c,oli,t IN medical education. DR.. Phil
ander p. Claxton, Y. S. commissioner of
education. is very much Interested in the
present survey and all of the information
concerning Vermont which is I'm the
hands OF his bureau will be available for
the commission. The general education
board is strong organization. which
hs. spent millions of money promo,,ng
educational enterprises and collecting
data. All Of this which bears on our
problems will be at the disposal Of the
commission,
What does it mean for Vermont TO
have such an array OF men studying
our educational system and putting their
best efforts to the task OF working ont
an efficient plan? 1t means that we have
an opportunity to do an important work
Those men could not be Induced IN on
gage in trivial Undertaking. Their
presence and interest Is the highest COM
pllment we could have
WILL BE ENv1ED BY ALL
Secondly, it means that we shall have
collected for us the significant facts
about our own conditions. These men
the significant facts and then, we could
not see peculiarities In ourselves, even
II we were trained educational sur
vcyors. The outside observer often mis-
understands what he sees, but in this
respect the experts are proceeding IN
the ideal way. Before making use Of
any fact they ask us for an explanation.
They want our opinions and our reasons
for things, as well az the observable
facts
Thirdly, these men are diagnosticians
and not detectives. They will scrutinizc
us carefully and keenly, but always with
n desire to help, 10th to condemn, glad
for all the good they can find. wholly
interested in constructive work for our
benefit. We arc not being trieu. we are
being lifted up.
What then is the outlook for Vermont
Well, If we are not envied by every.
State in the Union. people are obeying
the Tenth Commandment letter than |
think.
The method we have adopted is so well
conceived and thoroughgoing that il will
necessarily set new standard for educa-
tional Investigations and I believe Yer
mont surveys will be carried on in
many ether States. To be sure, the desire
for leadership is only a matter of pride.
but I don't apologize for c little State
pride. | want my head on straight when
! say I'm from Vermont"
But far more than this, it means that
we are studying the fundamental prin-
ciples Of progress Good roads, scientific
forestry, intelligent farming, quarryine
and manufacturing are factors in prog
rcss, but the school Is the basis OF all
progress and when Vermont is giving
its best thought to its schools, the out
look is bright

DINNER
THE FRIENDLY PRUNE.

Few who sneer at a boarding house
prune realize it's intrinsic merit as either
food or n relish. Fruit of some kind
is very desirable for breakfast and at all
other times when 1t can be reasonably af-
forded
Because the prune is so we'll dried il
contains only about one-third Of the
water which we must pay for in meats,
eggs and vegetables. In available car
bohydrates. starch and sugar the prune
stands in the very front rank as to value
and balance of nutritive elements for
amount of expense at usual prices.
Having lost two-thirds of It's water 1t
is necessary to supply that deficiency as
fully and perfectly as possible. On that
account much of soaking and little of
heating is best adapted to bring out
most perfect results. While California
and other prunes, as raised and packed
in the western part Of the United States,
are specially clean, still they should be
we'll washed and then put in lukewarm
water to soak for 10 to IL hours.
Although prunes are sufficiently sweet.
still by adding a little sugar as they
begin to soak IT will so blend with the
fruit as to make it richer but not
after cooking is not so desirable.
Prunes should simmer in a shallow and
broad pan, not to allow them to be more
than three inches deep, the heat should
not be over $50 degrees F, and they should
simmer. as boiling is injurious When the
skins are very tender they are done.
They should have Just enough water to
show. and that should be the water in
which they are soaked.
When the prunes are done, pour out
the liquid and bon down, II you like, to
a syrup. which can be used separately.
beyond what you like to return to the
prunes for serving.
Some prefer that the liquid shall not be
reduced or removed from the dish but
all served with the prunes stewed as
above. II you must add needless expense
or labor. with every little real advantage,
YOU can serve with cream, and If not
heartily tired OF whipped cream. that
would give a delicate and attractive gar
nish. They are good enough, either with
or without frils or garnish. Eat cold.
Simply washed and soaked in tepid
water and with no cooking whatever, they
are preferred by some. rather than those
to which heat has been applied.
A little lemon juice or a few thin slices
of lemon will add 20 the relish of prunes.

EXCELSIORS CAPTURED HONORS.
Annual Literary Contest at Newberry
College Results in Debating Vic
tory for Them.

The annual celebration of the liter
arv societies of Newberry college was
held Friday night in the opera house
in the presence of a very large aud
ience. C. NJ. Wilson presided, and the
Invocation was made by Rev. EdW

tics" and K. NJ. Counts on "The
Worlds Unrest" Miss Sudie Dennis,
coed and member of the Philomathian
society, read an essay on "Our Con-
stant Friends books.
The feature of the evening was the
debate on the question whether the
right of suffrage should be extended
to women in the United States. The
Affirmative was maintained by J. B.
Ballentine and F. H. Ballentine, of the
Phrenakosmian society, and the mega
tive by ]. A. Shealy and W. A. Reiser,
of the Excelsio~ society. The discus
sion showed careful study of the SUBJ
ject and was enthusiastic, occasional
ly drawing applause from the audi
ence, which was manifestly in SYM
pathy with the negative side Of the
question. The judges deulueu the
question upon the debate, wiclout So
gard to their own opinions, in favor
of the negative. The entire evenings
exercises reflected great credit on the
college and the societies and on the
young people taking part.

Neel located in his native county at
first for the practice of medicine, but
was pursuaded by his father-in-law to
move to that section, where DR.. Neel
has ever since made his home. His
wife died some years ago.
DR.. Neel was not only physician
of great ability, but was man of ex-
tensive affairs. When the Troy A. R.

Gymnasium Exhibition.

/ AS predicted the exercises held in
the college gymnasium last Friday af-
ternoon were a gratifying success, es-
ipecially so since this was our first meet
Despite the inclemency of the wealth
er a large attedance braved the ele-
ments, and furnished the proper in
spiration for the contestants
AS a result of this meet we find
there is wealth of material along
gymnastic lines in college and there
is every reason to expect wonderful
development for the next one.
Credit for the success Of the bars,
horse and tumbling events is due
largely to the conscientious efforts of
Mr.. LaMotte, who refused to be con-
sidered a candidate for any of the
prizes given by the merchants of the
town.
The student body wishes to thank
the merchants for their cooperation
and liberality, and to assure them OF
our patronage and hearty support in
the future. We remember those who
remember us.
