A LITTLE MORE "PEP'

Some weeks ago there was a
lot of talk about Suburban wecl,.
Plans were under way for a big
carnival. Mardi GraS. or Someth-
ing to bring people to Alexandria
and introduce them to the city ana
its merchants. For the past two
months we have had wonderful
weather for such an affair but 50
far as we know little, ii anything
has been done to make this ven
ture a reality.
The Gazette believes that a SUI
burban week programme would
be of great benefit to the merch-
ants and others, provided there
was cooperation ON the part of
majority Of the Alexandra mer-
chants. The merchants have just
as good values, many OF them bet
ter, than can be had elsewhere
Al that Is necessary is to let the
buyer know that these bargain.
are to be had in Alexandria.
Why not get behind this move
ment and put ii over big: NJ
we need is a little pep on the
part of those who want to bring
more people to Alexandria and
little more cooperation 'on the
part of everyone.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS NOTES

The directors have been notified by
the State Board of Education that a
one year teacher training course will
be granted to Peoples Academy for
the coming year. The instructor for
this course is furnished at the expense
of the state. The local school is re-
quired to furnish a room properly
equipped for the work.
Prof. K. r. B. Flint, head of the
department of political science at
Norwich University, has been secured
by the directors to give the address
before the graduating class of Peo-
ple's Academy at the commencement
exercises. Professor Flint has won
position of authority in Vermont in
his department and the directors feel
that they are very fortunate in secur-
ing him.
w. H. Hosmer, for the past year
principal of Peoples Academy, has
accepted a position for next year as
principal of Spaulding High School at
Barre. Although the directors are
not able to announce at this time
the names of all of the members of
the present faculty who will return
for another year, they feel that they
are exceptionally fortunate in being
able to announce that Miss Maude M.
Chaffee will return as assistant prin-
cipal.
The senior class of Peoples Acad-
emy having extended an invitation to
the Rev. w. T. Best of the Methodist
Episcopal Church to deliver the an
nual sermon before the members of
the class, the directors feel that the
time is ripe to announce that hence
forth the sermon to the graduating
class will be delivered in rotation by
the resident pastors of Morrisville
The following rotation has been
established 1922, the pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church; 1923
the pastor of the Advent Christian
Church; 1924, the pastor of the Uni
versalist Church; 1925, the pastor of
the Congregational Church. If any
pastorate shall be vacant at the time
the invitation for the annual SER
mon is given, that church shall be
passed until its turn shall again
come. If any church shall settle a
resident pastor, that church shall be
added to the list following the last
church upon the present list.

ANNUAL VILLAGE MEETING

The village meeting Monday eve
ming was quite largely attended.
T. C. Cheney was chosen president
and R. L. Barrows clerk and treas
urer for the coming year. The other
officers elected were as follows:
D. A. LaFountain, collector; F. G..
Peck, trustee for five years; c. H. A.
Slayton, member of water and light
board for five years; w. H. Towne
chief engineer of fire department;
J. S. Banister and S. l.. Ring, assist
ant engineers. The following board
of auditors, was reelected: A. H.
Slayton, c. H. Raymore, F. w.
Mould; F. G. Fleetwood, agent to
convey real estate.
Voted $1,050 for lighting streets
and $500 for use of hydrants.
The matter of oiling or sprinkling
the streets was left in the hands of
the trustees.
The article regarding stone
crusher and grader at cost not to
exceed $1,000 was left in the hands
of the trustees.
1t seemed to be the sense of the
meeting that an electric siren for a
fire alarm should be purchased and
this matter was also left with the
trustees to purchase at reasonable
price.
The article concerning the purchase
of a 60-gallon chemical engine was
left with the trustees with power to
act.
Voted special tax of ten cents on
a dollar to be used on concrete
walks and crossings to be expended
in 1922.
1t was voted to accept the pro-
visions of Chapter 241 of the General
Laws of Vermont, entitled EN-
ployes' liability and workmen's COM
pensation," and voted to have the
village relation with its employees and
it's liability for individual accidents
to such employees, subject to and con-
trolled by such chapter.
A tax of so cents on the dollar was
voted to be paid in the same manner
as heretofore, subject to a four per-
cent discount if paid on or before
September l.
Clark Park came in for good
natured discussion when A. r.
Campbell made a report for the COM
mittee appointed at the last village
meeting. He was still of the opinion
that this beauty spot should be i'm
proved, but did not feel like asking
for an appropriation. E. L. Cleveland
and Ambrose McManus thought
some concrete work done on Lake
street would be more acceptable to
them. Mr.. CampbelPs request that
he be released from the committee
was not granted

MR.. HOSMER ACCEPTS OFFER

AS told on page two Mr.. Hosmer
principal of Peoples Academy, was
offered and has since accepted the
principalship of Spaulding High
School of Barre, next to the Edmunds
High of Burlington, the largest
school in the state.
The article on page two implies
that he sought this job, which is not
so. He was first written to by the
school official of Barre, and finally
made formal application for the
place, though undecided as to whether
he would accept the place or not.
Mr.. Hosmer has been much
pleased with his work here, the way
he has been treated by the school
directors, the hearty cooperation of
the people and pupils with him, ETC.,
making his work very pleasant and
satisfactory in results. He was very
reluctant to make the change, which
is in the nature of a promotion, be-
cause he did not wish to leave Nor
risville.

TAKEN TO WINDSOR

At special term of county court
held at Hyde Park, Friday, at which
Judges Waterman and Benson pre-
sided, George Liable of Stowe, aged
19, was tried. He was charged with
stealing $35 from Cassius Gibbs. his
employer. 1t seems that Liable
worked for Gibbs and, as he says, he
could not get his pay, so one day he
took $35 and left. F. G.. Fleetwood
made an earnest plea for the re-
spondent and w. E. Tracy represent
ed the state. After consideration the
court sentenced the young man to
one years service at Windsor. to
which place he was taken Monday by
Sheriff Stevens.

TEACHERS CONFERENCE
A BIG SUCCESS

Twenty-Five teachers were present
at the conference held at the L. C. A
building at Hyde Park on April Z
The day was full of good talks, dem
onstrations and discussions of read
ing-perhaps the greatest problem OF
our Vermont schools.
The program opened with very in
teresting papers by Mrs. Mabel Girls
void of North Hyde Park, Miss Mar
tina Tyndall of Hyde Park and Miss
Dorothy Collins of Doty.
Supt. r. D. McAllister gave brief
summary of the results of tests in
silent reading, showing that the
rural schools were slightly below the
village school in the first six grades,
both in ability to understand the ma
terial read and speed He suggested
that, through the use of systematic
methods, this may be overcome to a
large extent.
Miss Katherine Aagerson, state
supervisor of teacher-training, gave
a splendid address, taking up the
various methods of teaching reading
in the primary grades, indicating the
best to use and why. She showed that
upper grade pupils should be inter-
ested in the reading and read for a
definite purpose. Miss Aagerson en-
phasized the use of our state library
facilities and inspired all present
with her enthusiasm and progressive
spirit.
Miss Ruth Burgess, assistant at
the Johnson Training School, taught
the teachers games, which they may
teach the pupils at recess and noon
times.
A luncheon was served by the
domestic science department girls,
Doris Sherlaw, Lena Sherlaw and
Ruth Young. This class cooked and
served the entire luncheon under the
guidance of Miss Ruth Ellsworth of
the L. G. A. faculty. Much credit
is due them.
Miss Beryl Powell, supervisor of
music in Hyde Park and Johnson, pre-
sented a program and demonstration
of teaching music to the grades,
bringing out clearly that one needs
as thorough methods in teaching
music as in other branches.
Mrs. Mary Finnigan gave several
demonstrations with her classes in
reading, showing how she attains the
distinction of having her classes rank
above the averages of 10000 chill
dren of the same grades in other
parts of the county. This was timely
in showing what a system well taught
can accomplish.
Supt. c. d. Howe of Morrisville
laid stress upon the Importance of
reading and the study Of its prob
lens.
This meeting, with its atmosphere
Of serious thought on a subject of
vital Importance (since reading
ability is used in all branches of
was helpful in understand
ing better the task that is before us,
namely, to teach our children to read
rapidly and accurately so that they
may have a fair chance.
