For Vermont COLLEGES.

The House has done well in passing
the bill introduced in the first days of
the session-it is H. 4--increasing the
appropriations for the University of
Vermont and Mddlebury College to
$3.50 each annually. Middlebury
College is the chief beneficiary, the APP
preparation being for the support of it's
recently instituted school of pedagogy.
Both institutions have made remark
able progress within the last few years.
That of the University of Vermont was
indicated the other day by the gift
from the Rock efeller foundation, fol-
lowing the raising of the endowment
fund. AS to Middlebury, the case is
well stated by the Montpelier Journal.
eff Middlebury College," the Journal
says, "can maintain its present rate of
progress doubling its attendance in six
years and its yearly income in three
years and adding large building to its
plant each year, it will make a record
among American colleges which will
spread the good name of Vermont over
the entire country. 1t would lift the
entire State to have another Dartmouth
within Vermont territory. There is no
reason why Middlebury should not go
on to make as good record as the
New Hampshire institution has made
In location the advantage, if there be
any, is in favor of Middlebury. The
ancient traditions of the two institu-
tions are very much alike. The recent
rapid growth of Middlebury must have
inspired confidence in its future. Bur

Broadway; her daughter, Mrs. Maud
Muller of No. COL West 168th street,

Forest Preserves.

New York is setting Vermont an ex-
ample which we might do well to follow
in small way by establishing forest
preserves. Large tracts have been es-
tablished and the work is still progress
ing. The immediate purchase of much
land within the boundaries of the Adj
rondacks and Catskill state forest pre-
serves will be recommended by New
York s state comptroller in his report
to the Legislature. 1.-THE present
method of acquiring lands" the comp
troller says, "seems unbusinesslike,
and i'll calculated to accomplish its pur-
pose in the most economical manner.
Apparently little effort has been made
to effect the purchase of these lands
except as the property has been volun-
tarily offered to the state. If the
present attitude toward this great pro-
ject is continued, increasing prices
must be paid for the lands to be ac-
quired.
New York now owns 1,577, $40 acres,
of which III, 525 acres are in the Cats
kills. Burlington News.

We republish this week the article
upon automobiles by Jefferson de Mont
Thompson which appeared first in the
New York Times of January LIST. 1t COM
prehends fully the conditions which have
been reached upon this remarkable ex-
perience, and the one and only method
by which the use of the peoples high
ways can be further used in Europe,
and soon in this country; and that is
that the automobilists must assist in
good faith the State Government in
regulating the use of their machines so
that their wear of the highways, as well
as the danger accompanying their use,
will be reduced to minimum.
They will perceive, too, that their IL
cense fees must be raised so as to fully
cover the destruction of the roads.
Again the people must have chance,
the great minority of them, as well as
the small majority, to travel in safety
and enjoy the heritage, which God has
given them. In this State the proper
ton of those who do not own automo.
mobiles to those who do, is 80 if not &c
to |. 1t follows that autos must be con.
fined to certain roads, and upon then
their speed limited to in no case more
than 20 miles an hour.

An Injurious Habit.

"Now | know why your eyes are so
often inlamed," said the trained nurse
to a friend whom she saw at her type
writer. "Four times while l have been
talking you have rubbed your eyes
with those germ laden fingers"
The girl, who wrote In white gloves
to ave her nerves, was quite nco
seious Of the habit, yet the danger to
her eyes was none the less great.
1t is the unconscious rubbing that
makes work for the oculists. Most of
us are careful enough when we know
we have been exposed to contagion. 1t
Is daily, when all seems well, but dam
ger turks, that we grow careless.
An old doctor, now dead, used to
tell the nurses under him: Don't let
your patients rub their eyes If you can
fight them out of it. When you can't
struggle longer, teach them to use the
back of the wrist rather than the fin
ger tips"
This is such good advice 1t should
be passed along. The BACK of the wrist
Is equally effective in removing irri-
tation in the eye, but has far fewer
germs than have the ends of the fin
gers that are constantly touching dis
eased surfaces.
