THE STATE ELECTION.

Barrels majority in favor of no-license
yesterday was large enough to be indica-
tive conclusively of the trend of senti-
ment among its citizens at the present
time. There can be no doubt that the
people of the municipality wish for no
license, and it should be taken to mean
also that they wish for as close enforce
ment of anti-liquor selling as it is pos
sble TO make. The same can be said of
the entire county, not one town of which
except Calais came near voting in favor
of license. The outcome of the elections
in the twenty cities and towns is rather
surprising in its unanimity.
As for the result in the state at large,
it is also evident that the local option
sentiment has taken still more decided
turn against the existence of the open
saloon, the license majorities of the past
few years having been considerably re.
duced and the number of towns so voting
being much less than last year.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

1t is an unusual offer which awaits
the parties who suit M. j. Hapgood OF
Peru, VT, the wealthy man who some
times comes up to the legislature by Sc
lection of the voters and other times on
his own initiative as an independent on
looker, but always interested in the well
fare of the state. Mr.. Hapgood, whose
aims are generally laudable, but whose
methods are sometimes too devious and
eomplex, has guaranteed the use of three
farms in Peru, rent free, irewood free,
free material for repairs, taxes paid, and
for a period of five years, to the three
parties who satisfy his requirements;
and, it may be added, that a decent, in
flustrious man with family (the more
children the better) will just about fiji
the bill. At the same time he offers
three other farms OF lesser grade under
similar conditions, the proviso in this
ease, as in the preceding, that the pro-
posed occupant be other than resident
of the town OF Peru. This proviso isn't
because Mr.. Hapgood doesn't love his
neighbors-no, indeed; it's because he is
anxious to bolster up the waning popu-
lation of his town, and this is one of his
methods. Inssmuch as these farms con.
tain about one hundred acres each and
most of them have farm buildings in
fair state of repair it looks like good
proposition for six Industrious, econom-
lcal, respectable men, especially since the
tenants are to have the right to purchase
IT the end of their period of rent free
occupancy and, more so, because it is
more than probable that in his anxiety
to repopulate the town of Peru Mr.. Hap
good would be willing to dispose of the
farms at low price. However, the per-
ions who make the application musi

No one would for a moment imagine

when you have nothing else to do cut a
small square of onion and square OF
apple of the same size, close your eyes
and hold your nose tightly and then
get some one to hand you one of the
squares without telling you which one
it is. You would be well advised not
to wager any money on being able to
tell by chewing which 1t is. The expla-
nation is that a large part of what we
call taste is really smell.-Pearson's

CURRENT COMMENT
The Summer School as an Educational
Factor.

! When the future historian writes of
| the last years Of the nineteenth century,
| he will no doubt mention as one of the
! significant educational movements the
establishment of summer schools. Long
summer vacations were provided in the
| past chiefly because our ancestors were
farmers and the young people were need.
! ed in the summer to help ON the farm.
Our long vacation is largely a relic OF
the days of our grandfathers. We are
now beginning to seek profitable ways
of using that period,
The needs of teachers are somewhat
different from the needs OF younger stu
dents They want to get supply of
ideas to be used in a particular way,
rather than to acquire power and learn
the methods of scholarly work For that
reason, the short term is especially
adapted to them. 1t takes time To grow,
it does not take so much time to get.
The college professor must make allow
ance for growth, and therefore does not
give matter as fast as he can to his
college students, but when he has a class
of teachers or others who wish to get
all of the material they can in a short
time and reflect on it afterwards, he Sc
leets the best he has for that class.
II he is fitted to the requirements of
summer school work, he will put nearly
as much into short course as he would
under other circumstances into longer
one.
One of the greatest teachers in Amer
lea has said that scholar should be able
to tell all he knows on a subject in one
book, or in one chapter, or in one para
graph if need be. This is perhaps put
ting ii too strong, but the ability to con.
dense or expand is one OF the marks OF
good teacher. The summer term offers
condensed courses and that is why it is
so valuable for those who wish a large
amount of matter, to be digested after
wards. From Burlington Free Press,

BARRE VOTERS PUBLIC INTEREST

The Times has had occasion several
times TO commend the voters of Barre on
their publicspiritedness in going to the
polls on election day; and if the com
mendation was applicable then, it most
surely was yesterday, when IS per cent.
of the total registered strength of the
city cast their ballots. That all but
twelve per cent. of the registered voters
out of total of but slightly short OF
two thousand should have voted in an
election which was preceded by very
little agitation is quite unusual. 1t
speaks well for the interest of Barre's
citizens in their municipality. 1t is evil
dence also that the voters are doing some
independent thinking.
