Mrs. Jane E. Plummer.

Mrs. Jane +. Plummer, 81, died late
Tuesday evening at the Home for the
Aged where she had lived for about two
years. She had been in fairly good health
until last March when she suffered a
paralytic shock from which she never re-
covered. Mrs. Plummer was born July
81, 1916, in West Brattleboro, on the
famous Richardson farm, situated on
Bonnyvale road about one mile from the
village and recently owned by DR.. j. w.
Gregg She was one of five children of
William AID Elizabeth (Sargent) Richard
son, who were among the early and most
respected families to settle in town. She
received her education in the public
came member of the Universalist church
when a young girl and was among its
most active workers until her health
failed
She married j. Howard Plummer of
Brattleboro June 3, 1916. They had four
sons, Leonard, Charles, David and Luz
Their. Mr., Plummer died May 80, 1905.
Soon after their marriage Mr.. Plummer
built for their home the house on West
ern avenue now owned by the Farley
estate They lived there for several years
then returned to the Richardson farm
about 1871 and that was their home I'M
til Mr.. Plummer's death. Then Mrs.
Pummer lived there with her son David
and family until she went to the Home
for the Aged. Mrs. Plummer leaves one
brother, Luther Richardson of La Cygne,
Kan, and three sons, Charles of Rawlins,
Wyo.; David of Springfield, Mass, and
Luther of Brattleboro. The funeral was
held at the Home for the Aged yester-
lay afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Delmer
3. Trout, pastor of the Universalist
,hurch, officiated and burial was in the
West Brattleboro cemetery. The bearers
we're members of the family.

OF the legislature and from all parts OF
the state.
In 1906 Mr.. Farnsworth was appointed
Judge OF Rutland city court by Governor
| Proctor
Since he entered upon his duties April
!, 1907 he has disposed of over 500 Grim
inal cases and many civil ones in none
OF which has jury trial been asked for,
which is considered good evidence Of the
confidence placed in his judgment and
honesty.
Mr.. Farnsworth has always taken an
active interest in local matters and has
been one of the hardest workers for the
success of the republican party in the
city and county OF Rutland and is the
Rutland county committeeman of the Re
publican League OF Vermont.
In 1906 he organized the Rutland horse
show which has given two Of the largest
and most successful open air horse shows
ever held. At the present time he is sec.
rotary of that organization and also OF
the Rutland county fair. The latter or
ganization, through his efforts has taken
on new lease of life and is now one of
the largest fairs in western Vermont.
Mr.. Farnsworth is a Mason, an Elk
and a member of Rutland Valley grange.
He has always had to work his way
through the world ana MS irlends say
this has made him hustler and has
developed a capacity for work which
will not come amiss if he is chosen to
perform the duties in the office of Sec
rotary of state.
Rutland county will be solidly and en-
behind him and with the
assurance he has received from all over
the state, those in position to know
claim he will be the nominee of the con.
vention. Indications are that he will
have strong support in this county.-Adv.

WE ARE "REGoNc1LEDn TOO.

Renewed discussion about the location
of Brattleboros federal building has re-
suited from the notice of the treasury de-
partment in regard to receiving proposals
for the sale or donation of suitable site.
Despite the fact that the date for open
ing the proposals is July 8, there is no
likelihood that the building will become
a reality within two or three years. SINH
lar proposals were asked for in North
Adams and Pittsfeld two years ago as
soon as provisions for government build
ings in those cities had been made by
congress but as yet no sites have been de-
cided upon. Even if the government
should be fortunate enough to secure a
site at once some time would necessarily
elapse before the building would be COM
pleted, for while the public buildings bill
contained provision for the appropria-
ton of 100000 for a building and site in
this town only $4,000 was actually ap
propriated for immediate use. The re-
mainder will have to be appropriated by
the next session of congress. As to the
question of location there is likely to be
a considerable difference Of opinion, but
our attitude is good deal like that of
the Athol Transcript, which Twill cheer
fully agree to any choice made" very
much as in the case of the bereaved
Dutchman who on being counciled by
the sympathizing parson that he must
be reconciled to the death of his wife
said: Regonciled! Mein Colt, hat to
be regonciled.'"

EDUCATION. OLD AND NEW.

The story is told by the 81, Alban
Messenger of a man ia certain state
who had occasion 10 make an appoint
ment TO the United States military aoad
envy at West Point aud advertised th'
fact in the newspapers. -Four boys tool
the examinations but the record by them
particularly in English, was 50 poor that
the examiner could not recommend any
Of them. A similar examination was held
for appointment 10 the naval academy at
Annapolis aud again four candidates ap
pcared. One Of them was appointed and
the other three named as alternates, but
the appointce and two Of the alternates
failed 10 pass the entrance examinations
ut the academy. The fourth candidate
did not take the examinations. The Mes.
senger asks significantly, What does
this indicate about the work being done
in the public schools OF that state" And
adds the still more significant question,
''What state was it,
A woman in small town in Ger.
tain state"-probably the same one as
that to which the Messenger reiers-said
the other day: Il have got to go away
somewhere this fall so that my boy can
begin his education properly" The wo-
man went ON TO say that the school au.
thorites in the town where she lived had
come to the conclusion that they were
spending too much money on modern
methods and had consequently reduced
the number OF teachers to such an extent
that none of the pupils received the neces-
sary amount OF individual attention.
When asked why the school authorities
had come to such conclusion the woman
said it was because a certain prominent
state official, whose success has been un-
usual, received his education in the old
way" Influenced more or less by the
question of expense the school authori'
ties had deluded themselves into thinking
that the officials success came about "as
result of the educational methods in
his day instead of ''in spite of" them.
This story will do well to 60 with that
told by The Messenger. The first case
indicates that there is something wrong
with the educational system in use at
the present day. The second illustrates
the danger of jumping too hurriedly at
decision as to where the fault lies Pu-
pills of the old-time "deestrict skule" who
have had successful careers are prone to
give too much credit to the system used |
in their day and too little to themselves.
Likewise they are likely to be too hasty
in their judgment of modern methods,
forgetting that the amount of education
a pupil acquires depends more upon the
pupil than on the system under which
he is taught. That there are faults in
the present-day system of education no
one will deny, but the fact that certain
men and women in middle life have
been successful in the face Of the meagre
school training they received does not
prove by any means that the system of
a generation ago was the better. 1t is
q difficult problem and one that can be
solved only by giving all the circum-
stances careful consideration

Barre's grand list this year is $780,
O5s.3O, showing slight increase over last
year, but the number OF polls fell off
SO on account of the granite strike. In
Burlington there was falling off in the
number of polls and in the total grand
list as well. In Brattleboro on the other
hand, there was an increase in the total
grand list as well as in the number of
polls, the slight falling off in personal
property being more than made up by
the increase in real estate. No town in
Vermont passed through last year in any
better shape than Brattleboro.

There is but little excuse for the coun

gotten. Like many other things, if one
does not learn TO swim while youth,
probably he never will learn. Some
time, not only his own life but the lives
of many others may depend upon his
ability to swim. The boat.rocking fool
is still in existence, and all sorts OF acct
dents are frequently happening upon the
water; so that it seems almost duty
that every boy should know how to
KEEP ahoat and be able to assist a com.

requires it. Parents will do well TO en-
courage their boys to go in swimming
instead of tanning their jackets when
they do.
