High School Concert.

''Sh S~tSOt SOuSCTts
More than fifty young people Of the
high school took part in the concert
Friday evening at the high school as
sembly rooms. The program was a
varied one but full of interest and
charm throughout. All the selections
We're spirited and taking In character
and yet were distinctly good music"
The girls Slee club, the boys glee
club and the orchestra all performed
splendidiy and simply delighted the
large audience assembled to hear
them
The male quartette composed of
Chute, Howe, Rollosson and Coyle
rendered their songs in fine style and
We're accorded warm reception by
the audience. Mr. Delbert Chute, plan
list for the orchestra, is sincere de-
voice of music and seems to be equal.
ly talented as player and singer. Miss
Coral Meador played the accompani-
ments for the girls glee club most ac-
ceptably. The orchestra was assisted
by Dr. Marsh, cello, Mr.. Ackles, bass
and Carlos Meador, violin.
The program presented is simply
regular school work, the club mem
bers getting credit for the time spent
in rehearsal, which is done out of
school hours. Such proficiency is de-
pendent on the work done In earlier
years in, the grades SO the perform
ance last night Is simply the develop
ment of the work done in the lower
grades by all the teachers.
The department of music in the
public schools is doing great work
in helping to create a musical atmos-
phere in the community and seems
to be doing more effective work every
year; at least each year the results
of the work seems to be more appar
ent.
Mr. Hayden and all in any way con-
nected with the concert are to be con-
graduated on having added to the
life of the community most yalu-
able possession. musicai training and
musical appreciation among the
youth.

responsibilities of an important surgi.

scientific spirit and discovery attracted
the curiosity of the students aud young
graduates of Edinburgh; his personal
nobility won their hearts: his art OF
winning their loyalty was by inspiring
enthusiasm and giving encouragement.
Often In the middle of a trying opera
tion,' wrote one OF his pupils. "A gentle
smile bestowed on us young students
when we were honestly trying to do
our best as assistants was most en-.
couraging.' Many of the students
afterward confessed that their contact
with Lister was the best and purest
influence of their lives"

One Hundred Varieties of Marble.

Although Vermont occupies only a
small space on the map when com
pared with the great area of some of
the other states Of the Union. yet its
mineral resources are very important.

production OF marble and granite. and
the deposits apparently are ineXhanst-

BILE industry of the world is in the vi
cinity of Rutland. VT. particularly at
Proctor and West Rutland. while the
greatest center of the granite industry
Of the world is in and around Barre
and Hardwick. Vt.
Although twenty-six states furnish
marble. Vermont supplies about 40 per
cent Of the finer grades suitable for
monumental work and statuary. This
state furnishes Al per cent Of all the
building marble used in this country.
and the demand for this kind of stone
Is increasing. There are Sbout hun
