a Word to the Teachers.

SCHOOLS have opened and our child
rem are busy learning a whole lot of
things that they will have to unlearn as
soon as they get out into real life says
the Burlington Clipper.
"If they would only learn to punctu-
ate a communication and how to use an
apostrophe in a plural possessive, busy
editors Of 10 years hence would have
much more to be thankful for than we
of today. The immensely of the number
of scholars ~ turned out from our
schools with diploma, who don't know
the use of "A comma and who think
semicolon is a species of appendicitis or
hippOpotamus, is appalling.
Dear teachers, make a good resou-
ton this term. Don't let pupil escape
into the next room till you have ground
ed him in the ordinary knowledge that
is used every day. If he falls down on
the 10Th problem of Euclid fergit it,
but if he doesn't cultivate a close &C
quaintance with the rules of writing a
PLAIN communication, just whale 1t into
him.
1.-The communications that come to
this office from teachers themselves
with dashes used for periods, commas
for semicolons and the apostrophe in
the wrong place have added 10 years to
the age of the correspondence editor
Now dash means hiatus or it means
unspeakable blanks that bad men fill in
in with swear words. 1t doesn't mean
period any more than pie means a
doughnut
Lets have the children thoroughly
learn the essential things which they
will need in the common duties of a
practical world and let the high sound
ing subjects on the curriculum go
hang"

the schoolbooks, especially in commu-
mites like Vermont, where, in the ma
jority of cases, the text books are
selected by persons who have not the
smallest competency for the task. 1t is,
however, one of the many penalties we
pay for the departure from the prin-
ciples of the founders of this nation and
from common sense ideas. All that this
country or any country owes to its
children is instruction in the rudi-
ments-the three Rs. If anything more
than this is desirable or necessary, let
it be left to private enterprise. This was
the dominant principle for the first hun
dred years of our history. After the
pupil had acquired the rudiments, if
higher education was desired he was
sent to the academy and thence to the
colege-in each institution the individ-
ual and not the state paying the freight.
But now the patient, much-enduring
public taxes itself for the support of the
high school, at which comparatively few
of its children ever graduate and the
academy has all but disappeared from
the face of the earth. 1t is a good deal
to look after and good deal to pay for.
Abuse is easy and correction difficult.

The National for September.

Sparkling and delightful is Ben Blows
sketch, The Ladies of the Worlds
Fair" illustrated with portraits of nine
teen of the twenty-five members of the
board of lady managers. Wittily and
sympathetically, in their own words, he
depicts the woman real estate agent, the
woman banker, the woman promoter,
the woman politician and other inter-
esting modern types represented in the
group of women chosen from all Amer
lea to represent the social side of the
Worlds Fair.
Joe Mitchell Chapple fills forty pages
with Worlds Fair gossip-of art, of in
dustry, of amusement and of picturesque
personalities, illustrating his letter with
scores of odd and attractive pictures.
The special articles of the number
range from Poultney Bigelows highly
significant appeal for real national
militia of 10000 men, to Julia Adams
Powelrs "Woods and Fields in Late
Summer" New photographs of Queen
Alexandria and her pet dogs, by the
royal photographer, are among the many
pictorial features of the number. The
leading character study is of Helen Kel-
Ter, the famous blind, deaf and dumb
'girl, who has just graduated from Rad
cliffe college with the degree of a. b.
The Home department contains a
wealth of helpful suggestions given by
twenty American housewives who have
tested and proved their efficiency; it
offers also several brief, bright, honey
essays and poems.

Readins, Writing, Arith m etic.

The question of frills in our public
schools is brought up again by the adj
dress of Whitlaw Reid at the recent
convocation of the board of regents of
New York, says the Free Press. Mr..
Reid strongly criticised some of the
modern methods of education. He eX-
pressed the opinion that the schools
were being used as field for pedagogic
experimentation at the expense of a
practical education for those attending
them. Mr.. Reid evidently holds to the
old-fashioned belief that the public
schools are primarily for the purpose of
teaching the three Rs thoroughly, for he
said: Pupils should learn, learn till
they really know, how to read, write
and cipher. Until you make sure of that,
let us have fewer frills."
The New York Times approves of
Mr.. Reds ideas. 1t says, at is refresh
ing to find the chancellor of the univer-
sity speaking out so strongly against the
efforts to convert the study even of the
three Rs into something rich and
strange. The writing of children, it
says, should he legible rather than, OBJ
scurely elegant. Their spelling should
be that accepted by the. English speak
ing world, not what the reformers think
it ought to accept or even believe it is
going to accept Similarly, their arith-
metic should be that accepted by the
world and should contain no fads, not
even the metric fad"
This is all very well, but it is almost
impossible to keep fads and frills out of

SECOND CLASS.
Registered Morgan mare
a Lonq Passionate.

The forty years pastorate of the Rev
erend Doctor Hazen of the Mortified
Congregational church, soon to be closed
is remarkable for several things, saws the
Barre Telegram. The average length
of the stay of the preacher of the various
denominations in the state will not ex-
coed three years, bnt he remained more
than 10 times that. Doctor Hazen has also
obtained a strong hold upon the entire
community; regardless of creed, all de-
light to do him honor. Further, he has
entered into the entire life of the
town and state and has been as faithful
in his civic as in his religious duties.
Yet again, his long pastorate has made
him Nestor among the preachers of
central Vermont, and he is generally
reverenced by his brethren of an de-
nominations. May Doctor Hazen long
be spared to enjoy the fruits of "a well
spent life, the regard of his fellow cih-
zens, and the love of his parishioners
in whose midst he is still to dwell

just as surely Wall Street foretold the

two years, and is now telling of coming
prosperity and good times:

Exchange during the past week reached
total of S29,GS6,9 800, par value, being
an average of nearly $G,000,000 a day for
the five-day market, How this COM

the corresponding week in the last three
