work in a good family this winter,

The Battenkill Women's Club at a
recent meeting, took account Of stock
after a summer of very brisk activ-
ity, and find that the money made at
the Bent Twig Tea-House, (the com
munity tea-room, which was run in
the North District school-house last
summer) was enough TO ensure a very
successful serving of hot lunches dur
ing this season to the school children.
From the percentage given to the
school, and from the sale Of antiques
which were given to the school for
that purpose, little more than sew

American educators often wish .could
be more developed, that is, the utiliz-
ing of the training and experience Of
good teachers who have married and
had children Of their own. The older
people Of Arlington Village viii re-
member what an excellent school was
kept by Miss Margaret Lyons Of Rut-
land, good many years ago. This
gifted sehool-teacher was captured
from the school-system and turned in
to a fine mother by good marriage,
and as the wife Of Mr.. James lyman
has been mueh-respected citizen Of
Arlington ever since. She has raised
a large family Of children, everyone
Of whom is now of school age, and five
Of whom are now in attendance at the
North District school. What more
natural than that she should follow
her children there. now that they are
no longer in the home? Mrs. lyman
has consented to try to combine home
duties with school-work and TO take
over the teaching Of the younger chill
dren, and every morning sets off for
school with her five children beside
her. The only difficulty has been the
finding Of someone who can help Mrs.

On what to do and not to do to keep

is we all try to have the best work
and in that way we have better work
than if we should say or think "Oh,
