The two institutions in Birmingham conducted by the Sisters of Charity each has it's annual donation day-St. Vincents hospital Thanksgiving and the East Lake orphanage on Christmas Bay. The public response has usually been generous, and those who take an active part in helping the orphans hope for very liberal donations this Christmas. The following appeal explains itself:
 Christmas Day At the Orphans Home
 Christmas is a day of joy or sadness to all children. What shall it mean to the little orphans at East Lake?
 My dear friends, it depends in part what you choose to make it, so let your donation be a liberal one; that not alone may this day be a joyous one, but the whole year one at least of comfort.

 In order that everybody be given a chance to do something for the little ones, the ladies of the home association will open headquarters at 315 North goth street on December 23 and 24, where all donations in money, provisions or clothes will be thankfully received. A full list of the donations will be published in the papers,. "Ninety-six little beds to keep spotlessly

 To this brief statement I should add that, through the generosity of few friends of the home, the Sisters have been able the past year to equip two very much needed classrooms, but while happy in contemplating this improvement, they are forced to deplore the lack of money for other needed improvements. The plumbing Is very poor, the water sup ply insufficient and only two bathtubs for so many children. So. while we thank you for your generosity in the past, we would ask continuance Of same. that the Sisters may be able the coming year not only to clothe and feed

Result of the Vermont Elections

Referring to the enormous decrease
in the Republican plurality in the
State of Vermont the New York World
says: Vermont is not so much a
political barometer as political SYM
pthom. It's normal Republican major
ity is so large and its democratic vote
is Sd small that its September cleo
tions are useful chiefly as an indica-
tion Of the trend of republican opin-
ion. Yesterdays result bears out the
opinion made in these columns that
this ia a democratic year. in 1908
Mr.. Taft carried the State by plu-
raity of 28,058 receiving more than
seventy five per cent of all the votes
cast. This year the Republican can
didate for governor is elected by a
plurality of about 1900. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that republican plural
ity in Vermont of less than 10000 re-
veals disaffection in that party
throughout the cour try of sufficient
gravity to insure democratic success.
This is democratic year as Yer
mont shows and the World has said,
not because there are more democrats
than republicans are because there is
a great public confdenc, in democracy
but because republicans and demo-
Gratis alike intend to rebuke plutocracy,
privilege. extravaganza, waste, and
jingoism. Republicans as we'll as dem
ocrats object to expenditures IF
thousand million dollars year, to Mr..
Taft's deferse of sn extortionate
tariff, to the Cam n oligarchy in the
house of repr sentatives, to Aldrich,
Guggenheim and the. other senator's
who levy taxes upon the people for
their own pecuniary benefit, and to
the whole scheme Ct profigacy, favorit-
ism and warmSking which has been
developing without check in Washing
ton for ten years.
Vermont republicans show, as re-
publicanS every where else will show
later on, that they want to open the
b09bs and hrd out what the trusts and
combines did for the republican candi-
dates in 1904 and 1908, what there is
about 1.-The Tarana transaction that
Its chiet promoters are so intent upon

one-quarter of theIrepublica of Yer

Public and Educators at Cross
Purposes.

The matter with our high schools is,
that the public has been expecting
from them one set Of results while the
educators have been striving after an
entirely different set, says Benjamin
G. Gutenberg in an article entitled
What's the Matter With Our High
Schools?" in Success Magazine.
Both the public and the teachers will
have to change their expectations.
There must be a shifting of ideals.
We must pass from the ideal of expec-
tation Or defeat of others 10 the ideal
of service and cooperation; of personal
advantages for cur children to social
efficiency sand strength; of personal
power for narrow ends to democratic
leadership and responsibility; of
dilettante culture" to a broad con-
cepton of humanity, brotherhood and
progress.
So far at least as the more progress
i've teachers and administrators and
school commissioners are concerned,
these changes are we'll under way.
There is a strong revolt against the
domination Of the colleges in directing
the subject matter of the high schools,
strong movement in revolt against
the specialized high schools of the kind
that have restricted arbitrarily the ed
ucation of the pupils entrusted to
them, well defined reaction against
the enlargement of schools and classes
=, th" point at which the teaching be-
comes mechanical AMI perfunctory.
strong effort on all sides to analyze
defects and to find remedies
The high schools of today are not
doing altogether satisfactory work
but they are not resting The. outlook
for tomorrow is hopeful just because
no one concerned is entirely satisfied.
The teachers are doing their best to
improve things. What is needed is
not less criticism from the dissatisfied
public but sincere recc gnition on the
part of the teachers that there are
faults t. remedy. and sincere recog-
milton on the part of thepublic that
relief is to be found in going forward.
not backward. When the public and
the teachers demand the same results
from the high schools. it is not too
much to expect that they. will get
what they want.

The newspapers in the east

the vital force Of this demand.
