State Normal Schools Criticized

The report of the commission to
examine the normal schools of the
state, consisting of Frank L. Greene,
of st. Adams, Clarence H. Dempsey,
of St. Johnsbury, Bert L. Stafford,
of Til mouth, L. Ethelbert Sherwin,
of Chester, and Willis N. Cady, Of
Middlobury, has been made public.
Am ing the important recommen-
datiors are that the present schools
be sue oessively replaced by modern
institutions, the property to be
owned by the state; that the Ran
dolph school be closed and a new
school established; that increased
appropriations be voted to the john
son ard Castleton schools; that en-
trance requirements be raised and
and tie course of study broadened.
The present condition of the nor
NAL schools is criticized as failing to
represent the educational ideals of
the state. It is declared that the
financial support is inadequate and
the buildings poorly adapted to the
requirments.

FOR REALISM.
Robert Louis SteVenson's Injunction to
a Small Nephew at Play.

Robert Louis Stevenson's Injunction to
a Small Nephew at Play.
A story about Robert Louis Steven
son not generally known, according to
the New York Sun. Is told by Mrs.
Stevensons grandson, Austin Strong.
When Mr.. Strong vas little chap
Mr.. Stevenson liked TO sit propped up
In bed to watch him at play in the
next room. And often it happened
that the bigger boy of the two would
make suggestions for the make be-
Iieve games and insist that they be car
ried out too.
One day Austin had arranged some
chairs in row, playing that they
were ships. and he, standing on the
front, was the captain. For long
time he proudly walked the deck Of
his vessel, encountered pirates and
weathered all kinds OF storms until he
felt the floor positively heave under
his feet.
Mr.. Stevenson looked on In perfect
silence, but complete absorption, no
doubt playing the whole thing much
the harder Of the two. Finally Austin
got tired of his vessel climbed of his
chair and began walking across the
room to some object which had at
tracted his interest.
This was too much for his uncle.
Still deep in the game, Mr.. Stevenson
rose In his sickbed and shouted eK-
citedly at the recalcitrant sea captain:
Swim, - you, swim"

TRACK RECORD BROKEN

TIL racing at the Orleans county
fair, which closed Friday, Sept. IL,
was made notable by the breaking
of tho state track record. In the
free-for-all Jennie w., owned and
driven by Mr.. Sunderlin, three heats
in succession broke the track record,
the time respectively, being 2.O94,
2.O81, 2.O9B. This is said to be the
tastes time ever made by one horse
in three successive heats on half
mile track in Vermont. The state
track record had been 208aa, made

Il eave the Hungry Preacher an APP
petite For Dinner.
Before accepting an invitation 1t Is
as we'll to be sure 1t Is given in good
faith. After an afternoon service held
many years ago in certain village in
Scotland the preacher, stranger, who
had Oficiated, accompanied one Of the
elders Of the congregation home and
was introduced to his wife. The good
man having asked the clergyman to
stay to dinner. the latter, after little
pressing, consented.
The good lady hurried or to prepare
FOR the unexpected guest, and, seeing,
as she thought. her husband washing,
as was the custom in those days, at
the family sink, she seized the family
Bible, approached stealthily from be-
hind and brought down the ponderous
tome upon his bald pate, exclaiming:
"Tak' We that for bringing hungry
preachers here to dinner every time
they come to the parish"
AS soon as the assaulted one could
get the suds out of his eyes he looked
about him and. after thinking the mat
ter out. concluded that the old lady
had made slight mistake. She, too,
came to the same conclusion when, on
returning to the parlor, she beheld her
husband patiently waiting for his rev.

Artificial Teeth.

1t is certain that the ancients had a
knowledge of dentistry, but 1t Is diff
ficuIt to determine when or by whom
the use OF artificial teeth was intro
duced. Herodotus says that the Egyp-
tians had dentists for the teeth" In
the British museum there are various
dental instruments which had been
found in the ruins of Pompeii, and
Galen in the second century describes
the method OF extracting teeth by
means OF forceps. Belzoni says that
artificial teeth were in use in antiquity.
since he found some specimens in the
catacombs.
Modern dentistry admits that the
first to teach how to make artificial
teeth was the Arabian Albucasis, and
in his work "Al Tariff" are drawings
of instruments used for this purpose.
The earliest known allusion to arti1.
ciai teeth Is by Martlalis in the irst
century:
You use without a blush false teeth and
hair,
But, Laelia, your squirt is past repair.

THE HICKORY TREE,
II 10 Wholly American and Belongs to
Us Alone,

Us Alone
Strictly speaking, there is ouly
one American tree-only one tree
family, that is-no member Of
which has ever been found on any
other continent. This is the hick-
DRY. 1t belongs to us alone, and
its very name is a legacy from the
former owners of the land. The
"Historie of Travaile Into Virginia
Britannia" says:
Hickory is derived from the In
dian name of the liquor obtained
by pounding the kernels. These
the Indians beat into pieces with
stones and putting them, shells and
all, into mertars, mingling water
with them, with long wooden pes
tells pound them so long together
until they make q kind of mylke, OF
oylie liquor, which they call Pow
cehicora."
There are nine varieties of this
tree on the American continent,
and, although the tree is a stranger
to Europe, and so has not shared in
the legacy of ancient legend and
story with the oak, the ash and the
other trees familiar to Greek and
Teuton, it has made up for its pow
erty in this respect since the time
of the early settlers in it's own ma
tive country. Its qualities are eel
ebrated in the American proverb,
"Tough as hickory" And we all
remember the nickname Of Presi-
dent Jackson, "0ld Hickory"
which was no less an expression of
affection than a word descriptive
of his strong and reliable character.
In the Revolutionary war, too,
hickory played its part, for the
ramrods of our forefathers were
made from its wood. Commercial
ly it is valuable where a strong and
close grained wood is needed, and
no doubt the excellence of the
American ak is due quite as much
to its handle Of hickory as to the
quality of its steel.
Hickory nuts were highly appre
ciated by the Indians. Bertram in
his "Travels In North America"
states that he has seen over a hun
bred bushels of these nuts belong
ing to one family. The Indian
name of the nut appears in English
as kiskitomas, kisktyom and kisky-
thomas, all of which are probably
eorFuptions Of the word kwaska-
damenne, a word which we trans
late by the phrase, ut must be
cracked by the teeth" The Indians
/ certainly had the secret of creating
what Humpty Dumpty called sport
manteau words"
In the hungry days of spring, be
fore the earth was producing other
food, the Indians are said to have
kept off starvation by eating the
young buds of the hickory. Havin'
tried TO follow in their footsteps, J
found that the buds, while del,
ci9us in flavor, are rather like
mixture of shoe leather and WOO
in texture, so they cannot have
been very satisfactory diet. =
