Clyde Reynolds was elected moderator
and City Clerk Mackay acted as clerk.
John S. Mcdonald moved that the city

stated that there is great need for econ

he hoped the program of old time pay

voted The motion prevailed and Mr..

was one which he had opened, the granite
vein being a continuation of the stock in
the old Wheaton quarry and being loeat-
ed Just at the foot of Cobble hill The
stoneshed, too, was one which Mr..
Wheaton had erected Ia years ago and
which he used for a time for cutting
stone, a business he discontinue after a
fatality to one of the workmen. The
Honey brook glen is very picturesque
place, Mr.. Wheaton added, being wild
and filled with natures beauty besides
having certain rocky grandeur due to
the presence of great granite boulders.
There are number of little waterfalls,
and Mr.. Wheaton has seen the trout
jumping nip these waterfalls in years
gone by; and, in fact, Honey brook was
favorite fishing place several decades
ago.

NORMAL SCHOOLS
ARE ENDANGERED
House Rejected Bill Providing for the
Continuance of Them, the Vote Be-
ing los to 66--There Was
Sarcastic Debate Over
the Measure

In the face of bitter and violent at
tack on the commissioner and the state
board of education, the Vermont House
yesterday afternoon rejected H. 800, pro-
viding for the continuance of the normal
schools in Castleton and Johnson, by a
vote of l05 to &C. Mr.. Tracy of Johnson
defended the bill in two Characteristic
speeches, in which he declared that if
the legislature had chance it would
abolish the state board of education,
which had raised standards so high that
the poor girl iii the calico dress" could
not be admitted to the normal schools.
This was after Mr.. Austin of Reading
had submitted figures showing that the
number of pupils at the johnson school
was l20 in 1915, 1916, "a in 1917 and %
in 1918 and that the expense of gradual
ing pupils in 1918 was $l,73l per pupil
at johnson and $579 per pupil at Castle
ton.
1.-The policy of the state board of edu-
cation" said the gentleman from John
son, SIS driving our girls into mills and
factories because they can't get into our
normal schools and be trained as teach
ers. This is rural state and your girls
and mine don't want to go to Burlington
and Rutland for their training. They
won't walk the streets in their calico
dresses.

MEXICO MORE TOLERANT
OF FOREIGN CAPITAL
II Is Believed in Washington That Mex
ican People Are More Kindly Dis
posed to American interests.

Washington, d. c., April 4.-Private
and official advices from Mexico City
within the last few days were inter
preted as clearly indicating sudden
change in sentiment in the republic to-
ward foreign investments in Mexico. and
that the coming session of Congress will
clear the atmosphere of much OF the
hostility shown since the adoption of the
1917 constitution.
The American oil interests in Mexi-
co, it was learned, have not reached from
the stand originally taken that their
vested rights in Mexico must be rec
ognized and that the anti i-foreign and
confi*catory features of the new consti-
tuition must not operate, ex-post facto,
against them Nor have they shown any
inclination to waive the rights in prop
erty which were purchased under the ex-
isting laws Of Mexico, but which were
jeopardized by the new constitution. The
American, British and French govern
ments have protested to the Mexican
government against the operation of GER
tain parts of the constitution which were
termed "coniscatory."
From recent adyices it appears the
new attitude of the Mexican people, and
it is believed in official circles that this
attitude is inspired by the government,
is to recognize the rights Of all people,
including foreigners, to their vested
rights under International law. The re-
cent visit of Rafael Nieto, acting minis
ter Of finance in the Mexican govern
ment, to New York, where he consulted
with international bankers regarding the
prospect of loan to Mexico. and the
correspondence which has taken place
between former Minister of Finance Lii
mantour and President Carrsnza, which
resulted in the latter extending an in
vitation to President Diaz' experienced
financial aide, are believed TO have been
two influences that have changed the
stand of the Mexican government
Nieto is known to have met with no
success and little encouragement in New
York beyond promise of consideration
Of the request when Mexico showed she
would accord proper treatment and pro-
lection to foreign investors. Limantour
must have advised Carranza, officials be-
lieve, that it would be impossible to se-
cure financial aid for Mexico so long as
the government maintained its hostile
attitude toward foreign investors.

ued Mr.. Writers, "that the poor girl can

rejection of this bill does not abolish the

it with the board of education to estab-

fitted to train teachers instead of being
compelled TO continue the schools at
johnson and Casteton."
