The lawn exercises consisted of the ivy planting, welt written ivy essay by Miss susan Sumner, the singing of Fair Woodstock and Woodstock Aead- emy, class songs and general sociabili- ty.
 The class reception in the evening was largely attended by invited guests. The patronesses were: Mrs. Herbert w. Bowen, Mrs. E. k. Hall, Miss Mary Flynn, Mrs. J. NJ. Paine, Miss Emma Allen. Glass statistics were given by Ruth Biornbere, prophecy by Grace Haw kins, poem by Rolfe Lyon, will by Agnes White.
 Miss Sumner in her ivy essay stated that .The class of 1914 has one distinc ton that MT. Hall graduates with us ' This passing Of Mir Hall from active service in the,teaching world was an uppermost and regretted thought in the minds Of the assembled alumni and friends of the academy. Rarely can an educator look back on so many
 
 school and be justified in so complete an assurance of work well done. No better evidence is needed of the endur ing effects Of his efforts than the em. phatic words of appreciation which are continually heard from one and an- other of the 1S5 graduates and also from students who have been in school for a brief period. Oftimes these ex. pressions come from some folIicking student who chafed under wholesome restraint but whose maturer years have shown him what he owed MT. Hall. Not only in the school world but in every thing which makes for the best things in the community. MT. and Mrs. Hall and their family have made their presence so helpfuIly felt that it Is a delight to their friends that they are to remain on Woodstock Hill.
 Saturday evening at the Alumni Banquet for Woodstock Academy graduates since 1888, nearly sixty peo- pie came together for a social evening. A pleasant feature of the occasion was the serving of punch from the loving cup presented to MT. Hall last year. F. F. Rockwell was toastmaster and | Mr. Hall was seated at the head of the table.

Congregational Church Notes

Last Sundays lesson Of the Welcome class was in regard to State Colonies for the unemployed and next sundays lesson takes up the thought of "Simi- lar farm homes and colonies adapted To the various kinds of the inefficient and inexperienced, " with scripture basis as found in Acts 2: 44-47. l; 34, 35. Romans l5; 26; John 5: l6. The American Association for Labor Legis- lation reports that 5o0, ,00o iare wound ed and scared, and 35,000 killed each year, while we have 3,00o,000 cases of disease due to oecupational causes each year
 Next Sunday will be observed as International Sunday School Day. An appropriate opening exercise will be used.
 It has been claimed that the de- creased attendance during the summer months in the Bible school is not al- together due to the absence Of pupils from town. This will be tested in the Junior and Intermediate classes by a plan which iS expected to commence today and continue during July, An gust and September. A gold star will be given each Sunday to each class in which all members, including teacher, are present and who are in town and are not kept away from the school by sickness. A silver star will be given each class in which all are present who are in town except one scholar or teacher.
 Scholars or teachers who are to be away from Putnam for one or more Sundays are expected to notify in ad- vance some other member of the class who will be present.
 A rare opportunity for vacation rest at lowest cost, Christian fellowship, and inspiring and helpful discussions and entertainments, is offered by the Summer Conference, Isles uf Shoals, of Portsmouth, \.

Made Strong and Well by Vinol
 When we tell you that Vinol is the best remedy in our whole stock for making weak. puny. ailing children strong, robust and rosy we are only telling you what has been proved by hundreds Of mothers.
 ], L. Tickling. Macon. Ga, says: My child was very thin and delicate. no appetite. nervous. and did not sleep well. Doctors did not help her. Ninol was recommended and the change after fair trial was wonder. full She sleeps soandly all night, has splendid appetite and has gained in weight. I wish every mother knew what vinol will do for delicate chil. dren."
 What vinol did for this little girl it will do for every weak and ailing child because siokly children need the strengthening cod liver clements and the tonic iron that yinoi con. tains-that is why vinol builds them up quickly and gives them 8 fine. healthy color.

 The graduating exercises of the class of 1911 were held in Academy hall Fri. day afternoon. A tastefully decorated platform, H. hal full of interested friends, good music by the orchestra, md the presence of Governor Baldwin made a pleasant setting for the eXer- cises Of the afternoon. Prayer was of fefed by Rev. II A. Beadle of Pomtfet.

There Il has been accepted as, in a measure, the duty of the state that it should give 10 all it's people free education of every grade. Here in New England, at least, we deny 1t.

 Between common school and college come academies Many have grown into colleges. Many have fitted for college. Some have eontented them selves with being the light of a neigh. borhood and raising the local standard of popular education.
 Woodstock Academy has had long life. Originally, you know, Wood stock was, as far as possession went, n Massachusetts town. 1t was not Woodstock then; Massachusetts called 1t New RoXbury until late in the sev- enteenth century, and then gave Il the name of W oodsteek from the Eng dish village and manor house of Woodstock near Oxford.
