Tcwnshend to Keep Training Course.

Last year a teachers training course
was established at Leland and Gray semi
nary. The work in this course proved
very successful, but since the state law
requires that a certain number be en-
rolled for the class there has been some
doubt as to whether the required number
OF pupils could be secured for the coming
year. All viii be pleased to know that
the requisite number Of pupils have signed
Tor the class. These training courses es-
tablished in various parts of the state are
doing good work and they afford many
girls OF moderate means the opportunity
to gain normal school training
The music class conducted by Miss Mary
Bane, soprano, and Miss Jessie Hawley
pianist, Of Brattleboro, also win be main
tanned the coming year These classes
have proved a great addition to the regu
lar work of the school
The prospects are good for a large schoo
this fall Not only will there be a large
freshman class, but there win also be
large addition to the junior and senior
classes

White Pine Weevil Working.

The white pine weevil is doing much
damage in this section this year, and the
state forest service, through its local pa
trolman, Frank 5. Hoag, or otherwise, is
anxious to do everything possible to as
sist owners of young pine growth to stamp
out the pest. This can be done in two
or three seasons at the longest and is
sometimes done in a single season by
cutting off the affected portions of the
trees and putting them in metal recepta-
cles with an opening covered with metal
screening of mosquito netting size These
receptacles should be left among the
pines which are being treated The
screen keeps in the weevils but allows a
parasite which preys on them to escape
and continue to destroy the pest As il
is already time for some of the weevils tc
be coming out, whatever is to be done
this season should be done at once.

Good Job For Mr.. Taft

According to The Presbyterian, the
denominational paper of the Presbyterian
Church in Philadelphia, ex-President
Taft is being considered as candidate
for the presidency OF Lafayette College
at Easton, Pennsylvania. A Unitarian at
the head of this dyed in the wool Pre- by
terian university would be somethlnsnl i
novelty, but that ex.President Taft would
fit into the place recently vacated by DR..
Wan field is the opinion Of those who
know Lafayette and the characteristics
of its student body.
Many of the students are Pennsylvania
Dutch boys-the veritable salt of the
earth who make great football material
and provide Pennsylvania with good
many of its Presbyterian clergymen and
its civil engineers.
Lafayette College on College hill over
looking Easton is one of the most beauti-
full colleges in the country, and Mr.. Taft
would find his lines cast in pleasant
places in Easton. Not only that, but
few months in the midst of pepper pot,
hot mince pie and some other dishes
famous to this particular Dutch-Presby-
terian educational belt would quickly fill
out the ex-Presidential waistcoats which
were SO recently the subject for an in
ward revision.

A "Straw" Vote for the Senate
From the Barre Times

If Gov. Fletcher has aspirations for g
position in the United States Senate, as
he is credited with having, the result OF
the straw vote" in Lamoille county on
Tuesday is likely to serve as wet
blanket, lnasmuch as he received only
about ten per cent Of the total vote reg.
1stered In the test. He was a very poor
third to both United States Senator Will
liam T. Dillingham; and Charles A.
| Prouty, the latter running somewhat
| behind the former, although not so far
behind as to be out of the reckoning
should he reverse his plan Of not being
an active candidate for the position
Lamoille county's vote is small in COM
parison with the vote of nearly every
other county in the state, but its s-nti-
ment may be considered fairly represent
tatiye of the state in this matter. Dill
l1ngham received 353 votes, ProutY re-
ceived 3I3, Fletcher received 90
In considering this test vote several
things must be taken into consideration
One is that Lamoille county horde on
Washington county, the home county
OF Senator Dillingham;, and that it also
borders Orleans county, which is the
hotbed OF Prouty sentiment, and that
the test was taken just at time when
the people of that hotbed were worked
up to high pitch of enthusiasm. There
fore, 1t may fairly be considered that
both Dillingham; and Prouty would run
stronger III Lamoile county than Fletch-
t but to counteraCt whatever inf1u-
ence close residential association may
have in influencing voters there is the
Influence which Fletcher has been able
to WELD in his tours of this state; which,
presumably included some sections of
Lamoille county.
Gov. Fletcher has been one OF our
most travelled Governors is, travel
ing over the state again and again and
bringing himself in close touch with
the people He has been, apparently, a
strong believer in the value of close as
ISOLATION, and he has come in contact
with large section OF the people, while
both Dillingham; and Prouty have been
removed from close association. Then,
too, as chief executive of the state, he
has been in position where the people
of the state could Judge of him at close
range. Therefore, the advantages which
Dillingham; and Prouty had from resi-
dence in counties bordering Lamoil!e
were offset by Fletcher's more intimate
present association with the people.
Then again, Dillingham; perhaps had
the advantage which comes with hold
ing the position TO which he seeks re-
election but In the case of Prouty that
was counteracted by the widespread dis
tinction which the Orleans county man
gained as a member of the interstate
commerce commission and by selection
as the one best fitted in the United
states for the important work of making
a physical valuation of the railroads of
the nation.
With these various influences militat-
ing to the advantage of each one of the
three possible candidates, it may be con.
sidered that the 'straw vote in La
noble county was fairly accurate in
dex of public sentiment in Vermont to.
