GOOD HOTELS As AN ASSET.

Burlington is discovering for itself the
value and importance of good hotels as
part of a communtys assets outside Of
places which are summer resorts and
nothing else. there is probably not an
other city in the United states of the
size Of Burlington possessing three hos
telries as large and up to date our
own.
Where attractive hotels abound there
will people go, and where people go there
IS the place for hotels Burlington long
discussed this hotel problem and as
result of prolonged agitation our en-
larged hotel accommoda tions came with
rush splendid trade has already been
established although it requires more
than one season for the travelling public
TO become thoroughly alive to improved
facilities of this kind, with the whole
country bidding for patronage.
In the meantime Burlington is not in
clined to want to monopolize the tourist
business of Vermont. We are glad to see
such cities as st. Johnsbury pushing sue
cessful projects for adequate hotel facin-
ties, and It Is to be hoped that other places
IN Vermont may do likewise Indeed it
would be a great thing FOR the Green
Mountain State if twenty big summer
hotels could be iudiciously distributed
about the State In spots where summer
visitors would be most likely to sojourn
during the heated term.
Vermont is far ahead Of the White
Mountain region in attractions for tour
asts in point of beauty of scenery In all
directions as well in the immediate
vicinity of mountain heights, and sooner
or later our transportation lines and
hotel capitalists and the travelling public
will make the combination necessary to
demonstrate our superiority In this re-
spect. In the meantime must work
and hope that the Green Mountain State
may speedily come into its own as re-
CARDS splendid hotel accommodations in
oil directions.

VACATION SCHOOLS.

The thumb worn books are on the shelves,
And free DER vale and hill

To many a shining pool
Where bird-notes wild ring out tho call
To Mother Natures school

Its clock no longer ticks
Its windows stare ON emptiness

The big school-house Is lonesome
It's roof in silence rears

But outdoors are many lessons
For boys and girls to read
And in Dame Natures school the sky
Is the only roof they need,

In summer without rival
But in her ranks this year We find

For none are given to her charge
Not one can join her CLASSES

FATALITIES OF THE FOURTH

Noise once counted largely for patriot
ism, especially on the Fourth OF July.
To-day we try to commemorate the
Declaration Of American Independence in
q saner and safer way than formerly
hut we do not always succeed in either
direction Occasionally we go to the
other extreme and do not celebrate the
day AZ sill as a city, as was the case in
Burlington this year.
While this movement for a higher ap-
probation OF the true significance of
patriotism is making gratifying progress
in Vermont as elsewhere nobody knows
better than the newspaper man that the
old spirit which marl,"u Fourth Of July
celebrations sti7l end
This is demonstra' o. nowhere more
forecfully than In connection with the
preparations made by the Chicago Tri-
hume for its annual returns of Fourth of
July fatalities in all parts of the country,
and It may interest the great public to
catch glimpse oC how these things are
handled
Three blanks are Cd, ont to correspon-
DENTS la all parts Of the country to-
gether with instructions how to use the

be printed on July & and 8. The blanks

Dr George Kerschcnstclncr, well
known educator of Germany, declares that
the average man in America Is much
more Interested in the affairs of the pub
lie school than the average man in his
own country Moreover his observations
in the Unites States have led him to con-
clude that our daily press as regards re-
ports and discussions of educational sub
jects gives ten times the space devoted
to these subjects by the German news
papers.
DR. Kerschcnst"ucr shows how Ger.
many secures educational efficiency by
Capitalization of authority within the in
dtvidual States. He admits that possibly
Capitalization has gone even further than
is desirable in Germany, but he is equally
positive that there is not enough central-
2ation within the Individual States of this
country. As a result Of the lack OF state
the United States the sharpest contrasts
between school systems that are in
credibly poor and others of the highest
possible type. that would do credit to the
finest civilized nations of the globe"
Or. Kerschenstciner finds that American
citizens of community have more direc,
control over their schools than in Ger
many, and commends this condition lie

tries-their training, their salaries, their

July 4, nifty years ago, not a loaf
of bread could be bought i'm Burlington
Such had been the crowds In the city for
the celebration Of that Fourth of July on
which the news Of Gettysburg was re-
ceivcd that all the hotels, BOARDING
houses. grocery stores, bakeries and even
many private homes were eaten destitute
Of provisions carly in the preceding after
noon. Many went away from town hum
cry that night, driven to their homes be-
cause they couldn't get anything to eat
here.
Tho city was not nearly 50 large as at
present, and tho crowd of nearly 6om
persons was beyond expectations and
proved So great that it utterly crippled
the capacity Of the town to feed it. These
came on trains and STEAMBOATS,, in single
and double tea ms. on horseback even on
foot They came alone in pairs, and by
families, including baby in his cradle.
The Rutland & Burlington. Vermont Gem
tral and Vermont & Canada railroads and
the lake boats carried the crowds for fare
one way
The weather was cloudy. but more bear.
able than a hot, dusty day. Heavy cam
uonading reused the town early in the
morning and made sleep impossible. BY
noon the streets were full of visitors.
Early I'm the day there was much intoXi-
cation but sheriff H. H. Flanagan closed
the ruuholcs and liquor soon became
scarce There was very little disorder,
however, and only one arrest was made.

gre ssive victory in Washington coun-
ty. The organization and friends Of
General Murray Vandiver, who was
the issue in the counties, triumphed
in Baltimore, Caroline, Worcester Il
and Wicomico counties, in addition
to Anne Arundel county.
They also claim the State delega.
tions in both Kent and Quee Anne q
counties. but indications point to q
split delegation in the latter county.
In Cecil county indications are that
the anti-Crothers forces have nomi.

and the State Central Committee.

as much water as Is being used, and
that the reserve supply in the reser-

peraJiye that in all cases caution and
economy shall be observed during the
dry weather. and in order that the wa
ter supply may he conserved as much
MS possible for the more vitally neces-

economy,
