NOT RESTRICTED TRAINING.
Is Plea of President Thomas of Middle
bury College to His Class.

AIiddleburv, June 22.-The vocation
alizing OF the state system OF education,
recommended to Vermont by the Car
nenie foundation was denounced yester-
dav by Pres. John M. Thomas OF Mid
dlebury college in his baccalaureate SER
mon to the graduating class.
"The education which viii hit YER
mont" he said lis not one which will
enable us merely to haul more stuff to
market and quarry more marble and
granite. Vermont has been great for
her men and the education of full grown
manhood will alone satisfy the Vermont
spirit.
The children of the farms must learn
from the masters Of great thoughts.
They must be taught their kinship with
the heroes of great deeds. They must
be trained 10 value truth in the realm
OF science, not for its bearing on crops
and trade, but for its pure beauty alone.
"A materialized tuition would disap-
point us in our search for wealth. 1t
would remove us from the glory OF our
past and blast the hope of our future.
THE states chief concern is that
through you some truth shall shine in a
clear light; some work shall be done
with a more faithful hand; some busi-
ness shall be managed with finer jus
tice; some profession shall be followed
with more disinterested devotion;
some person shall be loved with a pure
affection; some sphere of Gods right
eousness shall be served with higher
consecration."

Grove

event of the summer season for the

while the Lancers found an efficient
leader in DR.. o. f. Barr. For eight in
nings. the Lancers were holding the short
end OF to 0 game. but in the ninth
they equalized the score when George
Troupe hammered out a circuit clout.
Then the battle went into extra innings
and il was in the twelfth inning when
an error by r. Wright enabled the High
Wheelers to roll away with the contest.
The outstanding feature OF the game
was the clever pitching of Jack Ems,

allowed but three hits.
In the football competition the Lane
ers proved triumphant over their broth
cr High Wheelers. The game was
walkaway, 9 TO 0. The Lancers scored

BACK FROM CHICAGO CONVENTION.
Mrs. W. F. Shepard Returned to Barre
Sunday Morning.

A part Of the Vermont delegation that
attended the annual convention OF the
national federation of women's clubs III
Chicago has returned to this state but
of the three Barre women who repre-
sented the Barre Women's club. Mrs. w.
II. Shepard alone has returned Mrs.
Shepard arrived in the city on Sunday
morning after having been accompanied
from Chicago BY returning delegation
from Nashua and Concord, n. H. Mrs.
Henry j. Smith of Maple avenue. who
was one of the delegates, will remain
with friends in Chicago for few weeks,
and Mrs. n. d. Phelps of Park street
has gone to Fargo, n d., for an ex-
tended visit Mrs. George Smile Of
Montpelier and Mrs. G. A. Best and Mrs.
Ella B. Bailey, also of the capital, will
remain in Chicago for visit, after hav-
ing attended the convention sessions.
While in Chicago, the Vermont dele
gates, in common with hundreds OF 9th
er women from all parts Of the United
States were royalty entertained There
were 1923 women registered in all and
at most of the meetings the auditorium
was packed to the doors. A good deal of
! interest that centers in Chicago on the
woman suffrage question has spread
| throughout the country and it may be
| interesting to note the attitude taken on
! that momentous issue by the local dele
gates. 1t will be recalled that opposi-
tion to the extension of the franchise to
women was lost in a maelstrom of votes.
! Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Smith are said
to have opposed the measure, while Mrs.
| Shepard voted with the wing that en-
dorsed the equal franchise. Elsewhere in
| Vermont the sentiment among the dele
| gates is said to have been pretty well
| divided. Barely day elapsed from the
| time the suffrage question was briefly
mentioned until it was put to vote be-
! fore the convention for endorsement.
| Eve witnesses Of the scene say that en-.
| thusiasm for the suffrage fairly swept
the convention from its feet. What op-
position was voiced had no effect what
soever on the tidal wave of favorable
sentiment that engulfed the auditorium.
! Mere man had his part in this consum
nation. for visitor at the convention
observes that apparently every man who
was honored with seat in the conven-
tion favored equal rights at the polls.
| Pro- suffrage delegates as well as an
| taqonists Of the movement were given an
opportunity to see the workings of the
ballot when the time came to vote for
the national officers. Voting machines
were used and the women were given
that freedom of the polls that the ma
iority at Chicago seemed so earnestly to
desire. Barre delegates had once. twice
and three times the privilege of meeting
Jan Addams at Huh House. There they
were dined and shown about the wonder
full institution that has been created by
the personality of Miss Adams.

WROTE DEspoNDENT NOTE.
Gertrude White of Burlington Probably
Committed Suicide.

Burlington, June 22.-No trace has
been found of Miss Gertrude White, who
has been employed at A. r. Whites soda
fountain and who disappeared last
Thursday. There is strong evidence at
hand that Miss White committed SUI
eide. Friday afternoon her coat ana
hat were found on the beach near the
boat house at Rock Point. In one OF
the pockets was a. note book from winch
several sheets had been torn. On these
sheets she wrote letter to her relatives
which was received the sam day the
garments mentioned were found. She
tsated in the letter, from informa-
tion that has leaked out, that she was
living in troublesome world and that
she was having serious thoughts as she
looked towards the lake.
From what has been learned OF her
actions on Thursday the letter was
probably written early that evening at
Rock Point. She was observed cross
ing the field in front of Rock Polnt
institute about $3.50 in the evening
walking towards the beach, and her
coat and hat were found on the beach
Friday about | 80 o'clock by Fred De-
lage. Az day Saturday and Sunday was
spent by several people in searching Tor
the body. About ten o'clock Saturday
morning one of the searchers SAID he
saw the body in the water and the Chief
OF police and health officer were noti-
fed. They went to the scene in the
police patrol car, but it was found that
thn ,,,an hal hac., mis- ta
Miss White was a Young woman "
years of age, and daughter OF Lucius
White of South Burlington, She has
worked for the White store some little
time. It is known that she had love
affair some time ago and recently she
learned that the man with whom she
was in love was married to another girl
Since that time her employer, Mr.
White. says she has not been the same
girl. She was given to frequent fits OF
dependency and was often observed to
be in tears. She would never give any
explanation of these moods.
Thursday OF. last week she was feel
ing badly and told Mr.. White that she
had trouble with one of the clerks and
she was going to get through. He told
her to not mind and to go back to
work. She went to her rooming place
that afternoon, changed her clothes to
white dress and went away, it being
understood that she was going to a
dance at Queen City park That was
the last heard Of her except that she was
observed going through the field to the
lake at Rock Point evidently on her way
back to the shore after she had written
the letter on the pages torn from the
note book.
