GARBLING.

Commenting recently on Hon. j. A.
DeBoer's letter declining to be a can
didate for the governorshlp, the Watch
man and journal said:
If Mr.. DeBoer could be made Gov
ernor for ten years, given carte
blanche in the matter of admlnistra-
ton of the business of the office, under
wise laws and wholesome restrictions,
allowed the same freedom lie has in
the administration of the affairs of the
National Life Insurance Co., hedge
hog statesmen restrained at home, be-
You'd reach of interfering, of interpos-
ing a resisting voice or vote or frac-
uious objections, at the end of that
period there would unquestionably ap-
pear the New Vermont which at the
present time, in the current phrase,
is mer ly a creation of rhetoric, vi
sion rising on the rapt sight of pipe
dreamers, "
In an article entitled "Greater Ver-
mont" the Enosburg Standard some-
what sharply criticised Mr.. DeBoer S
pronouncsnents on a "Greater Ver-
mont, i" or "New Vermont" at the
conclusion saying:
"And we join most heartily with
the sentiment of the Montpelier Jour
nal in recent editorial in which it
says: The New Vermont which, al
the present time, in the current phrase,
is merely creation of rhetoric, a
vision rising on the rapt sight of pipe
dreamers,
Taken ont of its connection the
foregoing is employed for purpose
the journal does not sanction. The

article in the Vermonter appears to be
something hoped for, or yearned for,
rather than the existent reality of the
"pipe dreamer.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS

Another State has abolished che
district system and adopted the town
system of schools. On the LIST day of
January Rhode Island will put into
effect a school system much like Yer
mont's in its general scheme. Thus
progress is made. The district school
system was great institution when
inaugurated and through its workings
thousands of the youth of Vermont
received an elementary education of
great value. But the district school
had to give place to new conditions
and new methods. 1t was productive
of inequality, for while in some dis
tricts, schools of high grade of excel
lence. with we'll educated and we'll
others the schools were but little more
than a name. The sparsely settled
and poorer localities could not keep
up with the more prosperous and pop
ulous sections. The town system does
much to obyiate the difficulties of
varying conditions and the attendant
development in the methods of super
intendence adds to the betterment, and
in the latter direction especially there
is still great deal more to be done.
The superintendent of schools has
been and still is in many towns a
very useless official who makes fixed
number OF visits Of nominal length
and is paid fixed and inconsiderable
salary. This is not as it should be.
The school superintendent should be,
and in some cases is, a great help in
the educational work through direc-
ton, suggestion, and assistance given
the teachers. New Hampshire is in
adance of Vermont in this respect, for,
by law passed few years ago, small
towns are encouraged to join for the
purpose of hiring superintendents of
ability, special training, and exper-
fence as teachers. The results have
been of great profit to the cause of ed
ucation in the State. Vermont may
we'll consider the question and see if
some such law would not be we'll for
her conditions.

FOREST RESERVATIONS.

Senator Gallinger's bill.for the pur-
chase of a forest reserve in the White
Mountains is welcomed as an evidence
of increasing interest in the subject,
though Congress may ask why New
Hampshire does not preserve its own
famous forest, as New York is doing
with the Adirondacks. The bill calls
for an appropriation of 50, 600, 600 and
provides for the purchase of 1000, 600
acres.
The Senate committee on forest re-
servations, which will pass on Senator
Gallinger's bill, has also under con-
sideration the proposed Appalachian
forest reserve in Virginia, Tennessee
and North Carolina, which contem-
plates the acquisition of 1900, 600
acres. Senator Depew has spoken of
this as a "beneficent enterprise which
will at the same time be self-sustain-
ing and source of everlasting revenue
to the government.
The foes of the forest are many -
fire. the lumberman, the pulp mill,
even tho Christmas tree industry,
which denudes the young growths of
spruce at the demand of Yuletide sen.
timent. Prof. Fernow told the AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Science that at the present rate of
consumption the nations timber sup
ply would be exhausted within thirty
years.
This devastation means in it's final
result the summer drying of many
water-courses, the removal of the
check which prevents them at other
times from developing into torrents,
and the transformation of agricultural
regions into deserts. To check the
waste is public duty. New York

GOODBYE, OLD YEAR.

We laughed with you, we chaffed
with you,
The glass of fun we quaffed with you,
While sitting side by side.
You made life bright,
Put ont of sight
The griefs we had to- hide.
We danced with you, we pranced
with you,
While others less entranced with you
Just slowly plodded on.
You lent hand
At all we planned.
We miss you, now you re gone.
We dined with you, we pinned with
you,
And many, too, oft wined with you,
Old Year, who went so fast.
You were friend
Clear to the end.
Your joys and woes are past.
We sighed with you, we cried with
you,
And some, they almost died with you.
IT'S hard to say goodbye
Your heart was warm
Through sun and storm.
| We grieve that you should die.
