that counsel for Mr.. Foster had already

PLAN TO GET
BETTER ACQUAINTED"
Fully 100 Board of Trade Members Co
ing on Trip up West River
Valley Thursday.

Plans for the better acquaintance
tour that the Brattleboro board Of trade
is to make through the northern part Of
the county Thursday are progressing
favorablv, and it now looks as if fully
100 members would make the trip. The
automobiles in which the party will
travel will start from the Brooks House
PROMPTLY at 4. m, making brief stops
at various towns in the West river
vallev. Dinner will be served at the
South Londonderry hotels, and the re
turn trip will be made by way of Ches-
ter and Bellows Falls.
The primary object of the trip is to
bring Brattleboro S business men into
closer touch with the residents Of the
towns through which the trip is laid
out, and although the stops will neces-
sarily be brief it is probable that some
member of the party will speak briefly
at each. The itinerary IS as follows:
Leave Brattleboro, a. m, arrive at
Newfane, 9.45 a. m; Townshend,
1918 a. m; West Townshend, l0.45 D.
M; Jamaica, 11.55 a. m; South Lon
donderry, 12.3o p. m. Leave South
Londonderry, p. m, arrive Mt Ches-
ter, } p. m; Bellows Falls, ! p. m;
Westminster, p. M; Putney, 80 p
m; home, 8 p. IN.
All members Of the local board OF
trade who are planning to make the
trip must send in their return cards at
once if they have not already done so
for it is important that those in
charge know how many machines are
needed to accommodate the party.

Forty Years of Service,

ness as a freight and passenger carrier

sidewheel steamer Maggie has passed

torn to pieces for the metal in her The

The Maggie was built at Wilmington,
Del. in 1869. for service on the CheSa-
peake out Of Baltimore, and was one of
the original vessels of the old Eastern
Shore Transportation Company. When
the Eastern Shore and other steamboat
lines out of Baltimore We're absorbed
by railroad interests and combined in
the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic
line, the Maggie was one of the steamers
that was taken in the process of ANAL
gamation. She did faithful service until
year or two ago, when she was re-
placed by newer and more modern craft
in her day she was regarded as a floating
palace by the people OF the eastern shore
OF Maryland.
To the colored population of the dis
tricts where the Maggie piled the vessel
was ever source Of wOnderment, and
it's goings and cOmings would be watched

the vessels whistle was always recog-
nized. The Maggie is Cos gross and 494
net tons register, and is 16i feet long,
IS feet beam and SO feet deep, The
horsepower of the vessel was $50 and

SCHOOL WORK FEATURES
CHICAGO MANS PLAN
Better Results in Reducing Number
of Daily RecitationE-Semi-
Industrial Classes.

1.-The old-fashioned set course, with Gull
tural aims, has caused many failures,
produced hundreds of nlisfits and driven
innumerable boys and girls to leave
school as soon as the law will permit"
declares Edwin l. Canine, superintendent
of schools in East Chicago, in state
ment addressed to the United States
commissioner of education.
East Chicago is city Of cosmopolitan
character and strong democratic tenden-
cies. according to Supt. Canine. There is
no wealthy nor especially cultured class
and extreme poverty is unknown. His
problem. therefore, was probably some
what different from that Of other school
men. In his efforts to solve it he empha-
sizes certain special features, among
which ..semi-industrial work., a ma XII
rlum-mnimum' plan or assigning school,
lessons and a method of reducing the
number of daily recitations are .conspicu-
ous
Semi-industrial classes were formed
when it was found that some children,
especially in grades five, six and seven,
appeared unable to carry the regular
work. even after repeated trials. Special
attention YVES given to these pupils. One
third or one-fourth Of their time was
spent in the manual training or domes-
tic science department, where the work
was made as practical as possible. Then
the special teacher took them for about
the same amount OF time and coached
them in the subjects Of the grade in
which they had failed
