MORE DISTRICT CONSOLIDATION
Formed in Orleans County by State Edu-
cation Department.

MONTPELIER, Oct. A consolida-
ton of school districts has taken place
in Orleans county as a result of confer
ence held by Commissioner of Education
C II. Dempsey with the school directors
of Newport and Orleans last week. Hol-
land and Morgan in the Orleans east dis
trict have been added to the Orleans
north district which previously included
Newport city and Derby. The new north
district will be in charge of Ernest /.
Parmenter, former superintendent in
Newport and Derby. -...
The other three towns in the Orleans
east district, Bloomington, Charleston,
and Westmore, have been added to the
Orleans central under Carl J. Batchelder,
the present superintendent in this dis
trict Before consolidation, the central
district included the towns of Barton.
Glover and Albany and the Incorporated
school districts of Barton and Orleans.
On Thursday and Friday, of this week,
Commissioner Dempsey will make trip
to the western part of the state to in
spect teacher training classes at the INT
versity. of Vermont. Middlebury and
sGaStleton and to consult the district Su-
perintendpntS on school matters.
The enrolment in the state teacher
training classes is steadily increasing and
approximately 325 teachers are now
training This number is very satlsfac-
tory in view of the fact that the state
board raised the entrance requirement
this year from three years of high school
to graduation from high school.

INSECT INJURING
BIRCH FOLIAGE
Birch Leaf Skeletonizer Working In
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Once In
10 TO 20 Years.

MONTPELIER. Oct. 4-The injury
TO the birch foliage, which has been evi-
dent throughout the greater part of the
state during the past month has been
caused by the birch leaf skeletOniZer. ac-
cording to n report of the Vermont de-
partment of agriculture based on inves-
legations by H. L. Bailey. in charge of
insect suppression This insect. scien-
tifically known as Bacciilatrix Canade-
nenssella. is a native, but only becomes
plentiful enough to attract attention
once in a period of from i to 20 years.
The larvae. which eat out the tender por-
ton of the leaves. are very small, slen-
der caterpillars. green in color. After
pupating within slight ribbed cocoons
they develop into small moths.
The species was reported as exceed
ingly plentiful in New York state in
1901. and presumably was likewise pien-
tiful in Vermont at the time. 1886 and
1891 are other dates at which the in
sect has been recorded as being out OF
bounds in various parts of New Eng
land
1t is not likely that serious injury
viii result from the present attacks OF
the insect. even though it may be plen-
tiful another season. Natural paraslt-
ism may be relied upon to control 1T.
though the appearance of ornamental
birches may be improved next season by
spraying early in August with arsenate
of lead.

tude. and girdling the globe to the east
ward; and are lettered from A. to V,
north and south. with the equator as a
starting point. The north and south
polar regions are to be shown in circular
sections from the SSth parallel of lati-
tude, and lettered Z-North and Z-South.
Purpose of the Map.
The main purpose of the international
map, which will be drawn on the scale
of one to one-millionth. is to furnish a
complete world map of uniform drawing,
thus obviating different scales of dis
tanceS, and to enable map makers and
readers of every country to understand
the maps of every other, even though
they do not understand any but their
own tongues. There will be shown only
the outlines of land and water, with
depths or water and heights of land !:
stream and river systems, or drainage in
the map makers parlance, roads, rail and
trolley lines, towns and cities, and con-
tours.
While the scale, which is approx
mately 10 miles to the inch. will allow
IA.
small towns and streams will be omitted.
To show heights and depths, a scheme
of hypSometric colOrS has been adopted
This will grade from a very light green.
for shallow waters, to the familiar tints
of deep blue, for the increasing depths
of seas; and from light yellow, for low
countries and valleys, TO a deep brown
red for heights.

termined astronomically and by triangu-

Guiding rivers. streams, creeks, swamps.
canals and other water bodies. and cul-
ture. that is. towns, cities, railways,
roads and highways. all constitute a
base map, which is compiled as the
first step in the work and which will be
made available by the survey for state
and other maps. The completed map. in
size about 80 by 90 inches. is copper en-
graved in the most delicate and strong
detail, and will be available at the sur
vey. 1t is reduced in size to form a
scale of eight miles to the inch. The
production is by photolithography.
The sections thus far completed have
required six months to compile. The
work however for lack of extra appro-
priation. is being done concurrently with
other map work 1t IS estimated that the
cost for the international map will be
from SO to $50 per thousand square
miles of area.
The details of the international mar
were accepted bv nine world powers al
| conferences in 1909 and 1913. While il
is popularity known as the SIilliontf
Map of the World. its correct title Is
The International Man of the World or

But he took off his coat and he took oil

Edward Payson Weston the now Octo-
genarian, is walking across the continent
but with less elasticity in his modified
step than when he first hiked to the Pa
cific from Portland. There tarrIed IN
Brattleboro last night n writer of re

his publishers, the Northwestern News
Syndicate. n story of the ability of
man to walk across the continent and
return upon the unsolicited generosity of
the American public without a penny IN
his pocket going or coming, to assist IN
paying his way The publishers rejected
his preposterous story. but TO prove his
assertion he buckled right in. and if he
worried he hid il as he tackled his weart-

prouty of Newport, eldest son of late
Charles A. prouty, has been recon-
mitted by Judge Sherman X. Moulton TO

summer. In August, attorneys for Mr..
Prouty brought petit for writ of habeas
corpus claiming that he was being I'M
lawfully detained. before Judge Sherman
II. Moulton.
Under the law, it was possible for
Judge AIoulton to admit Mr.. Prouty to
ball. pending the decision on the case.
This was done. Judge Moulton notified
Enright and Guy NJ. Page of this city
that the decision would be given Monday.
MIR. Prouty appeared at the court house
and was informed that Judge Moulton
had decided that the cOmmittal had been
lawful and that he would be re-committed
to the institution.
Mr.. Prouty will appeal the case to the
supreme court. He claims that the law
under which he was committed Is uncon-
stitutional. The probate court mt Newport
appointed Frank C. Williams OF that
city. former bank commissioner for Yer
mont. as guardian for Mr.. Prouty.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-Uncle Sam
is slowly progressing on a new map of
the country, to be a part of a new world
map, based upon simple system pro-
posed by American representatives, in
1908, and accepted at international con-
ferences. 1t will be the result of years
of effort by map makers who have de-
sired a system of cartOgraphy whereby
the same scale of distances could be used
in Il world map, with lettering and sym
bols uniform. The American map is ex-
pected to be completed in 10 or Il years.
Each country will map the. territories
and waters under its own jurisdiction,
and the geological survey of the United
States interior department is making
