CURRENT COMMENT
School Trips to Washington.

1t has been popular for graduating
Glasses of the high schools in some of
/ the New England cities to make a trip
| to Washington in a body during the
spring vacation. The value of a trip
to Washington is acknowledged. The
great drawback lies in the dangers and
temptations that surround the young
people who make up the parties. The
opportunities offered on a trip of the
KIND for yielding to the holiday spirit
to degree to be troublesome and harm.
full have made it question whether
the best interests OF the young people
ara promoted by visit TO Washington
in just that way. The difficulties ex-
perieneed by the teachers who under
take the heavy responsibilities of look
ing after the welfare OF the sight seers
are calculated to discourage almost any
volunteer who is usually willing to give
his services in the interest of young peo-
pie. 1t appears that they have dis
couraged some, and certain graduating
classes are finding more or less difficulty
in securing chaperons for their parties
among the teachers who have travelled
the journey under like circumstances be-
fore. Whether school children should
be allowed to 80 on such long jour
nev in large body under the care Of
those who temporarily assume guardian
ship, and whether people are willing
to accept that guardianship are matters
for the parents of children and for the
volunteer guardians to decide for them
selves. That such expeditions should
be organized under the auspices Of the
schools and should go out as school
organizations is another question. 1t
is certain that great risks attend such
enterprises, and it seems as if better
results would attend a journey to the
nations capital under other conditions.

EAST BARRE'S LATEST MISFOR.
TUNE.


The misfortune which came to East
Barre Saturday night in the destruction
by fire of its leading industry comes as
one of series of untoward events for
that village as far as the granite bust
ness is concerned; and the village will
have the hearty sympathy of all who
are acquainted with the situation. The
blow is doubly hard, because under ord-
nary conditions it could scarcely have
happened. The village is well equipped
to fight fire so far as water pressure is
concerned, in fact, as well equipped as
any village of its size could expect to
be, a remark which we only recently
had occasion to make But good water
pressure, sufficiency of hose and plenty
of fire fighters avail nothing under the
handicap of frozen MIGRANTS, such as
prevailed Saturday night and caused so
much delay in getting stream of water
on the flames that the largest granite
plant in the village was a sure total loss
ere the actual work of fire fighting be-
gan. Systematic inspection of hydrants
during the winter is the only preventive
of such conditions; and even frequent
examinations sometimes might fail to
avert the unfortunate result. But at
any rate, frequent inspections might
serve to remedy some faults; and the
experience of East Barre should serve
as a reasonable warning to many other
communities in this region of extreme
cold weather.

ATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 2s. 1912
A MOVEMENT IN SILVER

Silver is now selling at the highest
price reported since 1907, the recent adj
yances having been due in part TO spec
ulative activity, and in part to an actual
demand for the metal from India, and
to the probable increase in the demand
for China. The speculative activity
has been based largely on the belief that
the Indian Government would soon be
obliged to buy largely for coinage pur'
poses, the re serve of silver rupees hav-
ing been drawn down to q point which
seemed low in view of the probable de-
mapd for money to pay for the good
crops of.the present year.
This anticipation has proved to be
correct, but the result has not been al.
together pleasing to the powerful group
OF EASTER spectators which has been
carrying heavy stocks of silver In
London and in India for some time.
It now appears that the Indian Govern
ment, with unusual shrewdness, had
been anticipating it's needs and had been
buying silver on the open market for
some time. There,were some suspicious
as to it's action. but the fact was not
fully known or accepted until a week
ago. when the to Bombay and
Calcutta carried out shipments amount
ing to e76O, OO0-about 6,050, 900 ounces
Government account. L. is under
stood in London also that further large
shipments will be made soon. This
movement has caused some surprise. but
it has entirely frustrated an attempt by
the Indian specu lators to corner the
market and force the Government TO
pay q high price for the silver it
needed.
There need be no surprise at the ac-
tion of the India Council. since the sup
plies of silver on the market have been
sufficient for all needs. 1t is evident
that the Government had no difficulty
in buying all it needed without outside
assistance. The only surprising point

quietly, and that there was no leakage
of info rmation. for which the Indian
syndicate was so anxious.
What is to become of the heavy stocks
carried by the syndicate is rather an in'
teresting problem. The supply Of the
metal is larger than any speculative
gronp can gather in, as has been shown
by the result, and it is likely TO be in-
creased by the fact that Chinese banks
are just now inclined to be sellers,
rather than buyers. 1t looks very much
as il the syndicate would suffer, now
chat it has missed the point for which
il has waited 80 misunderstanding and
