AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"Under One Flag"

This yitagraph release is typical H.
lustration of Civil war times from a
southern aspect. Judge Stark is most
thorough representative of the straight.
backed, straight laced, strongly preju-
diced southern gentleman. The scene
opens when he and his daughter, Bet
tic, are bidding the judges son, Capt.
Stark, goodbye as he starts for the
front; all are evidently animated by
but one Thought of the certain
defeat OF their opponents.
1t is a sad blow to the judge when he
receives a newspaper relating the capture
and Imprisonment OF his son; his south
ern temper is displayed with marvellous
vigor; his pride has received a serious
setback, and although he would fain an
initiate everyone himself, so great is his
blending of pride, anger and defiance
circumstances compel him to accept the
humiliation and bow TO the inevitable.
The impersonation of Lincoln by Mr..
Ralph Ince is ono OF the features of
this film, it being claimed for Mr.. Ince
that his ability to impersonate the ia
nous president is most superior, This
is one grand picture ri the one grand
flag under which unity prevails. peace
reigns supreme and love triumphs over
prejudice. It's at Dreamland.

Bishop HamiIton's Busy Day.

| II Rev. John William Hamilton, bishop
OF the Methodist Episcopal church, had
| heen at home on Sunday. something
would have happened in Boston; but
Methodist bishops seldom are at home
for longer time than is necessary to
snatch fresh handkerchief and put on
clean collar, wherefore on this occa-
sion things had to happen in the re-
gion of Portland, Me. In the morning
the bishop preached at Westbrook and
incidentally raised church debt. In
the afternoon he preached at Knight
vile, after which he put his shoulders
under another church debt and lifted it
almost out of sight In the evening he
came to Portland and burned the last
evidence of indebtedness upon church
that only few years ago, was threat
ening to disband and die. At this point
the record pauses. We are left to in
fer that the bishop ceased and came
away, But almost anywhere between
Portland and Boston he may have
dropped off or been dragooned from the
train to vitalize some angmic congre-
CATION or charm reluctant dollars from
the pockets of persons whose favorite
hymn has always been, I'm Glad Sal
vation's Free"
We do not present this as an excep-
tional, but rather as typical instance
of Bishop Hamilton's activities. They
began in this locality some thirty-six
years ago, when he built the Peoples
church on Columbus avenue by indue-
ing good Methodists and others to pay
ten cents for brick, and they have been
continued all the way from Alaska,
where he organized the Methodist mis-
sions, to London, where he practically
"ran'the last two Ecumenical confer.
ences. We cannot hold it against the
bishop that, at the ripe age of sixty
six, he outworks any youth who was
graduated last year from the theological
school, and since debts have to be paid
some time or other, we do not reprove
the impulse that prompts him, when he
sees debt, to lower his head and charge
at it, But there are younger men who
should be in training for heroic labors
like his, and the bishop should stand
aside for while and give them a chance
to practice. Boston would like to see
and hear more of him. 1t us suggest
that during 1912, when he is not en-
gagged in holding conferences, he pur-
sue an easy and restful life. doing moth |
ing but preach in Boston churches six
nights of the week and three times on

CURRENT COMMENT
Screen Eyed Monster"

1t is perhaps an infringement on Brat
tleboro's specific prerogative, but the
Rutland Herald asserts that the duke OF
Connaught passed through" Rutland on
his way from Ottawa to New York
Thus we see that one of the benefits of
being on main line is the relationship
which it affords a city or town with
royalty and others. because royalty and
the others can't help it. Unfortunately
it was a. m. when the relationship
was formed, so that the duke was UNI
able to see what really fine city he
had become related to BY passing
through. Barre Times.
1t is not that royalty makes use of a
main Travelled line lying through Rutland
that calls forth the sheer of our contem-
porary. The sting lies in his own horri-
BILE isolation. His attitude is very much
the same as that of an ice bound whaIer
reading of a yachting cruise to Nassau
or the Bermudas. 1t makes him hot
under his ''choler" in spite of his arctic

GOING TO WASHINGTON FOR MOTH
ING OR SOMETHING.

Over in Rutland some doubt has been
raised as to the educational value of
these pilgrimages of young people from
the high schools to the national capital;
and that doubt has turned into vigorous
objection on the part of some of the
parents. In commenting on the matter.
the Rutland Herald expresses its opinion
as follows:
Educational value is rather an elias
tic phrase; when applied to the trims to
Washington INDUCED in by students of
the high school, it has rather a doubtful
significance. 1t is not clear why good
stiff course in civics and the elements OF
constitutional law supplemented by Lam
tern slide or moving picture representa-
tions of official Washington should not
serve every purpose. At least this course
would have the merit of eliminating GER
tain doubtful educational features of the
junket. What these doubtful education
al features are, it were perhaps invidi-
GUS to detail, but there is no question
as to their existence"
II has been our conclusion in this
connection that while some of the stu
dent sight-seers are closely taking men
tai impressions of these new and en-
tirely strange scenes, to be called upon
as fund of information later in life.
the Others are romping through the ex-
cursion, fitting from one thing to an
other with butterfly instability and get
ting little more than a confused tumble
of ideas which are of little real value
and which, in fact, may be harmful be-
cause of their insccuracy. Whether
these excursions TO Washington, there
fore, are worth the large expenditure of
money that is required is a matter open
TO difference of opinion. The trouble
lies in the fact that as rule the ex-
cursions are class affairs and, to keep
up with the others, no one in the class
really wishes to stay at home; in which
case many go to Washington, to whom
the trip,is not worth much, surely not
worth the money that is expended. Ii

Colleges and Culture.

The humanizing of the college course
is going ahead most rapidly when Smith
college, for instance, adds cooking and
sweeping to the curriculum This fact
taken in connection with the recent an
nouncements by several colleges that
Greek is to be dropped and, in some
cases, Latin also. for the A. b. degree
shows what a remarkable change is com
ing over the higher institutions of learn
ing Figuratiyely speaking, they are
coming out of the shell which has shell
tered them for SO many years.-Barre
Times.
1t isn't so much emergence from a
she'll, as it is an entire radical change
in the conception of a college and its
work.
The old conception was culture
The new conception is practical prepa
ration for the practical duties of life
The experience of ages has proved be-
yond all controversy that the study of
the classical languages and literatures
gives mental culture that can be OBJ
tanned in no other way. But it does not
qualify student for practical ca
reer
On the other hand mathematics and
its allied sciences make no contribution
whatever to culture, but they are sim
ply indispensable to modern practical
meal education which leads almost i'm
mcdiately to positions OF trust and re-
sponsibility, the pay of which is high,
generally speaking, and the prospects
for advancement excellent.
These facts have created general
demand for technical courses, and the
colleges have answered it--and answered
il to such an extent that they offer
everything that can be reasonably asked
for in this respect. and more than that,
have so cut down their classical" courses
in favor of practical studies that but
little more than the name of classical
is left. A single year of Greek is all
that American colleges now insist on in
their classical courses, we believe, and
no doubt that lone. solitary year will
be dropped in due time.
The old fashioned college with culture
as its sole aim is gone for ever. The
practical college, adapted TO men now
on earth and with the practical courses
demanded by the human race. takes its
Gitlcts iic hto bcth Sb dhhdi
that it has hardly been noticed. II is,
however, full Of significance. The ideals
of six hundred years have been discard
ed, and new and practical standards have
been substituted 1t is a new world we
live in, this Notwithstanding world of
ours.
Not everybody understands the change
In all his obituaries Mr.. Crane of Chi
cago, who died the other day, was set
down as "the foe of colleges" Now
Mr.. Crane did not OF course object to
young men learning civil and electrical
engineering, etc He didn't know how
greatly things had been changed at our
colleges. What he objected to was the
old fashioned college with its courses
narrowly limited to the classics. As We
have intimated. the modern college is
something very different and almost
wholly practical Mr.. Crane was Chi
cago Don Quixote. fitting at educational
windmills. And there are Others much
like him, who. in the words of Yer
mont orator. Ought to pause and take
their soundinps as they pass the mile
stones of life" Burlington News.

Cut the Red Tape.

II legislators are looking for a sign
of the attitude of the public on the ques-
tion of admitting the Grand Trunk rail-
road to this city, they should give atten.
ton to the resolution passed by unani-
nous vote by the chamber of commerce
'indorsing heartily" the proposed extern
sion of the lines to this center. The
legislature is yet TO pass upon the adj
mission of a petition of this railroad
which requires two-thirds vote of both
branches; if public sentiment in the
business section is any guide, the legis-
lature will make no mistake in taking
affirmative action.
We shall never develop the port of
Boston by excluding railroads from en-
tering it, and the only thing to be &C.
eomplished by refusing courtesy to the
petitioners will be to delay the entrance
Of the legislation until next year; that

While murderers are paying the pen
atty for their act. as the law of the
state where the offense was committed
prescribes, it is with full belief in tho
correctness of the particular verdict that
the general public reads of the refusal
of Governor Dix of New York to inter-
fere with the execution OF Albert w
Wolter, whose crime was doubly heinous.
As the New York Evening Sun remarks:
at is sufficient comment upon the crime
committed by Albert w. Wolter to say
that if ever a criminal deserved the ex~
IRENE penalty of the law, he is that
man. As for the law, it seems clear
that so long as the death penalty re.
mains on the statute books it should
be enforced wherever the facts and the
law demand it," Furthermore, one
might well conclude with the contempt.
rary that the end of the Wolter case
should see the beginning of reform
which will make such crimes impossible.
If it be not beyond human ingenuity to
do SO.

THREE TO TWO
Was Score of Apollo Clubs Victory Over
vincitia Last Night.

BY three points to two, Apollo club OF
Montpelier defeated Vincitia club of
Barre at Montpelier last night in the
first of the annual tournaments between
the two organizations, Vincitia winning
the two bowling competitions by good
margins, being far behind in the dupli-
cate whist match and losing the billiard
and pool matches by small margins. The
evening was one of enjoyment to a large
number of both clubs Vincitia sending
about 80, who returned by special cleo
trio car shortly before o'clock this
morning. In the course of the evening"
buffet luncheon was served.
The bowling competitions took place
on the Daley alleys early in the evening.
In the big pin match, there was nothing
to it but Vincitia, but in the candlepius
Apollo showed up much better. The scores
in those matches were as follows:

association is one of the chief movers
for good roads, just as the Vermont
state association is in Vermont; and,
if reports are reliable, Maine has a big

noting that the coming of the automo-
