GODDARD TRUSTEES
UPHOLD PRINCIPAL
In Stand That Athletes Must Maintain
Passing Mark in All
Studies.

AT the recent annual meeting of the
| trustees of Goddard seminary it was
voted to spend $1,000 on making re
pairs to the school property and in
installing a general fire alarm system
for the school Included in the re-
pairs will be the retinting of the walls
of the rooms. 1t is proposed to go
about this repair work Immediately.
Besides installing a school fire alarm
system, the trustees hope to make
some arrangements with the city
whereby the school will be connected
with the city fire alarm system. AL
ready the water connections have been
made which will give protection in
case Of fire, and it is desired TO com.
plete the facilities by close connection
with the Barre fire department.
Another important action taken by
the trustees was a vote to support
Principal Dawson in his stand for
Nigh school scholarship for the entire
school, including the members of tire
athletic teams. At the opening of the
school year Principal Dawson an
nounced that a passing mark of so
in all subjects would be necessary be-
fore students would be allowed to rep
resent the school on athletic teams.
This rule resulted in the removal of
a major portion of the football team
because those players were not main
tanning the required standing. One of
the games scheduled had to be can
celled because of the inroads caused
by this requirement.
When this matter was presented to
them in their annual meeting, the
trustees decided that scholarship was
the first essential and that it must be
insisted upon, with athletics taking
secondary consideration, although they
were anxious to encourage athletics
as much as possible. Therefore, they
decided to uphold Principal Dawson in
his stand.
II was announced that the endow
ment fund has increased $1,000 dur
ing the year, the amount now being
$l6l 900
There were two designations from
the board OF trustees, Z. j. Hewitt of |
