Iforold tells the story as follows:
Edward p. MeCraw, for some years
superintendent of water works in this
ciiv. and one of the best known and
noHnlor citizens, covered himself with
plarv in Fitchburg yesterday, saving
tbo ifc of drowning bly,, while
scores of people looked on as the

~ what was apparently certain death.
u'Wr' MeCraw is in Fitchburg for

vbar a cry of horror went up from a
number of people some little distance
away Looking, the North Adams man
saw n Young lad struggling in the
yoter,i He was being carried by the
swift current toward dam some dis
lance below, and Mr.. McCraw as well
as Others saw tnau II ne once went
over the high dam chances of saving
his life would be few.
UeSeeing that those nearer the boy
would make no attempt to save him
from the cold and treacherous water,
Mr.. McCraw dropped his tools, and
started on a run toward where the boy
must mass. He discarded a portion of
His clothing as he ran, but was unable
to get off Il great deal, for quick ac.
ton was necessary.
"tPhnging over 20foot cmbank-
ment Mr.. McCraw struck the water
lust below the youngster, who by this
time was unable to help himself in any
wav. and swimming out to him he was
able TO qrasp him by the hair as he
shot mast. 1t was a terrific struggle
to pui the bow to land because of the
current, but the brave North Adams
man finally reached a point where as
sistance could be given him, and the
two were pulled ashore. 1t was a mar

lON MOL I'm -, NluN
A recent newspaper article deplorcd
the scarcity of school teachers. In
this connection attention is called to
the good work which is being done in
the teacher training department of
Leland and Gray seminary to aid in
meeting this need. Although this de-
partment has been organized only
three years it has proved its worth to
the seminary by bringing in new pu-
pills and to the students by the prac-
tical training in teaching work which
in most cases would not have been re
ccived in any other way. Many of
the students who enter this class for
their fourth year work would not have
undertaken the additional expense of
a course in some distant normal school
after their graduation here. Tho
course of study is outlined by the
state board, and the teachers are Sc
lectcd and receive their remuneration
entirely from the state also.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1916-05-05

This year the class is fortunate in
having as an instructor Miss Marion
Graves of New York university, who
has had years of experience and is an
expert in school methods and manage
ment.
For the past two years every stu
dent who has graduated from this
class has been quickly engaged as
a teacher, in each case giving excellent
satisfaction.
The students are given practical
work throughout the year by taking
charge of the classes in the village
graded school at certain times. Ma
ture study, story telling and picture
study are taught, as well as the rcgu-
lar text book work. The present
training class numbers 10 girls, two
Of whom already have had several
