WANT ANOTHER INSTITUTION

The Messenger is very heartily in
sympathy with the disposition of the
Vermont press to eXtol the merits of
the state industrial school at Yer
gennes, because It believes that UNI
der the present management all that
is said in praise of the institution is
well deserved. But it insists, as a
matter of state policy, that great
wrong is being done unfortunate chill
dren that are sent to this penal insti-
tuition simply because the state has
no orphan asylum to which to com
nit them. AT Vergennes children
that have already begun vicious car
eer and other children that are sim
ply needful of home, are compelled
by force of circumstances to pass the
remaining years of their minority,
the most formative period Of life in
the same institution, in more or less
intimate association.
Is there not some other and more
approved way that the people of Yer
mont can manifest their philanthropy?
II Is proposed that the money now
spent in Vermont for the education of
detectives in the asylum for the
blind in Hartford and similar institu-
tions elsewhere be diverted to the
new Austine Institute in Brattleboro,
and there is much to be said in fav-
or of the idea, provided, always, the
service performed at Bratleboro will
be equivalent to the service now per-
formed. What, then, is to prevent
the state from supporting these or
phan children or waits mot vicious)

Hattin Home at Westminster?-St
Adams Messenger.
Here is a matter with a larger bear
ing upon the future civic life of the
state than two-thirds of the problems
that will have been discussed when
the present session of the legislature
comes to an end, yet to the best Of
our knowledge the st. Adams Messen-
ger is the only Vermont newspaper
that has recognized its Importance to
the extent of giving the subject SER

We'll Done.

The present speaker of the Yer
mont House of Representatives, writ
ing editorially in his newspaper, once
referred to Brattleboro as ''the most
public spirited town in Vermont"
This was a very handsome compli-
ment, and as a demonstration that 1t
was well deserved, I'VE point with
PRIDE" as the political platforms say,
to the cheerful announcement today
that the citizens of this town have
raised $4,000 by popular subscrip-
ton as the prerequisite for securing
the establishment here of the Ford
Dummer Mills, textile industry
which will add 1000 to the population
of the town. The special committee
appointed by Chairman Cowles Of the
board of trade labored valiantly, but
it was the gettogether spirit, with a
strong lift, which accomplished the
task which will give the town pres
tige and impetus and mark a new era
in its industrial development.-Brat-
tleboro Phoenix.

The Patriotic Societies

Among the important events Of the
week have been the meetings of sew
eral patriotic societies. These organ
izations are designed to perpetuate
the memory Of those who during the
colonial or Revolutionary period or
during the War of lS.2 defended their
homes and their ccu' ry against a
powerful foe, Withou rejecting in
the slightest degree u.s the patr1o-
tisn and good citize- , of Ameri-
cans Of foreign birth. it 5 right and
proper that We should le proud to
trace our lines Of desc mt to those
who subdued the wilderness and built
a nation more than century ago.
Honorable ancestry does not mean an
ancestry of wealth and high station.
1t does not insure the fact that the
descendants of the e 1eration will
be persons of refinement and real use
fu ness. 1t is. howeveg N incentive
to lead life that shal not detract
from the reputation es blished by
men of an earlier genelc ton.
Most of the ancestors ~ the mem.
bers of these societies ere plain,
simple, hard working farmer folk.
They cleared the forests md estab-
lished a home amid surroundings Of
hardship and peril When here was
need of soldiers to defend he cause
of liberty they were ready to make
great sacrifice leaving theig wives
and little ones in wilderness homes
to march to battle.
Every man and every woman who
can trace a line of ancestry to these
pioneer soldiers has just reason for
pride. No aristocracy can he found.
ed on such an ancestral record to such
forbears is a wholesome and patrio-
tic task.
Moreover the patriotic societies in
crease our stock of historical know
ledge through search for geneolo-
gical records. Interesting incidents
are brought to light that deserve a
place in the public records. The
marking Of historic sites is promoted
and the love of country Is stimulated.
Names of obscure soldiers and patri-
OTIS who were real heroes are saved
+, from oblivion.
If any person thinks these societies
are merely social organizations the
chief duties Of which consist in CIV
ing pink teas and holding receptions,
they are greatly in error. They serve
very useful purpose and they des-
erve the hearty cooperation and sup
port of the people of the state whom
they serve so well-Montpelier Jour.
