and the Waterbury Record. always
alive to the interests of its town,
speaks as follows regarding the
matter. Barton realizes their value
and has both, furthermore it intends

and a good ball team.

team is what Waterbury needs.
Plenty of material in town for both.

This manual Is of interest not only to

with the least aid TO craftsmanship in
order that their skill and accuracy would
be under circumstances such as they

extent to which this idea has prevailed
Is shown by the fact that the streamers,

FLAG FOLLOWS THE MISSIONARY

If commerce follows the flag, the
flag follows the missionary. 1t is one
of the facts of history. From the days
when the lean Jesuits blazed the way
in North America for the flag of
France, till Livingstone opened the
Dark Continent to European exploita-
ton, the missionary has marched be-
fore the soldier; the prayerbook and
the Bible have proved more powerful
than the rifle and machine gun.
Commerce, geography, and civiliza-
ton alike owe the missionary debt
which they can never hope to repay.
The exploration work of Livingstone
is marked by rare precision and by a
breadth of observation which will for
ever make it monument to the name
of the most intrepid traveller of the
nineteenth century. 1t was Verbeck,
a missionary to Japan, who carried the
ideals of Western civilization to the
empire of the Mikado before the ink
on Perry's treaty was fairly dry, and
gave the fiowery kingdom it's present
system of education William Carey,
the great missionary to India, by ire
mendous labor of translation, served
the interests of scholars and of COM
merce as we'll as of religion; and, 60
ing to India to preach salvation from
sin, Immediately set about abolishing
the suttee-the custom of sacrificing
the widow upon her husbands funeral
pyre. 1t was the representations of
American missionaries that induced
Seward and his colleagues to bring
about the purchase of Alaska. E.

One of the features of the coming
State Fair which should prove of gen
eral interest is the exhibit now being
planned by Secretary Cranefeld of the
the State Horticultural Society. In q
booth adjoining Horticultural Hall daily
demonstrations will be given in prepar-
ing Bordeaux mixture and the other
standard compounds used in fighting
bugs and diseases which attack fruit
and vegetables.
In addition all the different spray
pumps and machinery used in applying
the remedies will be shown in actual
operation. Everything will be here
from the tiny bellows used in busting
house plants to the six horse power
gasoline engine spray outfit drawn by
two horses.
Such demonstrations as these may
easily prove of more benefit than tons
of bulletins giving formulas and direc-
tions. Eveyone interested in garden
or orchard should see this exhibit.

JEFFERSON ON EDUCATION

In these days of widespread discus
sion of proposed changes in school
courses, the purposes of elementary
education as stated by Mr.. Jefferson,
will be Of interest.
l. To give to every citizen the inform
alton he needs for the transaction of
his own business.
2. To enable him to calculate for
himself, and to express and preserve
his ideas, his contracts and accounts in
writing.
3. To improve, by reading, his morals
and faculties.
a. To understand his duties to his
neighbors and country, and to dis
charge with competence the functions
confded to him by either.
5. To know his rights; to exercise
with order and jsutice those he retains;
to choose with discretion the fiduciary
of those he delegates; and to notice
their conduct with diligence, with can
dor and judgement.
6. And, in general, to observe with
intelligence and faithfulness all the
social relations under which he shall be
placed.
The demand for vocational training
which is now so insistent, is strictly in
accordance with the first object stated,
interpreting it in the light of present
day conditions.

No word has been received from
Beverly in regard to the selections
which have been made of Census
Supervisors for Wisconsin. The Bad
ger congressman made their recon.
mendations before coming home. The
fact that the President has given posi-
tive instructions to keep these places
removed from politics is reassuring.
1t has been suggested here that the
visit of Postmaster General Hitchcock
to Chicago was partly for the purpose
of consulting with some Wisconsin men
in regard to the men recommended fol
appointment as Supervisors by the
congressman. If this is so the Wiscon-
sin Congressman will be interested in
knowing the men who are furnishing
information in regard to the men they
have recommended and particularly
with view to determining that it
comes from sources having no political
bias.
