IN spite of the small pox scare
and the usual inrOadS of con
tagiOus and infectious diseases,
the attendance this year has
been the best since any perma.
nent record of the school has
been kept. The work as a
whole has been more SatiSfac

bly, the most disappointing fea.
ture of our work is that not all
pupils who enroll in the fall re-
main throughout the term.
Some OF these losses are neces
sary, but others, especially in
high school, are for trivial rea
sons. Such students usually
regret when it is too late the
failure to make their grades, but
others settle down with lowered
ideals and increase the number
of life's failures. Teachers are
sometimes to blame but not

The pupils in the intermediate
grades have done quite well in
their examinations, and of those
attending now very few will fail
OF promotion.
The attendance at high school
has been exceptionally good dur
inc the last month, and all who
have remained faithful will finish
their work very satisfactorily.
The grammar grades have fin
ished their tests and most of
them know what their standing
is. There are - in the eighth
grade who hope to be promoted.
In addition to the flower study
the first and second primary
grades are very much Interested

are studying about wasps and
their homes, and some OF the
pupils have found out some very
pointed things about these little
creatures.
Mr.. Stephens and Mr.. Cant

afternoon with us Tuesday in
speeding work and giving advice
to the students. Next year we
hope to have each member OF

QUICK PRODUCTION OF MEAT
Swine Afford Opportunity Of Realizing
Profit Quicker Than in Any
Other Way.

After all is said and done regarding
the necessity OF increasing the meat
supply, the fact remains that meat
can be produced quicker and in great
er supply by hogs than in any other
way. While sheep and cattle will give
an annual increase OF from 60 10 100
per cent, the swine will give from 500

the Civic league playground, the com

the Labor day pageant. An inevitable
effect of the aggressive original work OF
the league is seen in the statement "Spe-

DIED In HER SLEEP.
Miss Josephine E. Keller, Bennington
Librarian.

Bennington, Aug. 5.--Not in many
months has this community suffered such
a shock as came to it yesterday morning
when it became known that Miss Jo-
sephine E. Keller, librarian of the Ben
nington free library, had passed away
during the night, death being due to
heart disease with which the young WON
an had been afflicted for some years.
Miss Keller, accompanied by her sis
ter, Miss Elizabeth l.. keeler, attended
the opening session of the Chautauqua
Tuesday evening and retired apparently
in her usual health Realizing that be-
cause of the heart difficulty she required
longer hours of rest, she was not called
with the other members of the family
yesterday morning, Later when some
one entered her room TO awaken the
young woman it was found that she had
passed away in her sleep. DIR. J.. H.
Ross was Immediately summoned and as
certained that death had ensued some
hours previous.
Miss Keller was the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Daniel b. Keller and was "a
years old. having been born at Little
Falls, n. ", Dec. IN. 1891. She moved
with her family TO Remington about III
years ago. Graduating from the Ben
nington high school in the class Of 1910,
she became the librarian at North Ben
nington. Later she took special course
of study at Simms college in Boston.
She was for a time assistant at the
Bennington free library and when the
librarian. Miss Angie Meldon, resigned
three years ago, she was appointed to

who know the value of money. This idea
that poor girls make thrifty wives is not
sound. The worst spendthrift wives
know came from poor families. Not
knowing the value of money-never hay-

lutely reckless with their husbands coin.
They don't know where the money came
from, how hard it came, and they have
no idea of using it judiciously. The
