10 Our Patrons.

Beginning with the next issue, the
first of the new year, the form of The
Register will be changed TO an eight
page sheet, and considerably enlarged.
It is the intention to make the paper In
all respects all that can reasonably be
demanded of q first-class local newspa-
per, and the enlargement will not be
the end of improvement.
With the change in form and size, II
Is deemed best, chiefly because of the
impracticability of binding the old and
new forms together, to end the present
volume with thi sssue and begin n new
volume with the new year.
We would also announce that the
printing material and goodwill of the
Journai' Printing Company have beer
purchased by The Register Co., ant
The subscription lists of the two papers
will next week be consolidated. Sub
seribers of the Addison County Journa
will receive the Register to the date tt
which they have paid for the Journal.
We trust our patrons, and in par
ticular our advertising patrons, will
be patient over any shortcomings whlcl
may attend these changes, at first. w
shall soon have matters in running
order, when all favors in the bushes
line will be duly attended to.

requiring towns sending children t.
the State Reform school to pay ont
dollar per week toward his main
tenance while under the age of twelve
years, and fifty cents per week there
after during the term of commitment
This seems to be another sample of this
narrow-minded policy which seems toe
often to afflict our law makers in deal
ing with matters connected with the
Reform school, and it is calculated tC
defeat much OF the good which the
school might do. Theoretically the
school is intended Tor the reformation
of the vicious and criminal lads of the
state, who lack the necessary restrain
ing and ending influences of home,
II ought to be so practically. But there
are some small potato statesmen
who seem to think it duty TO demons
trate that the school is useless excres-
ence upon our reformatory system, and
who therefore endeavor to secure such
enactments as shall prevent tho send
ing Of young criminals to the instiiu-
ton. By causing 1t to make an in
significant showing as to the numbers
of young criminals dealt with, they
undoubtedly expect before long to show
that the school costs more than 1t 10
worth. The plain object of the piece
of legislation alluded to is to discour-
age the commitment of boys and girls
TO tbs school. Doubtless its authors
relied upon the we,l.known disposition
of 80 many, especially of our smaller
towns, to avoid town expenses where
possible. The result will be that in
dealing with criminal acts of children
the authorities will easily satisfy them
selves with small fine, or be persuad-
ed TO overlook criminal conduct and
let the accused go, unless his act is of
peculiarly heinons nature. Cases have
been known where officers have been
persuaded by reputable citizens to let
young criminals go, in order to save
the town from costs, and so the only
concession to justice in such cases has
been little rough handling and stern
admonitions not to do so again. When
q state has such Reform school I'M
der such management as it should have,
and such SIS we believeV Vermont posses
es, the proper thing to do with such
criminals is to commit them to it for
periods long enough TO allow It's man
agement and instruction to take effect.
To discourage their commitment is
ruinous policy TO the children and in
the end costly one to the state. There
10 no good reason which can be alleged
why the state should not defray the
expenses Of keeping the inmates Of the
Reform Schools as of those of the state
prison or the favored institution at Rut-
lad. Certainly the whole state is as much
interested in the reformation Of vicious
juveniles as In the punishment Of older
criminals.
