Our Disqualification is an in
vestment; ignorance is a tax"

[From the Russell Democrat
Herein lies the importance of educa
ton. We should educate rather thar
instruct, because it is far more impor
tant to cultivate the mind than to store
the memory, and instruction is only g
part of education. Studies are q means
and not an end
Children are by nature eager for in
formation. They are always putting
questions, and this ought to be encour
aged. Their instincts may be trusted
to a great extent. and in that case they
will do much to educate themselves.

The thousand dollar silver trophy cup
now becomes for year the property of
the champion typist, but the typewriter
company upon whose machine the record
was established becomes its custodian.
For the past seven years consecutively
the Underwood Typewriter company has
been the possessor of the cup.
There have been but four worlds
champion typists, Miss Owen being the
fourth. The original champion typist
was Rose L. Fritz, who made record of
50 words minute. The next was II. o.
Blaisdell at 100 words a minute, and the
third, Florence Il. Wilson at III words

represents constant development of

ago was never dreamed of in typewriter
operations.

THE STATE TEACHERS
CONFERENCE.

For the Vermont State Teachers as.
ISOLATION convention, which will be held
at Montpelier during the latter part OF
the week, beginning Thursday after
noon, an attractive program has been
arranged by the committee in charge
and it is to be hoped that great army
of teachers from all parts of the state
viii take advantage of the opportunities
offered for broadening their views on
matters peculiarly interesting to them.
There are said to be about 5000 school
teachers in Vermont and less than half
of them each year attend the annual
conference-it really is conference
for their own benefit. which is a condi-
tion of affairs greatly to be regretted.
At least 1000 should attend each year.
Moreover, there ought to be more gen
eral attendance on the part OF the
teachers in the smaller towns of the
state. At the present time the bulk
of the attendance comes from the cities
and larger towns, where the teachers in
their daily routine are brought into con-
tact with progressive ideas in education
more closely than are the teachers in
the district schools and the graded
schools in the smaller towns. Therefore,
it is, or should be, the chief work OF
the state teachers convention to reach
these teachers in the districts farther
back so that they may receive the bene.
fits from which they are, in part, barred
during the most of their year of service.
At the same time, the teachers in the
cities and larger towns will receive a
great deal of benefit from attendance at
the conference, as they will be permit
ted to hear persons who have had much
experience in the various lines which
they have been called upon to discuss.
There ought not TO be a single absentee
among the teaching forces of Barre and
Montpelier.

The latest shooting of an Adirondack
guide is declared accidental; that is
the tenderfoot hunter from the city
loaded his gun, the gun happened to be
pointed at the guide, the gun went off
and the guide did not get out of the
way quick enough. OF course, the shoot
ing of the guide was unintentional, but
some day it will be held to be some
thing more than an accident" when a
gun, loaded, and perhaps cooked, is
pointed in the direction OF human be-
ing. II is not an accident when gun
is held SO that it points toward per-
son; moreover, it is evidence of unfit
ness to carry such deadly weapon.

More ships from Europe for Boston
mean more population for the Hub and
greater scattering OF the incoming
hordes of immigrants. In one way the
prospective shifting of some of the
transatlantic business from New York
to Boston will be good thing for the
country in that it will stop the dump
ing of immigrants in and about New
York City. Statistics show that large
percentage of immigrants stay in the
city and state, where they first land !,
and the population of New York proves
it. Therefore, it win be we'll to shift
the movement now and then by chang
ing ports for immigrant-carrying ves-
sells.

Sidewalk Improvement Ordered.

Routine affairs occupied but small
fraction of the time. Herman L. Camp
bell appeared in behalf of the Granite
Savings bank and @. H. Campbell and
asked for sidewalk improvements in
front of the Campbell block. Mr. Camp.
bell described at length the danger at
tending travel over that particular
stretch. AT cost of 500 it could be
improved, an expenditure which the
street committee had frowned upon in
the face OF the financial condition. AL
derman Dawson moved that the inn
provements be made Chairman Patter-
son of the street committee asked for
an oral vote with the result that the
motion was unanimously carried.
A resolution relating to departmental
appropriations was passed to its second
reading with the following items speci-
fed: Street sprinkling, 500; permanent
streets, $3.50; sidewalks, $3.50; public
buildings, $3.50; health 800.
Reporting on the proposal to create
a new auto ordinance, the legislative
committee voiced the recommendations
OF the city attorney against such a
course and urged that in its place the
CITY pursue pOilcy Oh placing signs
near sehoolhouses and elsewhere in the
city warning autoists to go easy. 1t
was accepted and the recommendations
ordered carried out. The street commit
tee reported against making provisions
for draining water proceeding down Elm
street hill, preferring to let the water
take its natural course. which, as the
report stated, was quite satisfactory.
The report was accepted. In brief
report, the fire committee recommended
that M. $. David be given permission
to erect an annex to his building on
Granite street. The report was accept

Frank A. Walker spoke on the pur

he said: "This petition may or may not

Mr.. Jackson said the church had no

said the eity's stand was not clearly un-

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch OF circumstance

Under the bludeeonings of Chance
My head Is bloody, but unbowed
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade
And vet the menace OF the years
Finds, and shall find me unatra.d,
1t matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the
scroll,
/ am the Master of my Fate,
am the CAPTAIN of my Soul

mer sweet,
Though 10 itself it only live and die

There is love that stirs the heart
And love that gives It rest;
But the love that lifts life upward
