Six little marks from school are we,
Very important all agree,
Filled to the brim with mystery,
Six little marks from school,,
One little mark is round and small,
But where it stands the voice must fall
At the close of a sentence, all
Place this little mark from school,
One little mark with gowna-trailing,
Hold up the voice, and, never falling,
Tells you not long to pause when hailing
This little mark from school.
If out of breath you chance to meet
Two little dots both round and neat,
Pause, and these tiny guardsmen greet
These little marks from school.
When shorter pauses are your pleasure,
One trails his sword takes half the measure,
Then speeds you on to seek new treasure,
This title mark from school,
One little mark, ear-shaped implies
Keep up the voice-await replies"
To gather information tries,
This little mark from school,
One little mark, with an exclamation,
Presents itself to your observation,
And leaves the voice at an elevation,
This little mark from school:
Six little marks! Be sure to heed u.s.
Carefully study write and read us;
For you can never cease to need us,
Six little marks from SCHOOL,

Report of the Audubon Society.

The year 1903 has brought much en-
couragement to those interested in Au-
dubon work in the state. Membership
has not increased as rapidly as we could
wish, but 4 sustained effort has been
made to broaden the interest, and en-
courage among all our people a living
interest in the living bird for the en-
richment of life from the aesthetic side.
The subject of bird protection by the
farmer, not legal protection, but indi-
vidual protection such can result only
from an intelligent comprehension of the
economic value of birds to our agricul-
tural interests. was ably presented by
one member, Amos j Eaton. at the
dairymens meeting held last winter un-
der the auspices of the state board of
agriculture. No topic awakened a deep
er interest Mr.. Eaton mad only the
Massachusetts charts for illustration. A
lantern slide would have been of great
value, and we earnestly hope financial
aid may come to us in this matter Our
wish is that this feature of the work
may be extended through the Oranges of
the state.
We have had the hearty cooperation
of our state superintendent of education,
Hon. Walter L. Ranger, who has also
furnished us with much valuable printed
| matter for distribution. which was is
| sued by the board under his direction.
The interest in bird study is deepening
| in our schools. We number among our
| members teachers in our Normal schools,
| which will insure definite aid to those
soon to be enrolled among our teachers.
During the month of August the in
| terests of the Audubon society were pre-
sented at several of our summer school
| meetings with much intelligent appreci-
| alton. Nature work in its largest sense
| mans true relation to the world about
| him. is the growing idea underlying the
| work of our educators.
| We have now three Libraries in circu-
lation among our schools, in the towns
| of Newfane. Putney and Brandon re-
| spectively, two of these having already
| been circulated in the schools of our
| town.
We wish very much that the Audubon
| charts might be placed by our school
| committees in all our district schools.
I We would urge every member of our So
| ciety to read Bird Lore" \ copy of
| this magazine we place upon the table of
our town library. In no other way can
| one be fully informed of the scope and
| progress of Audubon work.
| We are also under an individual obl-
cation, when able, to support the ac-
| credited organ of our society. Here too,
we may learn of the work of our national
committee in its efforts to unity and
| strengthen the interests of various state
| societies. We most earnestly ask each
member of the Vermont society to work
| for the deepening and broadening of in
terest in study of living birds.

The Increase in Arrests Under Lii
CenSe.


The records of arrests on file in the Of.
flee of Town Clerk w. S. Newton furnish
interesting data as showing the Con-
dtion of things" under the license law as
compared with that under the prohib
itory law. From the time the license law
went into effect until the hotel licenses
in Brattleboro were revoked five months
elapsed. May, June July. August and
September. During that time the number
of arrests in Brattleboro for either in
toXication or disturbance of the peace was
So For the corresponding time last year
the number of arrests for the same causes
was 20, of which 10 were made in Septem-
ber, which included both days of the Val
ley Fair. The arrests for intoXicaton
greatly outnumber those for disturbance
of the peace the largest number for dis
turbance of the peHce in any of the past
five months being four, and in practically
all cases of disturbance of the peace in
Brattleboro rum has been the cause.
Here is a comparison of the number of
arrests two years: May. 1902, 0; May, 1903,
19; June. 1902 8; June, 1903, 10; July, 1902,
?; July, 1909, 13; August, 1902, 81 August,
1903, IS; September 1902 10; September,
19O3 22. Since the Valley Fair this year
there has not been single arrest
In each prosecution the states attor-
ney's fee is $1.60, the court fees are $2.09
and the officers fees are more than $3.50
on an average. This is provided all the
prisoners plead guiltry and pay their fines.
If they stand trial the costs are more and
if they are taken to jail the officer gets
additional Is cents a mile for travel
one way. Thus it will be seen that the
minimum cost in each case, allowing for
one meal, is over s6.25. For the five
months named in 1902, 20 cases. the costs
were over $125. For the five months under

TO people who wish to read understand
ingly of the situation in Beirut we conn
mend the personal letter published in
another column. The writer is
prominent member of the American col
ony in Beirut. and his statement is more
informing than anything We have seen
published in any form. our critics at
home. notably the Springfield Republican,
ridiculed and condemned President Roose-
welt for ordering the American warships
to Beirut. To those who denounced the
President for his impulsiVeness in this
action we wish to point particularly to
this statement of an American of intel
ligence on the ground; The promptness
of the government (American) and of the
commanders of the vessels is most praise
worthy, for it is all that saved the city
from anarchy. Not another war vessel
of any other foreign power has yet come
and we feel proud that our country, al
though the most distant, has been able
to appear first upon the scene"

Senator Proctor's speech before the Off
GERS Reunion society at Rutland last
week has been quoted in some quarters
to show that he Is "at variance with
his party" and he has been welcomed
to the ranks of the anti-imperialists' 80
The speech as printed in fun in another
column will be found mighty interesting
reading. 1t hardly shows that the sena-
tor is an anti-imperialist. We have al
ways supposed that the anti-imps be-
lieved that we made a mistake by not
hauling down the flag and skipping out
of Manila after the Spanards were put
hors de combat. Then the natives could
have had the "sef government" for
which they were not fitted, and which
would inevitably have brought chaos and
anarchy. Senator Proctor says nothing
in disapproval of our course in the Philip
pines in the past five years, but recog-
nizes that in that short time more
peaceful condition than has ever been
known las been brought about in the is
lands. Senator Proctor wants us to go
slow. but hopes that eventually the peo-
pie may be brought up to a self-govern-
ing basis. This is right in line with the
Republican doctrine of the national plat
form. which, in reference TO the people
of the Philippines, said The largest
measure of self-government consistent
with their welfare and our duties shall
be secured to them by law; and in ac-
cord with eX-Secretary Longs declaration
at the dedication of the Mckinley monu-
ment in Adams, Mass. that he knew that
the lamented President had regard "to
their Ohe FilpinosD progress, their edu-
cation. their full enlistment in all the
lines of our civilization, aye, their ulti-
mate political independence, when fitted
for it and equal to its maintenance"

The riotous Battle between the an
arch.sts and socialists at Barre, resulting
in the death of one man and the injury of
others. does not appear to have much to
do with the political beliefs of either

The editor OF the Banner who formerly
lived in Barre, has great admiratio
for that hustling city and takes a rosy
view when considering anything connect

that they found what they were looking
