w. G. Fairbanks, former superin-
tendent, gave practical talk and told
of the fire at Waterbury and of NOV
ing the school to Vergennes. What
would any of us be without good
homes. he asked, and told the children
that they We're fortunate in having
the advantages of the splendid school
the state has provided here.
PROF. EMERSON'S SUGGESTION.
Prof. S. r. Emerson told the students
that we believe in you and that you
will make the most of your opportuni-
ties. He suggested that on the walls
of the chapel would be a fitting place
to chronicle the deeds of those who
are sent out from this school, and he
hoped in 10 years from now that a
eginning will have been made and
that he would be here to read what is
written. The names thus inscribed
will serve as an inspiration to all that
r. L. Ingalls, was much moved by
the announcement that one of the
buildings had been named for him, a
former superintendent and trusted
that it would always carry a message
of sympathy to those who live within
its walls.
Owing to the length of the program
Superintendent Walker of the State
prison spoke very briefly and was fol-
lowed by the Hon. Fl. T. Baldwin, a
member Of the board of penal institutions
He said he should never forget his first
visit to the school as a deputy sheriff
% years ago when he brought boy here
He told of the work the board Is doing
at Rutland and Windsor and though,
that the treatment of the boys and girls
in the Industrial school was such that
he did not need to feel as he did wher
he first visited the school, although he
toon special pains to make it clear thai
he did not then understand what was
being done for the children committed
to the State institution. The organizinl
of the band and orchestra Is a great
step forward and these things are being
done to uplift the children. The Stat,
has always responded we'll to all de
ma nds made upon it and he hoped thai
| 1t will keep this good work up He
called the students TO respond by
ma..ing themselves good men and women
BARSS PRAISES ASSISTANTS.
| Superintendent Barss in closing praised
| his efficient corps OF teachers and SAID
| that while he had been in Vermont HI
had found that politics never interferet
with the school management, which coult
not be said Of similar institutions else
where in the Union.

to end his life, Robert Ross, an cmploye
of the city water department, made a sec

land hospital. and hut for the prompt

the time assisted ny others Of the staff
whom she summoned, Ross would have
been suicide He had torn off the band
ages and ripped open many of the stitches
which closed a gap in his neck reaching
from one ear to the other. His condition
tonight was but little changed by his
last attempt at suicide and the attending
physician, DR.. f. II. Gebhardt, thought
there was a good chance for his ultimate
recovery.
Since Ross cut his throat with razor
a few nights ago a special officer has
been stationed at his bedside during the
night. but during the day, especially when
any Of the nurses was present, Ross has
been very quiet. He raved more when
alone and during his stay at the instltu-
ton he has caused no trouble when the
officer was present. This afternoon about
o'clock he was being given some nourish-
ment in the form of tea when he sudden
~ grabbed at the handages about his
neck and before the nurse could Offer
much resistance he had torn them off
and, graphing at the wound. he opened
several of the stitches of which there
were over 30. He was finally subdued
and the physicians were summoned.

the death of his wife. which occurred
about six months ago. On Friday night
Of last week he entered the sleeping
apartment at his boarding house anC
after awakening the occupants, Mr.. ant
Mrs. John Moulden, he ran into another
