SHOW PAXS0N PICTURE
N GREAT EXHIBITION
Missoula Artist Has Painting
in St. Paul Gallery,
Opening Tocay.
"WATCHFUL WAlTING'
Alert Patience of Indian Is
Subject Of Remarkably
Fine Work.
"WATCHFUL WAlTlNG'

'Watchful Waiting" an Indian pic
ture symbolic of the alert patience and
perseverance of the red man, the work
of Colonel f. S. Paxson, is to be shown
at the third annual exhibition of the
work of artists of the northwest
which opens in the Auditorium in ST.
Paul today. The exhibition is pre-
sented under the auspices of the ST.
Paul institute, popularity known as
THE Peoples University" The exhi-
bition will last until March n.
"Watchful Waiting" is said to be one
of the best pictures ever resulting
from the brush of Colonel Paxson.
The two previous northwestern ar
lists exhibitions have met with great
success. Besides encouraging artistic
talent, these exhibitions help to foster
on the part of the public greater
appreciation of art in this section OF
the country, and a demand for the
| work of northwestern artists.
Medals for Winners.
Earlier this year the st. Paul insti-
tute sent out invitations to all artists
in Minnesota, Wisconsin,, Iowa, Ne
braska. North and South Dakota and
Montana to submit works in OIL pastel,
| water color, sculpture and etching.
Two years ago the institute adopted
permanent and uniform design for the
medals to be awarded for works of
| merit shown in the annual exhibitions.
This medal has the distinction of being
the work of Paul Manship. one of the
foremost American sculptors of to-
day. Mr.. Manship's design is the gift
of the late James =. Hill to the st.
Paul institute. One gold, one silver
and one bronze medal will also be
tercolor and pastel, sculpture and
etching.
To Purchase Pictures.
| The selection of exhibits and max
ing of awards is to be committed to
a competent jury of two or more ar
lists who are not residents of the
northwestern states. The st. Paul in
stitnte pledges itself to purchase at
least one picture from the exhibition
| for it's permanent art gallery. In pre-
vious years several pictures have been
purchased from the proceeds OF pop
lular voting contests. Arrangements
are being made whereby the entire ex-
Mbition will be presented later in the
spring in three other northwestern
cities.

Saving Coupons.

Saving Coupons.
With a knowledge of the few SIM
plest rules of arithmetic, such as four
and six are ten, the average person
can spend a pleasant lifetime saving
coupons. Many persons starting in a
modest way and saving UP for an egg
cup are inspired to greater ambition
and start saving up for an egg. There
is something noble about the way
some people save coupons. A Wiscon-
sin man saved coupons ten years to
get a pair of military brushes and
when he finally had enough he hap
pened to realize that he had grown
bald in the meantime. He died in 4
convulsion of grief. Fortunately his
wife was able to add her coupons to
his and get a casket. So the coupons
were not wasted after all. Equally
fortunate was the st. Louis man whose
baby ate ten Of his coupons. He didn't
have enough left to get a stomach
pump for the baby, so he got shot
gun for it instead.

$500, 900 CAMPAIGN
BEGUN FOR OLD MIDI
President Thomas Gets Initial
Support From Students
They euy$I, 700 Liberty Bond and
Turn IL over to their Colleas

President Thomas has launched cam
paign to raise 5000, 900 to make good
/ the anonymous offer Of 800, 900 which
was made to Middlebury College last
Commencement provided this initial
sum should be increased by other con-
trlbutions to make total of $500, 600
for the enlargement Of the College En-
dOwment Fund.
The fact that the fund must be en-
tirely raised before July !, 1918 gives
President Thomas no chance in the
matter Of delaying the work on account
of war burdens, and in fact he has made
plain in the first appeal to the alumni
of the College that it is the very bur-
den of the war which makes the raising
OF the fund all the more necessary. In
his letter, which was posted last week
to all of the alumni, he depict as SER
i0us the situation which the Middlebury
College faces largely on account of the
war.
Over 100 students have dropped out
of the College meaning loss of over
q per cent of the student body; and
the end is not yet as men are being
called from day to day to report either
for army or navy service. As one-third
of the College income is from students,
it is only by the addition to the endow-
ment that the institution can be kept
out of deficit and debt
1t is the same situation that may be
faced by other colleges, but more par
ticularly by NJ iddlebury, since the en-
dowment fund here is almost insignif-
cant as compared with that of Amherst,
Williams, Wesleyan and Bowdoin, with
which Middlebury should at least keep
in pace if she desires to hold her place
as one of the strong colleges of New
England.
DR.. Thomas, as the first step in his
campaign, appealed directly to the un-
dergraduates to combine patriotism
with service for the College He pro-
osed that the students should raise
81 900 to buy Liberty Loan Bond and
present it to their Alma Mater as part
of the new endowment fund, The stu
dents we've asked to pledge at least
$3.50, and were urged to give more
where circumstances permitted. The
result was that within week the
contribution from the undergraduates
alone amounted to 81 ,00l. &c. with which
fund a Bond was bought and presented
to the College
Of this sum $1,000 was contributed
BY tie men, and $5l9. 80 by the women.
The members of the Faculty likewise
rose IN loyal support by subscribing lib
orally to the endowment fund. The
whole sum thus far raised toward the
$500, 600 is $ll9, 80 as indicated in Pres
dent Thomas letter which is published
in facsimile on the second page of The
Register, indicating plainly the real
necessity which the College faces in
war time.

CHARTER DAY AT THE COLLEGE
Governor Graham and the Hon.
Frank C. Partridge are Speakers.

The annual celebration of Charter Day
at Middlebury College was held in con-
nection with the Chapel exercises yes
terday morning when Governor Horace
F. Graham and the Hon. Frank G. Par,
fridge addressed the students and hun
dred OF, more visitors, including alumni
and townspeople.
Governor Graham spoke briefly en-
phasizing the need of liberalism in edu-
cation and impressing the responsibility
which rests upon the young men and
women who left our colleges during the
next few years, for they would help
shape the destinies of our country during
the reconstruction period. He urged
them to study closely the course of the
present struggle that they should know
best how to take an active part in the
final shaping of the outcome.
Mr.. Partridge, president of the Ver-
mont Marble Company, trustee of the
College, and former U. S. Minister to
Venezuela delivered the principal ad-
dress of the'day on "The Future of In
ternational Law. He dealt clearly
with the course of events which have
moved the world to 80 ardently desire
an international governing force, and
he held out the highest hopes that the
dreams of the past would be realized
soon after the present conflict,
The Register will present further
report of his interesting address another
week.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
GETS IT'S NEW HEAD
Massachusetts Man, c, W. Wilson,
to Succeed Mr., BarSS
impressive Farewell Given to Re =
tirina Superintendent Who
Has New Post in Canada

Director Of State Institutions John
b. Weeks has announced the appOint.
ment of Charles W. Wilson as the new
superintendent of the State Industrial
School at Vergennes, a post made
vacant by the recent resignation of
Superintendent j, N, Barss after ten
years service.
Mr.. Barss left Vergennes last Mon.
day for Shawbridge, Que, where he
takes up his new work in the boys
farm and training school. Mr.. Wilson
will arrive in Vergennes next Monday
to assume at once the new post
Director Weeks is satisfied that he
has found the right man as Mr.. Barss'
successor, Mr.. Wilson having had IA
years experience in similar work. When
only 20 years of age he became identi.
fed with the Lyman School for Boys at
Westboro, Mass, and has been con-
nected with that institution ever since,
having been head of the educational,
musical and athletic work there, and
holding other positions of trust The
Lyman school is one where modern re-
formatory methods have been practiced
IN dealing with about 800 boys and Mr..
Wilson'S position there has been of
such standing that he comes highly
recommended in all quarters as a man
of large executive ability, compelling
personality and as possessed of the
practical Christian spirit.
Director Weeks will 90 to YER
gennes next week to formally install
the new superintendent, who comes to
Vermont with wife and two small
children. Mr., Weeks will remain at
the institution for some time to help
Mr.. Wilson in his first work.
The chapel of the Industrial School
last Sunday evening was the scene of
an impressive service marking the close
Of Mr. Barss longIconnection with the
school, The Rev. DR.. Dawson of Bur.
hngton, a close friend of Mr.. Barss
conducted the service, which was a
complete surprise to Mr.. Barss. He
was almost overwhelmed by the ex-
pressions of love and appreciation from
not alone the officers and children of the
school but also from town friends at
tending the service.

Stckney OF Rutland were speaking
guests, with NJ. f. Barnes of Chimney

Fish and Game Commissioner Leavens
was on the program but teegraphed
his regret at being unable to be present
owing to illness.
Everyone talked sports; but the war
overshadowed them. Governor Graham
boasted of three of the finest trout
streams in the state up in his county,
and spoke in justification of his appoint
ment of business man rather than a
pure fisherman as the State Fish and
Game Commissioner.
But the Governors mind, since the
early days of April, he said, had been
wrapped up in the war and regarding
himself in rather intimate company with
no spies present, he disclosed some of the
stirring phases of the war and prepara-
ratlons for it as he had seen them and
heard OF them in recent trips to New
York and Washington
Nothing he had heard or seen, said he,
had tended to minimize the seriousness
of our immediate future. The war was
on in earnest, a fact that would be
brought home to Vermont sooner than
we realized for our boys were to be
among the first TO get into action. He
told OF some of the movements of troops,
which The Register, bound by voluntary
censorship in the interests of our boys,
feels unauthorized to.publlsh. 1t is per-
mi~abe to say that on recent trip to
New York the Governor had the inspir-
alton Of watching two great transports
back out of their berths on the Hudson
River and move out to sea crowded by
boys in khaki.
"lf you could see some of the things
and hear some of the things that have
been my burden, said he, you would
realize that the time has come for all of
us to put our shoulder to the wheel for
these United States. There is no half
way matter about it-no going fifty
fifty as the sportsmen say-t is ques-
tion of each and all of US doing what we
ought to do down to the humblest citi-
zen"
