DEER SHOOTING SEASON

The seventh season of deer hunt
ing in Vermont opens October %
and the usual number, perhaps
more, of sportsmen of this village
and vicinity are preparing to take a
vacation of ten days or less about
that time. Reports from some of
the hunting grounds up in the
Green mountains are that there are
fewer signs of game than ever; that
only one deer is seen now where
half dozen could be found at this
time last year. One hunter who has
just been looking over the ground
in Shrewsbury, Plymouth and that
vicinity, returned much discouraged
by what he saw, or didn't see, and
by what he was told by the people
up that way as to the shyness and
scarcity of deer. Other hunters dis
agree with him, however, and say
the deer are shy enough, but that
enough will be found when hunting
begins to equal last years State re-
cord of over seven hundred killed.
Around Woodstock and neighboring
villages more deer than ever have
been seen this fall. One Church hill
farmer has had quite regular visits
from several deer, and up at Cloud
land farm five were seen a few days

PUBLIC SCHOOL POINTERS

..The Public School System Near
the Breaking Point. That was the
heading of a chapter in the Brooklyn
Eagle by a public school principal. IL
gave the views of college presidents
Draper, Jordon and Schuman.
President Andrew 5. Draper, Of
Urbana, ILL.,, was the most emphatic
on the line. What is breaking the
schools? Their friends within with
their humbuggery and their foes with
ont with their espouses. Henry
Clews. the New York banker, says
the schools unfit boy for the work
of life. In this he echoes the finding
of the old French philosopher, Mon
taigue, who said of the school offshoot
--'' there Is nothing living so unfit for
employment.
Admiral Bob Evans, upon seeing
the imbeciles offered him at Boston.
said Il almost had in my heart the
hope that every high school would
burn to the ground and every boy and
girl would be compelled to work with
their hands to make living, as their
parents did before them. Rabbi
Hirch, of Chicago, says of the schools
that the moral balance is lacking and
that without it education is not only
failure, but too often an evil sue
cess. Judge Fenton, of Boston, has
been disguised with literate criminals
that have been brought before him,
delivers himself accordingly and con-
cludes Education is ready for a
complete revolution.
Edward Box tells his million of sub
scribers every month that of all the
institutions that deal with children,
the pbulic schools are the most faulty,
the most unintelligent, and the most
cruel. Principal William K. Watt, of
Chicago, has been giving the schools
terrible scoring. He says Hosts
of public schoolschildren are killed Off
by school anxieties and agitation, and
many others are crippled for life. =
He sustains Edward Box, who said
90, 600 were killed yearly and double
as many more injured more or less
for life. Herbert Spencer's friends in
England are organized for total public
shcool abolition.
Here are few of the problems
that the counterfeit public school edu
cation has confronted us with-labOr,
socialist, negro, farm abandonment,
servant, tramp, liquor, unemployed,
divorce, eyesight, Juvenile, bribery,
pure food In hundreds of articles /
have shown the public schools rela-
tion to all these dire problems. They
increase while the schools stand.

London, July %. The prohibition
imposed BY The Hague Conference
upon the discharge of aerial torpedoes
from balloons or flying machines will
expire BY limitation tomorrow.
English military and naval experts
are now specializing on the possibility
Of either Of the belligerants in the
Far East embracing the opportunity
70 add new terrors TO the warfare in
Manchuria. It is known that both the
besiegers and the besieged at Port
Arthur are supplied with observation
balloons which might easily be con-
yerted into engines of deadly destruc-
ton.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
that the powers represented at The
Hague Conference, through their mill
itary delegates, managed TO reach an
agreement upon rules governing war.
and this particular section was bitter
" fought over, although it is one of
the few which the British and United
States governments accepted without
reservation. To make easier the
reaching of an agreement as TO the use
of aerial warships it was determined
that the rule should be tried for per-
i0d of five years, and it is this period
which expires tomorrow and leaves
the fighting nations free to use aerial
topredoes. flying machines and dirigi-
BILE balloons without violation of the
rules of war.

While the keen interest manifested

victor over such boys as AtteI, IAN

given the critics here high opinion
of his fighting ability.
While Hanlon is a fayorite in the

the opinion that he will find no easy
mark in Nelson Ever since the
match was made both fighters have
been training faithfully and the result
is that they appear to be in shape to
