COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.

North park has been settled for
nearly thirty years and has no high
school yet, and Is It not about time
that we get busy and establish one.
Do not our children deserve a good
education as we'll as the children Of
other counties? Why should the cit
liens Of this county be compelled to
send their childre Ct to some other
county to get high school education
We have been informed on reliable
authority that the cost would not be
over one mill and probably not that
much. We have a school bulIdino
here which was built with the In.
tention Of having a high school and
will accommodate the other grades and
one extra teacher would be prac-
ticaIIy all the expense. It has been
said that we have not enough pupils

one hundred or should II be two
hundred, are not the sixteen or
twenty pupils in the county who are
ready for the high school entitled to
the advantages Of higher education
as much as II there were twice a.
many? Perhaps we did not have the
advantages Of high school educa-
tion, but that 10 no reason why our
children should not have thems
We must In time have a high school
and why should we put Il off, the
time to establish il is now while the
board Of county commissioners will
appropriate part Of the forest re-
serve fund for county high school pu
poses.
Are not our children just as
dear to us and do they not deserve

children of people who live In other
counties and should they not 90

out on the front pages of the papers,
Boston Evening Herald.
But the thin-ieers are coming to the
fore in sickening increase. BY featuring
these ice fatalities and calling attention
to the danger, the newspaper may do a
good service. Parents may take the
lesson home to themselves if the news
papers keep drumming the warning home.
1t is too much perhaps to expect that
the youngsters themselves will take heed
from the experiences of the others who
have lost their lives in foolish expedi-
tions on ice which is not of tried
strength. Many of these thin ice fatal.
ties are due TO the spirit of braggadocio
which causes young people to desire to
make their comrades admire what seems
to be courage. "Follow the leader" il
fayorite sport, In which the leader en-
deavors to do things which the Others
dare not do It is very harmful sport,
aside from the peril Of it, because it
raises false standard of courage and
bravery in the minds of the young
people.
Along this line is the opinion of the
Springfield, Mass, Republican, which
says:
Several victims of skating on thin ice
have been reported, first Of the seasons
crop. 1t ought not to require any more
fatalities to convince boys and girls and
men of the reality of this peril and to
lead them to avoid it. There is no honor
in such DEATH"
If this idea of bravery could be dom
inant in the lower schools, too, it would
do away with many Of the senseless
sacrifices of lives, which we read about
every day,

The continuance Of the present mill
tary company at Montpelier is said to
hinge on the consent OF a certain man to
accept the office of captain. 1t is =
rather slight reason-for being on the
part of an important branch of the
Vermont National Guard, but it can be
utilized for the present to tide over a
low ebb of Company HIS career. Once
the company is rehabilitated and in first
class standing again, as it is hoped viii
be the case, it will take more than one
mans decision to determine its future.
But for the present then, this man
ought to be prevailed upon to accept the
duty, as it apparently means much.
