Why Not an Alumni Association?


To Prof. William B. Clark, Baltimore
Nd, to Prof Williston Walker, New
Haven, Conn, to Judge Robb, Wash
ington, D. c., to Ora E. Butterfeld, Esq,
Detroit, Mich, to Clifton l.. Sherman,
Hartford, Conn, to many Others up and
down this broad land, to the class of
'SS, to hundreds of loyal sons and
daughters of the old High school living
in Brattleboro, and particularly to
graduates of the last few years (for
they have not broken the ties that bind
them to the town and their enthusiasm
is the greater).
Greeting:-Why don't we have an
alumni association? There used to be
an organization of the kind but it has
not held a meeting for a number of
years. 1t is the desire of a good many
people in Brattleboro that our High
school shall be one of the best in New
England. An alumni association is a
source of great strength to any school.
Now that the present senior class has
decided to make trip to Washington in
the snring vacation and give up the re-
ception Friday night of commencement
week, why ism t it possible to hold a
reunion of the alumni association on
that night9 A preliminary meeting
could be held in May and plans laid
for perfecting such an organization as
is here proposed If you are interested
enough in this idea The Dial will gladly
publish your letter in its alumni depart
ment.

Nehs of Vermont
VERMONT A HI OF A PLACE.
Would Be If Papers Advice to Legis-
lature Were Followed.

The local papers are full of advice TO
our legislators and among these calls
find one asking that 1.-THE large sum
mer hotels be allowed TO sell rum as
an indueement to get rum drinkers to
patronize them. Why not also allow
the patrons of Charge hotels TO dis
obey our auto laws, our fish and game
laws, to run gambling games, etc By
so doing we could undoubtedly coax
into our state choice lot of drunkards,
gamblers, and black legs generally to
destroy our peace and dignity, to cor
rupt the morals of our people and make
old Vermont hi of place. We have
had some of il here the last season,
drunken auto drivers running the roads
nights and Sundays at forty miles an
hour; but the fact that they were IL
able to fine was little unpleasant to
some of them; so the prohibition pig
hotelp keepers who vote always Tor no
rum, no license, no local option, want
the privilege to fill up the drivers with
rum the same as they do the tanks
with gasoline But the small hotels,
the average house holder, the farmer,
and the poor laborer must 90 dry, keep
sober. dodge the ego devils, and pay
the taxes. Truly this must be the con,
summation of cheek; but the law would
be in line with lots of other Vermont
laws. Keep your eyes on the legisla'
ture and your cider barrel full if you
want to be in the swim, or pay 81
dav for board at "big summer ho-
tel" and you can buy rum, whisky, ale,
etc. Only your poverty and being a
native Vermonter may exclude you

Forest COMMISSIONER Report

The report of Forest Commissioner Ernes
Hitchcock states that for the past year "a
fires were reported with total damage tc
property of only a little over $4,000. Nc
attempt was made to estimate the indirect
damage done by these fires to the soil and
their effect on future growth. This loss was
only about per cent Of the loss in 1908
''the only other year for which I have any
KNOWLEDGE of an attempt to estimate Yer
mont's loss from forest fires
The Importance Of the forestry problem
to Vermont can hardly be overstated. Out
of total land surface Of 5.s46. 900 acres
nearly four millions are of little value ex-
cent to produce wood and timber. Properly
handled these waste lands should produce
for the people of the state net income Of
from one to two dollars per acre per ye"r
Under present conditions much of it is pro
ducing nothing
Mr. Hitchcock recommends the securing
of more definite knowledge of forest re-
