WANT AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL.
Rutland and Addison County Associa
ton Get Together in Effort.

| Rutland, June 23.-An organization
meeting OF the United Committee Asso-
citation of Addison and Rutland coun-
ties was held at the Brandon inn in Bran
don yesterday afternoon at | o'clock, the
purpose of the meeting being to arouse
interest in the location OF the state
agricultural school provided for at the
last session of the legislature. The act
provides for the expenditure of $4,000
for school to be located in this or
Addison counties, with an additional
provision of $4,000 yearly for its sup
port, and it gives power of buying prop
Ierty to the governor and the educational
commission. The object of the associa
ton formed yesterday is to get the
promise of the location of this school.
Nothing was said yesterday as to the
probable site of the institution.
Thus far Henry O. Copeland OF New
York has offered his 300 acre farm at
Middletown Springs to the state for use
as an agricultural school and the town
'of Middletown has offered $4,000 to help
defray the expense OF establishing such
d school. The Copeland farm, which is
well supplied with farm buildings. en-
braces practically every kind of soil
found in Vermont and is thus well suit
ed for demonstration purposes. The town
OF Brandon has offered the Watson place
at low figure.

More Contributions to Historical Room

G.. G. Earney has made another con-
tribution to the historical room which
the committee prizes very highly. This
is the original pamphlet printed in New
York in 1868, entitled "An grafton de-
livered on the battlefield OF Gettysburg,
November 10, 1858, at the conservation
of the cemetery prepared for the inter
ment of the remains of those who fell
in the battles of July |, 2 and 3, 1858,
by Edward Everett, to which is added
interesting reports of the dedieatory
ceremonies; descriptions OF the battle
field, incidents and details of the battles,
etc"
1t is very interesting to people of this
generation to notice that President Lin
coins Gettysburg address, which ranks
to-day as one of the finest oratorical ut
terances in the worlds literature, is on
the title page Of this pamphlet not con
sdered worth mention. and appears in
side merely as one Of the minor features
of the dedicatory exercises.
Another interesting document recently
acquired for the historical collection is
"The Epistle from the Yearly Meeting
in London" The date of this meeting
is given as "the first of the sixth month,
1916" This "epistle" speaks Of the suf-
fering then being borne in the American
provinces and questions if it may not be
that some during long enjoyment of
ease and tranquility in those once happy
and flourishing countries, have incau-
tiously wandered till they have almost
forgotten the true Shepard" adding,
"Let all therefore honestly and strictly
enquire how far they are individually"
responsible for the Affections which were
then being endured in this country.
