In fairness to Principal George B.
Lawson of Vermont academy it should
be said that there is no truth to the
story appearing in some of the state
papers to the effect that his resignation
was sudden or due to friction between
him and the trustees. As stated in The
Reformer several days ago, DR.. Law
son S resignation has been in the hands
of the trustees since April 30. 1t was
voluntary and unsolicited, due chiefly
to his unwillingness to carry longer
the heavy strain imposed upon him by
the state of the school finances. 1t
means without doubt that Vermont
academy will be closed, for the problem
of making both ends meet has been
one that has given both DR.. Lawson
and the trustees a great deal of con
Germ for a long time.

they wanted to be the audience and
not the performers
And first Of all Bob led a process
sion all around the Barnyard, while
his friends laughed and called out
Many happy returns 1t was very
funny to see all the animals following
Bob. And they had no idea OF going
according to their sizes. First little
Guinea Pig would follow in line and
then a great big Father Turkey would
follow next, and then Baby Chicken
followed by quite good-sized Pig.
But Bob liked to have the animals
march just the way they wanted to,
and his friends all thought it quite a
joke
And then came the tricks They
did some pretty fine tricks, too, and
they all seemed to enjoy themselves
as much as the boys who were watch
ing them.
CAS- for Bob, he was proud as proud
could be And then he gave the prizes
to the animals. All the prizes were
good things to eat-things that each
animal specially liked-and every ami
NAL got prizel
"And then came the wonderful sur
prise Bobs Birthday cake was
brought out on top Of high box which
was in his express wagon. The ex-
press wagon was decorated with long
green grass and the cake was trimmed
with red and green candles. Wen,
when the animals saw IL, they all said
Just what they thought Of tin just
the way they speak, You can mag
inc the funny sounds in the Barnyard

what he thought of the queer thing
ton the express wagon) with the
burning candles in daylight Bob was
so happy that he had surprised his
Barnyard friends-and later on he
took his boy friends indoors to have
some of the birthday cake. But 6
/ great many crumbs went out after

through their representatives at the
