Plan to Spend a Million.

What "a Million for tuberculosis
from Red Cross Seals" will do in the
checking of consumption, is explained
in bulletin issued to-day by the Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis.
Counting every available bed for con-
sumptives in the United States, even
those in almshouses, penal institutions,
and hospitals for the insane, there are
at the present time Accommodations for
hardly 10000 tuberculosis patients.
This is just about one bed for every ten
INDECENT consumptives, and if all tuber-
culous persons in the country are count
ed, both rich and poor, hardly one for
every twenty-five or thirty. If suf
fcient hospital accommodations are pro-
vided only for those who are too poor to
paw the full price for their treatment,
fully 275, 900 more beds in special insti-
tutions for tuberculosis would be need
ed at once. The immense outlay neces-
sary to provide and maintain so many
beds in hospitals makes it imperative,
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis declares,
that such institutions be erected from
public money, either municipal, county
or state. In order to get appropriations
for public hospitals for tuberculosis,
agitation is necessary, and in order to
create campaign of agitation, organi-
cation is demanded But in order that
an organization may carry on an effect
i've campaign, funds are needed.
These funds it is proposed to secure
in as many communities as possible
from the sale of Red Cross Seals.
The National Association cites one H.
lustration of the way in which a small
sum spent in education has secured
large appropriations. The New York
State Charities Aid Association in the
three years, 1908, 1909 and 1910 has
spent in the upstate portion of New
York about $55, 600 in arousing the peo
pie to the dangers of tuberculosis. A!
direct result of public sentiment pro
duced by this outlay, the state, count!
and municipal authorities have already
appropriated for tuberculosis work 81,
500, 600 and appropriations for hundred
of thousands of dollars are pending

provided, and the Association alread,

Report of the State Library Com
missioners.

The eighth annual report of the Yer
mont board of library commissioners
has just been issued. The members
of the board are: M. M. Wilson of
Randolph, Mrs. w. P. Smith of St.
Johnsbury, Mrs. C. NJ. Winslow of
Brandon, E. M. Goddard of Montpelier
and Miss Fannie B. Fletcher of Proc
torsville, Miss Frances Hobart of Cam
bridge is secretary.
The report emphasizes the value of
the annual appropriation of $1,000
provided by the last General Assembly
by which in the year 1909, 3S towns
were provided with collections of books
costing from 500 to S25 each. During
the present year 60 applications for
annual aid have been received, of which
the board has been able, owing to the
limited amount at its disposal, to help
but As.
Since the last report new Libraries
have been established by state aid in
the towns of Belvidere, Bennington,
Richmond and Whiting, Lowell and
Huntington have started libraries with
out state aid. During the same period
new library buildings have been erected
in Bellows Falls, which received as
sistance from Mr.. Carnegie; Johnson,
by the Ladies Dread club; Quechee, by
the Library association; Weston, by
the heirs of John Wilder, and in Wards
boro, the Gleason Memorial hall, by
James M. Gleason. Through the enter
prise of public spirited associations and
private benevolence the state now has
72 library buildings as memorials of the
generosity of the donors.
In the towns of Barnard, Bethel,
Shelburne, South Hero and Swantor
money has been raised for the purpose
of erecting new library buildings anc
Bristol has been given So, 600 by w. A
Lawrence for building. During the
same term large gifts or requests fol-
library purposes have been received by
the towns of Danville, Lunenburg
Newbury, Pittsford. Reading, st
Johnsbury, STAFFORD, Wilmington ant
Windsor.
OF the 246 towns in the state, al
but 81 have libraries and of these /
have travelling library stations. Al
but 10 of the established libraries are
free.
The report recommends that the APP
preparation for travelling library pur
poses be increased to 81, 600 and tina
for annual aid to 81 800 and the gen
eral appropriation to $500. 1t ais
calls attention to the fact that there i
a wide field for work in the state inst
tutions, hardly any of which are ade
quately supplied with reading matter.

a Notable Pronouneement

In my judgement the County Work of
the Young Mems Christian Association
has the best possible leverage upon the
country church problem. This serious
problem, to the best of my knowledge
and belief. has never been approached
in a broad, thoroughgoing, scientific
manner until this County Work move
ment began.
Ibelieve in the country church, and
/ believe it will ultimately save the
rural life of our country; but base my
faith quite largely upon Gods use of
this splendid INSTRUMENTATION reh-
gious and social agency, whose repre-
sentatives are planning, with nation
wide vision, a campaign of righteous
ness, with the county as the unit
Let the County Workmen with their
| fine, consecrated courage and wide vi
sion enter every county in the land;
make their thorough sociological survey
of the resident forces and needs of the
county; and, with their unbiased atti-
tude toward all sects, lead the way to a
real federation of all Christian activi-
ties for the saving of the whole man
and of country life. Then the Kingdom
of God will speed its coming.
If country churches and ministers are
as wise as they are consecrated, they
will gladly welcome and cooperate with
their fellow ministers the County Sec
retaries, to the best of their ability. -

of Practical Theology.

swimming, is celebrating her 80 birth
day. During the preliminary festivities
she found time to reveal the mode of

gevity to be due and to give modern
woman advice on how to grow old
gracefully. Here is Mrs. Satterlee's
recipe for a long and healthy life:

Good News from Youths Com
paniOn.

We have had to make The Youth s
Companion larger to get in all the good
things that Companion readers ought to
have. The added amount would make
four hundred pages of standard maya
zine size and print; but we have kept
the price just the same-$1.75 for the
fifty-two weeks of 1911, and all the is
sues for the rest of this year free from
the time you send in your subscriptions
We would like to tell you what is in
store for Companion readers next year.
We cannot do it here, though; there is
not room. But send US your address on
a postal card and we will send you the
beautiful Prospectus of The Companion
for 1911, announcing many new features,
together with sample copies of the
paper
We think you will agree, when you
have read them, and there is no other
paper that gives quite so much of such
high quality as The Companion.

The Onward March of the Sky
ScraperS.

More skyscrapers are in the process
of construction in the lower part of the
city. Where they stand there stood a
row of small brick houses with their
gable ends to the street in the days
"when old New York was young"
The workmen could almost throw a
stone to the spot where Fort Amster-
dam used to raise its frowning battle
ments that citizens of New York might
sleep sound o. nights without fear of
being pulled out of their beds by Spanish
pirates or French sailors.
From the topmost girders one can look

stupendous structures are concerned.
All of them can be seen from the top OF

six hundred and twelve feet high, divid-
ed into forty-one stories; the St. Paul
building, three hundred and eight feet
high; the Times building, four hundred
and nineteen feet high, and the Pulitzer
building, over three hundred and
seventy-five feet high. The list of
buildings which range in height from
two hundred to three hundred feet is a
long one, and is constantly growing.
The new Municipal building, when com
pleted, will be over four hundred feet
high. 1t seems but yesterday when a
ten-story building was regarded with
amazement. At the close of the Civil
War building four stories in height
was regarded as a fair-sized business
structure, but that was before the city
had spread over good part of four
counties. The Christian Herald.

Ladies' of the G. a. r.

Mrs. H. E. Batchelder, writing from
Burlington, gives a very encouraging
report of the growth and activity of
the ladies of the Grand Army of the
Republic in that city.
At well attended meeting of Gar
field circle, No. 4, September %, the
department president, Mrs. Carrie
Nash, also Mrs. Allen of Middlebury,
was present. Mrs. Mash made few
pleasing remarks in regard to the duties
of the organization and urged that at
the next election of officers, great care
be exercised in selecting members who
are qualified to fill their respective Of
fees. One of the most pleasing fea-
lures of the evening was the initiation
of granddaughter of veteran, and
the earnestness with which she repeat
ed the obligation carried conviction that
she would remain loyal to the charge.
A sum of money was presented to the
circle by one of the members, with the
request that it be placed in the memoria
fund, in memory of her husband, who
has recently joined the silent army, the
army of the dead. 1t is the hearty CO
operation of the veterans in Burlington
and Middlebury that adds greatly to the
success of the order there.
In the journal of the proceedings o
the twenty-third national convention

Agricultural Department Notes.

The Agricultural Department of Lyn-

There are 30 students installed in the
dormitory which is the renovated San
born students home, and the routine of
work has been started. Every man has
some work to do in and about the dormi.
tory. There are several jobs to which
the men are allotted, in weekly shifts;
waiting on tables, washing dishes, errand
boy, monitor, jsnitors, fireman for the
furnace and the like. These jobs are
done outside of work and study hours.
The real work comes after school
work is done. At present this is only
two hours day from $50 to $50. On
Saturday they work from till 5. The
men are shifted each day, 80 that they
may try their hands at everything.
Last week they have been working on
the dairy barn foundation; this has been
graded, and the trench for the foundation
wall of cement dug. This has only taken
few men each afternoon. There has
been two men with team drawing sand
and gravel for the concrete work. Then
there has been another division cleaning
out the old hay barn which is to be used
for the shop.
Still another division has been helping
the carpenter put in the joists and lay
the floor for the shop. There have been
several small jobs in concrete which the
boys have done, such as steps, posts, etc.

kinson worked in one of the orchards,

ings; another worked piling brick; an
ether helped the carpenter; another
drew gravel; another worked cleaning
up the dormitory.
The boys range from IA to 81 years
of age and from all different life stations
and occupations Some have only been
through the graded school, while others
have been to or through the high school.
Some have always lived on farm while
others have never done so. In fact il
would be hard to find more of a mixture
in one class anywhere. After they have
gone through the course they will be
fitted, not only for the common farm
work, but also prepared for any emerg.
ency. They will have both the skill and
!, the knowledge, not only of the farm,
cattle, soil, crop, horticulture, poultry
etc, but also the construction of farm
buildings, concrete work, all kinds OF
shop work, in wood and iron, black
smithing, horseshoeing wagon making
and simple veterinary work.

u1iooleburY Register

At the recent Bellows Falls fair
plate of seedless appless was ex-
hibited by w. A. Wyman. The ap-
pies are quite curiosity as well as
being good to eat. Mr.. Wyman has
two trees of this variety and each one
yielded large crop and he had numer-
GUS requests from apple fanciers for
this variety of fruit. Several years ago
Mr. Wyman had tree which produced
both sweet and sour apples. Some of
them would be sweet on one side and
sour on the other and others would be
intermingled with streaks of sweet and
sour. The tree for some reason or an
other has been cut down and no effort
has been made to continue the variety.
