If a Christmas Wish Came True.

William Dean Howells Christmas
story for children which he named
Christmas Every Day, and which has a
brand-new dress this year of holly-red,
can be retold in fashion that will make
a capital bed-tim story for Christmas
night, when little people sigh that the
dav is over. Once there was a little girl
who climbed up on fathers knee and
whispered in his ear, 81 wish it might be
Christmas every day instead of only
once a year." Now father knew that
this wouldn't do at all, but would be
really very bad indeed and probably
spoil Christmas entirely, and he thought
and thought, and wondered how he
could make little daughter know it too,
Then he remembered about another
little girl who wished the very same wish
and fairy made it come true, and SO he
told his little girl all about it i'll a story.
The little girl that the fairy gave her
wish to had a beautiful time Just Tor a
bit of while, but the dolls kept coming
that you conldn't remember the faces OF,
and the toys that you got tired playing
with, and the books that you couldn't
have time to look at, and the candies
that pretty soon got much too sweet,
and the stocking always full of the same
things, and everybody saving, Christ
mas, Christmas" and hardly another
word, and nothing a surprise any more,
until there never was little girl who
was more perfectly miserable the whole
day long. And the worst of it was that
the little girl began to hate Christmas,
and just begged the fairy to undo her
wish, and the fairy did, and so it got
back to being Christmas for just one day
every year, the same as always. And
the little girl was so happy she said she
would never wish for it to be Christmas
every day again. Then little daughter
who had listened very hard, only with &
great many questions in between, sale
she never would, either And that is
why it is never Christmas every day.

School Notes.

The children in the sixth grade of the
Union School gave a very pleasing en-
tertainment on Friday afternoon. The
program consisted of songs and recita-
tions, ending with little play entitled
Christmas Eve at Mother Hubbard's, -
given by ten little girls.
Santa Claus and the various char.
acters of Mother Goose were represented
in a very clever manner, all taking a
lively interest in the occasion, especially
those representing boys, who were quite
true to life with their hands in their
pockets their hats on one side. The
songs by Bo-Peep, Boy Blue and Simple
Simon and Jack were especially enjoyed.
The cast of characters was as follows:
Mother Hubbard, Shirley Mcdonald.
Boy Blue, Leslie Cady.
Simple Simon, Violet Mccullough.
Jack Horner, Helen Ross.
Mistress Mary, Bertha Robinson.
Bo-Peep, Mary Carpenter.
Miss Muflett. Charlotte Berry.
lack, Gertrude Cramton.
jill, Dorothy Adams.
Santa Claus, Charlotte Bundy.
At the close of the play the children OF
Mother Goose assisted Santa Claus in
distributing Christmas packages among
teachers and pupils.

Exceeded the Bounds of Deceney.

Honest and pertinent criticism is with
in the constitutional privilege of the
humblest citizen. II is, however, time to
call a halt when the Brattleboro Re-
former publishes an article which for
abusive defamation of our legislature
surpasses anything we ever heard, read,
or thought Of If there is no law now,
there ought to be a law to punish the
use OF the following language in refer
ence to the General Assembly of Yer
mont: "reubenescent law thinkers" pie
eyed seraphs of legislative wisdom and
virtue, "a bunch of slant-browed COW
chambermaids" The press of the state
strenuously urged the bill to punish a
person who should impose upon them by
procuring the publication of fake news,
and that bill is a good one, Can the
press OF the state. gentlemen, afford by
its silence to lend approval to the low
vtuperation and a use which the Re
former has made current Essex County

"The percentage of trained teachers in
Vermont" says State Superintendent
Stone, lis the lowest in New England
and the standards are the lowest "
This leads the Barre Times to ask:
Gould any more sweeping arraignment
of a vital element in our system of pub
lie instruction be made?" The state
ment coming from even so high an
authority as the state superintendent
may well be questioned. The view
point of trained teachers" changes
nightly with different individuals.
Experience too frequently counts less
with many so-called educational
leader than the strained curriculum of a
protested training school. The state
continues to supply other states with
first class teachers, and it can he said
safely that large percentage of them
had their training in the broadest
curriculum of all schools-that of sue
cessful experience. Vermont Journal.

In these days when casualties that at
tract most attention and excite most in
terest are due to wild automobile driv-
ing or the collapsing Of airships, some
how, plain tale of an old fashioned ac-
cident appears Of infrequent occurrence.
One such occurred in Vermont the other
day when a Wealthy Danville farmer, E.
M. Webster, was gored to death by a
bull. The details OF Mr.. Webster's hor-
rible death are too narrowing tor recital,
but, in it, the lesson of the fatal trend OF
circumstance is the same as of old. To
be thrown many feet from an ungovern-
able automobile and killed. or. to drop
through the air to be crushed into lite
less mass, are freaks of fate against
which we all hope to be sateguarded.
Horrible as such casualties are, they are
not comparable however with the death
suffered by the Danville farmer Bur
lington Clipper.

ton that now find home there simply
because the state has provided no other
place for them to go, and to cause those
children to associate with and become
identified in the public mind with other
children of a depraved or criminal
nature and record during their years OF
character formation and growth.
1t has protested against this before
and it will continue to do so on occasion
until the practice sstopped and Vermont
lawmakers find some way for the state
to take care of these children as they
should be cared for. AS it is now, a
graduate of this school, no matter how
comparatively innocent his record, is
sent out into the world with the faint
of prison record on his name. 1t is
not right St. Adams Messenger.

Legislative Notes.

The developments of the past week
leave no room TO doubt that Harland
b. Howe of ST. Iohnsbury is the floor
manager of the House of Representa-
tives. Not another member of the House
could have secured the passage of so
many bills against adverse reports from
the committees. An adverse report
means nothing to Howe. If he believes
the bill ought to be killed or passed he
takes a hand in the fray and nearly
always comes out at the head of hand
some majority.
There are two kinds of influential
MEMBERSHIP speaking member and the
silent member. The silent member never
gets his just share of the credit because
he is not publicly proclaimed and his
coming is not announced. He does his
work in the committee room and his
influence is determined wholly by his
business ability and the Judgment with
which he acts. G. A. Drew of Barton is
a silent member who on more than one
occasion has impressed his fellow COM
mittee men by his keen insight into the
affairs of the state. His Judgment is
often sought by the leaders of the
House He is close to the Governor and
is often called into the speakers office
Mr.. Drew's ability and tearles sness were
known early in the session and he was
placed upon two of the most important
committees of the House, that of Ways
and Means and that on Appropriations
No other man in the House has been on
two more important committees.
Allyn of Charleston got in some good
work against the bill to compel the
teaching of temperance in the public
schools. The discussion was proceeding
with vigor when Mr.. Allyn arose and
stated that he believed the bill was not
drawn in the interests of temperance,
but in the interests of a certain school
book publishing concern in Boston. He
then showed that the proposed course of
study would result in book order of
$4,000. The bill was promptly killed,
The Joke is on Allyn to some extent 1t
soon appeared that very fair looking
young lady had been lobbying for this
bill for several days and that she was
only waiting to take the order for the
new books. After Allyn had killed the
bill she sent note to him asking him to
meet her in the reception room. He
went He said the reception he got
made him think of home.

Honest Goods.

A Rutland young man who "baches"
it is very fond OF apples and put in a
barrel in his room for winter consump-
ton. They were extraordinary nice
apples and he bought them from an ex-
traordinary nice looking farmer of West
Rutland at an extraordinary price few
weeks ago. He has eaten off the top
layers of the barrel and he says he is re-
minded of little couplet his mother used
to recte:

No Place for Him.


"The Vermont industrial school at
Vergennes is one of the best in the
state and is doing a great work
Among the latest arrivals was a seven
year-old boy from Burlington who came
all alone His father and mother were
both dead and he had heard that the
school was good place to learn to do
things and he started out alone. He
was taken in and is being provided with
good home and is already learning to
do things. = Burlington Clipper.
But that boy does not belong in the
state industrial school which title, by
the way, is but a statutory euphemism
for reform school. He belongs in an
orphan asylum or some similar institu-
ton, and it is a pity that the great
state of Vermont that owes no man a
penny should not be able or willing to
provide some other home for such
brave little waits as he.
The Messenger is very proud of the
state industrial school at Vergennes. 1t
believes it is approaching the lines of
model institution in many ways. 1t
believes its administration is conhded to
wise and public spirited men that are
giving splendid service, not as a civic or
political duty merely, but because their
hearts are touched by the wretchedness
and misery that the good work of such a
noble institution helps to cure.
At the same time this paper insists
that the state industrial school at Yer
gennes is no place for a boy or girl that
has not been committed to it's keeping
by the sentence of court for the reform
of vicious or criminal tendencies and
habits. 1t does not believe it is right to
send a certain class of unfortunate
children that are not charged with
particular wrong-doing to that institu-

PRESS COMMENT.
The Christmas Spirit.

Christmas is the season of kindness,
for Christmas celebrates the coming of
Christ into the world, and the heart of
the Christ message is love-love ex-
pressing itself in homely channels of
friendliness and good will, love that
"suffereth long and is kind If we have
kindly emotions, let them have their
way and blossom into thoughts and
kindly deeds. Let the free child spirit
OF open hearted friendliness prevail. For
this is the child's festival, celebrating the
birth Of child, the wonderful Giver who
gave Himself for mankind.
Let us carry the Christmas spirit
through all the following days that
come and go with all their measure
of care or pain or pleasure, and bear
in our hearts the inspiration and hope
of the blessed Christmas festival of love,
hearing ever ringing above the sounds OF
earth and sense, the song of angels
heralding in the birth of the Saviour OF
mankind.-[Southern Vermont Mirror.
