sary money in securing an education.
It is worth more to the town to
have that number of young men
and women brought here for their
educational training. 1t identifies
the best of the youth of this whole
section with a st. Johnsbury insti-
tuition and St. Johnsbury life. They
will go out many of them into other
fields for their life work but they
will always have feeling of love
and loyalty for the Academy and the
town. They are a product of value
equal to our great industrial insti-
buttons.
With its halls filled with young
men and women, with its enthusi-
asm of progress, with it's broadening
and more efficient educational work,
with it's magnificent opportunity to
grow and increase it's influence and
power it stands today as an insti-
tuition that should have the loyal
support of every person who believ-
es in st. Johnsbury. An excellent OPP
portunity to show interest in and
learn more OF the institution is af-
forded in attending the graduating
exercises and the alumni dinner to-
morrow. Citizens of St. Johnsbury
lay aside your daily tasks and be
present and maintain the start
made last Sunday evening for the
largest and best commencement in
the history OF the institution.

and cooperation, by being loyal, and
by giving praise when it is deserv-
ed Some helpful suggestions were
each member of a club should be-
lieve in every other member; no
one woman can do or should do all
the work of the club or of the COM
mittee; club ethics teach the need
of the development of respon-
sibility; every member should
make up her mind, even if wrongly,
not depend on some one else;
in preparing club papers or address,
es don't apologize; don't thrust at
others; learn to take defeat if it
comes; if we do we'll in small
things something larger will come
for US to do.
She spoke of three classes of
service: How we are going to be
able to get the women of the rural
communities to join hands with us?
we need her as much as she needs
us; We have done a service to our
country in amalgamating the wom-
en- of every section, and We are now
confronted by the still greater prob
lem-what can we do to bring down
the antagonism which is springing
up all over this land between labor
anu capital. ne yOuAS SAIlS VI
the country should be interested in
state and general Federation work.
She closed her most helpful talk
with the wish that the women all
over the country might have more
and more charity one for the other;
charity not of deed alone, but char
ity of speech and charity of judg
ment.
Mrs. Pennybacker was followed
by Miss Helen Winslow, who paid
a worthy tribute to Mrs. Decker,
who was considered the best presi-
dent the General Federation ever
had, and whose mantle has fallen on
Mrs. Pennybacker's shoulders, as
she stands just as high in our ap-
probation and is just as close to
our hearts. Miss Winslow brought
greetings from other Vermont men
and women who have gone from
this state, and said the club move
ment was at first a thing of person
al culture, but it will more and
more rise to be one of the great
forces of spirit and up-lilt in this
country.

REsPIRAToR FOR FIREMEN.
Tested at Central Station in Room
 Full of Sulphur Fumes.


 Thursday afternoon at the Central fire station a demonstration of the Merryman respiratOr was given that showed how this could be used with perfect safety by the fremen to enter 8, smoke charged atmosphere where where they could not breathe without it. General Manager William Nash of the FespiratOr conducted the test under the supervision of Chief Howard l.. Stanton.
 Bremen Archibald Cochrane, David Fitzgerald and John l.. Hill put on the respirator in turn and stayed for from three to l5 minutes in room that was blue with the fumes of sulphur smoke and formaldehyde from sever IL candles that were set burning in it.. All the men agreed when they came out that they smelled nothing of the powerful fumes. but each spoke some what of the little extra effort required in breathing with the respirator on.
 The reSpirator is composed of a. sort of rubber helmet which fits tightly over the top of the head and face, thus shutting out com pletely the deadly fumes that might be met while there is a chemical called "oXone" contain ed in d chamber which evolves pure oxygen for the use of the man wearing the reSpiratOr. There are exhaust tubes which carry away the carbon dioxide. The eras are left outside the rubber helmet for hearing. which is a great advantage. The respiratOr is used with great success in mining op- erations in the west It weighs five pounds.
