see 1t too We regret that even to one
person, our kindly meaning was not
made plain.
The writer of the editorial In ques-
ton has come into close contact with
schools in several of the middle and
New England states during the past
few years and has personal knowledge
of the cases of taxation cited. Many
most pathetic stories absolutely true,
concerning penniless children under
this custom might also be told. We do
not say that any intentional cruelty ex-
lists or that any compusion is used ex-
cept the irresistible compulsion of APP
peal to the child's pride and the human
desire to keep up with his fellows. We
repeat that the practise started in an
innocent desire to have things nice"
and pleasant in the school life: but it
is impossible in public schools, where
rich and poor go together to make
pleasure out of the contributions of
money by the children, without Great
ing unhappiness to go along with it.
No scheme for pleasure in such place
can be purely uplifting and satisfac-
tory unless it can be engaged in by all
alike. If pictures for the rooms and
flowers for sick schoolmates are really
desirable as Il part Of the education of
our children-and we do not say they
are not-let the school board see that
suitable sum of money is appropriated,
with the other expenses, for such pur-
poses. These matters should not be
left to the judgment of individual teach
ers or pupils to levy upon others for
the attainment of their desires.
The collection of money by Sunday
schools and Sunshine societies is a diff
ferent matter, altogether, because at
tendance at their meetings is not COM
pulsory. Parents who have no money
to give may keep their children away
from these places but the law compels
them to send their children to school.
For this reason courtesy demands that
their poverty should not be suggested
to them there.
We are very glad to note in the state
press many expressions of approval
and endorsement of our views on this
subject. Most of our teachers are ear
nest, thoughtful men and women and |
have only to see the point of injustice, |
which they have overlooked, in this |
practise to stop it at once of their own |
free will. For the good of all the chill
dren, we hope they will.

Booker T. Washington spoils a very

them would, it would be the simplest
and pleasantest way out of the race

The Taxation" of School Children.

We have received a letter in answer
to our editorial of Sept. IL on the
above subject which we should be glad
to publish if it were not anonymous
and therefore debarred from any repu-
table newspaper. 1t is signed Citizen"
and is plainly from a woman who per-
sonally resents our view of the subject
named. 1t sets us down as narrow
minded, mistaken and unworthy of no.
tice and recommends that We carry our
work of reform" on the subject of
child taxation into the Sunday schools
and Sunshine societies.
Now the Reformer's editorial was
not intended as an attack on any par
ticular person or school. We saw. in this
very prevalent custom, a cruelty and
an injustice to the children of the poor,
a source of much annoyance to many
parents and a harmful influence all
around and we hoped, by a simple
statement of the facts, to make others

to take our proper medicine and if we
make others take tbeirs-better for us
and better for everybody else. In these
cases, a full dose of strong medicine is
needed: we are so sick with LIQUOR
lawlessness we Vermonters that
half doses or dilutions are of no earthly
use
1t is argued that besides being good
fellows and not intending to break the
law. the liquor sellers could not tell
whether the boys they sold
TO were minors or not. Some
of the boys are tall and look
quite p. 1t is also true that some of
the boys are small aud don't look any
where near 81, which rather hurts the
argument. 1t would seem wiser in
doubtful cases, considering the string
ency of the law, to give the law the
benefit of the doubt. That would
make 1t easy and safe.
The commissioners have done Just
right. Everybody who has no selfish
grievance says SO. They ought to
have the hearty endorsement of all

A WOMAN'S VIEW
Real Issues Involved in the Revoca
ton of Brattleboro's Licenses.

ton of Brattleboro's Licenses.
The recent action of the commits
sioners in revoking the licenses OF
holders who had sold liquor to minors
! has disturbed and dissatisfied us most
uncomfortably. We are not used to
having laws against liquor selling en-
forced, except, now and then, apologet-
ically; there are among the sellers a
number of good fellows whom every
body likes and whom nobody wants to
see in trouble; We do not want the no.
tells closed and we want licenses in
operation in them: We feel sure that
the revoking of the licenses will hurt
our village business and it is very
great inconvenience 10 us personally.
But this is pure selfishness. The
difficulties of the liquor sellers, the
business loss to the town, the incon-
venience to ourselves, are temporary
conditions and will soon pass away
The great questions involved in this
matter are the wholesome discipline of
respected law or the alternative of
growing lawlessness; and these affect
the welfare of the whole state and in
fiuence everlastingly the character of
this community for good or bad. as we
may decide between them.
We all know quite well that some
of our license holders have been selling
Illegally. We do NOT blame them very
much. They have all been educated
by public conditions to that sort of
thing and we expect 1t of them. Those
of us who drink, but who come under
the classes prescribed by the new law.
expect them to sell 1t to us, Just the
same and we feel injured If they will
not. The license board has been ac-
cused of want of tact and Judgment
in its handling of these cases. The
law defines all rights and privileges
very well. The commissioners simply
have to know their duty. Tact and
Judgment are most needed by the SELL
ers, by the parents of minors and by
us who buy. We have long been COM
planning loudly that it was impossible
to get liquor laws enforced. When
this license law was passed we all
vowed it could and should be enforced.
We especially urged upon the commits
sioners the duty of strict enforcement |
They have done just right in not hunt !
Ing around. according to precedent. for |
some loophole to squeeze out of-some
way OF moderating or turning aside |
he plain penalty of the law. 1t hurts |
but it will do us good. 1t is a little |
eaven of needed discipline for the |
state and 1t will work not only respect |
or the license law but respect for all |
aw. We have been pardoning muir
ierers and all sorts of criminals ''by

iulgence is not justified in the record

Respect of the law is at a low ebb

lition. Of course We all do wrong
