This year the teachers of Vermont

enthusiastic groups at the colleges
and normal schools of the state. The
sacredness of the calling and the re-
sponsibility of the work were depict
ed in the faces of the eager classes
intent upon growth-intent upon
teaching the cultured statue that So
cial efficiency demands. The teachers

wHEELoCK BOY MADE GOOD.
Work of Burton A. Porter As Parole
Agent In Idaho.


Editor Of The Caledonian:
As 1 learned recently that Burton
A. Porter lis at his horne in Wheelock-
VT, and know and have read some
thing of his work in the West, l am
sending you this article, as I believe
It will prove interesting to many YER
mont readers of your paper. In
recent issue OF the Pocotello Chron-
fcIe, PocoteIlo, Idaho. they term Mr..
Porter as the Vermont boy who made
good in Idaho, as state parole agent
For the past two years he has had
charge of the parole work for the st.
Anthony Industrial School, st. An.
thony. Idaho. This being govern
ment reformatory, Mr.. Porter has had
much to do with the government pa
roles of Juvenile breakers and has
had the handling of all the state pa.
roles for Idaho, his success in this
work has been due largely to his re-
markable patience and perseverance
He has taken boys who have lived il
the worst environment and who have
grown up in idleness and crime ano
after a year or more at the Industrial
School has placed them in position:
where they are making good men
and are credit to the communitS
in which they reside.
Mr.. Porter safes that $3.50 of his
boys on parole make good. This S
1 believe. somewhat higher than other
schools of this kind. j knew Bur
Porter in 19O9-10 in Boston as cap.
tain Of the Crescent A. Club track
team, and would say that believe his
success is due to the firm but kindly
way he deals with his fellow-men
Surely Vermont wishes him success in
this great work

VERMONT POsTMASTERS FINED
One Used Small Amount of u. $
Funds In His business

Funds In His business.
Rutland Oct. 6.-During the noon
recess of the United States district
court yesterday Judge Harland
Howe Of ST. Johnsbury disposed OIL
three criminal cases in which the re-
spondents were ready to plead guilty
A. j. Hubbard of Tyson was fined $50
for opening a letter not addressed 70
him, and Sylvester Smith, postmaster
at Hubbardton, was fined $50 and L
H. Spaulding, Bridgewater, postmas.
ter, was taxed $25 for technical en-
bezzlement of postoffice funds.
The offense against the postmas.
ters was misplacing postoffice money
In one case the respondent used a
small amount temporarily as mat
ter of convenience in his mercantile
business, when he possessed an am
pie amount to make the sum taken
good, and in the other the accused
merely placed the money in tn
wrong receptacle. The shortage was
very small in Mr.. Smiths case and
there was none in the case of the
Bridgewater man. Judge Howe ex-
pressed the opinion that there should
not be a law making such a technical
offense punishable by fine.
