thronged with motley crowd of noun
taineers. Rough, uncouth and ignorant;
thoughtful people caught their breath
for minute as they realized that these
people were Vermonters, were their own
neighbors and yet, for all intents andpur-
poses, were as completely pagans as the
natives of Kamschatka.
The Barre Telegram, in commenting
on the recent tragedy in Worcester,
Washington county, says: at empha-
sizes anew the deplorable moral condi-
ton of many of the rural communities
of Vermont. Given a section of country
where the houses are few and far be-
tween, where the educational advantages
are the most limited, where the daily
paper never comes, where the preacher
is an unknown quantity, and you have
all the conditions precedent to barbar-
ism. The slums of our great cities are
no more a menace to civilization than
are some sections of New England which
are slowly but surely returning to bar
barism and paganism.
at may be that the parson-editor of
the Telegram over-rates the danger, but
| two such object-lessons as the Rochester
and Worcester murders cannot be dis
regarded. Something must be done for
the back districts and mountain regions
of Vermont
"Home missionary societies might
look up the matter of establishing more
church services. They might pay men
to look into these conditions and furnish
information as to what they most
need
Life in the mountain districts is gen
orally pretty strenuous. The people
work hard, live meagrely and have gen
orally little time for amusement. The
trouble comes from arrested develop
ment of the mental powers.
"Ihey need more newspapers in the
back towns.
"They need more magazines. Every
effort to improve them ought to carry a
liberal appropriation for readable litera-
ture.
weekly newspapers that might cater
to their local needs, magazines that
!
daily papers saved and sent them by
others better situated, are what they
need.
"The Grange can do great deal for
them. 1t is reaching out for them right
now.
''The church, on which properly de-
wolves such a work, might have it gen.
orally in charge, supplementing these
crying material and mental needs with
the sort of plain religious talk that
would the most readily carry convic-
ton.
The mountain districts of Vermont
cannot safely be neglected an longer. y
Ludlow Tribune.
This is all true. There is work for the
church, the Grange and everybody in
terested in the prosperity of Vermont
and the betterment of humanity right
here in Vermont.
While it is true that the inhabitants OF
the wild, back regions of the State are
not, as a rule, Vermonters but class OF
people that has drifted into the State
from Canada, attracted here by the very
cheapness of these back homes, many OF
them having been abandoned by the ole
New England families, who once LIVED
on them, it is painfully true that theil
, condition calls for immediate action
They cannot be allowed to remain mucl
= longer in ignorance. They must b'
taught that human life is sacred tina
we have laws that must be respected
and they must be helped to become
:. better men and women, and the children
saved from ignorance and vice.

Some Advice to Teachers.

In teaching the facts to the young
the great thing to aim at is not dis
cipline, but interest. Learning should
be a low children should be assisted
forward by attraction in front rather
than coercei by impact from behind.
The greatest care should be taken
never to kill that thirst for knowledge
which is natural to Il child. 1t is a
vic ked thing if a preparatory or any
other SC hool converts an intelligent ana
in1uiring child into a dull and satiated
professional schoolboy or schoolgirl.
The feeling of mastery and growing
power is what more than anything
Conduces to interest and stimulus, not
merely the presentation of interesting
facts: it is the consciousness that effort
is remunerative. and that they are
really getting on. that encourages to
further effort: whereas To feel no re-
suit of all their labors, but to be made
