What Darling is Doing.

John E. Darling, that veteran fighter
in any good cause, is getting after the
officials of the street railways in Spring
field, where the redoubtable John lives,
because of the poor ventilation, or lack
of ventilation, in its cars. Mr.. Darling
can write as forcible English as he can
talk and that is pretty fair-and it is a
safe wager that if anyone car, make
the railway officials sit up and take
notice he is the gentleman. When he
gets through in Springfield, it he is
looking for more worlds to conquer, let
him come to Boston and keep up the
good work. His letter to the Spring
field Union is caustic, educational,
pointed and perfectly plain.-The Her
aid of Truth, Boston.

schools throughout the town are using
the same text books and the pupils in
each grade are virtually studying the
same lesson from day to day. Inc
ninth grade pupils are given the same
examination on the same day and are
therefore prepared alike for entering
High school on the same basis. At the
close of the schools last spring, CLASS
of SO was given diplomas. Doubtless
this plan may be carried on this year,
as there are 10 or - pupils who VIII
complete the ninth grade work. They
have been doing good work and are
anxiously awaiting the examination:
The High school was reorganlZed last
spring and has also been doing good
work, but owing to lack of funds only
one teacher could be employed, and as
there was no laboratory in connection,
the school was graded as b-standardl
school. 1t is hoped that the good
people of the town will find it their
duty and pleasure to raise sufficient
means to maintain a standard grade
school. We have fine school building
of which all are proud. 1t will simply
be disgrace to the town if we do not
maintain a school of standard grade:

home in two weeks and will sail from

of Burnham only, but since their grad

literature and probing such text books
as wonld best fit them for the foreign
service, an object they have had in

women are fine types of the robust
New England women and they are Or

schools of this town and both are ready
to rough it while in the Far East.
Statistics show that women cannot
withstand the change of climate for

in the spring" Although the mud was
eight inches deep when he began work
he declares that within three hours
teams We're passing over this stretch of
road on trot, without burying hoof
of wheel rim. that the road remained in
that condition all through the summer.
MIR. SaubOrn'S success with this piece
of road so impressed the nighborhOod
tlat they instructed him to take charge
of an adjoining piece OF road, which he
did. The change produced resulted in
his being put in charge of II miles OF
road the next year. liz his report Of
the work done on the IN miles of road
in 1907 he declares that with the split
log drag lie put the II miles Of road in
better condition than it had ever been
known to be for % years at the same
season of the year. Old residents de-
cl&red that the road was better all
through the summer season than ii
was ever known to be before and Mr.
SanbOrn'S statement shows that he
spent only II per cent. of the money
that had been annually spent before in
maintaining the same roads. This
road building Dy Mr.. Sanborn with the
cheapest up to So per mile for the most
expensive. The remarkable fact about
it was that the cheapest miles are i'm
Mr.. Sanborns opinion the best and ic
is confident that the entire mileage can
be managed the second year for much
less cost than the first year, while a
the same time il will be in vastly i'm
proved condition as compared with the
first year. The proof that Mr.. Sanborn
has been doing what ne says he has
and giving satisfaction as we'll is
found in the fact that his town has CIV

year"
Mr. King stated to q Journal reporter

learn all about the hest methods of
