Fire broke out in the West Branch
Church last Friday evening after smoul-
deling ia the basement, it is supposed,
since the Sunday previous, when a SER
vice was held at the church as usual in
the afternoon. When discovered it seemed
impossible that the total destruction of
the building could be prevented, but the
timely arrival of the village fire company
and large number of men from the sur
rounding country checked the flames
after two hours work. The fire again
broke out about two o'clock Saturday
morning. Several men who remained at
the church, fearing an outbreak, were
able to check it without further help. 1t
is estimated that the damage to the
church will reach $1,000 The building
was insured in the Vermont Mutual for
$1,000. The agent of the company was
hera the first of the week to adjust the
insurance.

therefore, are of great and permanent

broadening effects of being intimate

ments original plan is follows:
Il very much interested in the successful working
out of the idea of these college camps l believe the
students attending will only derive great deal of
physical benefit from the healthful open-ar lfe but
also that they will benefit from the discipline habits of
regularity, and the knowledge of personal sanitation
which the experience in camp will give them. The
camps will also tend to disseminate sound information
concerning our military history and the present policy
of the government in military matters in addition to
giving the young men themselves very considerable
amount of practical military instruction. which would
be useful to them in their services should be
required"
Although these military instruction camps were
originally intended for college men, any young man,
present past graduate of high preparatory
school, is eligible to attend The instruction is of high
ORDER and will give such training generally
ciated with military Institutes Applications may be
forwarded at any time Captain R. 0. Van Horn War

The camps are located with due regard easy access

is give to the young Of the country opportunity
for short in military training, order that they
may be better fitted to discharge their duty to their
country should it stand in need of their service in
war.

a common SchoOl education.
The first method was established
last year in the two camps; one at
Monterey, California, and the other
at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. They
proved SO successful that four will be
established this year. At Gettysburg
sixty-three universities and colleges,
among them most of the leading in
situations Of the United States, except
the Pacific Coast, were represented
by one hundred and sixty students.
Similar conditions obtained at the
camp at Monterey, which was at
tended by eighty-fve students from
twenty-seven educational institu-
tons on the Pacific Coast. Ninety
institutions in all sent representa-
tlves.
This year camps will be located
at Burlington, Vermont; Ashevillc,
North Carolina; Ludington, NIichi-

These experimental camps have
received the Endorsement of the

also Of practically all the presidents
