The racing at Billings Park, White
River Junction. July 4, promises to be
the best ever seen in Northern New
England. The 1922 class contain the
well-known names Early Bird. 2:21 IA,
Jesse Hanson, 1921 1-2, Home Rule,
2:21 3.l, and Factory Boy 2 :24 Ia. In
the race at Hartford last week consid-
cradle feeling was engendered between
the friends of Early Bird and Jesse
Hanson, and this race coming so soon
after will be race for blood without
a parallel in the history of racing in
Northern New England.
Factory Boy comes home from Cam
ada flushed with victory in five con-
secutive races with the best Canadian
talent. Charles Taylor, the veteran
driver, "a years old, will be behind
him, and he promises to lead the Bos-
ton horses hot race.

Nearly one-half of the members of
the Company were detailed each dav
for picket duty on the river, while a
sentinel was posted on top of the
stockade to alarm the camp should the
enemy make his appearance along the
river front. One day Charley Haines
was OH duty at No. 2 and by some
means got hold of liquor When So
Der he was one of the best boys in the
Company, but under the influence of
liquor he would become crazy, and
treat the commands of his superiors
with perfect Indifference. On this oc-
casion a goose flew near him and he
concluded to take shot at the bird.
Sergt. A. H. Cheney was in command
of the post and did all in his power to
keep Haines from disobeyiag the order
but all to no purpose. Bang! went

we were met by messenger who in

the alarm so we were marched back to
camp. Charlie Haines was placed UNI
der arrest for djsobedience of orders,
but to avoid court martial Lieut..
Blodgett ordered him to do extra duty
on the stockade for three days, that is
on two hours and off four for that
length of time. He performed his du-

Growth often takes place in unexpected
ways, or does not take place when we
should expect IT, The order of develop
ment IS less rigid and more variable than
is sometimes supposed. If this were not
the case there would be more difference
than there is at present between child
educated in kindergarten and one edu-
Gated in well ordered home. In the
home the objects present themselves TO the
child without any fixed order-he tumbles
into knowledge, and this want of system
is not without its advantages, seeing that
we cannot make our systems perfect.
Even If a definite system be pursued
some time and opportunity must be given
at all stages Of education for this chance
development. In Il home where child is
allowed, under the care of some educated
person, to investigate the objects around
him, and the natural and artificial processes
which are conducted in the house and its
surroundings, much healthy development
may take place without any fixed system.
But a life which is limited TO the nursery,
with artificial playthings and daily walk
by the side of perambulator, is eminently
unsatisfactory. An ignorant nurse mas no
idea of the kind of sympathy and help y
child requires. Even when she is fond OF
him she interrupts the workings of his
mind with rude laughter. She does not
understand how to speak the truth, though
if convenient she will stigmatize an unin-
territorial misstatement as lie.
She win capriciously surround him with
vexatious restrictions, yet viii develop
selfconsciouspess and selfishness By fiat
terry and over indulgence. This is not
promising state of things, but deter
mined child. especially if he be fortunate
enough TO have brothers and sisters, will
modify it somewhat by engaging in active
and healthy play whenever he can elude
the vigilance OF his nurse, who is full Of
anxiety about the state of his clothes, and
dsapproves of most kinds of games.-Popu-
