THE PUTNEY COLUMN
What We Need to Build UP our Little
Country Towns.

What We Need to Build Up our Little
Country Towns.
Editor of The Phoenix:
If a person is thinking of going into
the country to live, almost the first thing
asked is What are the school accommo-
dations?" Almost any fair-minded man
or woman who has little family grow
ing up thinks of these things, which are
a benefit to the family. Here in the
town of Putney are the most beautiful
farms ON the Connecticut river, called
East Putney meadows. There are none
better in the Vermont valley. Here are
young children growing up. What are
the school accommoda tions here, where
there are many heavy taxpayers?
In our cities pupils who live far from
schools are transported at the cities ex-
pense, but here If pupils reach the high
school before the age of 10 years they
are given the paltry sum of $3.50 a week
for train service to Brattleboro, which
does not cover the bill, and tuition free
until they are 10. Then, If the parents cam
not afford to pay the children's board
they must be hired out to work for their
board or drop out of school.
In one family two girls have been TO
school several years without receiving an
absent or tardy mark. one passed the
examinations for entrance to the hlgh
school last June. The town could not
afford to pay her transportation to ana
from the village high school, If the
school opened at ALL although the lam
lily pays large taxes.
I would recommend broader minds for
our town officials, or a trolley track ana
car from Brattleboro to a suitable point
where it could be reached by the trav-
ing public / am sure it would pay, for
a few trips each day. in more ways than
one MRS. w. II. LOOMS.
