An Anti-vaccination Triumph.

The action of the members of the
scinding the rules in regard to vacci-
nation is another proof of their habit
ual good sense and of the promptness
with which they recognize changes in
public feeling. When Major Boudren
began his solitary crusade against the
superstition which eXacted surgical
operation as a preliminary to public
school instruction it was loudly as
serted that there was no force of pub
lie opinion behind his efforts. But
when the board modified its require
ments sufficiently to allow persons who
had conscientious objections to vacci-
nation to avoid the ordeal for their
children by petitioning the superinten-
dent OF schools the fallacy OF this as
sumption soon became manifest. The
number and earnestness of the letters
which reached Superintendent Deane
brought surprise even to those oppo-
nents of vaccination who felt that they
represented the modern and disinter-
ested view Of the question.
1t is also satisfactory to know that
the board Is beginning to perceive that
the readiness of those in charge of
public schools to follow every fashion
or caprice which is suggested by doc
TORS or iDoaruS or health is fast placing
them at a disadvantage when compared
with parochial schools or other private
institutions. The public schools will
do well to disclaim all responsibility
for medical inspection or any similar
propositions for multiplying sinecures
at the expense of those elementary
provisions for education which fall SO
heavily upon the taxpayers. Public
schools cannot afford to incur the
odlum OF enforcing measures which are
almost as distasteful to the public as
vaccination. Such things should be
kept apart from the common schools
which are likely to need all the popu-
larity they possess for their protection
in the immediate future.
The news that the local school board
has acted with such exemplary wisdom
and liberality will give it an additional
claim upon the respect Of the public.
1t should not be forgotten. however
that the advanced position which
bridgeport now occupies in regard to
compulsory vaccination is absolutely
due to the courage and persistencv Of
one loyal citizen. Major Boudren has
given unlimited time and enthusiasm
to the cause for many years and has
betrayed nearly if not quite all the ex-
penses of the battle out of his own
pocket. Such unselfsh devotion to the
public welfare Is extremely rare and
all friends OF personal liberty will re-
Jolce that the man who has SO stead
tasty borne Misrepresentation and
mockery Of all kinds has gained
measure OF success to repay him for
his endeavors.-Bridgepo Telegram.

The Lure of the Arctic.

Why asks the Philadelphia Rec
ord, should Captain Amundsen plunge
into the Arctic regions with provisions
for seven years? The pole has been
reached and that is all that anyone
wants of it, But the pole is only a
point in an enormous wilderness, and
a g II happens, no more interesting, in
trinsfcally, than any other point. es-
pecially as it is not marked by land.
Around 1t for hundreds of miles in
nearly every direction stretches a tract
of which nothing is actually known
and it is not surprising that there are
restless spirits who will not be con-
tent until the last foot of this unex-
plored waste has been charted. Cut
bono? The question is as old as polar
adventure, and anyone who asks it is
unlikely to be convinced by the Arctic
enthusiast who attempts to answer it.

AN EARLY PRINTER.
John Foster the First to Establish a
Press in Boston-Work Received by
Connecticut Historical Society.

The Connecticut Historical society
Historical society work on John
Foster, the Earliest American En-
graver and First Boston Printer"
His claims to both titles are clearly
set forth in the volume and, being the
first of the Boston printers, he could
with but little violence be considered
as in the ancestry of The Courant
Foster was born in 1913 and gradu-
ated from Harvard college in 1867.
Because of his learnings he was a
schoolmaster as well as a printer
and engraver. That he was well
thought Of is shown by a letter writ
ten by John Eliot, the Indian apostle
who refers to him as IAN ingenious
young scholar" A specimen of his
work as an engraver, is a picture of
Richard Mather, who after making all
possible allowance for the austerity OF
the Puritans could not possibly have
looked as forbidding as he is depicted.
Another work by Foster appears on
a broadside entitled Gods Severe
Judgments Upon Sabbath Breakers in
Their Unlawful Sports, Collected Out
of Several Divine Subjects" 1t bears
four cuts by Foster, one showing the
drowning of a party of young men
who were playing football on the ice
on the Lords day; another the burn
ing of a woman and her two daugh-
tiers who were weaving and spinning
fax on the Sabbath; third the burn
ing of a mill because the miller was
grinding on Sunday, and the fourth a
biblical scene showing the punish
ment inflicted on Sabbath breakers.
All are thoughtfully provided with
captions in order that they may be
recognized.
Foster was more active as a printer
than as an engraver and like the men
of his time. he printed sermons and
especially those delivered by In
crease Mather. One notaole example
is 1.-THE Wicked Mans Portion, or a
Sermon Preached at the Lecture in
Boston on the 18th day of the
Month. 1874, when two Men, Nicho-
las Feaver and Robert Driver, were
executed who had Muthered their
Master Wherein it Showed that Elk

The Dorchester records bear this
entry under date of 1881: This year
died Mr.. John Foster, son of Captain
HopestiH Foster, schoolmaster of the
colony, and he that made the then
seal or arms of the colony; namely an
Indian with a bow e. arrow" He was
of such Importance that an elegy up
on him was written and printed. for
tunately\ after his death. 1t contains
some seventy-f1ve lines and its char
acter can be judged by its beginning,
which follows:

LUXURY IS THE MODERN TY'
RANT.
Although Living Expenses Have In
creased, Our Money Goes for
Non-Essentials.

IF We should tell Newmoney that he
was a second edition of the Roman
spendthrift. he would point to his
pew in the church, his subscription to
charity and his contributions to the
improvements Of our village, says
Lt~n Raby Meekin in the March De-
siener. He wouldn't understand.
Worse still would be our own unwlll-
ingness to admit that we ourselves are
not doing more swimming against
the current. Indeed, the Tyrant has
cast his spell over the land.
At church conferences last year
pious men pointed out how the coun-
try districts-even tire remote noun
tain places-were being demoralized
by the city boarders, whose manners,
frivolities and extravagances were
leading the rural minds straight to
the sacrifice. There is wailing
throughout the land at the enhanced
cost of living. We are aghast at the
high prices Of food-and vet they
make very small part Of the total.
We complain about dress-and yet
the average American family does
not spend a tenth of its income on
clothes. We declare rents are soar
ing-and yet the difference is but a
fraction I'M the whole sum.
Where, then. the explanation?
Seek and We shall find it in the lux
uries-most of them little, some large.
possibly cne unreasonahly extrava-
CANT, but whether big or little, many
or few, the aggregate forms our ruin
Gus offering to the Moloch Of the age.
The moment we move beyond the
boundaries Of our means we meet sor-
row and damger-and Luxury is AL
ways bidding us to cross the line, ever
tempting us to 90 further into debt
and discouragement and never giving
us a single rebate on our investment
in suffering. For the Tyrant we eke
out the largest sacrifices Ct all that
makes life worth living. and his bes!
honors and prizes are but Dead Sea
fruit, that. when iSouched, turns to
dust.

A WEST POINT PRANK.
When Fitzhugh Lee Startled Pompous
General Scott.

Writing on "We<t Point Before the
War" in the Metropolitan Magazine,
General S. W. Ferguson tells how
F::tzhueh Lse lowed to play pranks:
Fitz was always most popular, full
af fun and ready for ANY deNdiment.
Once during THE encampment We We're
beth under arrest for some caper, and,
as was customary, we had to march to
ohe mess hall with the guard instead
of with the battalion. At that time
Scott 5 'taetics were used, and we were
si]ways formed in two ranks. line
SQUAD, under command of Corporal
Montague, was marching ITO the mess
Rcil and had almost reached tine chap
ell when General Scott himself appear
cd and crossed Our path in front OF
us. The corporal on seeing the great
general stra;ghte11ed himself like a
ra1nrod, called out in his most martial
tones. "C1ose up rhere!' and stepped
out, toes pointed and eyes r7gidly to
the front. FGtz and I were in the
near of the column. To my amazement
and CONSERVATION Fitz jumped one
side, picked up a nound stone and sent

by the general and Was back in his
place as rigid as AMY one in second.
The old general stopped, looked up,
then around. There was nothing in
sight but the squad of the guard. He
cfouild not ima aefine that the Stone came
from such source and resumed his
walk. We had mot gone more than
few steps when Fitz repeated the per-
formance, Saying on each occasion as
he got back in fis place, "Ha, old
big general you can't catch me!' BY
this time we had passed the front of
Ire chapel, and the general was out
OF sight. The last glimpse I had of
him he WAS looking around for the
