Hal r, 2:oe IA.
1t is not often that we have the pleas
ure of looking over horse in our section
with race record of 2 :064, and l do not
recall any such that have been owned in
or around Middlebury until Mr.. L. o..
Allen brought in Hal R. from the recent
Old Glory sale in New York.
Hal R. is a beautiful brown horse of
the Morgan type, 151a hands with best
of feet and legs, sired by Hal B., 1904,
out of Kittie r. by st. Omar, son of Blue
Bell AS st. Omar's dam is by Legal Ten
der, son of Davy Crockett (Moody's)
there is good enough reason for Hal R.
to resemble the Morgans, as he is prac-
tically an inbred Morgan. Hal R. has
had a pretty successful racing career he
started out in 1905 in the 2:17 class and
finished up the season with mark of
2:11i starting in II races, being first three
times, second four times, fourth three
times and once behind the money in
1907 he started in II races, winning five
firsts, three seconds. two thirds and
once behind the money, coming home
with a record of 2:074.
| In 1908 he started at various places,
among them at indianapolis in the 9 :07
class, where he won over a good field,
getting mark of 2:064, his present rec
ord. Hal r. should be great addition
to the stallion ranks of Vermont, and
Mr.. Allen should receive the hearty sup
port of the breeders of fast horses in our
section.
We have an inquiry this week from
DR.. l.. G. Clayton of central South Caro-
lima for Morgan stallion to weigh eleven
to twelve hundred. Any one having
such should write him with description
and price.

How to Help the School Teacher.

School days are with us again. They
bring much food for thought. 1t is;
we'll that this should be so. Parents
owe a duty to their children as we'll
as children to the parents. Great aid
may be given to the teachers as we'll
as to the children, in having condi-
vacement of the little ones, both in
bodies and minds. Children must be
we'll nourished physically. This is
home duty See to it that the home
conditions and life of the child are
such as will make him most interest
ed and able in his school work. The
Boston Schoolmaster says:
Encourage him to speak respect
fully to his teacher; inquire into his
daily life and the tasks assigned at
school; insist on punctuality and
regularity of attendance, as one ses-
sion away may seriously impede his
progress and may never be made up.
Provide home assistance and encour-
agement as allowed; require him to
go to bed early and arise in season,
eat his breakfast properly, and start
to school clean and with all the neces-
sites for the days work.
Give good, nourishing food, instead
of fancy pastry, cakes and candy and
pickles, which ruin his digestion and
injure his mental activity; insist on
plenty of vigorous exercise in the
open air and proper amount of sleep
in we'll ventilated rooms; make it a
point to know who his companions
are and how he spends his time while
out of your sight.
