The heavy snowstorm of Thursday
night caused the breaking down of many
of the wires of the New England Tele-
phone company surrounding this city
The heavy snow broke wire on the
Foster street circuit of the fire alarm
system about 2:l5 O'Clock, causing the
alarm to ring once. Repairs were made
so that at 2:45 the circuit was working
again, which caused another ringing
when the power was thrown on that
circuit. Several teams with sleds draw
ing wood came in town this morning.
| They reported from eight to ten inches
of snow.
| Eight teachers of music gathered at
the State House this morning for con-
| ference relative to the teaching of music
in the Junior high and rural schools of
the state These included: Miss Jessie
Wharton, Montpelier; Miss May Wal
lace, Barre: Mrs. j. W. Votey, Burling-
ton; Miss Edith Ruggles, Barton; Miss
Ella Brownell, st. Johnsbury; Miss Beryl
Harrington, Burlington; Miss Emma FL
lott, johnson, and George Burnham,
Lyndonville. They will lay out a course
of music, not to be taught in the schools,
but for listening period" outside of
the regular teaching OF music as it is
now being done in the high schools and
many of the other grades of school work.
This is for the purpose of giving pupils
an opportunity to hear good music, with
the idea of cultiyating the pupil towards
the better class of music. Folk songs,
patriotic airs, selections from grand
opera, as well as many other high class
selections, are included in the boxes of
music which are sent from time to time
to the different schools on the plan of
circuit resembling that Of the travelling
library. The work, where il has been
tried in the Junior high and rural schools,
has become fixed part of the school
work and good results have been OBJ
tanned in these schools of the state.
Mrs. T. II. Tracy did not long enjoy
the distinction of being the only woman
deputy sheriff in Vermont, for the GER
titication card was made out at Gov. |
n. +, Graham's office Thursday in behalf |
OF Mrs. Ethel S.Tracy of Chelsea, wife |
of George Tracy, jailor in Orange county. |
Mrs. Ethel Tracy was deputized by Sher- |
III A. A. Reed a few days since, follow |
ing the decision of the attorney general
that woman could be deputized in Yer
mont, although there had not been one
until the appointment of Mrs. f. II. |
Tracy of this city took place.
An experiment is being tried out in |
the office of the commissioner of educa-
tion which thus far indicates that a
printing plant on a small scale will /
probably be identified with the office.
Experience has shown that the efficiency
If the department has needed something
If this nature because frequently the
printing plants cannot get out the job
is soon as it is needed for the purpose
so, as a trial, $1,000 printed letterheads,
900 to each union superintendent, 49,
400 sheets of plain paper to the same
officials and $1,000 return" envelopes
re being prepared to be sent to each of
he above named officials. If this shows
saving both as to expense and time
nd better efficiency, it is very likely
hat the printing department will be es-
ablished.
