State Food Administrator Makes Sit
uation Plain in Address

For the first time, Addison County
got its instructions on food regulations
direct from the State Food Admins.
traitor at an all-day conference at the
Middlebury High School building last
Monday when Frank II, Brooks and
James 7, Taylor Chairman and Direc-
tor OF the State conservation program,
stressed with great vigor the absolute
necessity OF more rigid application of
the federal food regulations,
AT the call of County Food Admins.
traitor John A Fletcher, most of the
local food chairmen in the various
towns in the County responded, to-
gether with a number of other interest
ed persons, all OF whom sat for many
hours at the school desks and, like ear.
nest pupils, took deeply to heart the
messages which the state representa-
tives brought from Washington.
The chief object of the conference was
to put steam into the wheatless cam
paign, as Mr. Hoover declares it will
be necessary for a vast army of persons
to abstain entirely from the use of
wheat products until the next harvest
if America is to keep her pledge to her
allies
"Mr, Hoover" said Mr.. Taylor, "has
looked forward to this particular per
iod with great dread, and he declares
that the present need of strict economy
is imperative" "There is no man." adj
ded Mr.. Taylor, "whose word impera-
tive means more than Mr. Hoovers."
The proposed pledge for total alb
stlnence from wheat is not a household
pledge, but an individual pledge and if
II seems extreme or heroic, "et us thank
Cod said Mr. Taylor, that there is
something heroic that we can do toward
winning this war"
Both Mr. Taylor and Mr.. Brooks
explained the rules in regard to hotels,
which will be penalzed if they serve
bread or crackers to any guest not
specifically ordering such food. He
urged that every person act as a guard
ian OF the law and see that the rule is
wherever they dine.
Mr.. Brooks declared it would be ne
cessary for the law to show its teeth un-
less the voluntary response made good.

that democracy cannot make good. We

SUMMER SESSION
TO Be CROWDED
Director Mcfarland Has to
Reject Many
There Will Be An Italian School For
This Year For FIRST Time

While President Thomas is bending
every effort to secure funds to keep the
college on running basis during the
period of the war, the Director of the
Summer Session, Prof, Raymond Nc
Farland, is rejecting college graduates
and other good students from the Sum-
mer Session because of too great pros
perity, For more than three weeks
there has been a waiting list in some of
the departments and the prospects are
that the halls OF the college will be
crowded to capacity this summer All
of the available rooms in Hepburn Hall,
Battell Hillside, Halpin and Twitchell
cottages have been reserved, with the
expectation that Pearsons Hall will be
filled before the date of the opening of
the session, July Sth,
The teaching staff, which consists of
p members, has been selected with un-
usual care; this is the largest faculty
ever attached to the Summer Session
Of the College There will be five in
structors in French, with Professor
Williamson de Nisme heading the de.
partment, assisted by Dr. c. d. de la
Jarrie, who was head of the French De-
partment last year The Spanish De-
partment, which will have the largest
enrolment of any, has an instructing
staif Of nine members, with Stnor Jul
ian Moreno-Lacalle of the United States
Naval Academy at the head of the de-
partment, as last year,
The Summer Session has been fortu-
nate in securing for the head of the Ital-
ian Department Dr. Amy A. Bernardy,
representative of the Italian Govern
ment in the United States. DR.. Ber-
nardy was secured through the Ital-
ian Ambassador at Washington and
doubtless will be called upon to give a
patriotic address during her stay in
Vermont she will be accompanied by
hoe "1Crotprv.
Among the members of the college
faculty who will give courses this sum
mer are; Professors Davis, Mcfarland,
Cady, and Lawrence
The success which the Middlebury
summer Session has had recently has
)een due in no small degree to its
method of teaching Modern Language.
According to an article in the Journal
If the New England Modern Language
Teachers, the Middlebury Method is
eing copied by institutions like Cornell,
Columbia, and Dartmouth, The pro-
'ision of separate houses for the several
departments and requirement that stu
lents use only the language of their de-
'artment while in Mddlebury, as well |
IS the employment of only native edu-
ators, is the basis of Middleburys par
icular success in this line of work.

Iarris Shaw of Boston will return to

NO "DEUTSCH" AT
OUR HIGH SCHOOL
Prudential Committee Throws 1t Over
board

In accordance with the recommended
tion of Principal A. S. Hartman, the
Prudential Committee voted at its
meeting Tuesday night to drop the
study of German from the courses at
the Middlebury High School Mr.. Har-
riman's remarks on the situation, as
contained in his annual report, are as
follows:
"For the last three years only one stu
dent has made a request for instruction
in German. | recommend that the
course in German be dropped from our
curriculum, and that course in Span
ish be substituted. AS Middlebury col
lege has been giving instruction in
Spanish for three years or more | have
no doubt that an instructor in that
language can be obtained. The need
of knowledge of Spanish is a growing
one, and as our relations with South
American countries become closer and
more extended our young people will
find that knowledge of Spanish is inn
portant for all'who enter business life.
The signs of the times point to a less
extensive use of the German language
after the close of the war"

morrow evening, the principal business
Will be the election of a school board,
on which woman candidate seeks
place this year, and decision as to the
amount of tax for the ensuing year.
Auditor c. c. Wells reports that a tax
OF at least 100 cents will be necessary
to meet the budget for the coming year,
and he suggests that beginning should
be made toward a sinking fund to IL
quidate within the next 30 years the
$4,000 Indebtedness of the district He
figures that an additional tax of three
cents, calculated on this years grand
list, would net $64l.SS a year, and that
at compound interest that yearly sum
would retire the debt in 80 years.
"lf your auditor could have his way"
he adds, "he would ask for at least an
other two cents added (making a total
of Sl05), the proceeds to be devoted to
properly grading and improving the
grounds around the school buildings"
The Prudential Committee reports as
lOllOWS.
'iiealizing ,hat II might DC iucon-
venient to obtain coal for the coming
winter your committee purchased, and
now has on hand coal amounting to
SSl407. For the same reason supplies
amounting to Spool for use in the
graded schools this coming year were
purchased Had said coal and supplies
not been ordered, the total expenses for
the running of the schools this year
would have been S52S65 less than last
year, In order to retain our efficient
corps of teachers, it was necessary to
increase their salaries to a total mount
of Sl15000 The course in elocution
having been discovered for the COM
ing year will save the district $4,000.
Deducting that from the $l15000,
leaves the net increase in salaries at

are undergoing training for Red Cross
service.
1t is said that about 1000 applica-

sired to enroll for the training, but only
one i'll four was picked, the desire being
to confine the course strictly to girls

ARE FARMERS
DOWN HEARTED?
No-With Fighting Spirit They Rush
To Replant

Returns which County Agent I. N,
Bartlett has gathered as to the frost
damage in Addison County last week
indicate that the killing was one of the
most severe ones ever known in many
sections, and sufficient, it would seem,
to utterly discourage farmers in some
places who lost not only acres of beans,
but corn as well. The little mountain
towns of Granville and Hancock, which
Mr.. Bartlett visited this week, were
hit the hardest. There the county ag-
ent saw corn frozen fiat to the ground,
beans entirely killed, and potatoes al
most ruined. Middlebury, Cornwall
Whiting and Weybridge suffered con-
siderable losses also, but Shoreham and
Orwell and other lake shore towns were
more fortunate, as the lake dampness
helps to minimize the effects of frost,
Wherever the crops were hit, the far
mers have shown a splendid fighting
spirit, says Bartlett, and most of them
have been hustling night and day to re-
plant.
