PREF. GUILPoRD's LIFE.
Glowing Tribute TO the Dead Prin-
cipal by a M as~achusetts Paper.

cipal by a m as~achusetts Paper.
The Vineyard Gazette of Edgartown,
Mass, pays this tribute to the late Prof.
Ansen B. Guilford, Principal of Public
School No. t.
Prof. Guilford's death was a shocking
surprise to his many friends, as startling
as a thunderbolt out of a clear Vineland
sky. Although Edgartown was his sum
people and visitors alike a become so
well acquainted with him through his
~tireless and unselfish activity in promot-
ing diversions for those in town last year,
that they feel his death has created a
vacuum which may not be filled for
years. None could come with the range
of his good nature without being bene-
fitted and exhilarated, consciously or un-
consciously, by it. Last summer his
wit relieved the tedium of many an hour,
and his interchangeable energy contributed,
without money and without price-yea,
in some instances, without suitable
thanks, to the pleasure of who
were in Edgartown. He was endowed
with the trait of being most happy when
he was giving pleasure to others. One
i~ncident-of many-illuStrateS THISTLE
had attended one of the churches, when
a number of children were present. At
the conclusion OIL the services, an appear
was made to those present to take one
or more of the children home for dinner.
Although Prof. Guilford was making a
brief visit, n knew hat to respond
would cause him considerable trouble, he
volunteered to tax two children and
furnish dinners to them.
One of the conspicuous features of
Prof. Guilford's life was his great popu-
larity with both young and old people.
He entered with the keenest spirit into
the pursuits of young men and women,
and became their most respected and
valued companion. The young people of
Edgartown wiil mourn his loss as they
would that of one of their own age, for
he was their constant playfellow all last
summer in ennis, golf, swimming, hi
cycling. 1t will be. remembered that he
supervised and led the bicycle parade
which escorted the Cottage City Board of
Trade from the train to the Hotel Har-
Dor View last August.
Prof. Gaiiford was a tireless worker in
his profession, and as Principal of School
No. Z in Jersey City he had done for
wears two mems work. Had he. been
more regardful for himself, 1t is probable
that his life would have been prolonged.
He was an authority on educational prob
lems, and was the author of many works
used in the so3aoolroom. While IN Edgar
town he completely a speller, which is
now in press.

Don't overwork the Boye.


Farmers are sometimes very inconsid-
crate in the treatment of their sons.
Without meaning any harm they i'm
pose labor upon boys which should be
the work of men. Now, the physical
energies of growing boy have already
an important work allotted to them,
that of building up strong, healthy
organization. The vital force cannot
be exerted i'm making muscles and bone
and at the same time be expended in q
hard days work In the corn field. We
have seen many instances Of boys be-
ing st,lnted and dwarfed, because they
were overworked by an inconsiderate
father. When work is crowdilg In the
fields there is strong temptation to util-
lie every muscle, the willing boy is i'm
pressed into service to provide means
for the growing hogs, at the expense OF
his own growing body. This is all
wrong. A farmer would not for an in
slant think of Harvesting his 6-months-
old colt and hitching him to a pillow, and
why should not the growing boy have
the same thoughtful consideration
Don't overwork the boys. They are al
the material we have to make men of

1t does not matter much how crooked
the little stream may be that meanders
through pastures lands. But il it is to
be cut for hay, Or especially If it is de-
sired to use the land for blowing, it Is
important to have the brook straight
ened, so as to take as little room as pos
sible. In many places straight, deep
ditch, cut to lead off a stream that only
runs in the spring, may be probably
turned into an underdrain. The con-
venience of blowing over it and the
land saved will make it pay.

Making Horses Eat slowly.

Many horses, especially if fed grain,
eat it much too fast to get the most
good from it. A good way to compel
slow eating is to mix with the grain q
few clean pebbles, that will oblige the
horse to gather his food slowly. A still
better way is to grind the grain and
mix the meal with three times it's bulk
of cut hay, or twice it's bulk of straw.
