INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL BURNS.
Main Building of Institution Entirely Des-
troyed by Fire.

Velgennes, Feb. 1.-For the second
time in its history the Vermont State
Industrial school yesterday suffered
heavy loss by fire, the main building
being practically destroyed. In 1871 the
destruction by fire of the building at
Waterbury led to the removal of the
institution to Vergennes.
The fire originated in the tower of the
north wing and was first discovered by
some of the boys of the school as they
were coming from luncheon. The alarm
was given at l 80 p. M, and in short
time the local fire department had three
streams playing on the fire. The firemen
fought the flames with stubbornness but
it was hard fire to get at, owing to
the height and the headway it had
gained when the fremen arrived.
Superintendent j. N. Barss was on
trip to the east side of the State and was
interc epted at Rutland by telegram.
He arrived here on the $40 train, John
E. Weeks of Middlebury, president of
IUe SIdlG ptlldl UOdlO, Woo oioO hOtihCN,
arriving on the same train. Mayor
Harrington when notified of the fire
offered the use of the city hall to the
school authorities. The use of the
Baptist church was also offered.
Mayor Harrington also at the request
Of Superintendent Barss sent squad of
special police under Chief of Police Fred
Lebeau to watch the boys and prevent
their escape.
The building burned was erected for
the school when it was moved from
Waterbury. A fire wall between the
building burned and the addition erect
ed few years ago was the means of
saving the addition. The burning portion
of the building was occupied by Super
intendentJ j. N. Barss and some of the

Fish and Game League Meeting.

The second annual mid-winter meet
ing of the Addison County Fish and

At this meeting the regular routine
business of the league will be transact
ed. The dinner will be at The Addison

tary. Middlebury.

officers of the institution and about 120
of the older boys. The addition saved
was occupied by the kitchen, printing
office, laundry, boilers and dynamo for
the electric plant. A large part of the
contents is reported saved. The loss is
estimated at from $4,000 to $40, ,000.
The property is fully insured.
Nearly 100 boys, whose ages range
from to 10, were made homeless. AL
though not organized for systemetic fire
fighting, the boys worked valiantly and
through their efforts practically all the
contents of the building were removed
to safety before the flames could reach
them.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by a spark from an electric wire.
Low pressure hampered the firemen.
The structure was of brick, three
stories in height. 1t contained dormi-
tory, dining room, executive building
and chapel. The smaller buildings of
the school were not endangered.
None of the boys or their keepers was
injured, although a thick snowstorm and
falling temperate caused them consid-
cradle discomfort. The lads are kept on
their honor at all times, and none at
tempted to leave the grounds while the
fire was burning. They were given tenn
porary lodgings in the city hall.
The institution will continue its work
caring for the pupils in the new building
and hospital and the addition to the old
building.
Plans are under way for the construc-
ton of modern and as far as possible
fire proof structure to take the place of
the one burned. The boys are being
cared for in the school building on the
grounds and and some were allowed to
be taken home by their parents.

Independence of Solitude.

What I must do, is all that con-
Germs me, not what the people think.
This rule, equally arduous in actual
and in intellectual life, may serve for
the whole distinction between great
ness and meanness. 1t is the harder,
because you will always find those
who think they know what is your
duty better than you know it. 1t is
easy in the world to live after the
worlds opinion; it is easy in solitude
to live after our own; but the great
man is he who in the midst Of the
crowd keeps with perfect sweetness
the independence of solitude.-Emer-
