Mason S. Stone

It has quite become the fashion for
certain papers to asperse the motives
Of Stunt. Mason S. Stone in his tours
about the state, claiming that they
are for revenue only" or in other
words TO advance his personal inter
ests. Some people possess such dull
mental vision that upon every wood
pile they see perched a gentleman OF
color. 1t is impossible for them to
ascribe to any man a motive higher
than personal ambition. Is there not
wise saying "As man thinkest, so
is he?"
The motives that are behind this
attack upon Mr. Stone are two--de-
sire to get his place by another, and
revenge for his attitude on the nor
NAL school question. Regarding
these two points, we will say, that
every person has a right to aspire to
the Office of state superintendent OF
education, but in our view the can
didacy of any person really fit for 1t
should be on a higher plane than is
furnished by inuendo or malice.
Mr.. Stone has been about the state
conducting a movement which he
terms "A New Vermont" It is an
educational movement, the chief
point being to extend the district SUI
pervisor plan. 1t is not designed TO
teach the people how TO extract the
cube root, find the greatest common
divisor, or analyze complex senten-
ces. He takes with him, not teach
ers who would talk shop" but men
with statewide knowledge who are
we'll known throughout the state II
is his plan to educate the people to
the idea OF the adoption OF the I'm
ion supervision system, and his sue
cess is attested by the establishment
Of fifty or more districts, where the
teachers have the benefit that must
come from skilled supervisory work.
During Mr.. Stones incumbency
three great. educational reforms have
been carried through successfully.
One is the union system spoken Of
above; the second is the teachers
training class measure which will az
ford trained teachers in a short time
to all the rural schools; and the third
is the establishment Of state agri-
cultural school at Randolph. These
are enough to signalize any admins
tration.
II has been shouted from the house
tops that Mr.. Stone is not an "edu.
Gator" Thank God he is not in the
sense that term is ordinarily used
He is far better than that He is an
administrator. He has been and
still is n pioneer He has blazel the
way amid old prejudices and wornou,

Being a Chocolate soldier may have
its disadvantages but 1t is not half

has a few narrow escapes, but as g
"divil among the women" he is the
equal OF any travelling man away from
home and consequently has a lot Of fun
The music of The Chocolate Soldier"
had reached FL PasOans a long time
before the show got out here into "the
provinces" as they say in New York
where New Workers think everything
centers, so the tunes were almost all
familiar and as they are real tuney
tunes, Fl PasOans enjoyed them i'm
nensely. Thus there is some advan-
tage IN not always getting perform
ance the very first year 1t is OUT the
people knew what to expect and it was
almost like the visit OF an old friend
although IL was the first time his mill
itaryship had visited the Pass City.
1t was a packed house that greeted
The Chocolate Soldier and the ap-
plause showed that everybody was
pleased. The performance was pre-
sented by an extremely capable com
pany. The chorus. both men and Wom-
en-, were selected for their voices rather
than looks, and the singing is ex-
tremely tuneful even if the faces OF
some of the performers do bear testi-
mOny to the fact that they have passed
the stage Of early youth.
The scenes Of the three acts are laid
in Bulgaria and all the participants are
supposed to be Bulgarians save the
Chocolate soldier" himself. who IS a
Swiss, doing duty in the Servian army.
with which the Bulgars are at war.
He gets his name from the fact that he
carries chocolate drops in his cartridge
box and prefers exchanging pretty
words with the female sex rather than
exchanging bullets with the Bulgars.
He escapes from captivity and takes
refuge in the bOudOuir Of a young Wom-
an, and Immediately receives the atten-
lions of herself. her mother and her
cousin, who are alone at home while
the male members of the household are
of a Bulgarian soldier in which to es-
cape, but returns to the house after the
war is over and meets the
men Of the house, whom he has also
previously known as enemies while in
the war. There is very complicated
situation. but "the Chocolate soldier"
wins the girl. after showing that he
really has metal enough to fight duel
although in accepting he is safe in the
knowledge that the challenger will not
fight.
Chas Purcell is "the Chocolate SOL
der" and has a splendid voice and a
knack Of making his audience laugh
that is extremely contagious. Miss
Rena Vivienne as Nadina, the girl"
has a sweet voice. and as the perform
ance develops, she wins her way rapidly
into the hearts Of her audience.
Sylvan LanglOis. a major in the Bull
garian army, is a splendid opera bOuffe
officer and helps largely with the fun
guard as long as tie home is not in
danger from the enemy. Other MEM
bers of the company are well cast and
all have good voices.
