oils and Charles Mollineaux, seeing
he plight the boys were in, rushed
Iown and on reaching the spot Horto-
oils dove in and succeeded in bring

Trustees Raise a Like Amount by

The trustees Of Burr and Burton
Seminary are starting campaign to
raise money for some much needed re-
pairs to be made in the main Seminary
building.
Many of the rooms in both the girls
and boys dormitories need attention,
The heating apparatus needs special
repairing TO adequately meet the needs
of the severe winter weather Part Of
the Seminary roof needs stating as the
old shingles are far from water tight
The trustees are very anxious to put
the entire building in excellent condi-
tion. To do this sum of between two
and three thousand dollars must be
raised. Mrs. w. H. Mcclure has again
generously come to the aid Of the in
stitution and has offered to give one
thousand dollars provided the trustees
raise another thousand dollars by No

Burr and Burton Seminary has been
such an important factor in the educa-

years that it is greatly hoped all will
be interested in doing what they can
to assist in the effort at rejuvinating
the old Seminary building which has
been the landmark of the village for
so many years.

in completing their education. This is
made possible through a special en-
dowment known as the Judevine fund,
the readers attention being called to
this subject in an advertisement of

will no doubt be accepted by many
Vermont youths.
The University has well establish
ed policy Of assisting students in Sc
curing employment during their school
years, and in also securing positions
for graduates upon leaving the Uni
versity. An employment bureau is
maintained for both men and women
students who desire to earn money in
defraying their college expenses.
Many students have been added under
this policy.
While the University does not guar
antee to secure. positions for its gradu-
ates, it uses its best efforts to find
places for them. Excellent position are
found every year for many graduates
under this system.
Through its alumni and friends the
University keeps in touch with oppor-
tunities for its graduates. Many re-
quests are received from business
houses, educational institutions and
agencies for persons TO fill vacancies
and there have been times when there

SELF-DRUGGING.

Don't prescribe medicine for your
self unless you know the amount and
kind of drugs in the preparation.
Don't take unproven remedies. Don't
take poisonous or habit forming
drugs. In other words. don't pour
medicine of which you know nothing
into a body OF which you know less.
These are the vital points in an ar
ticle published by the United States
public health service in the public
health reports of recent issue, which
discusses the limitations of self-med-
ication from a different point of view
to that taken by either the ardent ad-
vocate of household remedies or the
person who unqualifiedly condemns
all medicines. 1t is obviously the
