Out Mr.

McBrien's Address Most Inspiring Others Who Were Heard Large Attendance. That the convention of the Addison County Teachers and Patrons associa- tion, held in Vergennes last week, was one of the best ever held tin the county was the unanimous opinion. Some went farther and said it was the best ever," because thearrange- ments were so carefully made and so well carried out. The attendance was large. The first meeting was held Thurs day morning at City hall.

Mayor Harrington gave tne aaaress or welcome, Principal Walker the response, and there was an address by Supt. Stone. Dinner was served at Grange hall. The session Thursday afternoon was marked by two notable addresses, one "Teaching for Efficiency," by Principal W. L.

Powers, Washington Normal School, Macbias, Me. and the other "How We Can Make Our Gardens More Productive," by Miss Ethel Gpwans, Teachers' College. Columbia University. A feature of this, meeting was "The Function of the Play Festival in the Public School," illustrated by a cantata, "The May," composed by Miss Beatrice M. Daniels, with the assistants of the pupils in grades 2-3 and 7-8.

Miss Daniels's talent in preparing and presenting entertainments of this nature was well illustrated here, and ber audience was delighted with what tbey saw and heard. Thursday evening's meeting drew an unusuaily large audience of Vergennes people and teachers, who beard a splendidly inspiring address by J. L. McBrien, specialist in Rural Education, Washington, D. C.

Mr. McBrien, besides being one of the nation's foremost educators, is a speaker of rare power; forceful, earnest, broad and sympathetic, with a truly irresistible Irish wit. He showed himself to be widely acquainted with educational conditions in the United States and zealous for their improvement. In his address. "Our Young be dwelt upon the importance of character buildiug in the home and the school.

All else, he declared, should be subordinated to this aim: To help the child in developing to the full his Godgiven powers, to make of himself the best man and citizen he is capable of being. To this end, the home should be made the most attractive spot in the world to the growing boy and girl. Here Mr. McBrien introduced an effective personal He said: "I taught my small boys to box and wrestle. We cleared the dining room and went at it, sometimes forgetting ourselves so far that we expected the 'hurry-up wagon to gather us all in for breach of the peace.

But I would far rather be arrested for breach of the peace than to have my boy dragged out of some saloon and imprisoned." The school and its surroundings, he said, are potent factors in the formation of character. He dwelt on the deplorable conditions to be found in many of the rural districts, especially in the remote mountain sections, and vehemently denounced the prevalent state policy of giving to stroug schools the support which should uplift and strengthen these weak schools. He has been able, while holding au ini- portaut political position, 10 secure legislation along this line in his home state. Commenting on this often misdirected state aid, he brought out that most teachers of ability do not remain long in Vermont, but are hired to neighboring states, Massachusetts or New York, by an increased wage. "We need, he an improved puDUC sentiment.a sentiment that will recognize the right of the Vermont boy and eirl to as good training and instruction as are afforded to the Massachusetts and New York boy and girl." Mr.

McBrien, in conclusion, ex plained how the teacher character puts its indelible impress upon 'that of the child; how the latter unconsciously imitates the former in manner, speech and opinion how the confidence and cheery optimism of the teacher can inspire the youth to great achievements. "It you believe in the boy, Mr. McBrien said, you can tell him: 'Go out and lift up that corner of the world; it is and he'll do it! Just as the people of New York city said to John Mitchell: "lio out and lift up the morality of New York city; it is and he is doing it!" Throughout bis entire discourse, the speaker was interrupted by frequent applause, and at tne close, ne was eiven a hearty cheer. Mr. McBrien spoke again at the Friday morning session.

His subject was, "Vitalizing Agencies Ldu cation." The first thing that he mentioned as being indispensable to the broadening ot educational advan tages was money. A sufficient amount of money, he maintained, was needed to properly equip the school, to beautify the grounds, to buy pictures, etc, all the things which tend to inculcate reQDed tastes -in the and render school life more attractive. Athletics was also to be considered a life-giving element. He advocated the school baseball team, the football eleven, and, especially, the field day, which has the much-desired effect of bringing the parents into touch the school. Without this co-operation, he said, the school could not do its best work.

With this same subject in view, that of interesting the Mr. Mc Brien suggested exhibits oi pupils' work, frequent meetings of patrons and teachers tor tne discussion or current problems, and visits by the teacher to the home, where she can best obtain that sympathetic insight into the child's nature which will teach her how to help him, As a means of making the instruction vital and permanent, Mr. Mc Brien strongly approved or aramatiz ing. He spoke of its value in teach ing literature, isngnsri, and especially history, in which connection he referred to a dramatization of "The km IHVru ine at 9 o'elock from St P'ri's church, the Rev.

Guy Holcomb.then living in the present so-called Fayette Harris house at the Corners, drove the team that conveyed the body from the station to the ferry. I do not learn he went across the lake with it. In this day of your near celebration it occurs to me that an additional marker of interest might be made were your city fathers to designate by marker the road over which John Brown's body passed now known as the Pantoo road as the John Brown road. i J.

John Richard Carroll, brakeman on a north bound Rutland railroad freight train, was killed "at Tupper's crossing, about a mile above Ver-gennes depot, Saturday night.

The train left Vergennes at 10 35, and Carroll, who was on tne root of a rear car, signalled the engineer to go ahead, after the switch was throwu. No one happened to be nsar him, and his lantern's flash as the train rumbled on to the main line, was his last living action so far as the train crew know. The train reached Charlotte before Carroll's absence was noted. Then, after the sleeper had been let by, the freight engine was unbooked and run back along the line in search, as blood had been noticed on the wheels of some of the cars. The supposition is that Carroll fell from the top as the train was moviDg, and be was "walking" the chain of about 60 cars.

He evidently fell forward in front of at least some of the cars. It is also practically certain that train No. 52 passed over the body on its way south from Burlington, before the fatality was discovered. On the finding of the body it was brought to the depot in Vergennes, and a train was made up to take it to Eutland. Carroll was very popular among the railroad employes.

Besides his parents he is survived by four brothers, all of Rutland. He was a member of the Brotherhood of Kailroad Trainmen, Rutland Aerie of Eagles, the Rutland division, A. 0. and the Railroad Men's Social club, recently organized there. The funeial was held at St.

Peter's church, Rutland, Tuesday morning at nine o'clock. BAILEY MEMORIAL. Now In Course of Preparation By Arthur F. Stone. Arthur F.

CLOTHIERS FOR ALL MEN Declaration of Independence," which he had witnessed in a grammar grade. Such a presentation of history, he was convinced, installed patriotism and courage such as the dry page of the text book could never exci(e. He mentioned other vitalizing agencies: Manual- training, which often saves to the school the boy who is averse to book learning; the agricultural course, the teachers' trainiDg course, and the boys' and girls' clubs of various kinds. After a selection by the V. II.

S. orchestra, Mr. McBrien added a graceful tribute to music as one of the greatest powers of good in the whole curriculum. W. L.

Powers of the Washington Normal school, Machias, also addressed the convention on Friday morning. His talk was extremely practical and helpful to teachers. He spoke at some length on the necessity of teaching first aid work to boys and girls, and he cited several cases where Boy Scouts in one of his schools were1 able io save lives through such a knowledge. He emphasized that ability to resuscitate a drowning person is infinitely preferable to a knowledge of the number of bones in the body. Domestic science was also mentioned as a help iu making girls efficient house-keepers and home-makers.

He lauded very highly one Domestic Science school where the girls are taught the care of a baby, by actually taking complete charge of a baby, "borrowed" from an invalid mother. In his second talk on Friday afternoon, Mr. Powers spoke on "The Community's Debt to the Dull Boy." He put that muclj-abu8ed individual in an entirely new light. From personal experience, he was able to prove that the dullest boy in school often makes the most brilliant man out of school. He urged teachers to find out what the backward boy really wanted; then to give it to him at any cost.

Mr. Powers' sound common sense and helpful suggestions will help many a teacher who was fortunate enough to bear him. NEW HAVEN. GRAT-ENO. Miss Elizabeth F.
