ment of the solid pleasure this mighty mon
arch tenders you. To be sure, through his
acquaintance, you will eventually be intro
duced to Sorrow. Want and Misery-may-
hap also to Deceit and Crime: he will com

will demand not alone your money. but
your character as well; he will turn grey
the hair on your fathers head, and he will
cause the tears of bitter alg uoh and sorrow
to course down the cheeks of your heart
broken mother; he will destroy the peace
and harmony of your happy home; he will
bare it of the presence of loving and con-
fdng wife; he will see you sooner or later
weighted with heavy conscience full of
sin and crime, if not into the confines of
prison cell. or suicides or drunkard's
grave. 10 be sure. such consequences will
assuredly follow your acquaintance with
King Faro; but why should you cast a
shadow upon the present so-called pleasure
by considering them? c. NJ. M.

"A Maxim Emphasized.

In late number of THE MIRROR l saw
the maxim, Never advise any one to drink"
Will the following incident from real
life emphasize it?
Some years ago lady teacher was board
ing one summer with a German family.
"The Glorious Fourth. came in due time,
and she. as member Of the family. took
part in small gathering that picnicked in
neighbOring grove. The party consisted
of relatives and friends of the family with
whom the teacher boarded. and numbered
about twenty. all Germans except herself.
1t is generally received opinion that all
Germans are fond of beer. and the teacher
was not surprised to know that it was one
of the drinks. though tea. coffee and lemon
ade were. abundanty supplied. The cask
of beer was first opened while she and the
children of the party. accompanied by a
young man. whom we will call Henry, had
gone short distance to see train load of
pleasure seekers go by. 1t was thought by
the rest of the company to be fine joke on
Henry that he missed the first chance at the
beer, for all knew that he was fond of ii.
Some time after their return to the com
pany the drinks were proposed again. and
Henry declined 10 JOIN WIFI tneIl. lie Sdlu
he was going to town after the picnic. and
knew where he could get plenty of it. The
teacher thinking he felt resentful. and fear
ing that if he went to town in that mood he
would drink to excess. advised him and
finally urged him to drink with his friends,
She would not use it herself. and none of
the other ladies did more than to taste it.
Judge of her establishment and humiliation,
when later in the day. Henry asked her to
keep him by her and away from the beer
That she who had always advocated total
abstinence had advised him to drink. and
then have him come to her for help. 1t was
sad but to her further modification he told
her that in Difference to her temperance
principles. he had fully determined early in
the day to let the beer alone. and he would
have perSevered in his determination if she
had not joined with others in soliciting him
to drink. Her only excuse was that she
feared he would drink to excess on leaving
the company. She did not remember that
a little indulgence in such cases is excess
She will remember it hereafter for such a
lesson is needed but once in life time. She

Give Justice to Those That Are
Deserving.

We regret to hear of those of our num-

release. On two or three occasions we
have been reminded of the ingratitude of
such. as shot at those among us who are
unfortunate in the lack of possession of
friends or money. or, perhaps-educatiOn
and adaptable conversational powers. Is it
Just, and chrstianlke, to condemn four
hundred or more, because the one or two
they selected from among us as deserving
subjects, proved unworthy? Had the bene-
fitted one proved himself worthy, would we
have received any praises for his good con-
duct? l think not. Then why reproach
us with his inidelity. If the philanthro-
pist would see justice done to any of our
number, let him acquaint himself better
with us-and not judge us altogether by
our external appearance or conversational
powers. There are those here among us.
to whom mercy is justly due. The most
flattering talker is the one who will push
himself forward and gain the ear of the good
people, yet, it remains an open question
whether he is one whit more deserving than
he who does not stoop to conquer.

The Public Schools.

1t was not many years ago that the
public school system of Massachusetts
was regarded as about as near perfec-
ton as it could well be. Many people
who were not residents of that state
thought there was nothing more to
learn about schools than was eXempli-
fled there. But very marked change
of sentiment regarding public schools
has taken place. The change is not
confined to Massachusetts, for the pub
lie school system is essentially the same
in the Eastern States, and its radical
insufficiency is generally recognized
because there is no very great differ
ence in character and intelligence be-
tween the people of any two of these
states.
Doubtless what called the attention
of many to the defects of the present
system was the failure of good share
of young men who had graduated at
high schools and academies to meet
better success in business than young
men who had not enjoyed these advan-
tages. Such people seriously asked
themselves, Isn't this education of
the children failure, after ALP" Well,
in certain sense it was a failure for
that very reason. The ability to make
good living is an important means to
the end of the best mental, moral and
spiritual development. But it is safe
to say that so long as the ability to
make money is kept in view as the first
aim of education, with the higher pur'
pose kept in the background as some
thing that is likely to follow inciden'
tally and naturally, just so long thai
education will fail. That is the reason
why the present system has failed. We
must begin over again. We must revo
lutionize our conception of an educa
ton f.? Have our educators had il
mind the training of every faculty
mental and PHYSICAL rounding on
in such way that they and the pupi
himself can see which of these faculties

THERE were earnest, not to say bit
ter, speeches at yesterdays meeting of
the American Board. The discussion

all on one side, for though the mem

attacked by name, they offered no de-

THIS Republican majority however,
brings with it serious responsibility, re-
sponsibility which must not be shirked.
There are questions of public policy TO
be settled, needed legislation to be
enacted, and pledges made the country
by the republican party in reference to
the revision and perfecting of the tariff
law, the inauguration of a systematic
plan of coast defense, the giving aid to
American lines of steamships and the
building up of merchant marine, and
the surrounding the ballot with neces-
sary safeguards, to be redeemed. Dos

WE do not know the author of the
following letter in the Vermont Watch
man, but it contains a great deal of
truth. Bennington county has been
left out in the cold for many years, as
far as high state or congressional offices
are concerned, and the reason has not
been for want of good material. This
county now has, and always has had,
men worthy of the highest positions,
but perhaps we have no political
"hustlers 4" who are bound to get there
and no members of the "ring" that is
said to control the politics of the state.
Our friends in other portions OF the
state are very glad to have us roll up a
big republican majority on election
day, but seem to forget that 1t is some
times pleasant for the fellows who do
the work to have some recognition
when the conventions are held.-Man-

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1889-10-23

IN Franklin, Chittenden, Lamoile
and Orleans counties it is reported that
there are many districts in which no
school is in session this fall, because no
teacher could be secured. This state
of things is ascribed to the new school
law, which calls for a rigid examination
of teachers. If that is the case, it is
simply admitting that in these counties
teachers have been employed hereto
fore who could not pass the rigid
examination. Such teachers can not
obtain certificates under the present
law, and the districts are rid of ineffi-
cient teachers. 1t does not follow that
they must be without teachers, but it
does follow that they must pay wages
high enough to induce good teachers to
take schools. 1t is misstatement to
say that there is a scarcity of teachers
in these counties; the wages are too
low, that is all.
