each child glass of rich milk daily
and 10, and behold, the children grew in
height and weight! However, it would
have been poor specimen of child
which didn't grow under the impetus
of bone and flesh making milk, LIT alone
the fresh air help. So the complicated
demonstration did not prove the efficacy
of the open-air style of school, any
more than the benefit of pure and nour-
ishing food. Still, fresh air isn't to be
sneezed at in looking for health.

Amid so much exaggeration and dis.
torted statements concerning the small
pox outbreak in Barre, the sane attitude
of the Groton Times, as illustrated by
a quotation from it in another column
is rather pleasing to note. We are
thankful that there is, now and then
a newspaper writer who is willing to
take the facts at their face value and
not attempt to discolor them by means
of frenzied imagination. Editor Lord Is
to be commended.

All New England applauds Bostons eff
fort to become greater port for trans
Atlantic craft, because New England has
a closer interest in Boston than in New

burg American line that two ships of
that line would be sent to Boston dur
ing the coming summer may mean the
entering wedge of largely increased bust
ness of this sort. We surely hope so.

THE AIRGUN NUISANCE.

1t is reported that the New Hamp-
shire legislature may be asked to enact
legislation regarding the use Of the So
called airgun because, largely the weap-
ons are now made of such high power
that they can be used to slay small
game. That reason, however true it
may be. seems of small consequence
compared with this reason, that the air.
guns are dangerous to human beings in
the manner that they frequently are
usd by youths nowadays. The leaden
pellets are projected with such force
that it is quite possible to ruin the eye
sight, destroy the hearing and do other
injury by chance shots; and when the
airguns get into the hands of the young
sters no one can tell where the bullets
will go. Therefore, it would seem that
the danger to small game is incense
quential as compared with damage to
that larger game-the human being
and it is legislation in behalf of the lat
ter that we need.
