Teaching Vermont.

The Age prints this week in it's
series of Vermont reprints the vale
dictory address delivered by Miss
Ruth Chalmers of the Rutland High
school--a paper of much historical
interest and an accurate study Of
some of the old-time features of YER
mont life. 1t is taken from the col
umns of the Rutland News and its
first publication is due to Horace w.
Bailey, an enthusiastic student Of
Vermont history, who writes of YER
mont history and talks much on the
same subject. His great interest in
the teaching of Vermont to YER
monters is largely responsible for the
increasing attention given to the
subject in Vermont schools.

The boy stopped to look in window.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

There are many matters connected
with human affairs that are beyond
human knowledge.
We know they exist, but why, Omnip-
otence only understands.
But when it comes to. cold-blooded,
everyday business affairs like banking,
we find that given conditions certainly
produce their logical results.
Here is concrete illustrations:
On the first day of July, 1907, the Hyde
Park Savings Bank had deposits aggre-
eating $844, 1854. Four years later, to
wit, on the first day of July, 1911, those
deposits had increased to $2,018, 306.77
139 per cent. or 81, TIA, 148.43 gain in
four years.
The first utterance given to state
ment Of this kind is at cannot be
true"
The second is, 1.-The growth is phe-
nomenal."
And then we say. cit is simply Won
derful-how can it be?"
Figures do not lie and the cold facts
in the matter are that in the little vii
lage of Hyde Park with it's population
of only 423, there is Savings Bank
which the people of Vermont hold in
such high esteem that for four years the
deposits therein have exceeded the with
drawals by between 5000 and $1,000 for
every working day in the four years.
To be exact aboue it, 1896 per working
day.
What is the explanation?
Simply that the people of Vermont
have watched the growth of the La
noble County Savings Bank and Trust
Company with unusual interest because
of its management and its methods of
investments.
They have not failed to observe that
in its entire existence of more than
twenty-five years. the funds of the bank
have been invested with such excellent
judgment and with such painstaking
care that the.bank has a record, proba-
bly, unparalleled, of never having lost a
dollar by poor note.
The man or boy having money to de-
post has simply said to himself, the
very safest, the very strongest, and the
most conservative Savings Bank man
agement is none too good for me, and if
the four per cent. interest paid by the
Hyde Park bank is the highest rate of
interest paid by any Vermont bank, and
it is perfectly safe to send money by
mail-and the records show that not a
dollar of deposits sent by mail to this
bank was ever lost-why shouldn't
place my funds for investment and safe
keeping in the Hyde Park bank ~
The question is natural one and the
answer follows as naturally as the night
follows the day.
Really, there is nothing mysterious
about this abnormal and phenomenal
growth.

Good Roads.

Good roads are necessary aid to
the development of Vermont's re-
sources, to its development as sum-
mer resort, and the state is now
annually adding to its mileage OF
model highways. The Age hopes
they will not remain long unmapped,
but actual progress in roadmaking
throughout the state is the main
thing now.
The railroad situation is not 80
encouraging, thanks to the late legis-
lature and the war between the
Grand Trunk and the Boston &
Maine corporations-awrangle which
began in Rhode Island, or is kept
going by outside infuences-and
Vermont is the sufferer, especially
the eastern part of the state. The
other side of the mountain is made
much more accessible from New York
better transportation facilities while
the Boston & Maine will perhaps be
compelled to bring visitors into the
eastern part of the state by way OF
New Hampshire. If the Grand
Trunk-Central Vermont had ever
shown any special zeal for the inter-
ests of the territory through which
it passed there would be less resent
ment now at its hostility toward any
competition.
