VERMONT STATE GRANGE.
Dedication Of Morrill, Hall of the Uni.
versity Of Vermont.


The thirty-sixth annual session Of
the Vermont state grange was held at
Burlington this year The secretary's
report showed that the total member
ship of the grange in the state was 49,
327. Thirty-four new oranges had been
organized with 1,700 members during
the year. There are fifteen Pomona
oranges in the state. The total re-
ceipts of the secretary's Office this year
amounted to $4,O49.38.< The treasur-
er's report showed a total of Sc, 500. 10
to the credit Of the grange State
Master G. W. Pierce remarked in his
address that there was a healthy
growth in the membership throughout
the state, and there seems to be uni
versal feeling that the agricultural
class could not afford to remain out of
the Order after recognizing all the
grange has accomplished for the farm
er in social, educational and business
life. He urged the Introduction of the
study Of agriculture in public schools.
He said that there should be an off,
cial reporter from every grange In the
state, that the work might be given
the widest publicity. The grange
stands for honest legislation, and mem
bers should interest themselves more
in public affairs. A special feature of
interest at this meeting was the dedi-
cation of Morrill, hall, a gift of the
state to the agricultural department of
the University of Vermont The state
turned over the dedication of this
building to the grange National Mas
ter Bachelor, Governor Proctor, Pro-
fessor L. II. Bailey and others spoke
at the dedication. G. w. Pierce, state
master, presided.
A long list of resolutions was adopt
ed. The parcels post system was com
mended, better law dealing with
child labor and truancy and more strin-
gent legislation for checking the ex-
portation of Christmas trees were call
ed for, and the teaching of agriculture
and manual training in the public
schools was strongly favored.

GRANGE AS SOCIAL ORDER.
A Query Well Answered by Series OF
Pertinent Questions.

Pertinent Questions.
Occasionally the question of admitting
to the grange certain members of the
community who are not desirable social
ly comes up for discussion Some mem
bers object to the introduction of men
and women of uncouth appearance, bad
manners, ignorant speech and general
nonattractiveness Others are ready to adj
NIT all who apply. VIII you suggest how
far down in the social scale the grange
should go for memberships. W.. Con-
necticut.
Your question is as old as the grange,
as the church, as society, as govern
ment and as the human. family, says
the New York Farmer. AS outside OBJ
servers we can hardly be expected to
answer it definitely for the members
of the grange. We can only suggest
that all the members of your COM
munity must be tolerated by you.
whether they are inside or outside of
the grange. Possibly. as you say, some
Of them are not desirable socially
but If you permit them to learn what
will make them desirable or endurable
socially will not your grange do real
~ noble work by admitting them?
They do the best they know how. If
you enable them to know more they
will be able to do better Once inside
your grange and in contact with you.
will not the uncouth by imitation be-
come less uncouth? Will not their bad
manners lose some of the badness and
be replaced gradually by the better
and pleasanter manners you will show
them? VIII not their awkward speech
be improved by hearing your more cul-
tured speech? Will not those men and
women down in the social scale" feel
an uplift If you admit them to your
grange? Cannot you impart something
of grace, culture. refinement, education
and social regeneration to them with
out losing jot of your own good
qualities? Cannot the grange be made
a powerful social uplifter, purifier, edu-
Gator and renovator? So long as a
single tenant or hired worker In your
community needs or desires to improve
himself or herself by entering your
grange, shall you have done your full
duty until you have extended the
grange hand to him or her?
