married to Aleck Wagner In Cambridge
in 1904 In June 1911, Wagner was SEN

prison. After this Mary Wagner moved
to Underhill. where she met n man named
Cook and after they had made inquiry
as to her right to remarry and had been
mistakenly informed that she wac freed
from her previous marriage by tho SEN
fencing of her husband to prison. they
wer married in 1852 in Underhill by a
justice OF the peace named EphrainI
Smith. They lived together for some time
as husband and wife and had child

found out that her relation was illegn

The law makes a prison sentence u

STUDY OF AGRICULTURE.
Special Teaching I'm schools Wo"id lie
Of Value, Snys prof. jerks.

Agriculture In the public schools was
the subject of an interesting talk by
Prof. f. y. JenlSs of the University OF
Vermont before the brotherhood of the
First Church Sunday
Professor jerks dwelt upon the i'm
portance of the agricultural training and
of the trained agrioulturist. He did not
believe that 1t was advisable to attempt
TO inpart scientific agricultural training
ia the public schools. The subject Is TOO
difficult too mech q profession IN IT.
self. for the teachers to master or the
pupils to grasp. The two common mis-
apprehensions. he said. were that asricui-
ture could not be taught. and the equally
dangerous mistake that agriculture Is
easy after a chemist had analysed the
soil and the other technical things haye
been done.
But to say that scientific agriculture
cannot wei DO taught in the public
schools is not eaS1ng that the cause OF
agriculture cannot be helped by special
teaching in the schools what Is needed
is not so much scientific agricultural
training in the schools as courses de-
signed to interest the students in country
life and farming, and TO turn their at
tention toward the kind of agriculture
which is truly up to date and profitable.
Boys and girls growing up with health
full attitude toward country life will dc
much for the country.
Professor jerks spoke at some length
of the school-garden movement. the best
form of which he thinks is the movement
to have gardens at home. This takes the
form of boys and girls club work
These tend to interest and instruct and
to prepare the boys and girls for scien-
tlhc training in agriculture later on.

flowers. hid them behind screen. yet
although they were concealed from

tainted shortly after entering the
