Dangers That Beset the Amer
lean Fishing Smacks
WHEN THE FOG COMES
MANY A BOAT RUN DOWN BY BIG
STEAMSHIPS.
The Race for the Christmas Fare of
Fish''-Ever a Gamble
With Death.

Written for The Evening Star by julius Muller.
Twelve days before Christmas, 200 miles
east by north from where Cape Sable's
house and Flagstaff look out on the dead
mems sea, and a feecy fog lying thick and
endless over all the rolling ocean from one
end of the Grand Banks to the other.
In it, within radius of forty miles, each
invisible to the rest a fleet of more than
100 sail, pitching to anchor and each one
praying for the gray ghosts of the Banks to
dissolve that they may hurry their work for
the Christmas fare of fish.
Think, tink! Sphinx, sphinx Dong, dong!
Boom, BOOM it rings from every quarter,
from miles away and close abeam-the hun
dred warning cries of the anchored vessels,
as each with bell and horn calls out in
deep-sea language, "A fisherman! A fisher
man. that the speeding steamships, east
and west bound across the foggy shoals,
shall step aside in their fight.
From far away, infinitely far away, in
fnitely mournful and infinitely soft, steals
a sound where the swirled fog smokes it's
thickest. Fainter than all the warning

Waiting for the Unseen.
So, between the measured strokes of The
bells and the blasts of the horns. invisible
watchers speculate over fifty fathoms of
green water, and wait for that which they
cannot see.
Thicker swirls the fog, and with every
movement of the glistening deck, new
vapors puff and drift in, till at last men
cannot sense more than a blurred out

"Dor-e-e-e-e!' rings out, thin and far off.
The distant rattle of blocks answers and

Our Schools.

If there is anything which calls
for pride and exultation it is good
schools, they are more of an index
to what a city, county or state are
than any other institution. If we
stand up for good schools and insist
on their maintenance, we are stand
ing up for law and order, for morali-
ty and good government. If q
school is operated as it should be,
all the cardinal virtues arc taught,
all that goes to make up good
patriotic, truth-loving, law-abidlng
citizen is a part Of the daily routine.
We have no fear for the future of
our country when our schools are
all right and we have no reason to
believe that most of them are not
run on the high plan suggested.
We know that the Montpelier
schools are run as they should be
and that the high standard of ex-
cellance attained and kept by them
is due to poinstaklng and patriotic
efforts on the part of teachers back
ed up by the undivided support Of
parents. We have sent out from
our schools this year dozen or
more students who are qualified to
enter any high school in the state
and SUCCESSFULLY carry on the work
laid out.
They can enter the high school,
not because someone has made it
easy for them to pass the examlna-
ton but because they have come up
to the requirements laid down by
the State Supt. and have done this
through competent teachers.
We are proud Of our schools and
justly SO.
