WHAT SCHOOLS CAN DO.
Lecture in Teachers Course ut ,hc
University by Superintendent stone.

The hon. Mason :. stone, state super
!ntendent of education, delivered a lecture
In the teachers course in the Williams
Science hall Monday afternoon. 1t was
Very able presentation Of the ops
portunities confronting the public schools
to-day.
]. Mr.. Stone called attention first o.:
all to our large expenditures fer WAY and
the effects Of war as compared with our
expenditures for public education. But
signs are not wanting that change
Tor the better in this respect IS already
going on. Within the last fifty years
the attitude of the nations towards wal
has been changing rapidly. The time j.
coming when broils between nations vii
be regarded as disreputab!c as stree
fights between neighbors. The publ,
school may become one of the most
powerful agencies in Fastening the estab-
lishment of universal peace,
2. The speaker then discussed suct
national evils as suicides, homcidcs
fabulous expenditures for liquors and
tobacco, and pointed the opportunities
which the public schools have to chec,
these evils. He touched also upon certain
conditions IN our own State, towards thc
correction Of which the school should
work.
8. Special emphasis was laid upon Ger
tain false ideals of life which are held
up before the youth Of to-day. Wealth
and not worth is too often the standard
set up. That which eXerts influence art
wins applause Is not the character Of Il
man, or his worth as an intellectual auo
moral being but the amount of his
possessions. What gives him importance
among his fellows and in tie com
munty Is not high intelligence AMI UNI
Conquerablc rcctitude but tho amount OF
money he has. Here again is a splendo
opportunity eo- the schools to iuslill fine
Ideals into the minds of the young.
4. The speaker closed by calling attcu-
ton to the fact that already we are tho
EranarY ana workshop Of the world, ant
are destined to become more 50 in tn,
future. The public schools have now the
opportunity to prepare the rising genera
ton to do their part towards maintaining
our supremacy In these directions.
Mr.. Stones whole address received the
rlosest attention and was highly APP
2reciated by all present.

FOUNTAIN PENS AT FREE PRESS
FOREST FIRES.

The annual season OF forest fires is
now at hand when extra precaution Is
necessary on the part Of everyone
Damage done by these fires cannot
be measured in thousands of feet OF
lumber destroyed. for the innumerable
young trees and seedlings burned rep
resent future forests of incstimable
value, and the impoverishment of the
soil affects the growth Of trees not yet
started
The Public Utilities Commission Of
New York has decreed that the rail-
roads operating in the Adrondncks
shall burn oil to avoid such connagra-
lions as were common last fall 1t Is
possible that some such precautionary
measures will be necessary in certain
sections of Vermont. but 1t is certain
that much can be accomplished to-
ward the elimination of forest fires
by greater care on the part of loco
motive engineers, farmers, hunters,
campers, saw-mill men and those who
use the woods for their Sunday rec
reation. These fires are chiefly due
to carelessness and ignorance and can
be largely avoided by the use Of an
average degree Of common sense.
Next to precaution against starting
these fires is the necessity of control
ling them as soon as possible aftc'
they are started. Two or three me
can do more toward putting out n fir,
right after it is started than a hun
dred can do after n few hours. It was
to insure this prompt attention to all
fires whether in valuable woodlands
or brush lands that the law was passed
making the first sclectman OF each
town forest fire warden for that town.
The wardens have authority to go up
on any land for this purpose and call
upon any person in the town for as
sistance. All persons thus employed
are paid at the rate of fifteen cents
n hour. 1t will help greatly toward
ding away with these fires II every
ne discovering fire will not only
. what he can toward putting It out
tut will report it promptly to the
or distribution cloth notices warning
gainst forest fires. These may be had
rec upon application to him. He
would be glad OF any information
about forest fires occurring in tn
state at any time.
Communications should be addressed

NEGLECTED FARM

NEGLECTED FARM
The farms of New England are oni
half cultivated. have travelled In
by railroads, and have found the shift
lcssness Of the farmer really appalin.
Not only &re his fences in bad repai'
but his house and barns are in man
instances lettering to their fall. and |.
does not even take the trouble to keo
under cover such farming implemen
as he may own. The despised city ma.
comes along and with his book farmir
makes glad the waste places. He buid
anew, or rebullds; he houses his tool,
takes proper care of his live stock AZ
He may not make farming pay the Ar.
year that he tries 1t, but he will I
time. II he sticks to II and gives 1t ~
attention he would give to any otho
business. The modern farmer, the ma
who makes farming pay, is a scientis.
The old-fashioned farmer got a livlng
such as II was, out Of the farm, bu
the new-fashioned one gets more thai
a living out of the soil. and finds tim
to cultivate his mind as we'll as his acres
I can imagine few more enjoyable com
binations that that OF farming and au
thorship. The farmers busy season 1

BAD TEMPER MAY
NOW BE CURED.

PARIS, August 14.-The latest
Partisan cure" Is for a bad temper,
according to story in a morning
paper. A husband who had been
living inharmoniously with his wife.
consulted a doctor. No cause being
found for disagreements, the doctor
visited the patients home and there
found red paper or the walls. The
doctor ordered change.
Red" he said. "excites the tenn
per; try blue" which soothing ex-
pertinent was made with the result
that the disposition OF the wife be-
came as angelic as before. Accord
ing to the doctor, a blue room tames
the most exacting shrew.
