EDUCATIONAL MOVE.
Clyde NJ. Hill to Have Charge of
Junior High SchOOIs-Teachers
Certificates.

The state board of education have
employed Clyde NJ. Hill of Spring
field, Mo, as supervisor of Junior
high schools Mr.. Hill has had sew
eral years of experience in conduct
ing a Junior high school and has
spent two years in graduate study
specializing on the subject. He is
considered one of the best qualified
men in the country for the supervi-
sion of this line of work Mr.. Hill
will visit each of the schools for a
day or two at the beginning of this
term and will then return for a more
extended visit later. He will visit
the schools in the capacity of an ad-
visor and helper rather than as an
inspector. Those who are competent
to judge say that Vermont is in the
lead in the establishment of junior
high schools and plans for them.
The normal schools will open
Monday, September Is. There is
every indication that the attendance
will be large and each school has in
creased it's teaching staff and the
number of critic teachers in the
training class. At the Johnson Nor
NAL school there is now a critic
teacher in charge of each room in
Tile Trailing SCHOOL.
Teachers Training Schools.
The teachers training schools in
the Montpelier Seminary, Peoples
Academy at Morrisville, the Essex
Junction high school and the Ran
dolph high school report classes with
more than IA students. This en-
titles them to an assistant teacher.
Since the first of July nearly 1000
tif1cated under the new regulations
correspondence and investigation on
the part of the commissioner Office.
The work is now nearly completed
Very few life certificates under the
new plan will be issued this year.
One of the results of the new system
of certification has been a large at
tendance at the various summer
schools. About one-third of the
teachers of Vermont attended at
least three weeks of summer school.
This is a record that has not been
approached by any other state in
the Union. The attendance was not
limited to the institutions of our own
state. There were Vermont teachers
at George Washington University,
Washington, Columbia University,
University of New York, Simmons
College, Harvard University and
Dartmouth College. According to
the new regulation towns will receive
state aid according to the kind of
certificate held by the teachers in
their rural schools, 81 a week being
allowed for the life certificate, SO for
the qualification certificate and So
for the probationary certificate. The

The Discovery.

The two kingdoms now hung on the
fate of two refugees, two castaways.
themselves forlorn and hopeless. Even
as Grahoffen's king and it's leading
man of affairs pondered the absence
of these two, so likewise the kingdom
of Gretzhoffen was concerned in their
absence, in their welfare, in their flu
ture, in their return.
Count Frederick stood on the deck
of the Prinz Adler liner and fronted
the captain of that vessel, who was
severe in his resentment Of the lib
critics he deemed to have been taken
with himself and his ship.
"I tell YOU" said he, II have moth
ing to do with your little war here.

open trade of the open sea. My gov
eminent will demand reparation for

"And l tell you again that there are

with us. You may look for yourself

you take us for pirates-are we be-
yond all responsibilities?
Il do not call you pirates" said
Count Frederick, calmly. Il only call
you dupes. l believe you have been
deceived. You are not in possession
of all the facts. My own men have
told me that these persons were to
be struggled aboard the ship"

CHAPTER LXIIs
Marooned.

Marooned.
The vessel when blown up was we'll
on her way with the favoring winds
which she sought, which in ordinary
course would have carried her out into
the Mediterranean.
How Count Frederick and Roleau
lived they scarcely knew. Happily the
water at that latitude was not cold,
and the day was one of calm.
"Roleau, she has perished!" muir
INJURED Count Frederick. "She is gone.
Let me, too, perish then, for | have
never been able to say that which /
should have said l have had no OPP
portunity to expiate many things
which I have done"
GAS we'll die now as any time," said
Roleau
Wind and wave carried these two
far-they knew not how far, and had
no means of guessing, for they could
not tell how long a time had passed
since the explosion which had sunk
the ship. They knew not which way
to look for land, If land there might
be. 1t was by mere chance that at
one moment, as they flung high on the
crest of the wave, Count Frederick
saw, many hours after the wrecking
Of the ship, something which caused
him to give an exclamation of surprise.
"Roleau," he exclaimed. "There is
land ahead, believed"
"Look!" said Count Frederick at
length. "They are coming out to US. "
Surely enough, even from where
they were they could see dark forms
running here and there, could see the
launching Of a boat, could see it COM
ing on, rising and falling on the waves.
At length the craft came alongside,
manned by strange, swarthy natives,
whose speech they did not know, yet
who seemed friendly enough withal
to serve as rescuers for them. With
small ceremony they were hauled on
board, and the boat, turning, made
way back again to the shore ahead.
"'Tis an island, Roleau," said Fred
erick, after moment spent in exam
ination. mot so large, but excellent
under foot, is it not true? And these
people seem not unfriendly to u.s."
For time they had been lert alone,
but now they saw certain or the ma
tives returning with food and water.
Upon these both the shipwrecked adj
venturers fell with eagerness. Their
captors stood about and grinned in
pleasure. All the wealth Of Count
Frederick, his gold, his castles, his
lands-these things seemed little in
value as compared to what these
swarthy natives brought hira now.

takes clogged. Something's wrong
/ cannot tell what. We have tried to
shut her off and can't. The boiler may
go at any minute"
"Explode?" inquired the captain
calmly.
The engineer could only nod.
"Stay," called Frederick at this
juncture. LET the engineer go back
to his work. Let us first find the help
less persons below. If danger impend
let US bring them up to have their
chance for safety"
The captain, gallant man withal,
turned to him and nodded grimly. Go
back to your post, Miller" he said to
the engineer. 1--WE will join you pres
emily"
He himself led the way to the lift
which led to the lower decks and the
hatchway which covered the ladders
into the ships hold.
They found themselves at last deep
in the bowels of the vessel, among
the bales and casks Of the cargo,
where for time all was darkness and
mystery. But as they hurried here
and there, commanding the guidance
of the two recreant seamen and cast
ing the rays of their lights hither and
yon, at last they saw a trussed-up
bundle behind bale Of goods which
seemed to have some human sem
blance. 1t was Roleau. Frederick
himself was first at his side. He bent
over him, freed him, and after time
revived him.
"Monsieur-your excellency::" said
he at length. "It is you"
where is she?" demanded Freder-
lex. "Was she here?"
II have known nothing for some
time, it seems. Yet she was here, yes
she is gone, l know not where"
Frederick left him to continue his

'We are quite at one as to that"
assented the captain. Good, we will

After a time the officer returned,
pushing before him two seamen. They
were the same who had been dis
patched on the errand mentioned. But
