sUPT. M. s. STONE RESIGNS.
VIII Retire at Close of IS Years of
Service

Mason S. Stone, state superintend-
position to take effect Aug. 1, 1915,
and the state board of education has
accepted the resignation.
Mr.. Stone addresses the following
letter to Frank H. Brooks of st.
Johnsbury, president pro TEN, of the
state board, under date of Feb. 8:
my Dear Sir
con Aug. 1, 1915, 1 shall have
completed Is years of service as su-
perintendent of education for the
state of Vermont and DESTROYS of be-
ing relieved of the duties Of the Of
fee, 1 hereby submit to you my re-
signation to take effect on that date.
"In resigning, l wish to state that
it will always be my pleasure to
maintain in active interest in YER
mont and, as previously, be ready
at all times to assist in the solution
Of it's problems and in the advance
ment of it's welfare.
F'In connection herewith, | desire
to express my appreciation of the
courtesy and cordially manifested
by members of the board, and to as
sure the union superintendent, the
teachers and others who have con-
tributed to the pleasure and success
of the educational work of the state
that 1 shall hold in lasting remem-
brance and gratitude their strong
encouragement and loyal support
during my years of service.
Every sincerely,
MASON S, STONE,
Superintendent of Education"
The acceptance of Mr.. Stones re-
signation was unanimously voted at
a meeting of the board in this city
Wednesday.
1t will be recalled that the legis-
lature of 1912 placed the appoint
ment of the state superintendent of
education in the hands of the board
of education, but continued Mr..
Stone in Office until Dec. 1, 1914.
On Dec. 1, the state board was
lacking a full quota of members and
the commission of other members ex-
PRED Dec. 81. Under these circum-
stances it was thought wise by the
board to leave the appointment until
a full board could act. Thus it will
be seen Mr.. Stone was serving by
virtue of tenure of Office, and his
resignation came as a great surprise,
not only to the board but as it will
to the people of the state.
A representative of the press drew
from an interview with members of
the state board, that the board may
be willing, in the event the present
educational bill of the special COM
mission does not pass, to recommend
certain changes in the present school
laws which to them seem impera-
tive to the proper development of
the states educational system and
the equalization of educational OPP
portunities and advantages in the
state.
1t is also indicated by members of
the board that in the selection of a
successor to Mr.. Stone the board will
use every precaution to place in the
Vermont educational field a man un-
hampered by local prejudice and fac
tional alignments, which have unfor-
tunately crept into the state and
quite generally aligned educators
for or against various men, measures
and educational policies.

that both West Virginia teams have

HAS GREAT FAITH HUDSON BAY
 COUNTRY

Herb E. Wilson, who has property interests in Cordova, and is now on a
 visit to Alaska from the states. has just returned from a prospecting trip into the Hudson Bay district, and re ports that he met a number of former Yukoners and AIaskans who are trying their fortunes in the new country. Among other Alaskans, MT. Wilson met Gene Allen formerly in the news. paper and real estate business in Cor, dova. Gene had started a paper in LePas, but had encountered opposi- ton when he attempted to persuade the traders to drop their other busi- nesses and put their money into mines controlled by him. The paper is now owned by other men, and Gene is back on the coast.
 MT. Wilson believes that the Hud- son Bay district will in time become one of the greatest mining countries in the world, but at present it lacks transportation. The country is very new and affords no soil or gravels, but deposists of mineral are every where. He believes that in two or three years that country will expert ence a great boom, as the Dominion government and the Canadian North ern are both building roads to the Hudson Bay. The pioneers in the district have failed to appreciate the mineral resources and those who have attempted to operate have found ex- penses too high, as powder costs $35 box and everything else in propor- tion.
 The country is one of magnificent distances, declares Mir, Wilson, and he states that the Dominion govern ment is doing great things to hasten it's development once the railroad has been completed. One bridge which spans Manitou river was built at a cost of $2,OOO,OO0. There is but lit tie timber in the country owing to lack of soil, but the countless lakes are full of whitefsh which find a ready market in the eastern states.
 Mr. Wilson also investigated number of mining properties on the lower Stikine river, which drains northern British Columbia and enters the Pacific near Wrangell He be- lieves that section is also due for season of mining activity.
