A Pastor AZ Years.

Rev. James H. Robinson, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal church at
Stamford, this spring completes his
42d year as an effective member of
the Troy Conference, having begun his
ministry in Schaghticoke in 1870. In
1886 and 1887 he was pastor of the
church at West Sand Lake, and for
the year 1888 he was stationed at Third
street, Troy. He was appointed to
his present charge at Stamford two
years ago. For the past 26 years he
has been a member of the committee
on claims of the conference, and of
the board of stewards, into which body
the committee was merged few years
ago. For 16 years he has been secre-
tary of the commi ttee and board. The
board of stewards is the body which
administers the funds for the benefit
of the superannuates of the conference
and as a result great deal of work
falls to it, the larger part of which
is done by the secretary. The ques-
ton of conference claimants is very
important one just at this time, be-
cause of the creation of the new con-
nectional board by the last general
conference. This subject will be
widely discussed at the quadrennial
session to be held at Minneapolis in
May of this year. AS there is no one
in the conference more conversant
with the subject of conference claim
ants than Mr.. Robinson, and as he is
well versed in all matters pertaining to
the church at large, there are many
who feel that he would prove most
valuable member of the general con-
ference, and they are therefore talking
of him as one of the delegates to that
body, the election of which takes place
at the session of the annual conference
at Saratoga Springs in April His
election is being urged as proper
recognition of his long and faithful
service as secretary of the board; and,
for what is more important, to add to
the efficiency of the delegation from
Troy Conference to the legislative body
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
which is the largest religious organi-
cation in the United States.
Rev. Mr.. Robinson preached at
Poultney 1885, at Brandon 1867 and
at Vergennes, 1899.

The Summer School as an Edu-
cationaI 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 move
ments the establishment of summer
schools. Long summer vacations were
provided in the past chiefly because
our ancestors We're farmers and the
young people were needed in the sum-
mer to help on the farm. Our long va
cation is largely relic of the days of
our grandfathers. We are now be-
ginning to seek profitable ways of using
that period.
The needs of teachers are somewhat
different from the needs of younger
students. Thay want to get a 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 allowances for growth, and there
fore 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 ma
terial they can in short time and re-
fleet on it afterwards, he selects the
best he has for that class. If he is
fitted to the requirements of summer
school work he will put nearly as
much into a short course as he would
under other circumstances into longer
one.
One Of the greatest teachers in Am
erica has said that scholar should
be able to tell all he knows on a sub.
ject in one book, or in one chapter, OF
in one paragraph if need be. This is
perhaps putting it too strong, but the
ability to condense or expand is one OF
the marks of a 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 afterwards. -

work she delights in. If misfortune
should come, she has fitted herself so
she can keep right on. Surely the hens
help out.
1.-THE person who can produce nice
poultry and fresh eggs will find steady
demand at profitable prices for all
years to come. All that is necessary
will be to get in line for one or more
branches of the poultry business, and
then conduct the combination on the
same business-like plan that has been
successful with others, and the limit of
profit is bounded only by ones time,
strength and ability. Women who need
money, diversion from sorrow or anxi-
Gus care, and boys or girls who idle
away time upon the streets or in ques-
tionable company, will find poultry
raising neverfailing source of COM
forting diversion or innocent pastime,
as well as financial reward for time
and effort given these bright little
creatures.

Chicken raising is nothing but a fad.
Even so, it does one good to have a
hobby to ride if they only get there.

nothing more profitable than the

In the poultry-raising department
of Farm and Fireside a contributor
writes.
THAT boy of yours may be a good
boy as the ordinary run of boys goes.
A boy is not naturally bad, but his
associations and environments often
lead to his downfall. These remarks
are inspired by watching a youngster
whose parents bought for him an old
hen with fifteen chickens. With keen
delight and rebounding energy that boy
is in the chicken business. His brood
is his capital He is to have all he
makes. The small flock of chickens
keeps him off the street. So let the
boys have all the chickens they want.
1T may be the turning point in their
lives, and qualities of thrift may be
cultivated that will be the stepping
stones to a successful business career.

1t is generally agreed that the salaries
of teachers should be higher than they
now are in most places in Vermont. 1t
is also agreed that in order to keep
abreast of the educational progress of
the times the teaching force should i'm
prove. Would it not be a simple BUSH
ness proposition to make the increase in
salary conditioned upon the improve
ment of the teacher? In other states a
plan has been tried with great success.
The school officers say to the teacher,
prepare yourself better and we will
pay you more" The teacher who can
take year off and attend college or
normal school may return to her posi-
ton and receive better pay. Few
teachers can afford to do this. The
next best thing is to use the vacation.
A teacher who spends six weeks in
school is worth more to the community.
She is usually glad to improve herself
if she can afford it. If the district can
raise her salary, would it not be advan-
tageous to offer her one or two dollars
a week more if she will spend six weeks
in a summer school for teachers? The
community thus gets immediate returns
for the outlay, and the teacher gets a
recompense for the time and money she
spends.

If one or more of your letters are
lost or delayed in the mails, don't blame
the letter carrier or the postal clerk
before finding out whether it was his
fault, but just reflect that the average
number of pieces of mail matter handled
per employe in 1909 the latest year for
which statistics are available was
81, 239. That was more than 1000 pieces
week that went through the hands of
each carries or clerk.
Ever since 1890 the work of postal
employees has been steadily growing
more arduous. In that year the aver
age numbar of pieces handled was
24,611. a little more than half the
amount of work required at present.
Figures given to the House committee
on postoffices and postroads show that
Uncle Sam knows how to speed up his
employees and get out of them all the
work possible. oif one of your letters
goes astray just reflect that the imam
higher up" and not the postman him
self, may really be responsible.
In Germany, where the last word is
supposed to have been spoken on the
new gospel of efficiency, the govern
ment also has been speeding up its pos
tai employees, although by no means to
such extremes as in this country
Twenty years ago each German postal
employee handled on an average II, 287
pieces of mail matter annually; in 1908
the number had increased to 25,9O1
Which shows that the United States
postal employee at least earns his
salary. Boston Globe.
