The problem of human lights solved.
One hundred and sixty times have the

completely under the control of the OPP

distance of twenty-four and onc.ffth

ing this hight averaged triile oyer
thirty.cight miles an hour.
Few inventions have had such trc-
mendous possibilities. Consider, for

WHEN the iealousies, the petty in-
trigues, the meannesses and misunder.
standings in life assail you, rise above
them. BE like lighthouse that illum-
ines and beautiiies the snarling, swash-
ing waves of the storm that threaten
it, that seek to undermine it and try to
wash over it. This is conquest. When
the chance to win fame, wealth, success
or the attainment of your hearts desire
by sacrifice of honor or principle, comes
to you, and it does not effect you long
enough to even seem a temptation, YOU
have been victor. That, too, is con-
quest. And conquest is a part of the
royal road to happiness.

CONCERNING FRIENDSHIP.

\ certain old book which still circu.
lates more extensively in the homes of
the people thanany other and which is
noted for the wisdom and truth of its
statements, declares that "he who
would have friends must show himself
friendly" The truth of this declara.
tion has been proven by the experiences
OF men and women through the pass.
ing centuries,
There is another truth in the same
connection He who would never be
without friends must not forget to add
to their number with the passing years.
He must keep young heart within his
breast, must be Interested in men and
their movements and must show that
inicrcs, by his department toward
others, In this world men are mortal.
We are admonished by the events of
life that our best and dearest friends
must pass on, leaving us behind for a
little while, and apt to be little lonely
unless we can excite the interest and
VIII the friendship of those who have
more recently come in contact with
our lives.
1t is frequently said that there are no
friends like the old friends. There is
much truth in the saying. Those who
began life with us, or, perhaps, are u
little older, and with whom our associ-
atiOns have been of the most intimate
confidential character, can never be
replaced. After the long silence comes
to them we feel lonely. We lack the
assistance, the counsel and advice, the
sympathetic association which began
In young manhood, or even in boyhooi,
and continued for many years. Tie
old friends can never be forgotten
Their memories will ever remain bright
and radiant in the inner chamber, where
our most sacred emotions and feelings
are treasured.
Yet the new friends must also be
made il we would not come to an old
age of loneliness and neglect. And
they are worth cultiyating. Among
the rare pleasures OF life is the oppor.
tuuity OF meeting new people who
prove both interesting and helpful, The
world contains many OF that sort. Be
il our ambition and our fortune to en-
ter into friendly relations with some of
these choice spirits with each passing
year.

VERMONT SCHOOLS
COST Sl.3OS, S24.3O.
State Supt, Stone Finds Also That 1t
Takes sls9.ss Week and $2s7.51
Per Pupil.

State Superintendent Of Education
Mason s. Stone OF Montpelier has just
completed the data for his biennial re-
port to the state legislature, and some
interesting figures are now at hand.
Supt. Stone finds that the average cost
OF the schools of Vermont per week was
Sl6933. The average cost per pupil
was $237.51.
The gross expenditures Of the schools
Of Vermont were Sf,30s .S24.30, and the
total receipts were 81 263,S76.92. The
grand list of the schools is 81 1,s67, ,457.z7,
and the receipts from taxes were $780,,
655.4S. The income from the perma-
nent fund Of $4,000 was not avail
able, but will be next year. Among the
chief items Of expense was that Of teach.
efs, the total of $746,655.63 being paid
for them, while other expenses amounted
to $i,1o6, 6,2S2.67
1t Is interesting to note that the
salaries Of superintendents amounted to
Si9, 1901, and the salaries Of ianitors
S47,2io.35, but the number Of janitors
is probably much in excess OF the super
mtendents, although the figures are not
available.
