parents of the young disciples of Colburn and Greenleaf, but without notable results.
A flat pine stick, with the proper divisions marked off in black ink is still preserved by the family of John Gale as a memento of the kindly old General whose life work was devoted to the service of his fellow men.
About 1875 he published through Cheney and Clapp, of Brattleboro, a little book called "Good Behavior", which was used as a supplementary read- ing book by the highest class in reading. Several copies of this book are still prized by those who were then pupils in the school.
He had read law, and was a member of the Vermont bar, but did not practice his profession.
He was the candidate of the American (Anti-Masonic) party for the Presidency in 1880.
