School Teachers Salaries

A teacher in leading town in the State
figures that the grade teachers in that
town are only averaging about a dollar
a day for 312 working days in the year.
This is little enough, to be sure, but there
must be compensating advantages that
tend to keep the market pretty well sup
Piled as compared with the demand.
Perhaps it is the short days and relatively
small number of them. Instead of 312,
the full working year, there are only
about 175 actual teaching days in the
school year. Forthese the teachers in the
town noted receive at the rate of nearly
two dollars day. Counting the time
that the grade teacher spends out of the
school room in her school work would
hardly make up the nine, ten or twelve
hour day that the Office assistant or the
wage earning young lady in other pursuits
puts in, not only five, but six, days in the
week. To balance this it is only fair to
state that no other vocation requires so
much nerve strain, or stands quite so high
in Importance to the public.

Collectorship Press Comments

1t is quite apparent that a change in
| the colectorship of this district is to be
made, and naturally the Office will have
plenty of seekers. While anyone Of
those who have already been suggested
will fill the bill, the appointment of ]. l.
Southwick, we believe would be most
gratifying to a majority OF those inter
ested. He is man thoroughly qualified
and is certainly eligible to the office, and
we hope it will go to the gentleman from
Burlington.-Po ultney Journal.
Reports that sift into The News office
from various sections ofthe State seem to
point to a general willingness to have a
change in the collectorship OF customs
In the western district Ohm l.. Southwick
| of Burlington seems to have clear lead
in matter of preference over the present
| incumbent, Charles II. Darling. These
Offices are veritable federal plurns-and

| Rutland News.
| 1t is reported from up the State, where
| the members of the Vermont delegation
| live and where some of them are now at
home for the holidays, that there is a well
defined feeling that the Hon. Charles h.
Darling is likely to lose his place as col
lector of customs at Burlington. 1t this
report is true it will be great surprise to
his Bennington friends who have largely
written letters to the delegation asking
for Judge Darling's reappointment. 1t is
also said by those who ought to know
that Editor John l.. Southwick OF the
Burlington Free Press has by far the
heaviest Ell lorsement tor the position IN
case there is to be change
Banner ..a,
Some little stir has been occasioned in
the northern part ofthe State, on account
of the officers of the ports of Burlington
and Newport coming up Tor nomination
for office. That in Burlington has been
held for the past four years by Collector
Darling. While a capable and efficient
official there seems no just or valid reason
why the appointee to such a position as
this should hold it for life and this paper
inclines to the opinion that the office
should be passed around, provided agood
man can be found to take it and we are
perfectly willing to leave it to the good
man to find himself when the call comes
as it most certainly will.-Fair Haven Era
As far as we have noticed the State pa
papers seem to favor one term tenure
for the two collectors of custom in Yer
mont.
1t is generally we'll understood by the
press if not by the people, that these Off
ces are largely political; that no matter
who is collector the work goes right on
without interruption and is almost entire
ly done by the assistant collector and his
efficient force in each district.-M

Need More Money for Highways.
Mortified News.)

In an article from The Randolph Her.
aid. reprinted in another column, it is
shown how permanent roads may be built
to girdle the state in from twenty-five to
thirty years, with change of system, but
without any extraordinary expense. The
Herald is undoubtedly on the right track,
but it is probable that if the people had
the opportunity to see the advantages of
a trunk line of permanent roads they
would set to work to devise means of
building them much faster than would
be warranted with the present income.
1t is not impossible that in their eager
ness for such roads, policy of economy
would be demanded that would cut off
appropriations for many" unnecessary
things and the money thus saved turned
into road building, step that would be
in every way desirable. If this proved
to be the case, instead of waiting quar-
ter of century for complete trunk lines
of permanent roads they might be con-
structed in perhaps less than one-half of
that time. And trunk lines would most
certainly lead to permanent road making
on side roads. when the farmers began to
realize that they could haul one-fourth
to one-half mole at a load on well con-
structed highway.

THE HOLIDAY SEASON.
How the Girl Who Can Cook May Re-
member Friends.

The girl who can cook has an easy
lime of it at Christmas, and she is sure
Of having her gifts appreciated. If she
ives in the country, on farm per
haps, where there are goodly supplies
| If groceries bought with trade" at
| the village shops, but where actual
money is scarce. she is specially fortu'
| nate, for all the materials of her gifts
| may come from the pantry shelves.
About the LIST of December the girl
who can cook should make list of
| her friends whom she wishes to favor.
| She remembers that there are three
cousins who have a special weakness
| for fruit cake, so when she makes the
Family fruit cake she also makes three
smaller cakes, bakes them carefully
and when they are quite cold packs
them away in moist brown sugar to
keep until Christmas.
Perhaps some of her girl friends
have recently married and moved to
the city to live. In that case she will
help along the new housekeeper with
the gift of little plum pudding just
big enough for two. Several of these
small buildings steamed in little molds
may be made some time in advance
of Christmas and put away in tightly
closed jars until it is time to send
them on, with a sprig of holly stuck in
each.
If she has any boy or girl friends at
boarding school or college not lucky
enough to spend Christmas at home
either box of candy, chocolate fudge,
perhaps full of hickory nuts gathered
back in the woods, or a two layer
chocolate or caramel cake will be a
treat for them. To pack a cake of this
sort wrap it in oiled paper, then tie
this firmly with soft, fat tape. Then
1t is ready for a heavy pasteboard
box, with plenty of crushed tissue pa
per put in all around it-below, at the
sides and above. When this box is Sc
curely tied and wrapped in heavy ma
Mia paper the cake will travel far
