"Civilization" Saturday Afternoon.

The greatest moving picture ever
produced, Thomas Ince's "Civiliza-
tion," will be given at the Gem the
tire Saturday afternoon. The man.
agement has been to great expense
to have this wonderful film here.
Every past accomplishment of the
motion picture makers has been out
done in the making of this gigantic
spectacle, and to so far purpose that
a new mark has been set that will
prove an elusive goal for long to
come "Civilization" is the costliest
spectacle ever filmed, Thomas H. Ince
having spent over $1,OOO,OOO in the
work More than 100000 people were
employed in the scenes, many for
long periods of time. Cities are built
only later to be destroyed.
In all the great cities where "Civll-
ization" has been shown it was re-
ceived with such unanimous acclaim
that reams of encomiums have been
printed in praise of it, while the cap
acity of the theatres has been taxed
at every performance. Newspaper
reviewers compared it to David Grif-
fith's Birth of a Nation" in terms
that placed "Civilization" on higher
plane. The New York Star declared
that "Thomas Ince out-Griffiths Grit
fth," while the New York Globe stat
ed that "Civilization outdoes "Birth
of a Nation" This from the learned
reviewers of the press means much
more than anything else could imply.

Garfield Called to New Field.

The following clipping was taken
from a Claremont, N. H., paper and
will be of interest to local readers
Mrs. Garfield was the daughter of the
late o. D. Owen.
Rev. J. P Garfield, who has been
pastor of the local congregational
church for the pastsix years, rendered
his resignation, which will probably
take effect some time in February.
The Rochester Courier says.
"Although Mr.. Garfield has
preached here but once, the church and
society are enthusiastic over his ac-
ceptance. He has been most success
full in his work in other places and it
has been felt that, if he could be in
duced to come here, it would be a
great thing for this church. The
committee of seven to whom the mat
ter of securing a pastor was left for
recommendations, were unanimous in
recommending Mr.. Garfield, from
what they had learned of him and his
to see if it were possible to secure
him, with the outcome as stated. His
salary has been been fixed at $1,000
yearly and the fine parsonage, besides
moving expenses and the construction
of a garage the coming summer This
is the largest salary this church has
ever paid. Mr.. Garfield has been en-
inently successful in his work in
Claremont, and his parishioners will
very much dislike to lose him. Out
side of his church he has also been ac-
tive in all good ways and the family
has been distinct asset to the COM
munity which it will lose with deep
regret. The Congregational church
in Rochester is the largest church
there, and the field is an inviting one
for a man of Mr.. Garfield's energy
and progressivenes."

Local service on the airline train
both north and south has been dis
continued to the great inconvenience
of many people. The Monitor is par
ticularly affected as many local let
ters from towns in the north of the
county and the copy from advertisers
in Orleans and Newport is delayed
several hours, which means more than
can be realized on the first three
days of the week. Correspondents,
advertisers and others who have used
this train for their mail will please
get their mail to us in an earlier mail
instead of later mails whenever possi-
BILE, as the service this office can rem
der will be much greater. In fact,
we cannot guarantee to handle mat
ter reaching us on later trains than
usual.

B. A. NOTES

DR.. J. M. Blake is inspecting the
eyes, ears, nose and throat of the pu
pills in accordance with requirement
from the state board.
The grammar school pupils visited
ST. Johnsbury Friday. The ST. Johns
bury Republican says, "Thirty pupils
of the Barton schools accompanied by
their teachers took a sightseeing
trip around ST. Johnsbury Friday.
They came down on the noon train,
visited the Fairbanks museum, where
capacious lunch boxes were emptied,
visited the athenaeum and other pla-
ces of interest. At Fairbanks shops
a guide was provided to show them
over the various departments and
along the line"
Behavior at B. A. is always good,
We study hard as all students should,
Attention in class is undivided,
Debates and arguments are never
one-sided.
Recitations are clear, though the
language is rough,
And sometimes we put up an innocent
bluff.
Hardness is thought to be a disgrace,
Yet many are late who live on the
place.
Obedience is prompt to most every
rule,
Considering the scholars, it's a very
good school,
Nobody is left out of friendships and
fun,
And we all shall be sad when our
schooldays are done.

THE FRESHMAN CLASS ORGAN
IZED

The freshmen voted at one of their
last meetings, to have room 25 on
the second floor, better known as the
Emusic room," as their room in which
they could hold their meetings with
out being disturbed by other classes.
At present it is the plan of this class
to get banners of their class colors,
decorate this room and call it "home."
We also intend that possessing a
room like this shall bind us into a
class, part of B. A. but separate
part of the school. 1t is believed that
a move of this kind will create inter-
est in the class and keep us in prepar-
edness for any proposition which may
be put up against us. A. R. w. Jr.
For some time the boys of B. A.
have been making plans to attend the
annual conference of the Older Boys
of Vermont, to be held at Burlington
January II, 13 and IA. 1t seemed
necessary to raise money to defray
part of the expenses and the boys de-
means. Tuesday evening was the date
for this. The tickets for the show
were distributed among the scholars
of the high school and reward of a
haf-holiday was offered to the class
selling the largest number. Natural
ly, everyone hustled during the few
days before the night of the show.
Consequently, the theatre was never
better filled. The junior class won
the contest and the half holiday. Net
receipts for the evening were about
$53, above all expenses. Donations
raised this to S65
