HIGH SCHOOL.
All Ready for Fall Opening-New
Courses Added and Large
Entrance Expected.

The school board has everything
ready for the Fall opening of the
high school which has been delayed
by the action of State Superintend-
ent Hillegas, who has notified all
superintendent tn hat schoo | S
throughout the state will not open
before September 18th. This action
is taken as a precaution against a
possible epidemic of poliomyelitis in
Vermont.
A teacher of Domestic Science has
been added to the high school staff
for the coming year. Bookkeeping
and commercial geography will be
added to the high school course of
study and thorough and practical in
struction given, and large entrance
class is expected.
The faculty is as follows: Princi-
pal, Paul A. Saunders; assistant to
the principal, Miss Lou Fullington;
teacher of Domestic Science, Miss
Ruth Stuart; grammar room, Miss
May Haley; fifth and sixth grades,
Miss Eva Whalen; third and fourth
grades, Miss Mabel LaRoche; first
and second grades, Miss Bertha
Webster.
1t is practically sure that a teach
ers' Training course will be given in
Island Pond high school the coming
year. Those who are eligible to take
this course should apply to the
school board.
All the teachers in the rural
schools are trained teachers. Their
assignment has not been made and
the schools and teachers will be Civ
en- later.
Island Pond has one of the best
high schools in the state. 1t is not
only approved by the State Board of
Education, but approved by the
Board of New England Colleges and
a certificate of graduation admits to
New England colleges without en-
trance examinations. This is feat
ure that many high schools do not
have, and one that makes this school
desirable for those who are seeking
a college education.

SCHOOL OPENING DELAYED

NATURALIZATION Taken
to Avoid Danger of In
fanti1e Paralysis.

AS a precaution against possible
epidemic of poliomyelitis in Ver-
mont, the schools of this state will
not be opened this fall sooner than
September IS. Milo R. Hillegas sent
Friday. Aug. 25, to all school superin-
tendents in the state notification of
this action taken by him on recon-
mendation of the members of the
state board of health at special
meeting of the board, at which he
was present, at the office in the lab
oratory building Thursday evening.
The members of the board also ruled
that health officers might enforce
any regulations they deem necessary
in excess Of those already made by
the board in regard to quarantining
children who come into Vermont
from outside the state.
While there is not case of the
disease in the state it seems almost
inevitable that Vermont will have
some cases with all of the diseases
in surrounding states. The schools
will not be opened until such time
as it can be told whether or not
their opening may cause an cpl
demic.

Essex County and Island Pond
Hold Out Opportunities I'm

Business enterprises are ever seek
ing new fields in which to locate.
Places are carefully looked over and
every detail that is necessary to sue
cesssul operation considered and
carefully estimated, and the place
offering the best opportunities and
has good freight transportation is
selected.
Vermont is known as an agricul-
tural state, but the steady progress
it has made, and is making, places it
among the states that are leading in
manufactures.
Every section of the state offers
opportunities for successful business,
and there is no place in the state
where better opportunities await
the coming of these enterprises than
Essex county in general and Island
Pond in particular. This section
compared with many other places in
the state is new in it's settlement, and
it has much to offer new business
that is wanting in other places.
Island Pond is we'll located for
manufacturing industries, especially
in the line of woodworking. Thous-
anes of acres Of timber operated
under the conservation methods of
forestry development will furnish
continuously abundance Of raw ma
terial at a price making manufactur-
ing profitable. Located on the main
line of a great railway system with
terminal Oh the Atlantic seabUard
and a direct route to western points,
it offers shipping facilities unsurpas-
sed in the state. This village can
offer three4necessary requisites to
new business for successful opera
ton. Schools, churches and social
life that makes ideal homes for op-
eratives, an abundance of raw ma
terial and transportation of manu-
factured products direct to the great
commercial centers.
Manufacturing is not the only good
thing that can be found in Essex
county. In agriculture it is unsur-
passed. The land is rich and returns
large crops to all tillers of the soil.
Excellent dairies and model cream
cries are here, and many acres are
waiting development. There are
opportunities here for the farmer
that will equal any agricultural sec
tion in Vermont.
There is another feature of Ver-
mont that is fast coming into
prominence. This is the beauties of
her mountain, river and lake seem
cry. Nature has deftly moulded
these beauty spots and this county
holds many a gem of those pictur-
esque spots for which Vermont is
becoming noted. So whether you
are looking for business, pleasure or
homes don't turn the leaf on Essex
county until you become acquainted
with the wide-open door of opportun
ity that awaits your entrance.
Full particulars will be gladly CIV
