there has been half a chance the
country has been flooded, people
driven from their homes, and every

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN,
By County Supt. L. r. Clark.
Normal Institute, July 2S-Aug. %

Nineteen years ago this week the
first normal institute in Edwards
county was opened in the old brick
schoolhousc north of the railroad.
Prof. Goodwin, conductor and in
structor, enrolled twelve teachers in
his classes and received subscriptio on
money for part of his salary. Al
that time the population OF Kinsley
numbered 40 souls, while the grand
will predict what changes the next
nineteen years will bring?

Parents, when you go to the annual
school meeting on the last Thursday
of this month, take little time to in
spect the condition of things at the
schoolhouse. Look at the outhouses,
the doorstep, the floors, the walls, the
ceiling, the stove, the clothes-hooks;
imagine yourself LIVING there for a
considerable portion of time next
winter and ask yourself whether or
not you would be satisfied with your
surroundings. Remember that while
broken windows, self-ventilating
floors and ceilings, cracked stoves
and tumble-down chimneys may not
give rise to physical discomfort on
the last day of July, they become
serious problems when the bleak
winds of winter are driving the mer-
curry below the zero point. You owe
it to your children to see that ar
rangements are made for all neces-
sary repairs before school begins next
fall.

BRADSTREET'S VERMONT TRADE
REPORT.
TRADE
CHARLES CARPENTER

The business situation throughout
the state continues to be reasonably
satisfactory; manufacturing estab-
lishments are busy and labor well
employed, both wholesale and retail
trade are of fair volume and the col
lections indicate the free circulation
of money. Another week of some
what unsettled weather has not added
to the prospects for good corn yield,
which of late have not been of the
best. Burlington reports business in
nearly all departments reasonably
good. The larger concerns are run
ming we'll and practically all of the
manufacturing houses are doing a
good business. There is a good de-
mand for jobbing goods and collec-
tions are satisfactory. Retail trade is
classed as about fair. In Montpelier
all lines of business are we'll occupied.
The granite sheds have orders ahead
and other manufacturing concerns
are as busy as usual at this time of
year. Retail trade good. Barre re-
ports are favorable as to the business
situation. The granite industry is
active, especially in the quarries,
which find ready market for their
products, collections are fairly good,
retail trade satisfactory.
Barton reports the manufacturing
interests well employed. Retail trade
good, collections fair. Crops in this
vicinity are good. Business in all
lines is favorably reported at New
port, agricultural crops fair and col
lections good. At st. Johnsbury the
large scale shops are employing in
creased force and other manufactur
ing concerns are doing WE'LL Retail
trade is good, collections fair The
condition of most of the agricultural
crops in this vicinity is favorable
Windsor reports the manufacturing
interests we'll employed, retail trade
and collections good, crop conditions
favorable, except corn, of which
there will probably be but small
yield. The manufacturers are busy
at st. Adams, retail trade moderate
collections good. Corn and potatoes
are backward. Business reported
good in Bellows Falls, collections goot
for this season of the year. Manu-
facturers are well employed at Spring
field, retail trade good, collections
fair. It is too wet in this vicinity fol

RESPECTABLE ~ WHISKEY DRINKING!

Is that a smooth combination of
words? Does the phrase sound as
though the words had any affinity for
each other? The advocates of license
say, "Give US legalized open bar, SO
that a man may drink respectfully"
and not be compelled to sneak into
some hole or cellar to get his dram.
Sneak is their own word, and we'll ex-
presses the sentiment of those who
never drink, concerning the drink
habit, as now coDducted; and is
equally applicable to providers and
partakers.
But can liquor drinking be made
respectable, by any process or sur
roundings? To be respectable is to
merit the esteem, or high regard, of
others. Will any person claim that
whiskey drinking, even moderately,
ever made any man more worthy of
esteem and respect than he would
have been if wholly free from drink?
Does the habit euer increase good
character? Everybody agrees that
carried to ultimate excess it is a sure
destroyer of character, as we'll as life.
But at what point in the development
of the habit the destroying process
commences, probably all would not
agree. My own conviction is perfectly
clear that it is at the very beginning
Every case of manhood or woman
hood wrecked by strong drink proves
conclusively that the whole track is
down grade, and the quicker and
firmer the brake is applied, the surer
is the control.
If licensing the open sale of liquor
in hotel and saloon makes drinking
respectable, why should the bar

REFORM (?) IN TAXES.

The simple statement sounds pleas
antly to most ears. We are told that
license, low or high, especially high
license to sell intoxicating drinks,
will quickly produce the desired re-
suit. But how? 1t is said that the
five hundred Or a thousand dollars
from each town that chooses to license
the traffic and from the cities and
larger towns, many times the sum,
will fill the state treasury SO that no
taxes or only small taxes will be re-
CURED.
Now suppose" this would be the
actual result. Itseems very natural
question to ask: "Who really fur
nishes these many thousands of dollars
TO relieve the taxpayers burden?" 1t
appears at first glance that the
licensed drink seller is the peoples
benefactor SO far. But bark! Has
his pocket emptied itself without ex-
pectation of large returns? Will he
continue his benevolence by paying
some courteous bar tender to dispense
| free drinks without limit? The abso-
lutely definite conclusion is that the
men and boys, everyone who buys the
drink, pay the money.
1t is a wonderfully new develop
ment of generosity in Vermont, that
the drinking half (if they prove to be
a majority should ardently rush to
relieve the whole people of onerous
taxes, and take it upon themselves
with the addition of every bar tenders
salary, all that he and his employer
drink and give away, and all that
settles down permanently into the
proprietors' pockets.
If License comes Ct pray God il
may neaer come to Vermont it viii
rot bring the blessings that in way
are promised. Don't let glittering
theory sweep your feet from under
you, but getdown to cold hard bottom
facts and stand on them.
