Once more the crops that grow out west
The boards of trade are killing
And over their demise, so sad,
A lot of tears are spilling.
1t seems the wheat has got the rust,
The corn's stung by the weather,
And it is very truly quite
Distressing altogether.
All, well, they are accustomed to
This awful early slaughter
OF being murdered in their youth
BY wind and hail and water.
The spectators have way
OF furnishing disaster 4.
And piling on calamities
That follow fast and faster

Till some begin to doubt it,
For later on they find the crops

But now Cuba's misfortune Is to no

Unfair Charges.

II Is hardly believable that such an
ordinarily good-natured newspaper as
The Fair Haven Era would % 80 far
out Of the way Of the facts to criticize
state official as it does in It's editorial
about the state superintendent Of edu-
cation, printed elsewhere in this paper.

ground has already been covered in de.
tail in Mr. Stones benalf by several
leading Vermont newspapers and the I'm

Fair Haven friend If The Era, for in

errand when he visits the rural districts
with his public meetings and il II could
see for itself night after night, just how
tactfully he accomplishes it, the con-
temporary would hasten to withdraw
It's sarcasm and structures.
II is not true that we nave "a school
system that grows worse instead OF
better as the years roll around" IN
fact, lust the reverse of this PROPOSE
ton is true. We are, it must be admit
ted, more generally conscious Of faults
in our school system than we used to
be. but that is not because there were
not faults in it before-but because pop
ular interest in the subject was not so
actively aroused before as it has been in
recent years. And the larger part of Mr.,
Stones errand to the rural districts
has been for the purpose Of awakening
public interest in school matters, direct
ing the peoples attention to the kind
of education their children were getting,
and urging them to bring about the
changes and reforms demanded by the
more enlightened and more practical
school men Of the present day.
Mr.. Stone has labored night after
night before audiences in every town
in the state of Vermont in the past
three or four years urging the people
10 take more interest in their schools,
appropriate more money, and TO adopt
courses OF study that win do away with
