Points Regarding the Census.

The census begins April 10 and must be
completed In thirty days.
The enumerators will wear badge in
scribed United States Census, 1910"
The law requires every adult person to
furnish the prescribed information, but
also provides that it shall be treated con-
fidentially, so that no injury can come to
any person from answering the ques-
tions.
The Census Bureau, prior to April IS,
will distribute 70 every farm owner and
tenant in this state blank or schedule
containing the Census questions relative
to farm operations and equipment. This
should be filled up, if possible, not later
than the morning of April 10, but if any
one has been unable to fill it up by tina t
time, he should do it as soon afterwards
as he can.
People who do not speak English or
who do not understand the schedule COM
pletely should get help from others, if
possible, in filling it up.
The President has issued a procama-
ton, calling on all citizens to cooperate
with the Census and assuring them that
it has nothing to do with taxation, army
or jury service. compulsory school at.
tendance, regulation of immigration, or
enforcement of any law, and that no one
can be injured by answering the in
quiries.
1t is of the utmost importance that the
farm census of this state be complete
and correct
Therefore every farm owner and ten
ant should promptly, fully, and accur-
ately fill up the advance Farm Seized
ule" and carefully preserve it for the emu
merator when he calls.

THE ANTI-FLY CRUSADE.

Reproducing an eXortation of The
Messenger to the housewives of the land
to make crusade against the house fly,
The Norwich Bulletin says:
us such warning as this needed
The American housewife, as we know
her, is anti-f1y- she has been campaign
ing against the fly for the last half-cen-
fury, and every fly with any domestic
experience knows that she is fly fight
er from dewey morn to the cleaning of
the day, and then she proceeds to smoke
out the mosquitoes. She has sticky
tapes hanging, fly poison in saucers or
on adhesive paper, wire cages to trap
them and the paddle for knocking them
out at one fell swoop. The clean woman
abominates dirty fly and the war is on
the moment the first one appears with
out special signals or orders from head
quarters.
All this is charming in the woman,
but not much damaging to the fly.
The present crusade seeks to emphas-
lze two important points; first, that peo-
pie have not heretofore underst TODD
what a menace to public health the
common house fly is; second, that the
old-time methods of the house wife is to
get rid of the little pests were lust SO
much time and energy wasted because
they accomplish no permanent good.
A general crusade against this insect, a
crusade in which every household in the
land might join and one that began with
the destruction of eggs in the very
breeding places of the flies, would soon
practically rid America of this danger
Gus inhabitants. 1t is worth trying. -
ST. Adams Messenger.

OUR RURAL EDUCATION.
Heproach to MiddIebury College,
Declares Pre- sident John
m. Thomas

President John M. Thomas of Middle
bury college, made the remarkable dec
laration at the dinner of the Bostor
alumni of that institution at the Ven.
dome Saturday night that the condition
of rural education in Vermont was 9
reproach to the college of which he is
the head
E. II. Higley, of Groton school pre-.
sided and introduced President Thomas.
The latter said
1.-THE condition of rural education in
Vermont is the reproach of Mddebury,
just as the sad facts recorded in the re-
cent report of the Connecticut superin-
tendent of education are the shame of
the CONNECTICUT colleges. The minis
ters who deposited their books for the
founding of college in that colony did
not make that sacrifice for the building
of an institution that should fill the
world with her fame; they made it for
the sake of the children of the very
towns where no photographs of school
houses could be sent through the United
States mails.
"The colleges of New England were
founded for practical purposes and for
the service of the commonwealth.
Their walls were not built for luxury,
nor for culture that fourishes for its
own sake. The men of Newton and
New Haven were not concerned with
the fortunes of Greek and Latin and
mathematics;,t hey were concerned with
needs of men to be trained for specific
tasks in their colonies.
THE way out of present college
troubles is a return to the original pur-
pose of the New England college, name
ly, service Of the state in the training
of men for specific tasks in which the
state stands in need of workmen. Our
New England colleges must serve New
England, the New England that has
paid dearly for the right to claim that
service

After pointing out the bad influence
of dime-novel reading, the Springfield.
Mass, Republican reads a lesson in the
career of B. G. Spencer, as follows:
THE lesson is as absolute as it is over
wherelming. Not a criminal can pity
him while all honest folks must abhor
the man and his record. 1t is a lesson
pregnant with instruction. This is
what a young man coming out of a
well-ordered New England environment,
has done with his career. The moral
shipwreck is complete. Spencer had
his long day along the path of his DELHI
crate choice, but now comes the reckon
ing with outraged society" Just as
much as the newspapers can dim the
GLORY of the chief figures in thrashy
literature, they will be doing a great
service to society. - Barre Times.

In the midst of the uproar and Grim
ination over the Roosevelt Vatican Incl
dent, the following words of Bishop
Davis II. Moore before the New York
East conference of the Methodist church
stand forth with great force. I'm my
opinion, Mr.. Roosevelt has acted simply
as becomes any high-minded citizen of
a country pledged to civil and religious
liberty. His conduct reveals no animus
either toward the pope or Roman Catho-
licism. True Roman Catholicism can
never be in conflict with true Methodist
Episcopalianism and vice versa. By re-
newed devotion to the service of God, in
serving our fellow-men, all such ill-ad-
vised agitation should be rebuked. "
Bishop Moore's advice was taken, and
the conference refused t. adopt resolu-
tons one day or the other. - Barre

In letter published elsewhere in this
paper, Judge K. W. Gibson discusses
the question of direct primaries, laying
stress on the fact that this method of
electing officers is not new nor revolu-
tionary. People who have the impress
sion that the primary election idea is
wholly in an experimental stage should
bear in mind that it is in force in %
states of the union with the prospect of
its spreading materially within the next
few years. 1t was first used in Craw-
ford county, Penn, blythe Republican
party in 1860 and has been in force
there ever since. Of the 81 United
States senators elected two years ago
II were nominated by means of the d.
rect primary, while Is of the 81 COVER
nors chosen that year were nominated
by the same method Everywhere the
introduction of the direct primary has
been opposed by the same elements that
are now fighting it in New York state
and yet in no state where it has once
been tried has it ever been given up
Although the Vermont legislature of
1908 gave the question small considera-
ton it is bound to come up again this
fall, and even if the reactionaries sue
coed in preventing its adoption at that
time it will come into use in this state
sooner or later. Brattleboro Reformer.
