Presidents Address
President Fred E. Smith of Wahp-

cred the presidents annual address,.
President Smith said:
"The difference between barbarism
and civilization lies in the difference
in the institutions of civilization. In

people what are working collaterally

old friends. This was based on the
statemett attributed to tre colonel
some time ago that he would be glad
to call on the president. in New York
when an opportunity offered.
Since that time, however, the New
Haven meeting intervened.
Roosevelt had hard campaign
mapped out for himself and when he
reached Oyster Bay yesterday morning
from Troy, he announced that he
would take two days of complete rest
to recuperate from his recent trips
and in the work Of completely restor-
ing his voice for the coming speeches
in New York and other states.
The fact that no steps were taken
by the friends of either the president
or the colonel to bring about a meet
ing under the opportunities offered by
the presidents presence in New York,
seems to indicate that further inter
views between the two in the near
future are most Improbable.

other words I want to call your atten
tion to the question of aid to Rural
Schools"
II want to touch upon just one phase
of this question, that is, that the rural
schools need assistance. The life of
our high schools and the success of
our state institutions depends largely
upon the success of our rural schools
If we can inspire the boys and girls of
the country districts with desire for
higher education, the success of our
state institutions is assured. The
rural schools can be made an inspira-
ton to the youth of their communities
if they receive state aid.
II wish to call your attention to one
particular meeting of school directors
of certain county which was we'll at.
tended. Some of the directors abso-
lutely jumped with JOY because they
had received state aid, for this made
it possible for them to provide for
their boys and girls schools that were
suitable, comfortable and pleasing.
In some parts of this state have seen
school buildings that were an actual
disgrace. If we can assist in building
up or bettering the rural schools we
should get behind the movement and
help it along.
'The standardization of the rural
schools which results from state aid
means several things. 1t means:
'1-Suitable and reasonably large
school houses.
"2-Good heating and ventilating
plants in the school houses.
"3-Comfortable desks.
"A dictionary, maps, library,
and other conveniences.
Even where the state aid has been
opposed energetically and vindictively
those who opposed it have become en-
Unused over it and over it's results.
1 think that this state made a great
mistake when state aid law was
not enacted. The school is stimulated
by it, the teachers are helped, and the
county superintendents are benefited.
IF we could see the effect of state
aid upon only the school directors
without reference to the school teach.

A Christmas Present that Means
Something

There is one especially good thing
about Christmas present of The
Youths Companion. 1t shows that the
giver thought enough of you to give
you something worth while.
1t is easy to choose something cost
ing great deal more which is absolute
ly useless, but to choose a present cost
ing only Sl.75 that will provide a long
years entertainment, and the uplifting
companionship of the wise and great, is
amiher matter. There is one present,
however, which does just that-The
Youths Companion.
If you want to know whether it is ap.
propriate or welcome, just visit the
home of some Companion subscriber on
Companion day.
Do not choose any Christmas present
until you have examined the Compan.
ion. We will send you free sample
copies and the beautiful Prospectus Tor
1911, telling something of how The
Companion has recently been enlarged
and improved.
The one to whom you give the sub
scription will receive free all the nun.
bers of 1910 issued after the money is
received also The Companions Art
Calendar for 1911, Autographed in
twelve colors and gold. These will be
sent to reach the subscriber Christmas
morning if desired.
You, too, as giver of the subscription,
will receive copy of the Calendar.

Reported for THE HERALD by Colby Stoddard.
The Legislature has taken long re-
cess without pay but they have done
enough during the past week to earn a
good holiday rest. While in actual re-
suits accomplished there is not much OF
great public Importance been passed or
killed the Committees have been work
ing until the small hours every night.
The most interesting events of the week
have been ia the committee rooms.
Early in the week Col. Battells bill to
exclude automobiles from the so called
Texas Road ia Hancock was passed by
the House. Mr. Battel made clear his
position in relation to gifts made to
Mddebury and the gift of Camers
Hump to the state and won out on his
bill. Some of the members thought il
but fair to one who had done so much
Of public nature.
1t has been proven that Com missioner
Gates stands pretty we'll with the
people. His bill appropriating $l50,0OC
for highways has passed the House and
has been ordered to third reading by
the Senate. This is called his bill be-
cause he has been working for it con-
sistently some time. The bill was in.
troduced by Mr.. Rabbit of Rockingham
A Snow Road bill has also been put
through compelling towns to expend
their highway money on dirt roads and
either break winter roads from the gen
eral fund or make separate appropria.
ton. This bill had bitter opposition
but was finally passed.
The Temperance Committee gave {
public hearing on the. Inn Keepers Ii
cense bill on Tuesday evening and ;
goodly representation of hotel keeper
were present. The Hotel Mems Asso
citation of Vermont was represented b,
counsel and made good showing TO
the Association; but the result or sue
cess Ct the innkeepers efforts remain il
doubt. There is a strong feeling tina
something might well be done to en-
courage the building and maintainin,
of more good hotels in Vermont and i
is possible that some sort of licens
may be granted, 1t is safe bet how
ever that no bill will be passed whic
will permit hotel to have a lcens
without vote of the town. If any
thing is done there will probably be
chance for towns TO vote separately q
to whether the town will grant its hote
restricted innkeepers license. Tn

Legislative Notes.

Mason of Pawlet is a Democrat and
the fight that he made for the position
of Commissioner of Weights and Meas.
ures shows that Democrat is not with.
out honor in a republican Legislature.
On the third ballot he came within six
or eight votes of an election. He will
be even stronger in the House hereafter.
The Senate have proposed to amend
tie state constitution so that judges of
the Supreme Court shall be elected only
once in ten years.
The Senate would not stand for rails
ing the pay of Tax Commissioner to
$4,000. IL is good bet that no salaries
will be raised this session, especially
those which are now fixed at $4,000 or
more.
Mr.. Babbitt of Rockingham has
fathered some important bills thus far.
Among tie list are the Weights and
Measures bill, the Highway Appropria-
ton bill and the Inn Keepers License
bill.
Over 100 members attended the 1905
reunion last week. Gov Mead acted as
toast master aud he is good one.
