COMMERCIAL
CLUB TO REPORT
ON LIGHTING
Committee Working On
Plans to Secure Better
Service

To- the Editor of the st. Johnsbury
Caledonian:-
We were very much interested
in the article published in your is
sue of Friday, the 18th, in regard
to the very unfortunate occurrence
ON Thursday evening.
However, we were particularly
gratified to learn that there is a
public sentiment in favor of a
better lighting system for the
streets of St. Tohnsbury. This was
brought up for discussion before
the directors of the Commercial
Club at a recent meeting and 4
committee was appointed and the
matter is now under careful in
Yestigation
We are not in a position to state
the cause for the loss Of Lighting
service at such an inopportune
time but can say that every pos
Sible> effort was being made to
have this service restored before
the close of the evening session at
,bc Armory.
Respectfully yours,
st. JohnsbuIy Commercial Club,

Body of John Hides
Found In Room

George Hydes, 80 years old, an
employee at the Fairbanks shops,
was found dead from gas poison
ing today at the room which he oc-
cupies in the James McCaffrey
block on Railroad street,. 1t was
evident that death was the result
of an accident. The indications
were that HydeS had arisen from
bed, placed some potatoes on the
stove to heat and then had intend
ed to light the gas.
When Mrs. Daniel Lcnihan, the
chambermaid, went to the room,
she found it filled with gas. 1t is
believed that Hydes must have
been half asleep and had turned on
the gas and failed to light it. The
man had been dead for some time
before he was discovered. Chief Of
Police John Finley made an invest
igation of the accident and had
the body removed to an undertaA-
erS.

PRES. ATWOOD
OF CLARK Univ.
GIVES ADDRESS
Describes Teaching of
Geography to Pupils
In School

In Il learned address delivered
to the last morning session of the
Vermont Teachers Association to-
day, President Wallace w. At
wood of Clark University, describ-
ed the proper teaching of geo
graphy to children in the public
schools. President Atwood's ad-
dress was filled with knowledge
and furnished the teachers many
new leads to follow in their
schools.
During the last ten years there
has been remarkable awakening
in America of greater interest in
the various parts of the world
where people are living. The abb
solute necessity Of a fuller know
ledge Of geography was forced
upon Us during the World War.
Many of the departments in Wash
ington were surprised by the call
for geographical data and they
sent appeals Immediately to the
larger universities of this country
and to the geographical societies
for help. In the War Department,
a staff of geographers was engag-
ed, and the State Department en-
ployed, and continues now to en-
ploy, expert geographers upon its
staff. The Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce has borrowed
from the university world expert
geographers, holding some of
them in Washington, and sending
others as commercial attaches to
foreign countries. Many of the
large financial houses have under
taken to give courses of training
to their young men in commercial
and economic geography. The
School of Foreign Service at
Georgetown finds it absolutely es-
sential to require special courses
in geography of all candidates. The
larger industrial houses, interested
in foreign trade, have long recog-
nized how inadequately American
people have been trained in geo
graphy, and those connected with
such enterprises were among the
first to tram themselves in a fuller
knowledge of geography. Our
highly trained scholars now ap-
preciate that a knowledge of the
new geography, which involves an
understanding OF the environments
