RUTHLESS ACTS.

New York, Apr II. - Richard
Obrien, recently corporal i'll Com
pany M, Twenty sixth Volunteers,
in statement published today says
the barbarous "water cure" was in
common practice among the officers at
the Philippines He also tells of 9TH
er alleged horrors, including the abuse
of Filipino women and the massacre
of unresisting towns folks. .Obrien
enlisted in North Adams, and is now
living there. He declares his willing
ness to testify to the facts set forth.
He says, as the troops approached the
town of Barrio la Nog on December
~ word was passed along the line
that there would be no prisoners TAX
en-. The first shot fired was by the
first sergeant OF Obrien's company.
The target was mere boy. The
shooting attracted villagers who came
out of their houses in alarm. They
offered no offence, did not display a
weapon and made no hostile movement
whatsoever, but they were ruthlessly
shot down in cold blood, men, women
and children.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.

The report of the Chicago oonven-
ton of school superintendent as prom
Used for this column has been delayed
but some of the things said will bear
reprinting even yet
The most scholarly contribution and
that which made apparently the
strongest impression was the address
of Prof. ID. l.. Kiehle of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota. His subject was
The practical application of all
learning to better living" He made
a strong plea for the useful industries,
as manual training and the domestic
arts. He said 1.-THE educational
policy of continental Europe has been
to improve the intelligence of the
people in order to make them more
efficient i'll their respective spheres of
life, and thereby to increase their use
fulness to society above them as well
as to add to their own happiness, but
without disturbing the traditional
class distinctions as they exist. In
America the opposite idea has largely
prevailed. Those III humber life
have been taught that education is the
avenue of escape from the sphere of
life into which they have been born,
and with which the evils of life have
been associated. Under this impulse
our educational system has fostered a
general immigration from domestic
and industrial life. Our daughters are
headed away from the home freside,
and are strung along the way from
the m 7rchant's counter and the stem
ographer's table up to the practice of
law or of medicine. Our boys have
dropped the hoe and the hammer and
are headed for the town to become
clerks, doctors, lawyers, and legislat-
ors.
"Now it is not in my mind to aban-
don this view of education, or to OPP
pose it, but | do urge that we enlarge
our views to include that other idea
that education has for it's aim a pre-
paration for a life of comfort and hon
or in every walk of life. 1t is to fur
nish our youth with culture of mind
and heart that will make them noble
men and women, and with the neces-
sary skill of hand that will make
home a place of refinement and health
and the shop place of intelligent and
remunerative industry. 1t is to make
all industry of cultivated life honor
able, to encourage every young man
and woman to seek and occupy the
largest place of usefulness to which
he is by nature adapted, to avoid none
as if it were mental, and to make
home life the center to which art,
science, and wealth make their first
and choicest contribution. 1t is not
only that education should prepare for
better living, but it should teach
what better living is. Next to living
the greatest problem of life is to know
what is good living And the great
est obstacle to an adequate system of
education lies in the misconception of
society respecting the kind of living
that is most worthy of our seeking.
The supreme test of educational value
is contained in the questions; How
do these things relate men to life?
What better Interpretation of life do
they give? How do they contribute
to better living?'

GHOST STORIES.

Middlebury, Apr. 16.-For weeks
the political situation in Addison
county has furnished front page
specials and no end of editorial
comments from papers in this section
of the State, all on account of few
political ghost stories being sent out
from some nearby towns to State pa
pers and dated as coming from Mid
dlebury
There is hardly a shadow of doubt
as regards the States attorneyship.
Attorney william II. Davis of this
town will undoubtedly be the man
chosen to succeed James B. Donoway,
the present incumbent. Mr.. Davis is
a young man in years but old in work
along the lines mapped out by him
self, both while in college i'll Albany,
n. Y, and since his admission to the
bar. He enjoys the widest popular
ity among the legal fraternity both in
this and Rutland county. The only
other local political office that excites
any comment or furnishes topic for
conversation is the probate judgeship
for the district of Addison and Judge
William II. Bliss will succeed him
self There is no reason why he
should not, and court officials, hab-
itues and the legal fraternity say that
no man need waste time to enter the
field against the Judge" as he is a
fixture. Newspaper men always find
genial and obliging official in Mr.
Bliss when their duties bring them in
contact.
AS to the Governor situation it is
an even thing. There is the usual
crowd waiting for Ozark horses, -
"rake offs and numerous other things
but the leaders say that the county
will send a solid delegation for Nc
Cullough while the political experts
say that Clement will carry the coun-
ty. Many of the staunchest Webb
men are on the Clement list today,
Proctor's picture is turned to the wall
in this section.
After a weeks desultory work Cap
tain Drake starts the Middlebury Col
lege base ball team into hard practice
today. The outlook is not as promis-
ing as in years past for strong team
but Manager Duffield and Captain
Drake both expect that some develop
ments will be made by the freshmen
and that available material will re-
suit. The diamond has been placed
in first class shape.
Work was resumed Monday on the
new Catholic church on Academy
street which was suspended some
years ago owing to lack of funds. The
foundations and portions of the walls
had been put in position at the time
that work was stopped and these will
be examined by contractors to ascer-
tain their condition before building.
1t is mainly through the efforts of
Rev. j. d. Shannon, pastor of St.
Mary's church, that sufficient funds
have been raised and pledged to war
rant taking up the work again.
Word reaches this town today tell.
ing of the extreme severity of the cleo.
trical storm of Saturday in the lake
towns in this county. In Panton,
Bridport and Addison the heavy
downpour of rain was accompanied by
driving sheet of hail for some thirty
minutes. The rain and hail was fol
lowed by high wind. Lightning
struck fences and trees in many places
and the Addison d Panton Telephone
company's lines were disabled by
lightning, a pole being demolished
and considerable wire torn down.

Italian Marble Company, have afiillat
ed with that organization. BARRIERS

Superintendent William X. Fowler
spoke of some obstacles to educational
progress chief among which are So low
professional interest among teachers ;
too many preparatory schools for high
er schools, at least, in comparison
with the number of preparatory schools
for happy and useful lives the at
tempt to create or manufacture, in
stead of train and develop lack of
sympathy and cooperation between
parents and teachers and neglect of
physical education that would develop
bodily conditions that would support
vigorous mentality.
1.-The great mass of the people, the
middle class, the practical progress
sive people with a good common school
education and common sense ideas
and ideals must awake to the real
needs of the schools and show less
apathy to school work. -
He also believes that the addition
of manual training schools would re-
move many obstacles to educational
progress. -
