URGE HIGHER SALARIES
FOR TEACHERS
Continued from page u


which we are justly proud. With
deep interest, therefore, do we follow
the changing plans of our state in
this respect, trusting that with the
passing of the present normal schools
there shall come a new arrangement
with greater facilities and Offering
enlarged opportunities which shall
fttingly represent Vermont's high
estimate of the value of teacher
training.
We believe in the establishment of
National department of education
which shall administer all Federal
agencies relating to education, and
Whereas
We believe in the encouragement
of education through Federal appro-
priation, and
Whereas
We believe in the National i'm
portance of the removal of illitcracy,
the Americanization of immigrants,
the equalization of educational OPP
portunity, the promotion of physical
welfare and increased salaries for
teachers, the adequate preparation of
teachers for service, therefore
We urge the support and passage
of the Smith Towner bill now before
Congress to create a department of
education, to authorize appropria-
tions for the conduct of said depart
ment, and to authorize the appropria-
ton of money to encourage the
states in the prmotion and support
of education, right of the individual
states in the promotion and support
minister the educational facilities en-
couraged by the provisions of the
bill.
To US as superintendent there has
come anew the realization of the i'm
portance of our work through the
helpful and painstaking services of
our Commissioner of Education. We
therefore extend to Commissioners
Hillegas our hearty appreciation of
his efforts in preparing the subject
matter of the conference and of the
considerate way in which he has pre-
scented the same, with the confident
hope and expectation that the teach
ers and children of Vermont shall
profit by cur sojourn at Randolph
Center.

AUTO INNOVATION
Stanley Furniture Company Buy
Beautiful Motor Car Designed
for MANY Uses

Beautiful Motor Car Designed
for Many Uses
st. Johnsbury has won the distinc'
ton of having the first large automo'
bile which can be used for parties
weddings, an ambulance and for fun
eral service and at the same time be
equally appropriate for every occas-
ion. This innovation is introduced tc
Northeastern Vermont by the Stan
ley Furniture Company.
M. M. Tatro, of Chicago, the well
known head of this Organization, is
responsible for securing this modern
convenience for this section. 1t is
manufactured by the Velie Motor Co
and is the only vehicle of its kind
east of Philadelphia. 1t is very ex-
tensively used on the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Tatro and Albert S. Juneau,
local head of the Stanley firm, stop
ped at the Evening Caledonian office
yesterday and gave the editor the
pleasure of a ride in this new vehi-
Gle. The car is upholstered in Italian
leather of light gray. Its tlttlngs
are of the most costly material.
The drivers seat is separated from
the main body of the car but is con-
nected by speaking tube. When in
use for wedding parties, for touring
etc, the car is a magnificent limous-
inc with large wide seat at the back
for three persons.
The car can be instantly transform
ed into an ambulance by lowering a
shade on the side with rod across
in its center; by folding the side seats
and closing the back seat which al
lows a door the full size of the back
of the car for the use Of stretcher.
If one is convalescent and does not
care for car carrying the symbol
of an ambulance they have but to
use the car as a limousine
In case of death of little child
where but few persons may be called
upon to attend the funeral there IS
stand at the front of the car upon
which the tiny casket can be placed
and at the same time mourners can
occupy the main part of the car
As a hearse the car is magnificent
in its fittings.
Mr.. Tatro is enthusiastic over the
new car. He said, 81 feel sure this
new car will meet long felt want
here. So expensive a car could not
be bought for use only for one thing
Its utility makes its cost possible to
a community of this size. l had d
hard time getting this car. They are
bought up months ahead and 1t was
only by rare good luck that secured
this for our Vermont business"
Mr.. Juneau said, "The car exceeds
my greatest expectations. 1t IS a
wonderful vehicle as every one VINO
had enjoyed a ride in it will say. 1t
has a wonderful motor and It's use
FOR this territory | am sure Will meet
be greatly appreciated by the pub
lic."

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST II, 1919
Take a Day Off

The last holiday of the summer
season comes next Monday and a
movement has been started by the
Commercial Club to give everybody
a chance to take a day off and enjoy
the outdoor life. Petitions are being
circulated throughout the business
section asking all merchants to close
their stores on Labor Day and so far
as we have been able to ascertain
the papers are being generally
signed.
The management of our larges
corporation have again arranged for
a field day for the scale employees
and their families, and in recognition
of the spirit that prompted them to
close at a busy time their big factory
that all might take a days vacation,
the Commercial Club decided that
they would try and get the rest of
the community to cooperate with
them.
Let's all drop our work next Mon
day, as far as we can, and get out
doors while we can. There's long
winter coming and the holidays that
come with it have to be spent around
gas stoves and radiators. Take a day
off Monday.
