There is a possibility that Barre school
children may be interested in cam
paign to exterminate the tent caterpil-
/ lar hereabouts. The matter is being
agitated to a considerable extent and it
is not unlikely that an organized move
ment will be started similar to the one
which has been in operation in Burling-
ton, as well as a number OF small towns.
It is proposed to offer prizes for the
students bringing in the largest number
of nests. Each child is to be encouraged
to regard the pest as its own enemy and
to make war on the species wherever it
is found. In one of the larger cities of
Vermont, one small lad alone brought
in q 900 nests which he had taken from
a small copse of trees near his home.
1t was record among his companions,
but his feat is noted here because IL
shows not only what may be accom-
plished by a single energetic boy, but it
also gives an idea of the prevalence of
the parasite even in a small growth of
trees. In Stowe 100000 tent caterpillar
nests were turned in on one day. The
movement usually starts with the school
children.
Barre friends of Miss Alice f. Lavelle
of Boston, former teacher in the com
mercial department at Spaulding high
school, but at present student in the
Leland Powers school of expression, viii
be interested to learn that her first pub
lished play. Puppets of Fate" is being
issued this week from the Gorham Press
by Richard G. Badger in Boston. pup
pets of Fate" is play of the time of
Napoleon in four acts and a prologue.
OF the play reviewer says: ut is both
interesting and truthful, portraying not
only external facts of the emperor's life,
but giving as well faithful representa-
tion of his inner life and the philosophy
of his domestic relations. In Professor
Corson's words, 'The greatest moral
teachers the world has ever known have
exhibited the least of explicit moraliz-
ing To the thinker, through
its character portrayal, and to the wom
an, through its appeal to the feelings,
Puppets of Fate win bring an interest
ing message" Those who recall Miss
fayelle's interpretations before local au-
diences will look forward with interest
