ing willing Tor able) to live until
1872, he conceived the brilliant
idea of celebrating the hundredth
anniversary fifty years in advance.
Mr.. Packs idea Is that If you
want to grab a page out of 1872
you will go out and plant a cen
tennial tree this year, fifty years
in advance. Then, If the tree
lives, when 1912 comes around
there will be shade in the world
because you planted a tree. In
other words. a part Of you-since
all our acts are part of us-will
live In 1872, and perhaps for many
years thereafter.
Moreover, the association will
make you a member II you plant Il
tree, ask you no dues and no initia-
ton fee. All you have to do Is
plant tree In the presence Of two
witnesses, and you'll get your

MONT BLANC
TUNNEL is
BIG JOB
BY Universal Service.


TGNEVA. - The scheme for
~ boring tunnel under Mont
~ Blanc has now been COM
pleted, with the exception of GER
tain details of execution.
The proposed line will enter
the mountain at an altitude of
1850 feet, and will pass under
the Glacier des Bosons ESQ IA
miliar to visitors to ChamoniO,
the Mont Blanc du Tacul, the
and the Mont Chetif, passing out
into the valley of the Doire.
Before entering, it will pass
through seven small tunnels,
none of them longer than $50
longest of which will be SIS
yards.
On the italian side the line
will pass Courmayer at an aIti-
tude of nearly 1000 feet. and
will join the existing line at
Aosta, where it is proposed to
build an International station.
The connecting line from the
end Of the tunnel on the Italian
side will be about twenty-eight
miles long, with six small. tun-
nels, none over $50 yards, and
seven viaducts. of which two over
the Doire will be of considerable
proportions.
The total length of the tunnel
will be 1900 yards about nine
miles,, and 1t will consist of
two parallel galleries, like the
Simplon.
1t is anticipated that the bor-
ing of the tunnel and the build
ing of the connecting line, which
can be done simultaneously. can
be completed within five years.

ton of character and every GOOD
action is stone laid.
A crowd is not company and
faces are but a gallery or pic
lures, and talk but tinkl1ng
cymbal where there is no love.
We should manage our fortune
as we do our health-enjoy 1t
when good, be patient when 1t is
bad, and never apply violent rem
edies except in extreme neces-
sity.
There is perhaps no time at
which we are disposed to think
SO highly of a friend as when we
find him standing higher than
we expected in the esteem OF
others.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

In spite of the inclement weather,
the fine response of the students, the
teachers, and those who took part in
the Eighth Grade graduating exercises
for the east end of the county, made
the affair fine success. There were
II who received diplomas as gradu-
ates from the east end of the county
and 62 in the west end, making
sum total of 1873, which is the largest
class we have ever had in the history
of the county. The fine way in which
the girls responded to the suggestion
as to dress is highly appreciated.
/, We have had year of splendid
success on the educational side, asso-
ciated with deep distress on the finan-
cial side of our education. Our school
has functioned in fine way, and
much credit is due to every teacher
and every student, every school board
and every patron, the Red Cross
Nurses and friends of our school sys.
TEN, who have played a part in
achieving this success. Much credit
is due Prof. Bunch, who has built up
one of the finest orchestras in our
section of the State, and also to A.
7. Hale. who has played very fine
role in instructing the High School
students in dramatics. We look for
ward now to another year of Success
in every way in our school system.
The key note to success is hard work
and perseverance.
We wish to call the, attention of the
teachers to the new Certilication law,
which will appear in next weeks issue.
High School certificates are also af.
fected by this law. and this imforma-
tion is now in the hands of the Coun.
ty superintendent. The teachers
examinations will be held on the sec.
ond Thursday and Friday In August,
instead of the third Thursday and
Friday. This conflicts with the dates
of our Teachers Institute at Holyoke,
and the most probable solution of the
conflicting dates will be to change
the date of the Institute from July 80
to July 90.
More than fifty per cent of the
schools in Phillips County have al.
ready employed their teachers or have
decided upon the teachers whom they
expect to employ for next year.
Prof. C. w. Bunch is formulating
plans for boys or,sirls organizing a
Junior Band. Any student OF our
school system is eligible for this band
and every one will receive splendid
Instruction during the summer 50

be in readiness for very successful
