patrons Of the Talisheek school ask
ing that the board build an addition
to their school. This is, of course,
with the object of being able to teach
above the seventh grade, by the ad-
dition of another teacher to the fac
ulty of the Talisheek school. You
will, / am certain, consider this care
fully and do just what you think is
best. The number of pupils that
third teacher would be liable to have
must be considered first. Under the
present distribution of the general
funds an extra teacher at any school
uses up just so much of the general
fund for the first seven months, and
for ttsi reason all of you gentlemen
should take an interest in this mat
ter. expect that a similar petition
will be presented you today from the
patrons and friends of the Central
school. Probably representatives Of
these schools will be present and ex-
plain the claims of each school to
this addition.
The average attendance of the new
school at Maud fell below ten and /
was obliged to order it closed. This
was also true of the school you open
ed at the Todd settlement and or
dered it also closed. l have since
learned that it was continuing, but
having given this order / shall not
pay the salary from the public school
funds, for to do this would violate
the law.
The patrons of the Peace Grove
school In the sixth ward have asked
II they may not have the two months
extra from the special tax, given to
them just before the opening of the
regular term next fall, and desire
to have your instructions in this mat
ter.

Better Butter Markets.

The state department of agricul-
it but it is busy developing markets
for Vermont butter. 1t has secured
markets for butter from several CO.
operative creameries at an advance
and this increase goes directly into
the pockets of the farmers. The
agent, Mr.. Austin, recently had a
chance to contract 1000 pounds of
butter that would score ninety-four
or better per week with one firm in
Philadelphia at very good price. He
is unable to secure at present that
amount of butter of that grade.
Distinctive packages for their but
ter is one of the methods urged by
the department of agriculture so a
name for that particular creamery or
farm shall become known to the con-
sumner and is a distinct advantage
wherever it is adopted.
This shows the excellent opportun-
ity there is for Vermont butter max
ers to improve their product and get
fair compensation for the pains nee
essary to improve it. The opportun-
ity for Vermont farmers to increase
the production of their herds and
get more money for their butter was
never greater than at present. All
that is required is more brain work
and practical common sense methods
and the farmers of this state would
enjoy more stable prosperity than
any other class.
