am c~reditably informed that the
United States weather bureau officials
are studying planetary meteorology,
trying to find how the planets affect
our atmosphere and weather. Not
long ago they secuted the idea of
those "specks on the sky" having any
influence on our earth.
But our race is moving forward and
planetary meteorology is becoming
popular. One corporation in the Unit
ed States is paying one planetary
meteorologist $4,000 a year for his
forecasts. That demonstrates that the
people want the forecasts that are
based on the relative positions of the
sun, moon and principal planets. I
have had numerous applications for
my forecasts to be used Off advertis-
ing purposes, but so far have declined
the offers.
am glad to know that the highest
authorities of our country have begun
to look in the right direction for the
causes of our weather changes. It is
encouraging to those who have given
more than a quarter of a century to
that work.
But they will not find it an easy
task. They have started where Tice
started more than forty years ago and
are investigating the equinoxes of the
planets. To start there is quite nat
uraf for the inexperienced. l dug
through that labyrinth of ~entangle-
ments thirty years ago and found some
good things. But, oh! that is a long
ways back and those who are Just
now going over that ground must not
expect to very much benefit those who
are now living.
l am of opinion that no one, know
ing the difficulties to be overcome.
will ever undertake to work out the
great weather problem, although it
promises greater results than any
other Investigation ever undertaken.
But that great question will be solved. !

Nature can not long continue to hold
her secrets. Their hiding place is now
known and our race will soon get the
benefits Of their discovery.
The times have zone by for ridicul-
ing the planetary me~teorologists and
other times are rapidly approaching
when the ridicule will be felt by the
old fogies who have claimed to repre-
sent the orthodox scientists.

IAE CRY SCHOOLS

The original Herbart Society, as
such, ceas2ezo'ean-'-. 1901, and since
that timeTJ6as been known as "The
National Abciety for the Scientific
Study OF Ftucation." In that society
a limited fumber of educators have
membership, and among the number
so honored appear the names of the
following Texans: DR.. Bird T. Bald

versity of Texas, Austin; Superintend-
ent W. c. Lawson, city schools, Bryan.
OF course the interest is In the fact
that the Bryan superintendent is one
OF the few Texans selected for men,

Of men who are renowned for their
lttainments in pedagogy.

Mr.. G. M. Vance enjoys the distinc-
ton of holding the bachelor OF science
degree both from Baylor University

When DIR. s. p. Brooks of Baylor Uni
versity said, IF Mr.. Vance is elected
you can count on him." he said truly.
1T always pays to get teachers who
know something and who know how
to teach It," as a good friend of the
schools said to the superintendent the
other day.

The following are a few of the mat.
tiers which have been interesting the
superintendent for some time and
which he thinks the schools need:
l. Comfortable new seats for the
Eastside school and for Mr.. Bethany's
room on the Westside.
2. School grounds improved and a
lsufficient number of trees put out.
| 3. Music rooms taken out of the
front yard of the Eastside school and
sheds on the grounds torn away.
4. Neat new buildings with emer-
gency room in each to replace the
sheds on grounds.
.. Sanitary drinking fountains for
pupils of the various schools.
6. Special room with teacher for
those who do not fit the regular
grades, just as the best schools now
have it.
Z. Special sets of books needed to
make the work effective in the vari-
GUS rooms of both Eastside and West.
side schools.
8. A plan for the selection of grade
teachers based on scholarship, pro-
fessional training, tested efficiency
and progressiveness.
3. A settled plan Of a somewhat
similar nature with regard to those
already in the schools.
The two most important are the last
two mentioned. They are what the
best school systems are doing every
where now, and would help the work
immensely without an additional cent
of expense.
OF course there are other school
needs, but these are most important
and most vitality concern the work at
present.

STATE ROAD WORK

The selectmen have plans made
for the expenditure of the State high
way tax for the present system. The
first work will be on the Passumpsic
road beginning where work was
stopped last fall, and coming to this
end of the fair ground to meet the
former state work. This will give
a continuous line of state road from
the village to the town line.
Some state work will also be done
on the North End road in the vicin-
ity of the Old Wright Springs. The
remainder of the money will be ex-
pended on the highway between the
Center and Lyndon town line.
