Teachers Convention

The annual meeting of the Lamoille
Valley Teachers Association at Norris
vile last Friday was a most interesting
and instructive gathering This getting
together OF the teachers and exchanging
views pertaining to the various branches
and departments of the work in which
they are engaged is of great value and
cannot be otherwise than beneficial.
The addresses were all good. We are
sure those who heard DR.. Hilligas, the
new Commissioner of Education, in his
address on the ideas of a Successful
Teacher" and Miss Goodrich, the new
principal of the Johnson Normal, in her
address on 1.-THE Teachers Professional
Opportunities" felt that the State had
added two strong factors to its educa-
tional curriculum. Both are forceful as
well as pleasing speakers. The paper by
Miss Brownell on "Music in the Rural
Schools and Communities, was not only
interesting, but shows that music has
an important part today in education.
Rev. DR.. Smart's paper on "a Simple
Reader and His Shakespeare" brought
out many interesting facts concerning
the great dramatist and was one of the
best features of the program.
We believe that gatherings of this kind
are of great benefit to the teacher in that
it better fits them for their work in the
schoolroom.

PURITY AND POWER
Necessary to Overcome Impure and
Weak Condition of the Blood.

The grip. hard colds, pneumonia,
fevers, diphtheria and other blood
poisoning, prostrating diseases leave
the whole system subnormal-below
par-weak and slow-blood depleted
and thin, with that tired feeling, poor
appetite, delicate digestive power or
almost none at all.
The ideal treatment is
Hoods disqualification to
purify the blood and expel poisons, and
Peptiron Pills, the new pepsin, nux
and iron tonic-to put power into the
blood, give strength, increase red COR
puscles and restore normal health

Hoods Sarsaparilla has in forty
years won and held the favor of the
people, almost to the exclusion of other
sarsaparillas and blood purifiers.

Recognized Fighters.

It was at royal review Of troops
that Queen Victoria made an immortal
declaration. Regiment after regiment,
English, Irish, and Scotch, passed be-
fore the queen. When the Grenadier
guards went past she expressed the
warmest Of admiration for the fault
less technic Of the regiment. When a
regiment Of Highlanders marched
past she became positively enthusias-
tic. Magnificent" her majesty is re-
ported as saying. What splendid SOL
diers those Highlandmen are!' Then
came an Irish regiment, which one is
not stated. This time it was not so
much the faultless marching and the
splenHid physique that SO impressed
her majesty. For moment she said
nothing. Then In low voice she
turned to an officer and said: "Ah!
That is bloody war!"

Antiquity Of Passports.

Passports are a very ancient insti-
tuition. Some Of the old monkish
chroniclers mention as an achieve
ment on the part. of King Canute that
he obtained free passes for his sub
jects through various continental coun-
tries on their. pilgrimages to the
shrines Of the Apostles Peter and
Paul, at Rome. Each pilgrim was fur
nished with document in the nature
OF a passport called "Tructuria de
Itinere Perage9ta." Hall in his
Chronicle" makes reference to a sys-
TEN Of passports in the time Of Ed
ward ", and the enforcement Of this
system is known to have been very
strict in the reigns Of Elizabeth and
James 7.
