Red Gross Notes.

WOMEN OF NEW ENGLAND! Our SOL
diers and sailors have fought to make
democracy safe for the world. The ap-
palling and appealing condition of the
civil population in Europe added zest and
irresistible determination to their fighting
qualities. Today these people are with
out clothing and the weather is cold.
| am told that in many of our chapters
it is difficult to obtain women to make
garments which the French and Belgium
people have asked US to give them If
our soldiers were willing to lay down their
lives to aid the civil population, are the
women of New England going to fail in
carrying on the work which these men
have made possible?
The completion of the orders given out
by the New England Division will mean
the saving of many human lives. This
is the last big constructive piece of work
on our war program, and New England
has yet to report any failure in her share
of war work.-James Jackson, Division
Manager.
Our own allotment is far from COM
pleted despite the increased attendance
on certain days. We understand that
whatever reaches Boston by March 1st
stands a far better chance of speedy
shipment, and therefore far better
chance of doing the work of reliec for
which these garments are intended There
is plenty of hard work for those who do
not care to run machines. Everybody
can be kept busy. Give one day week
if you cannot do more.
Astick-pin has been found in theroons,
which will be- restored to its owner upon
Identification.
The Saturday afternoon attendance is
still very small and those who are most
familiar with the fine work done in surgi-
cal dressings are greatly disappointed that
more of those efficient workers have not
transferred their interests and energies
to the sewing department where they are
so much needed. All former surgical
workers who are not helping with the
sewing are urged to give what time they
can to this work.

DR.. JOHN W. HATCH

From recent issue of 'The Phoenix, :"
the Montpelier, VT, Seminary periodical,
we take the following in regard to a
former well known Belfast and Winter
port resident:
CDR. J. w. Hatch came to us five years
ago last spring, from Bangor, Maine,
where he had been district superintendent
in the East Maine Conference. DR.. Hatch
is graduate of Bucksport Seminary, and
of the University of Maine.
Since DR.. Hatch has been principal of
Montpelier Seminary, the school has
made steady advance. BY his untiring
efforts the Seminary has improved,
financially, socially, and educationally.
Through Dr. Hatch's careful manage
ment the school debt has been greatly
decreased, and he has made it possible
for the seminary to continue and prosper.
During the past five years there have
been extensive improvements on all the
buildings They are now in better con-
dition than ever before. The school has
also gained in the confidence of Vermont
people, as it is shown by the liberal way
the people of Vermont subscribed to the
campaign fund last year. The large stu
dent body of this year also suggests this,
since the Seminary never had as large
student body before. DR.. Hatch has also
succeeded in creating more friendly
feeling between people of the city and
the school. During the past five years
the school has improved educationally,
until it is now considered one of the finest
boarding schools in the State. Additional
to the four general departments, this year
we have model rural school, which is
the only one in the State, class in Span
ish, military training, physical training
and arts and crafts. Each of these de-
partments has at it's head specialist in
the work. The Seminary is gaining rank
each year in the educational world.
At the present time the moral standard
at Montpelier Seminary is very high, and
there is a genuine Christian atmosphere
throughout the school. There is a most
friendly feeling between the city churches
and the school, which has not been no.
ticeable before. 1t has been DR.. Hatch's
aim to establish school which is home
to students gathered from widely sep
arated points. In this he has been re-
markably successful, as is shown by our
wonderful school spirit and the love each
of US has for Montpelier Seminary, our
school home, and for DR.. Hatch, our be-
loved principal. We earnestly hope that
he may be able to remain with US for
many years, and continue the wonderful
work which he is now doing"
