A school of journalism is to be
founded in New York, the publish
er of the WorN having subscribed
large sum for this purpose. The
notions of Mr.. Pulitzer may be
commendable, but there appears to
be no special need OF such a school,
when we take into consideration the
fact that every community now has
scores of people who know just how
to run newspaper.

Blessings from thousands OF fair
lips will be showered upon the
Reading Railroad for its order to
trainmen to carefully wipe the hand

well be generally adopted, and the
wonder is that it was not long ago
put in operation.

1t is plainly useless to have things
or services for sale unless the public
shall be informed about it, says the
Philadelphia Record. Of al ways
of making an impression on the
public mind the newspaper an.

fective, because it reaches the
largest number, and those who
read it are in search of information.

the railroads ought to be prepared
for this years rush.

SOMETHING THAT SHOULD IN
TEREST YOU.


AS am anxious that the general
public should see and acknowledge
that have one of the finest and most
complete rooms in the state for refrac-
ton AMI optical work, l will for the
next 80 days make thorough and
complete examination absolutely
free.
NV Office is new, and fitted with the
latest electrical Instruments and every
appliance necessary for thorough
and scientific examination. Possibly
thsi offer does not appeal to you, as
Won see the free examination adver-
tisement every day. Possibly the fol-
lowing definitions will help You. Ar
oculist is physician and surgeon
who makes specially of treating eyes
for diseases and troubles needing sur
gical treatment, besides making the
examination for rerfactive errors.
An optician, in it's strictest sense, ii
person who grinds lenses and fit
proper frames to faces, besides making
and selling optical instruments. A re-
fractionist is one who. with proper in
struments, measures the refraction Of
the eye and fits proper lenses to correct
malformaitons and relieve strains
upon the ocular muscles.
The position Of the refractiohist Ii
one of great responsibility, for n
must be able to recognize diseases o.
threatening. conditions, and must know
when it is unsafe to prescribe glasses
and when the case should be placet
in the hands of the physician ant
usrgeon.
The time required for a Thorough
scientific examination is from one Il
two he urs, and with the knowledge
experience. and skill necessary, must
under ordinary circumstances, be pai'
for.
You will now understand what thi
offer means, and if there is tn
least doubt in regard to you thel

this is the time to find out. Many
people go through life suffering with
severe headaches that suitable pair
Of glasses would entirely cure. Some
people do not see well and do not
know it. Some of these are called
clumsy or dull, when they are
really not to blame. Remember this
may especially apply to school child
rem and their dislike for study. Some
find it very hard to get away during
business hours, so l am prepared for
this with special lignhting system,
and can make examinations evenings
as we'll as any time.

well.
But it is echoed in any town of con-
siderable size in Vermont, that is, all
but the raids II has so long been
the habit of our self-satisfed brethren
to sit back, fold their hands, shut their
eyes, and murmur peacefully "There
is no evil here that now and then
revelation of the seamy side is worth
while And the purpose OF those reve-
lations should be TO persuade the pub
lie that Vermonters are quite as hui
man as anybody else, that we have
pretty much all the human weaknesses
and vices and are not altogether
strangers to the methods of their graf
ifcation, even if we do live in rural
state. Perhaps when this lesson Is
learned, we can have less law-making
bv the idealists and theorists and
more by the men who realize what the
actual conditions are and know some
thing about how they may be met 10y

Games of chance and bluff will con-
tinue to thrive until human nature
changes. Vermont human nature is
no different from that of the rest Of
the country and Bennington will
average up doubtless with the rest OF
the state though Bennington, we be-
lieve, never boiled an insane patient
alive in a bathtub as happened over
in Waterbury, and Bennington did
not twit Waterbury of being more
brutal than the rest of the world be-
cause Waterbury CHANGED TO be the
scene of such an unfortunate and hor-
rible affair.

The outcome of the vote on the loca-
option bill Tuesday is the logical re-
suit of the campaign of education that
has been waged during the past seven
months. 1t was a good day and a fair
test and the voters Enthusiastically de-
clared their preference.
1t is strange coincidence that the
new law should be adopted by almost
exactly the same majority as that
which carried prohibition into effect 80
years ago this month.
The closeness Of the vote renders the
change an experiment The prohibit
tionists being beaten by so small ma
jority, will not be content to let the
matter rest but will at once begin agi-
tatiou for the repeal of the new law
which must therefore prove its value
in order to remain on the statute books.
The vote justified the claims of the
local optionists in one important re-
spect The progressive growing sec
lions Of the state supported the bill by
strong majorities, while those counties
which are steadily losing in population
and are backward and unprogressive
all voted for prohibition.
