self and team After a few minutes
II was resolved that the South View
school have a school farm and a
superintendent was elected.
The plans for the farm were: Sow
rye fail 1910, plant corn spring 1911,
peas to be sowed- at the last working;
SOW rye and clover fall 1911, and plant
cotton spring 1912
Any institution to live and grow
must be built upon fundamental nat
ural laws. The school farm is thus
founded.
Instinct Tightly Guided.
One of the most powerful human In
stincts, the influence of which is en-
.phasized by William AIcDougall in his
recent Social Psychology" is the
Eregarious instinct. McDougall says
that this instinct2is of greatest social
Importance. having played great part
in holding societary forms. Professor
James, in his principles of Psychol-
oSy,' says of the normal man: ITO be
alone is one of the grea tost evils.
Solitary confinement is by many re-
gardcd as a mode of torture too cruel
and unnatural for civilized countries to
adopt" :;si
McDougall claims that though 1t is
sometimes assured that the monstrous
and disastrous growth OF London and
other large towns Is the result OF some
obscure economic necessity. az mat
ter of fact these towns have for n
long time. far exceeded the proper
tons that conduccd TO economic cm-
cheney and healthy social life.
He also claims that instead Of the
dullncss Of the country driving people
to tho towns it is the crowds in tho
towns, the vast human herd. Ina t

St. Johnsbury, Feb. 2O.-The st,
Johnsbury Commercial club, under the
able leadership of President Charles
Steele, is fast coming into its own.
Besides conducting series Of illustrat-
ed lectures in the interest of st. Johns
bury academy, the atheneum and the
museum with marked success, thus pro-
noting fine arts and awakening an in
terest in the culture which those insti-
buttons naturally impart if more fully
appreciated and understood. the club is
about to realize the real tangible fruition
Of some of it's more strictly commercial
enterprises. The Pillsbury Baldwin Co,
which the club induced to come from
Barton to st. Johnsbury last fall, is
now nearing the completion Of it's build
ing and will move in its machinery next
week. II win begin business operation
about the first of April bringing TO this
town twenty skilled laborers and their
families. Besides these. there will be
employed on the start about seventy
five unskilled men and this number will
doubtless be increased as the work OF
manufacturing their products increa SEES
AT this writing the common stockholders
have made their first payment on stock
and the preferred holders have made all
of their FIRST and part of their second.
The members Of the club have good rea-
son to rejoice in the success Of their
enterprise as well as the loyal adherents
to the town as a whole.
But this does not by any means cir
eumscribe the work of the club. As a
result Of recent meetings they have de-
cided to take hand in the affairs Of
the nation. President Steele has been
authorized to wire the United States
senators, Dillingham; and Page, urging
them to vote for the bin favorng reel.
