THE APOLLO CLUB

The Apollo club met Tuesday even
ing. Feb. 9. at Miss Wilkinson's home.
Nearly all the members were present
and each read paper on 1.-The Roman
Children's Education." These papers
were very interesting and as no two
were alike, the club learned many
things new to them. Then the mem
bers read over some Latin plays, act,
ing out the parts where possible, and
creating not little amusement. Re-
freshments OF cocoa, sandwiches and
cake were served by the hostess.
After this all sang some Latin and B..
A. songs and the meeting adjourned.
Every meeting seems more interesting
than the last and certainly the time is
not wasted when so much knowledge
as well as so much pleasure is gained
at each meeting.

Recent letters from N. M. Scott,
now at Los Angeles and about to go to
San Francisco to attend the Panama
Pacific exposition, are of much inter-
est. as Mr.. Scott is the first Barton
man to visit the big ditch.
''The party left New Orleans on Jan.
23d. in a rain and snow storm, for the
five-day boat trip to Colon, going
through the Caribbean sea. On the
Gath a British cruiser was sighted and
it was learned that she was lookin
for contraband goods, which might be
shipped from southern ports. The
voyage was uneventful but it cost very
little to board me on this trip. We
arrived at Colon on the Goth. Through
the assistance of member of the
party. we were able to obtain a pass
and therefore a good opportunity to
view the canal, certainly most Won
derful piece of engineering. The canal
is very carefully guarded by U. S.
soldiers during this period of European
war, and detective accompanied our
party, as every precaution is taken to
! see that the canal is not damaged by
spies who might wish to dynamite it.
We were afforded the opportunity of
seeing boat go through the locks and

boat trip was as uneventful as the trip
down. except it was very rough, and
cost still less to board me than going.
On returning we were obliged to leave
the boat at a quarantine station before
being admitted again to the states.

the pupils other than to supply their
wants or to answer necessary ques-
tions. kecesses ::of five minutes each
were declared between test periods.
During these moments of relaxation
the pupils went into the halls and
conversed as theyt chose. We have
discovered no reason to believe that at
these times and during the noon hour,
the pupils gave or received informa-
tion concerning any particular question:
or examination.
In conclusion, we believe we have
hit upon a scheme for holding mid
year and final examinations that sur
passes any other we know for aiding
in developing responsibility in the
pupil. This experience solidifies our
confidence in the pupil and we suggest
that other schools try the scheme.

Methodist Episcopal Church Notes

Sunday morning the pastor preached
another excellent sermon using as a
text. Gen. 1916, "He fingered. -
"Lot moved to the wicked city of
Sodom and when commanded to leave,
he fingered. and had to be carried
almost by force out of the city. To
try to excuse yourself from breaking
Gods laws is to move into Sodom. bag
and baggage. Many have moved into
SodOm. Lot was not the only one. If
you habitually neglect the church and
her services for worldly pleasures, you
have moved to Sodom. Lot was
warned He fingered. God has spoken
to you, time and again. to turn to the
cross, but you are like Lot. you linger.
If you honestly believe in God and His
church. it is your duty to come on the
Lords side. To linger is to court de-
struction. Then let US be up and
away"
There were SO at Sunday school.
Will you help to raise that number
next Sunday.
Sunday evening the pastor gave ar
address on. 'The Bible. Whose Book
Is 1t, Gods or Man So" We were
shown very clearly that it is the WorC
of God.

on the Tragedy of the I'm.
prepared.

Thomas Brooks Fletcher, the lee
turer, addressed a good audience in
Seaver's hall Monday evening upon
the above. named subject. Fletcher is
a very dramatic lecturer and his style
of oratory is marked departure from
the average. He said person must
today be 100 per cent prepared or he
was liable to failure. He told the
young people that fitness in body. mind
and character, were the essentials for
success. that commercialism today was
demanding and giving more character
than ever before and the world stood
ready to help one up or down, the real
making of life being within the
hands of the individual himself.
Stories that brought smiles and laugh
ter brought wildly to the mind points
which the speaker desired to show
and the audience was in good humor
from start to finish. The final number
of the course is a lecture by DIR. OFT,
on March Is.

IMPORTANT MATTERS UP
Legislature Considers Eugenics, Deer
Law, Tax Measures, Educational
Matters, Etc.

Matters are advancing at Montpelier
and while the end is not yet in sight
it looks as though the large questions
were taking shape and will be disposed
of soon.
One of the big things to settle is the
tax measure and the joint committee
on taxation has bill in which Is per
cent offsets are allowed and fiat rate
of seven -tenths of one per cent is fixed
for intangibles. Offsets are allowed only
on debts owing for which the maker of
the inventory has filed sworn state
ment. and the five per cent exemption
clause is done away with. In hear
ing on the bill Mr.. Hamblet of Barton
took prominent part.
The house has voted to abolish the
office of attorney general by 164 to SO.
The principal argument against the
office was the expense. 1t was argued
that for a state the size of Vermont
the various states attorneys could
look after the legal end Of the states
affairs.
The house has gone on record as
favorlng change in the deer law
which changes the open season to a
little later date than now and allowing
the killing of one deer, doe Or buck.
during the 20 days. season.
The bill for state detention farm
has been reported unfavorabIy by
the committee after public hearing.
The bill referring the matter of state
prohibition to the people has beer
carried in the house by vote of 160 to
SO and it is generally expected the
measure will pass. Orleans county,
the Monitor understands, was solio
for the measure.
Three edUca tional hearings have
been held and it is evident that the
sentiment to save some of the most
valuable features of the educationa
bill has crystallized and united effort
will be made to DO something con
structive along educational lines, but

THIRD OBSERVATION LESSON

Friday morning the girls of the
cooking department took their third
observation lesson This time the
hostess was Mrs. Barron. AS the
former lesson had been on pastry Mrs.
Barron gave an illustration of dishes
in everyday use. These dishes were
potato souffie and porterhouse steak.
The porterhouse steak was made from
round steak. This gave us lesson in
economy, as the latter is by far the
cheaper meat. Then to the surprise of
the girls Mrs. Barron served the
domestic science class to an excellent
luncheon composed of the articles
already mentioned and other things as
well. The domestic science class are
very grateful to the hostesses who have
allowed the girls to come to. their
homes for such valuable instruction.
