NORTHFIELD, Oct. 11.-Charles \.
Plumley, president of Norwich university,
today declared that the university's edu-
cational experiment of establishing bu-
reau of municipal affairs had proved its
worth to the public.
A number of local municipal reference
bureaus have affiliated themselves and
been established in the public libraries
of Vermont, and calls for assistance in
the solution of municipal problems, re
ceived from villages and municipalities
in Vermont and elsewhere. have been
met.
Professor K. r. B. Flint, director of
the bureau, has spoken in dozen Yer
mont communities and has called as an
expert into Massachusetts, New York
and New Hampshire. A second edition
of his bulletin on town planning has been
published and has been distributed to the
municipalities within the state. The first
edition was exhausted some time ago,
calls for it coming from as far afield as
Australia.
The bureau was established in No
yember 1921 with the primary purpose
of rendering service to the communities
of Vermont by giving information upon
request regarding community organiza-
tion. town planning, and the administra
ton of local government publishing

and rather blankly.
He walks vigorously. four or Eve

Above all. he talks; and when he
talks, everybody else has to listen. That,
more than anything else. has made his
service so burdenseme on the few friends
and admirers who are still willing to at
tend him.
"Oftentimes for an hour those who
are listening to him have, no chance to
interrupt, no chance even to ask ques-
tion.
Then, abruptly. all is changed.
Others ask questions, and the kaiser does
not deign to answer
