A NEGLECT OF DUTY.

There is still considerable discus
sion regarding the death of little
Rolfe Canning, the Bloomington boy.
The boys who were said to have tor
tured their little playmate were dis
charged for lack of evidence against
them. The writer was not present at
the trial and will not attempt to dis
cuss the various points brought out
there. However one cannot read the
testimony as published without COM
ing to the conclusion that there was
something lacking in the school. BY
the testimony it seems the boy was
undoubtedly favorite victim for the
scholars to hector. 1t may be that
nothing was done to him that is rot
being done to boys in many other
schools, but IL the testimony of the
children is true there was every
reason why a stop should have been
put to some of the work. That it was
not stopped is not entirely due to the
teacher. The parents must come in
COR their share of the blame. If
children are taught to be helpful and
considerable at home they will not en-
tIrely forget their training at school.
In many instances young and mex
perienced teachers are being placed
in charge of our schools and the
parents are giving no attention to
the work which is being done. They
are careful to see that the man whom
they pay twenty dollars per month to
do the work on their farm does 1t in a
thorough manner, but they will turn
their children over to the care of q
teacher, and no matter how much
che lacks in experience or judgment
she is expected 70 supply much OF the
training they should receive at home
In some cases they get 1t, IL
Others they do not, but whichever
the case the parents seldom help BY
cooperating with the tescher.
No boy ever went through schoo
without receiving a certain numbe
OF hard knocks. 1t is best for then
that they should, for it helps to brinI
out what there is in them. Their
seems to be little doubt that Rolf
Canning received fully his share o
this treatment. A teacher shoulC
know IL such things are being csrrie'
beyond a reasonable point and shoul
put a stop to them. In this case
seems that the teacher and parent
were totally unaware of what wa
being done. AS we have stated be
fore the condition may have been n
worse in this school than in man
others but in every case where sue
"hazing'' is being carried to exces
and no attention is paid to
neither the teacher nor the parent
are performing the duties which rec
upon them.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles was retired on

Gen. Nelson a. Miles was retired on
Aug. sth from the &C mmand of the
United States Army, by the age limit.
At the opening of the Civil war Gen.
Miles was clerk in store and was
without military education. He en-
listed early and although a young
man be worked to the front and at
the close of the war was a major
general. After the war he became
an officer in the regular army ard in
the campaigns against the Indians in
the west won still greater fame for
himself. Since he has been stationed
in Washington at the head of the
army there his various actions have
been the cause of considerable friction
in the department, and many of his
friends have claimed that as a result
OF this he was given a very direct cut
at the time of his retirement. If SO 1t
certainly was a very inopportune
time as Gen. Miles services to his
country are deserving of the highest
recognition.

The Methodist Conference of New
England has lost about seventy five
thousand dollars through its treasurer,
w. S. Allen, vino has proven a thief
of the first water. Allen was in abso-
lutte control of the funds and gave no
bond for the same, therefore the con-
ference must stand the entire loss.
Much sympathy is due the society for
the loss of the money and still more
for the lack of judgment which they
showed when they allowed fund OF
seventy-five thousand dollars to re-
main in the hands of one man year
after year without his being required
to furnish bond for the same. The
men who have allowed this condition
to be brought about may have shown
their confidence in their fellow man
but they have displayed very poor
Judgment as business men. The
society has now elected new
treasurer, obliged him to give g
bond and placed other restrictions
upon him for the safety of whatever
funds may be placed in his hands

BARTON, VT.


Dear Sir: You naturally want to make
your own and your customers money go as
far as possible. So, in the general interest
we tell you why fewer gallons of Devoe Lead
and Zinc will paint a house than mixed
paints.
Let's suppose you are using lead and oil,
Instead of lead and oil you put in four. ffths
whiting, lime, water, and other stuff that
doesn't paint at all. Put that against gallon
OF lead and oil, and what will it do? One
fifth as much.
How much Of your labor is wasteds Four.
ffths. How good a job will it make? No
comparison. How much good will it do You
in your business to turn out such Job?
And so on
Devoe Lead and Zinc paints a house with
fewer gallons than lead and oil.
Yours truly,

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of tie ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional re medles. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tn be
geis intamed you nave rumbliug sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

other part of the union. In conclu-
sion Mr.. Prouty sale: 81 am not
urging the rest of the United States to
move into Vermont to practice law;
we produce lawyers enough for home
consumption. 1 am not saying that
the young Vermonter should under
no circumstances leave Vermont to
practice law elsewhere, for in many
instances he should. am combating
this idea that he must go, that there
is nothing for him here"
AT the close of the address a ban
quet was served at the Memphrema-
cog house. Post prandial exercises
were held, John II. Ssnter of Mont
pelier, president of the association,
acting as POSTMASTER. Lieut. Gov.
Zed S. Stanton, of Roxbury, responded
to the first toast, Vermont" and
made hit, as did the second speak
er, Senator Redfeld Proctor, of
Proctor, who was introduced to
| respond to "Our Federal Relations"
He spoke of the large number of
Vermonters now in offices of i'm
portance in the administration of
| national affairs. John w. Redmond
responded on behalf of the host of
| the association, the bar of Orleans
county. Mrs. E. Huntington Henkle,
of Springfield, H., in compliance
with re quests, sang "May Morning."
and in response to a clamorous
encore gave "Mighty Like a Rose"
A departure was taken from the
usual practice in asking member of
the bar rather than the bench to
respond to the toast, "The Supreme
Court" The only member of the
court present was Judge Wendell P.
Stafford of ST. Johnsbury. John w.
Gordon, of Barre, was selected by the
association to speak for the court.
sour Sister in the Law" was a special
toast to introduce to the audience
the first and only woman member OF
the Vermont bar and of the associa-
ton, Mrs. Jessie l.. Bigwood, of Bur-
lington, who made a charming and
gracious response. "Our Philippine
Possessions" was the toast used to
introduce the Hon. Henry G. lde, OF
st. Johnsbury, one of the Philippine
commissioners. His remarks consti-
tuted the most interesting of the
post-prandial speeches. Congress
man David j. Foster, of Burlington
who was not assigned to any toast on
the list, was present and was asked tc
explain the difference in climatic
influences in Washington, D. c., anG
] Vermont. He said all he could tel
} the guests on that subject was tha
the Washington climate agreed will
, him, so far, and he hoped it would
continue to do so for long time yet
/ The most eloquent speech of the eve

3 who responded to the toast, ''Th,

/ not given him until late in the after
