Large Majority Assured

We believe that at no time in the
history of the Republican party in
Vermont has the prospect, so far as
state nominations are concerned, look
ed brighter. AS to Waterbury, any
way. we believe that Fletcher and
Howe. and in fact the entire ticket,
will receive the largest vote ever re-
corded in the state.
Some time during the campaign we
hope the voters in this locality and
especially in Waterbury, will have
the pleasure of hearing both Mr.. Flet
cher and Mr.. Howe discuss state is
sues and be given an opportunity
thereby tobecome personally acquaint
ed with the men who head the ticket
The platform adopted at the state
convention contains promises which,
If carried out las they certainly
should be) will continue TO make the
Republican the one party that stands
for something and is willing to go or
record as being the advocate of pro
gressive ideas
Loyalty to ones own party means
much. No one likes straddled. Vo
ters who are changeable are like mer
in business who are continually shift
ing from one thing to another and
then wonder why they are not sue
cessful.
We hope to see every voter in thi.
locality, and especially right here in
Waterbury, do his full duty at all the
elections during the coming months
Vermont is first in the national elec
tons, and if all true Republicans ar,
loyal the state will speak with suct
volume that its effect will be felt IN
other states which hold their cleo
tons at a later date-Waterbury Re

In the administration building well equipped
library Is at their disposal but contrary to expec-
tations the books preferred not those OF fiction
The boys favor books of travel, outdoor life and
biography, especially that Of great Americans
with Lincoln and Washington holding prominent
places. ...--
The school system begins with the primary
grades, some coming to the school unable to write
their own names Instruction is given in ali sub
iects usually taught in grammar schools. The
greatest number of the inmates are in or below
the seventh grade. but studies offered high
as the capabilities Of the individuals admit, some
students receiving as high as tenth grade high
school instruction. They attend school four hours
daily the forenoon usually being devoted to class
room instruction. There is practically no differ
ence in the methods employed in their instruction
and that given in the best public, schools.
Vocational Training is Featured.
When boy arrives at the school he is at once
assigned TO. some department. for work. If he
Fits i'm and takes 10 that particular kind of work
he is kept at that trade during his whole stay
in the institution, or until he has thoroughly
mastered it. II he fails to make good at this
first assignment, Their he is tried at something
else, practically following the lines of the vOca-
tional schools nov being established in different
cities of the Unted states. This plan has been in
vogue in several countries of Europe for a good
many years.

goodly surplus for SALE
One of the most popular trades with good
many of the inmates is that Of learning music
and to play an instrument. When a comDetent
director was employed for the school this trade
began to pick up at wonderful rate. He found
a long-limbed ungainly boy doing chores abouu
the place and at once said, "I'll make cracker-
lack trombone player out Of that chap. Today
the former chore-boy. after sixteen months In
struction, will play an entire selection Of a heavy
overture under critical inspection, with but
casual glance at the score. Others have been
quite as successful with the eornet clarinet, bari
tone horn. flute and other instruments. sixty
bows are now enrolled in the band. and not few
have asked perm ission to remain after their
.'hopor" month to perfect themselves as musi-
clans.
How n Boy Works His Way Out.
In the matter OF discipline. it may be SUM
married. thus On being enrolled, each boy Is given
5000 dement's. He can win ten merits per day for
good behavior, and these go to cancel his de-
merits perfect record for a month wins twenty
five extra merits. Three months Of good con-
duct win an extra 100 merits, making It's extra
merits for each quarter Of perfect department..
Extraordinary service of any kind wins still other
extra merit marks. When he has Cancelled all
his dement's he enters upon final month, called
honor" month. Usually the boys pass through
this final period without spelling their record,
and IL good home is awaiting lad he is paroled
for four months. II everything is right" at the
end of four months, the parole is extended for
one year, and this is again extended. from year
to year, until the boy reaches his majority.
Corporal punishment may be given. upon crdes
of the superintendent for attempts to escape. for
immortality and for insubordination. This II

stitution is all done In one department with an
up-to-date plant. and a boy with any sort OF
natural bent for baking or cooking has ample
opportunity to become proficient. 1t is boast
of the institution that as good bread is produced
here as can be made The negro inmates are es-
pecially fitted for this class of work and many OF
them are employed here. The result is that when
they again 20 forth into the world they have
practical working knowledge that fits them to take
places as cooks or bakers
In the tailoring department. where those who
show any skill with the needle are given chance
to perfect themselves, all the clothing used by
the inmates is made. except underwear and socks.
The output of this shop is no small item since each
boy has two suits of clothes, one Of rough khaki
for everyday use and neat dress suit of gray.
The caps to match are also made in the tailor
shop Here, too all the patching is done, and
every morning there is a pile OF clothing at hand
waiting repairs When boy leaves for home he
is given a neat suit Of civilian CLOTHES made to
his measure.
Made Pair Of Shoes for Governor.
Governor Chester II. Aldrlch was presented
with a pair of shoes, last Christmas, made in the
shoe shop of the Industrial school, He has testi-
fled they are delightfully."- comfortable. The
great handicap here in the view Of the authorities,
is the absence Of shoemaking machinery. All
the work is done by hand. The juvenile shoe
makers turn out a goody tale of work Just the
same. Each inmate has two pairs Of shoes, one
for working in and another for dress occasions.
Besides, each lad gets a new pair when he leaves
the school.
BOYS with bunch for farming or dairying can
have the benefit of practical work and Instruction
in both branches of agriculture; a skilled farmer
and dairyman gives systematic instruction, and
farm economics are emphasized in the teaching.
On rented land adjoining the school grounds the
farmer boys raise vegetables alfalfa, sugar beets
and other crops They also have the task of
doing the hauling and caring for the outside work

Important Court Decision.

Montrose.-Judge Shackleford of
the District Court in chambers at Del
ta rendered one of the most important
decisions which has ever been handed
down affecting the U. s. Reclamation
Service. John A. Masters, who had
proved up on 120 acres OF homestead
land in 1904, filed suit for an injunc-
tion to prevent the officers of the
Reclamation Service from construct
ing large canal through his land, be-
ing part of the west canal OF the I'm
compahgre Valley reclamation project.
1t was asserted by the plaintiff,
Masters, that the reclamation officials
lad established a camp near his land
end had placed force of men at work
upon his property excavating for the
ditch and that it was proving very in
furious to his property. The Reciama-
tion Service took the ground that all
patents which had been issued by the
government since 1900 contained a
clause which reserved right Of way
through the land for ditch purposes,
and that the government had right
under that provision to enter OH his
or any other lands.
Judge Shackleford made the injunc-
tion permanent and held that the res
ervation in the patent was too indef-
mite to be of any purpose and that
the only way the government could
construct ditch through the land
would be by due process Of law. Thus
work by the government on the West
canal must be stopped. The canal is
the uncompleted portion of the In
compahgre Valley project and was to
cost $4,000. The result may be that
the project will be tied up for many
months. The case will probably go to
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The question affects every reclama-
tion project In the West.
