The customary musical recitals will

Miss Sarah 7, Palmer will return
this coming year to continue the
teacher training work. No ambitious
student OF this section of Vermont
who aims to enter the teaching pro-
fession and who can qualify TO join
the class, should fail to avail herself
Of the unusual opportunity afforded
by such efficient training as Miss
Palmer provides. Miss Palmer is an
expert in her department, has held i'm
portant positions in five different
states, has trained hundreds of sue
cessful teachers. This course is open
to all seniors and graduates of this or
other high schools of the State; also
to those who have taught in the public
schools who might, by availing them
selves of this course, qualify them
selves for better positions. There
was never a greater demand than to-
day for trained men and women in our
public schools. The educational field
offers a splendid challenge to those of
our young people who are properly
qualified to enlist in this truly patri-
otic army Of educators of the hosts of
future American citizens. Any pros
pective members of Miss Palmer's
class, not already enrolled, should
write at once to Prin. James Brooks,
South Dorset, VT, and make arrange
ments for taking the course in ques-
ton
The athletic, social and religious
phases Of the school life will all re-
eeive their due attention and increased
activity along all these lines is antici-
pated in response to the new spirit
Of the new age. In the Y. NJ. c. A.
and the Y. w. C. A. we look forward
to more earnest spirit of endeavor
even, than prevailed last year, and
trust they will set the standard and
pace in the educational life and spirit
Of the school in the year to come as
never before. Such is the challenge
of the serious and earnest spirit of the
hour.

ested in its welfare will continue to
