considered hardships, being creative,

looked forward to the development Of
have considered their work mere drudg-
cry. If the cXpositions of the efforts
of tho pupils of our school and col
legcs only serve to awaken the thought
that the pupils are not only worth
something to themselves but to others
they are worth many times what they
cost.
Archibald c. IIurd of White River
Junction. director of the exposition to
be held here next fall and secretary of
the Windsor County Y. NJ. G. A., then
gave an account of the cxpositions.
at the very outset the Y. NJ. c. A OF
Windsor county was actuated in the
work by the desire to introduce voca-
tional work into the schools OF that
county but they soon found that they
had state exhibition on their hands.
The third exposition, to be held in
Burlington, will not take the place of
any fair but will serve to bring to the
attention of the citizens, taxpayers,
school directors, teachers, principals,
ETC. what may be accomplished with
this vocational work in the schools.
This vocational work will many times
more than pay for the effort to get it
by giving the youth or maiden in
school an idea of what he or she de-
sircs to follow as work through life.
Stercopticon views brought by Mr..
Hurd showed pictures of the two ex-
positions which have already been
| held.
| Dean j. l.. Hills of the university then
spoke in behalf of the work. Adult
| farmers, he said. are fairly armor or
bomb proof and it is very hard to get
| new ideas into their heads. In order to
| make an impression it is necessary to
get them while young and to he effec-
tive In the work Of agriculture the young
people must be trained There is a
very great difference between the fairs
and the expeditions. The fair is CONNER
cial and entertaining. while the educa-
tional phases of it are minor. At tho
cNpOsitiOns will be found no mid wa "
nor horse racing, but It is all educa-
tional and makes for better citizenship
Through the cxpositons the moldable
type rather than the cast iron type is
being dealt with.
Prof. +. b. jerks Of the university
spoke on the necessity Of getting the
boys started young and gave il as his
opinion that there would be twice as
many schools represented at the coming
exposition because the teachers have
visited the other aXpositons and are IN
terested in the work. Il. +. Mech Of
White River Junction, who was at the
head of the financing committee of the
Windsor county exposition, and A. c.
Mason, former secretary of the Rutland
Business Mems association, and who
took an active part In Rutland's expo
sition, also spoke in behalf of the work.
