UNIFORM MUNICIPAL ACCOUNTING
House hill 447 introduced by the gentle
men from Vergennes" is a good measure
and ought to pass. Itrequires all officers
to settle their accounts thirty days be-
fore town meeting and report fifteen days
before the meeting. This would give
the voters and taxpayers an opportunity
to read and digest these reports and be
prepared to act intelligently thereon.
The benefits of such an act are manifest
and many.-Vergennes Enterprise.

An Oid-Time Favcrite.

II is pleasant occasionally TO re-
call some favorite from the pen of
our master poets, just as truly a
pleasure as it is TO look and look
again upon picture that We love.
And at this season. when the mi
grating birds are Fastening south,
have hastened. in truth-so that only
now and then does the eye discern
the figure OF one, telated, "darkly
lmn'd against the crimson sky" it
gives a peculiar pleasure to dwell
upon the beauties of the poem en-.
titled The Water Fowl" by William
\ Cullen Bryant. as follows:
Whittier. midst falling dew,
While glow the heavens with the last
steps OF day,
Far. through their rosy depths. dost
thou pursue
Thy solitary way
vainly the fowler's eye
Might mark thy distant flight to do
thee wrong.
As, dark limn'd upon the crimson
sky.
Thy figure floats along.
Seek'st thou the plashy brink
OF weedy lake,or marge OF river wide,
Or where the rocked billows rise and
sink
On the chafed oceans side?
There is a power whose care
Teaches thy way along the painless
Lone wandering, but not lost
All day thy wings have famed,
AT that far height, the cold thin at
mosphere,
Yet stoop not, weary. TO the welcome
land,
Though the dark night is near
And soon that toll shall end.
Soon shalt thou find summer home,
and rest,
And scream among thy fellows; reeds
shall bend,
I, Soon. o'er thy sheltered nest.
Thou'rt gone. the abyss of heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet on
my heart
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou
hast given
And will not soon depart.
He, who from zone to zone.
Guides through the uoundless sky thy
certain flight;
bn the long way that ! must tread
alone

THE NORMAL CHILD JUST
A HEALTHY LITTLE animal

some of the teachers were in our
court, and l had to send twelve
year-old boy to the reform school.
His mother said in the presence of
those teachers that he would not go.
Well, he was a runaway, technically
he was thief, he was incorrigible,
and he was considered hopeless.
What was the trouble? Weakness.
Now, why did that boy go alone to
the reform school? We got phone
message this morning that he had
arrived. We seldom ask whether
they get there or not; we are certain
they will go. Why did he go? Be
cause he was strong enough to last
one day. If 1 had said to that boy,
"One week from today you go to the
reform school," he would never
have gone. II know you can do 1t,
Bill, if you do it tonight, but if you
do it next week pal you are run
iiti6o WIN wiz b1ll yOu nv ", anu
you are not strong enough to resist
the temptation. If you can only go
tonight, you will 60" And Bill
takes his papers, as every prisoner
has done whom 1, have sent there,
travels all night, gets off in the dim
gray light of the early morning,
goes out into the country to the
prison, and faces the man on the
tower with the rifle to shoot down
those who come out, to ask him to
open the gates and let him in.
Now why did we adopt the system
of not sending policeman or
sheriff with these boys? Because
we have recognized this great prin-
ciple that, crime and immortality is
a matter of weakness rather than
or meanness, and our
fight has been to make the youth
strong, so strong that he can resist
temptation noto merely for a day or
a week, but forever.

mon, Margery Daw, Peter Piper and
the rest is in itself delightful, but
add to these the gorgeously pictur-
esque costuming, the ensemble
dancing, the classy catchy music
and the bright, spirited, humorous
dialogue, story and situation, and
one finds a combination irresistible.
Then, too, "The Gingerbread Man.
has one of the strongest of casts.
Such a collection of players as: VIM.

seldom sees in a single cast, besides

plowed it will be sowed to grass.
The league will also make similar
improvements between the street
curbing and the sidewalk on the
east side, as was done on the north
and west side, and when all this
work is completed the university
will be able to boast of a campus
which, not alone will be most hand
some, but which in the years to
come, will develop into one of the
most handsome tracts of grounds in
the state.
Work Planned.
Much work has been planned and
outlined by the league. At its last
meeting a committee was appointed
to confer with the school boards and
teachers of the various schools in
the city with the view of improving
the school grounds. The committee
will not only seek to interest the
teachers and members OF the school
board in the work, but also the pu
pills.; as it is believed that by so do
ing they will feel as though they
have an interest in 1t and will assist
in caring for the grounds.

Holman Comes This Fall.
The league had hoped to have
Fred V. Holman, of Portland, with
it at its last meeting but he was un-
able to come. He will, however, ac-
cept an invitation to visit the league
and deliver AN address in the fall
and the league has decided to hava
him come at that time and have him
make an address which will instruct
its members in the work to be un
dertaken at that season.
