would possibly differ in different cities
but several such are available and it
would seem to be the part of wisdom

That a great amount of water is vast

those who are in a position to know,
Those who are responsible for the waste
have simply overlooked the matter
through belief that Barre's supply is
ample enough. Let them look after the
matter at once.

Barre is getting ambitious, OF truth.
1t aspires to be on the main line of
the Boston & Maine railroad and it has
fond expectations OF the erection of a
new railroad station. Barre has been on
the side track long enough and deserves
to be brought within the scope of the
main travelled roads. Rutland News.
Getting" ambitious, did you sayi
Guess you never have known much about
Barre's heart longings since the middle
of the last century. Just as long ago as
the Central Vermont gave Barre the 60
by through the persuasion of Governor
Paine, Barre has been hoping for a
main line of railroad; and its hopes are
still strong.

The Hardwick Gazette denies that
Hardwick is short Of power for the gran
lite business, but it will have hard
time catching up with the statement
that Hardwick's recent labor strike was
due to the uncertainty of the electric
supply. The latter statement was fool
ish enough to one who is acquainted
with labor matters, but it seems to have
found credence in some places.

THE SOLID SESSION SCHOOL DAY.
According to the vote of the BurIing-
ton school commissioners, the single ses-
sion in the high school has not proven SO
satisfactory as the former two-session
system by which the high school pupils
attended school three hours in the fore
noon and two hours in the afternoon,
with two hours interval at noon; and
therefore, they have voted to resume
the former schedule with the opening
of the next school year The matter
hinges largely on the question whether
the afternoon is used for study purposes
under the single session plan. The sim
gle session school day was introduced
primarily to permit the pupils to have
the opportunity to study quietly at
home; if the opportunity is turned into
liberty to do something else, the scheme
must be called more or less of failure.
That it has failed in part ip Bllrling-
ton is disclosed by the complaint that
the afternoon holiday is too much given
up to floating on the streets or at
tending to something other than school
duties. Barre is another city where
single solid session has been tried in the
high school; and thus far there has not
been great public criticism, although
some scattered complaints have been
heard. 1t must be admitted that in
any city the solid session lays itself
open to fragrant abuse because of the
freedom from restraint which it grants
the young people.

WASTING OUR WATER SUPPLIES

WASTING OUR WATER SUPPLIES.
II is none too early to warn users Of
water from the city water system to use
it with reasonable economy although
the supply the present time seems

age basin on the Orange brook supply

demands; but all around there is already
crying complaint or the shortage OF
the water supply. New York City it.

of hose has been stopped thus early in
the season. Coming nearer home, there
is Poultney on the western side of Yer

Timely warning is given in the cur

The last year or two has seen cities,
