Business Principles, as
Applied to Savings Banks

From Essex County Herald
Despite the marvellous growth of

it's extension to the business of a
country savings bank.
But results refute theories, for we
are informed that the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank, during six months ad-
vertising campaign, increased it's
deposits nearly quarter million
dollars.
We have a savings bank in our vii
lage. We cannot, however, withhold
a need of praise for the business
sagacity of ex-Gov. Page in thus
keeping Vermont money in Vermont.
a policy at once patriotic and mu-
tually beneficial.
Printers ink, combined with care
full and square business methods, has
made Hyde Park the hub of the hide
industry, and the same agencies bid
fair to make it widely known as a
center OF savings.

GENERAL NEWS.

III Children Burned to Death Wednes-
day.
III children, possibly more, between
the ages of six and Is, persisted We'd
nesday in a fire that destroyed the
Lakeview public school at Collin
wood, a suburb of Cleveland, C. The dis
a ster was attended by horrors unpal
alleled perhaps by any like calamity.
Scores of children met a terrible
death, while their parents and others
strove in wild frenzy to drag them
from the piled up masses in which
they had formed in their efforts to es-
cape from the burning building. So
tightly had the children becon Q
wedged just inside front and rear,
that not one was disengaged and
saved, and they died before the eyes
of those helpless to rescue them. The
front doors of the schoo- ihouse wei q
locked when the fire started in the
basement and swept up the wooden
stairways and through the building,
| and it is evident that the children
became massed inside in a narrow
passageway before workmen from
the railroad car shops n ear by were
able to break down the doors Tie
rear stairway was so narrow, and the
spread of the fla mes was 80 rapid
that most of the children who tried
to escape that way were quickly in q
jam, from which no human power
could extricate one of them. Penned
in the narrow Railways, jammed up
against doors, that only opened in
ward, the little ones died by fire, by
smoke and beneath the grinding heels
of their panic stricken p laymates.

The Cleveland school h orror again
demonstrates the fact that public
buildings should be thoroughly exam
ined by a competent board with the
express end in view of the safe exit
of the occupants in case of fire. Think
of III little lives crushed, burned and
smothered o1t, when possibly changes
of such SIN all things as the swinging
of the doors out rather than in would
have savsd mlny livss. Tlsre are
many more just such fra traps in our
meeting places aud ,hool-houses and
NO one knows where the next horror
will occur.

SENATOR PROCTOR DEAD.

Vermont's senior senator, Redfeld
Proctor, died at his compartm ents at
the Champlain house in Washin gton
Wednesday afternoon at 1850 O'Clock
after short illness of pneumonia and
resultant heart failure. He has b cen
i'll since the opening of the present
session of congress, but not till Feb
ruary 26th, when he took cold, had he
been considered dangerously sick.
His sons, Gov. F etcher D. Proctor
and Redfield Proctor Jr, with the
other members of his family except
his wife, we're present at the death,
having been summoned several days
before.
The body was brought to Proctor
and the funeral was held there on
Friday afternoon and the body was
inferred there.
Both the senate and house adjourn
ed after having passed resolutions of
respect and elected G delegation from
bo.h bodies to accompany the body
home.
Redfeld Proctor, son of Jabez and
Betsey (Parker) Proctor, was born in
Proctorsville June 1, 1881. He was
graduated from Dartmouth college in
1851, and from the Albany Law school
in 1859. He was admitted to the Yer
mont bar the same year and for two
years practised his profession in the
office of his cousin, Isaac F. Redfield,
at Boston.
Upon the outbreak of the Rebellion
in 1861 he returned to Vermont and
enlisted in the Sd Vt. Vols, being
commissioned lieutenant. He served
on the staff of Gen. "Baldy" Smith
and in October, 1851, twas commits
stoned major in the 9Th Vt. Vols. ant
commanded this regiment at Gettys
burg.
Returning to Vermont, he formed
a law partnership with Wheelock G
Veazey at Rutland. Taking the re
ceivership oe Rutland marble con
Germ in 1879, he became manager O
the Sutherland Falls Marble Co., which
later, through consolidation, becam
the Vermont Marble Co., with Col
Proctor at it's head. This concern ha
become the largest marble compan,
in the world Some years since Red
field Proctor withdrew from the man
agement of the company and wa
succeeded by his son, Fletcher Z
Proctor.
In 1867, Redfeld Proctor repre-
scented his town in the Legislature
and again in 1868. In 1874 he was
state senator; in 1875, lieutenant
governor of Vermont, and in 1877
governor of Vermont.
In 1889, President Harrison ap
pointed him secretary of war, ther
he served with distinction durin

In the death of Senator Redfield
Proctor Vermont loses an able
statesman. For years he has been a
very prominent msmber of the
United States senate, man close to
the hearts of his constituents, man
whose counsel and favor has been
sought and power for good. The
state mourns his loss.

DOES THE PARISH OWN THE
PREACHERS WIFE?

"a paper read before the ministers
meeting at Irasburg recensly.)
I take up this successful subject
with some fear and trembling, know
ing myself incompetent to decide so
vital question or to discuss at any
length theme so broad that rnuh.
could aud ought to be said both in the
affirmative and the negative, real
izing also that whichever side
I take there will be many whose
views upon the subject are positive
and contrary tom7osl. I'D viewer [
trust you will bear with me and rest
assured that no personal thrusts are
intended.
Since this subject was assigned me
I have put the question to preachers,
preachers wives and to parishioners
and am surprised to find the prevail
ing idea to be that the parish does not
own the preachers wife, for I am of
the opinion that at least the real sue
IS of the preacher, aside from his
own conservation depends quite large
ly upon how much his wife feels her
obligation to him, to his parish and
to God.
To be sure the preachers wife has
her own home cares the same as
other women. Her first duty is there.
Her husband serves the public and is
subject to constant and often severe
criticism, he needs her cheer and
sympathy. His work necessitates
constant mental strain which at times
is very exhausting and long drives
between services as well as upon
funeral occasions and calling tours
often cause real physical suffering; he
needs her tender administrations of
comfort even more than those in
other occupations. Her children re-
quire as much care and attention as
other children. Yes, they require
more for it would never do for them
to 60 ragged or dirty even few hours.
They require more than the ordinary
amount of training for more is ex-
pected of them. TIL y g subjected to
the prevailing influence of petting
and fattery on every hand, which
transforms itself into criticism if pro-
per training has been lacking, it will
never answer for them to become
proud or selfish and they must be
taught to be quite impartial in their
likes and dislikes ofpeople and places.
1t is no more the duty of the
preachers wife to entertain strangers
than of others, but as a matter of fact
she is expected to and does. Usually
the strictest economy must be
practiced which adds to her perplexi-
ties. Yes, the preachers wife must
give more than ordinary attention to
her home cares for if the parish does
not own the preachers wife it does
expect her children and home to be
an example of the highest type. How
then can she do parish Workoutside the
home? In the January number of the
Ladies' Home Journal there is ''rule
of three" given for preachers wives
which I think the parish would do
we'll to adopt in the main:
sKeep out of the church kitchen,
Keep out of church begging,
Keep out of the church choir"
In every parish there are those who
are very competent in the church
kitchen, who are willing and glad to
work there, who do not feel at ease
elsewhere. Besides, at every church
gathering the preachers wife is really
the hostess and should be out among
the guests. Certainly the kitchen is
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1908-03-09

no place for the preachers wife.
And as for the church begging surely
it would seem that this was out OF her
Jurisdiction, but if she have musical
talent together with time and strength
I do not see why she should not use it
especially ia the rural parish where
such talent is sore'y needed. Surely
it would require a woman of more
strength and ability to be at the head
of every society, attend all of the
meetings, and call twice or three
times year on every family in the
parish besides keeping her home and
children up to the ideal, as the parish
which thinks it owns the preachers
wife demands. But on the other
hand let the pastor be as consecrated
al he may and inspire as much inter-
est and zeal as is possible, it soon dies
out if his wife evinces little interest
and conservation and openly declares
that it is his work, let him see to it,
she has her own cares and is under no
obligation to put herself out, she
draws no salary, if others have time
and want to, all we'll and good, let
them. o how wise and independent
it sounds! Lst us see then who of all
these earnest workers is under obi
CATION. Who has been hired?
Not the Sunday school superinten-
dent, nor the presidents of the Ep-
worth League, Lldies' Aid or the
Mis- ;ionary societies, neither are the
choirs and organist of our rural
parishes hired, even thu treasurer or
financial agent receives but little ap-
probation Of the time, thought and
effort expended in making the ends
meet year by year. So far as can
Judge the parish really owns only the
pastor and the sexton. The compen
sation of these is not large enough to
demand any great amount of service.
