TUESDAY. NOVEMBER IL. 1913.

In the New York Sun of Sunday
most Of a page was devoted to Mic
dlebury college and the recent ap-
peal of President John NJ. Thorn
as for volunteers in the work Of
revitali2ing Vermont 1t will be re
membered that at the opening Of the
present college year President Thorn
as : address referred to the Importance
of the work for social bettorment il
the remote sections Of this state Grat-
yates were urged 10 establish social
settlements in the backward districts
and To work for the uplift Of these
communities. The Rutland News. in
noting the publication in the Sun, con
tends rs it has repeatedly, that it is
Of first Importance that missionary
work, sociological and educational ei-
fort, be done in our own state before
attention is turned to the antipodes.
Missionary work, like charity. should
begin at home.

The remarks of the Bennington Ban
ner on the attitude of the state board
of education toward courses in agricul-
ture and domestic science in the public
schools is worthy of careful perusal
The great majority of young people re-
ceive no educational training beyond
the high schools. The criticism has
often been made that too much atten-
ton is paid in our public schools to
preparing a small number Of students
for entrance into the colleges, instead
OF giving main attention to the larger
percentage who 20 directly to work on
leaving the so-called secondary schools.
The state board Of education has some
thing to explain if the argument of the
Bennington Banner is well founded.

Governor Felker $ signing the Thaw
extradition papers IS only the begin
ming again. 1t is a mere incident. Here
is the way the Boston Herald chases it
along: 1.-The case now goes 10 the
United States district court. Then we
have the supreme court And there is
habeas corpus, habeamus mandamus, n
certiorari exceptions, exceptions to ex-
ceptions overruled and amendment of
the constitution of the United States.
Everything is possible as long as the
golden stream continues TO flow.

Wide Tires.
darlington Ncws.)

y governor OF Vermont in his annual
message advocated the enactment OF Il
law making the use Of wide tires com
pulsory, but he was in advance of his
time. and the only result Of his recon-
mendation was wonderment, not unmiN-
ed with laughter. We note that today
a Maine newspaper Is urging the adop-
tion Of wide tires on AL heavy vehicles.
i argues that it is easier to haul a load
on broad tires than on narrow ones. The
broad tires, too. help make good roads
while the narrow tires cut into and
spoil the roads. Some expense might
be involved in making the initial
change but in the long run that would
be made up many times in the greater
efficiency Of the vehicles on the better
roads. The reform the newspaper adds
needs but a bit of municipal legislation
which could be adopted now better thar

The profits to the government of
tie parcel post system during its
first year of operation, the calendar
year 1913, are estimated at $30,0O0,o0

amount, but the people have taken adj
vantage of the new method of trans
poItation to an extent beNond all

to prepare pupils for real life, some of
the progressive towns have been adding
Il course IN agriculture or Il course in
domestic science. Some have intro

by patriotic friends of the public
schools the legislature last fall provided
that school, which established
course in domestic science and employ

year should be aided by the state to
the extent Of 500 per year. In order
that Il good standard might be Sc
cured the new law provided that the
course must be approved by the state
board Of education.

have proceeded in good faith Ben

The Increase i'll Freight Rates.
Eennineton Banner.l

The railroad companies doing bust
ness in Vermont have fled with The
puhIic service commission Of The state
a new schedule OF eight rates on
business in this state These roads
have recently increased freight
tariffs on interstate business and this
increase on Vermont business is made
in uniformity with the interstate rates.
The increase is probably justified if
not too large. Increase in wages. in
crease in cost of materials and increase
ia taxes are a growing drain on the
abroad purse and. except 4 part Of
the Boston x Maine system and a few
small exceptions. the Vermont railroads
are not ma king mach money.

ward Reynolds as the priest Of the st.
Charles Roman Catholic church in Bel
lows Falls, is a cause for regret not
only in his parish but III the commu
nifty in which he has been a stanch and
loyal citizen, working for uplift Of
people all around him. The entire
priestly career Of Father Reynolds, COY
cring period of over % years, has
been identified with the interests Of
Bellows Falls. The influence OF a man
Of the character and calibre OF Rev.
Father Reynolds is impossible of
measurement.

SMILE:

Like bread without spreadin'
Like a puddin' without sauce,
Like mattress without beddin'
Like a cart without a boss.
Like a door without a latchstring
Like a fence without stile,
Like a dry and barren creek bed,
Is face without a smile.
Like a house without a dooryard
Like a yard without a flower,
Ikea clock without main
spring,
That will never tell the hour;
A thing that sort o. makes yo feel
A hunger all the while
Oh the saddest sight that everwas
Is face without a smile!
The face of man was built fer
smiles,
An hereby is he blest
Above the critters of the field,
The birds and all the rest;
He jest a little lower
Than the angles in the skies,
An the reason is that he can
smile:
Therein his glory lies!
So smile and don't fegit to smile,
An smile an smile agin;
Twill loosen up the cords lo'care
An ease the weight O. sin.
Twill help yo' on the longest
road,
An cheer you mile by mile;
An so whatever is yer lot,
Jes' smile an smile an smile!

National Magazine.
