On September 20. 1921, Burr and
Burton Seminary opens its ssth con-
seeutiyo year of instruction, and this
promises 20 be the most successful
year In Is history The aim of the
board of trustees and the administra-
tion Is TO maintain such standard Of
scholarship and usefulness 10 the CONF
munities as will place Burr and Bur
ton among the best secondary schools
IN New England. The expense Of in
struction win always be kept as low as
il compatible with this policy.
That good work is being done at the
Seminary is borne out by the fact that,
Of the q graduates and post-gradu-
ates who completed their courses last
June, Is are planning to enter some
institution Of higher education this
fall.
In pursuance Of this definite policy
successful efforts have been made TO
appoint the following faculty, all Of
whom are experienced teachers:
William W. Lee, Jr., Principal,
mathematics: graduate Of Dartmouth
College, graduate work at Harvard
University and the Harvard Summer
School, experience in teaching In and
administration Of both elementary and
secondary schools, and in social SER
vice.

pal; English and History. Graduate
Of Williams College, graduate work at
Harvard and Columbia Universities,
teaching experience in secondary
schools and universities.
Earle SWEET; Mathematics and Sci
ence. Graduate OF New Hampshire
State College, one year teaching ex-
perienee. At the opening Of the war,
Mr.. SWEET entered the U. S. Marine
Corps and has served as captain in
that service for four years.
Paul H. Bullock, Commercial
Branches. Graduate Of Brattleboro
High School and Bay Path Institute
Normal Course, one year teaching ex-
perienoe in elementary schools and one

ton Seminary and Wellesley College,

perience in tutoring and in secondary
schools.
Mrs. Mary B. Buckham, English and
Latin. Graduate Of the University Of
Vermont, has been teaching for the
last four years in the Hyde Park, VT,
high school.
The ability Of Miss Jeanie w. Jack
son and Mrs. w A. Griffith is too well
known 10 need more comment.
II has been found necessary to in
crease the tuition 10 $4,000 per year.
In determining this amount the trus-
tees have carefully considered the sit
uation from every angle.
As is quite generally known, the
Seminary has been carrying a sub
stantial debt for the past few years
due 10 the recent changes in teachers
salaries, cost Of fuel and higher cost
Of maintenance in every way. Within
the past year sums have been contrib
uted 10 apply on the indebtedness, and
upward Of $4,000 Of subscriptions
are yet TO be paid to apply on the
present debt Of 81, 10000, as Of July
1, 1921. There was a deficit Of APP
proximntely $4,000 for the school
year 1e20-l92l as between general re-
ceipts, including income from endow-
ment, and running expenses.
The following budget has been pre-
pared for the coming year, and, bar
ring emergencies, actual maintenance
should not vary much from the total
Of sl5,570O0. Income may vary ae-
cording TO attendance, but judging
from recent years it seems probable
that the average attendance will be as
indicated.
