Century-OId Jokes

There are few new jokes or stOr-
/ les. Here are two, taken from pub
4 locations more than 100 years old,
which have been doing service, va
/ riously retoId, ever since-and prob
| ably for a century or more earlier.
The first is taken, verbatim, from
the North Star, published at Dan
Vile, VT, May /, 1913:
when John Paul Jones was
| fighting a ship of superior force last
war, one of his sailors (whO hap
pened to be a Scotchman)s dropt
down as dead, in consequence of a
wound which he received; in this
state he continued till the action
was over.
After which Sawney was carried
below by an Irishman, and the sur
geon declared him lifeless.
league was ordered to throw
him into the sea; but upon coming
on deck, Sawney got speech enough
to tell his carrier not to throw him
overheard as he was not quite dead
yet.
Oh your eyes, replied the
Irishman, don't the doctor know
better than your with which ex-
clamation Sawney was thrown into
the sea, where he would nave met
with watery grave had no timely
assistance been afforded him"
Notice the reformed spelling of
dropt
The second standard joke is
from the Boston Weekly Magazine
of April 10, 1905. It reappears with
brief intervals of rest, and with only
slight alterations:
"a happy lover, residing in vii
alge in Norfolk, having obtained the
consent of his fair one, set off to
obtain a matrimonial license, and
being unacquainted with the place
he was directed by those of whom
he inquired where a license was to
be procured, to the Clerk of the
Peace's Deputy, and he returned
home.
The bride and bridegroom then
assembled their companions, the
clergyman had arrived, and the
happy man presented him with
license, which, 10! proved to be from
w. Stokes, Esq, Clerk of Peace to
kill game

Vermont school Conditions

The Windsor county committee OF
the Y M. G. A. has just published a
booklet regarding school conditions
in that county that shows how ac-
lively and sensibIy that organization
is working for the improvement of
conditions in rural Vermont and also
gives information that should be
generally known throughout the
state. The conditions in that cOun-
ty probably can be found in every
county in the state and some of the
defects are so easily remedied they
should be given immediate atten-
ton. A total of ninety-seven schools
located in twenty different towns
were examined and here are some Of
the things found. Only three new
and modern school buildings, thirty
six fair buildings and twelve in very
poor condition, very few OF the
buildings properly lighted or heated
In fourteen schools common toilets
for boys and girls were found and
toilet rooms in general in bad filthy
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1913-10-15

condition and several with doors re-
moved. One school room had no
toilet accommodations at all and we
should Judge from the conditions
described was better off than some
other schools at that. Many of the
School grounds were untidy and in
less than half of the schools was
ample playground space provided
Quite a large proportion oRthe teach
ers showed lack of interest in their work
little knowledge of the value of play
and were not sufficiently interested in
the recreation of the children to
properly supervise their play on the
school grounds. The full details of the
findings are of much interest but
cannot be given here.
The criminal Indifference of the
parents and school authorities re-
garding the providing and properly
caring for the toilet rooms of the
children shows a laxity that should
be Immediately corrected. 1t is
responsible 10 much larger degree
than people realize for the low mind
edness and immortality of the rural
sections of the state. To remedy
these disgracefuI conditions is not
beyond the financial ability of any
school, no matter how poor the com
munity in which it is located The
failure to keep them clean and
healthy should be made a criminal
offence with a penalty that would
reach even those higher up" 1t
is a matter that should not wait for
the law but be given attention as a
matter of common decency. Until it
is done we cannot hope to properly
the children in the rural
schools of the state.
