did not desire that the treasury should
absorb millions of dollars that might

A Thanksgiving Proclamation 40
Years Ago.

" Governor Holbrooks celebra ted
Thanksgiving Proclamation of November
II, 1861, is, happily for the Anglo-SaXon
race, not a unique document but It is
so entirely in harmony with all that is
strongest, brightest and best in that
race, as to merit permanent preservation.
Its preface is i'm the purest, finest Puritan
vein: Until the coming of that blessed
kingdom when the wolf shall dwell with
the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down
with the kid and the calf and the young
lion and the failing together, and a little
child shall lead them human life, wheth-
er individual or collective. must be a con-
hict. and its achievements the result of
tolls, trials, fortitude and faith. The
discipline of adversely rather than the
softer influences OF prosperity gives char
acter and power to a people. AS the
most precious odors eXhale their choicest
fragrance when incensed or crushed. so
people Chastened by adversely develop
finer and nobler qualities, acquire for
utude to bear with lofty cheer the trials
by which themselves and their institu-
lions are proved, and energy to surmount
difficulties and rriumpns over evil, 1t
was through dangers and difficulties that
our fathers first made a Judgement on
the shores of New England; and amid
discouragment, privations, and sorrow
which would have overwhelmed the
spirits and shaken the faith of other men,
that they instituted and observed a day
of Public Thanksgiving and Praise. "-[Bi-

We compiled the other day some i'm
pressive If not exactly cheerful figures
from the just-pubished census bulletin,
showing storm-centre of illteracy in
Vermont.
The details are perhaps even more
striking.
1t should be promised that the figures
include only male residents of Vermont
p years old and upward, and that al
literate" means those who can neither
read nor write. and also those who can
read but not write. The figures Of the
counties which we are about to quote re-
fer only to native-born white males, as
above.
According to the census. our neigh
boring county of Franklin leads the state
in illiteracy. It has SSi6 males and of
these 643 are illiterate, or one out of
every fourteen. Grand Isle comes next,
with one illterate man out of every Is,
and our own county of Chttenden third
with one in every 1872. Does in seem
possible that out of every l6 of II native
born men in this good city of Burlington
one is illiterate? Then follows Addison
county, where the percentage of Hitter
acy is one in %; Bennington, &c; Orleans,
%; Essex "a; Lamoille, So; Rutland 81
Orange. SO; Windsor. 55; Washington, 90;
Windham. e.; Caledonia, 70-good old Cal
edonia thus ranking as the best educated
county of the state, within the limita-
lions mentioned.
All told. Of the los $50 grown-up men in
Vermont S543 are illterate.
OF the S3,702 native-born men 1913 are
iliterate. or about one in every %.
OF the 20.s91 forelgn-born men 4ST1 are
iliterate or nearly one in every four.
The proportion of illiteracy will Of
course, be largely increased when the
figures relating to our female population
