DISTRICT SUNDAY
SCHOOL INSTITUTE

The Sunday School institute in Dis
tl'ict No. 9 of the Caledonia County
Sunday School association was held
at the Union Baptist church Friday
afternoon and evening. There was a
good attendance of Sunday School
workers and an excellent supper was
served by the ladies of the church
between the sessions.
Fred r Clifford, the county treas
urer, presided at the sessions, though
Rev. c. A. Adams of Danvillc, the
county president, was present and
participated in the afternoon eXer-
cises. The program was carried out
according to the printed program and
many helpful and interesting ideas
were presented.
The evening session opened with Il
/ few important remarks from some in
the audience whose names did not
appear on the program. Rev. A. S.
Woodwork extended the welcome to
the gathering from "thc little church
under the hill" p. +. Ha2cn spoke
of the continued interest throughout
the years in "Thc Old, Old Story"
and brief remarks were made by Al
thur F. Stone and Vernon Ticehurst.
The principal address of the even
ing was given by the state secretary,
Rev. G. E. Robbins, who spoke upon
the county standard Of efficiency. He
prcfaccd his address with some inter-
csting bits Of history which showed
how much of the Sunday School
movement originated in Vermont. 1t
was in Concord in 1912 that the first
Sunday School in Vermont was or
ganiZad, and later in that same town
the first teachers training class in the
world was started. From this class
the whole normal school was develop
ed. In 1917 the first Sunday School
convention in America was held at
Greensboro. And at Royalton 35
year., ago the first home department
in the world was organized.
: MI. Robbins then explained in de-
tail the International standard Sun
day School chart. Only one Sunday
School in the state, that in the Bap-
fist church in Richford, has 100 per
cent rating, with the Methodist Sun
day School in that place close sec
ond. He said for four years Wind
ham county had been the banner
county in the state, meeting all the
requirements of the standard chart.
This county received a banner and
not until 1919 did another county Sc
cure a banner for similar eXcellnce,
that being Lamoille county. /
"The Ideal Teacher" was the last
subject on the program. The theme
being presented from the primary
teachers standpoint by Mrs. Lydia
Beck; from the secondary teachers
standpoint by Miss Merle Chandler;
from the adult teachers standpoint
by Rev. DR.. f. A. Poole. Each
speaker presented suggestions de-
veloped from practical experience and
he theme was treated in very prac-
,ical manner.
Secretary Robbins made strong
,lea for attendance at one of the sum-
ner schools in 1920 and Miss Jennie ,
Mcdonald and Mrs. Vernon Ticehurst
poke of the great profit they had {
eceivcd from attending the Burling- ,

"The Kiss Burglar" "

It must be gratifying to the authors of a new musical play to read the word Success stamped on their book, lyrics and music as was the case with ''The Kiss Burglar" upon its first presentation, This romantic story of America and Europe tends to create as much interest, if not more, as any of it's predecessors, proving equally as big a drawing attraction, as Madame Sherry" when that de- lightfu1 comedy was offered the pulp lie for their approval. Every pro- ducer has one or more success during their career that makes a small for tune, for the producing business IS not unlike the mining business, more money is usually invested than is ever realized, for it requires so much capi- tai to produce a big musical produc- tion.
 When "The Kiss Burglar" was sug- , gested to Coutts and Tennis, who first 1 produced it at the George M. Conan 1 theatre, New York, where it ran for six long months to capacity houses, they requested the authors, Glen Mac 1 Donough and Raymond Hubbell, to produce the manuscript and score and i immediately upon hearing the music accepted the play. Money was no ob- l ject in building this big spectacle for
 this firm realized as soon as they | heard the score and read the book i that it was another success equal to i the well known stChocolate Soldier. " 1 The success of 'The Kiss Burglar is now well known and theatregoers who desire to see it when it comes to the 1 Park theatre for two days, eommenc' l ing Monday.
