SEEING AND KNOWING VERMONT
FIRST.

"See Vermont first" apparently is the
motto OF the graduating class of the
high school at Woodstock, because the
members are going to take an automo-
bile tour through Vermont instead of
going to Washington, d. c., intending to
visit the chief centers and inspect the
leading industries and view the most
important attractions of the state. Thus,
having better idea of their own state,
they will be prepared to place truer
estimate on other sections than they
would if they first neglected what Yer
mont has. Probably a very small per-
centage of the boys and girls, the young
men and women of Vermont have II
comprehensive understanding of their
own state; and that there are older and
lifelong residents of Vermont who are
equally ignorant of conditions within
q comparatively few miles Of them is
Indicated by the fact that vermonter
and a state official was tremendously
surprised the other day by the magni-
tude of the granite industry in Barre.

official. ethat there was such a huge
business in Vermont as this Barre gran

And. Of course, the Barre granite in
dustry is only one Of many large and
interesting operations in Vermont,
study of which might appeal to young
men and young women. Then, there are

lions Of the country right in Vermont

it offers good proof that Iowa is keenly

other states that they must not lag in
their efforts to keep the farmer posted

TAXING HOME THE LESSON.

in the United States, which complaints
were the cause for the statement that
most of them. including those in Yer
mont cities and large towns, were built

tus, combustible construction and doors

thing definite on which directors Of
schools in every city and town can work;
they know what the esteemed contem-
porary is driving at; they are now in
position to determine for themselves
whether the complaints were warranted
In their cases.
The Saturday Evening Post seems to
have accepted the engineering papers
assertion with absolute credulity and it
voices its sentiment in the following bit
OF sarcasm:
Not that anybody cares particularly.
To be sure there is school fire some
where every schoolday in the year; but
almost always the children scramble out
with no greater injury than fright and
a few bruises. The money loss from
school fires last year was three million
dollars, which is trivial matter for so
rich a country. Occasionally terrible
tragedy happens--for we are unable to
think Of any tragedy more terrible in its
social aspects than the burning up of
children in publicly owned and public
Nv built fretrap. However, the tragedy
happens only once in a while and we
are comparatively rich in children az
we'll as in money. Obviously the easiest
way is to take The chances.
Like all normal persons we are hopeful
of many lofty and farreaching schemes
of social reform; but, in view of So
cety's general inability to shut the front
door without pinching its fingers in the
crack, we have moments of doubt.
Not all people will be as prompt to
accept the truth OF the charge as TIE
Saturday Evening Post has done, al
though they are willing to agree on the
proposition that the authorities ought
to safeguard the lives of the nearly
twenty millions of school children who
are placed in the public schools of the
country for two-thirds or three-quarters
OF each year. 1t is doubtless true that
many cities and towns have carelessly |
buildings, and it is hoped |
that each community may take home
the responsibility as brought out by the
two contemporaries. In shaking the
people into carefulness Insurance En-

winding rivers and meandering brooks,
rich and broad meadows stretching out
in all the velvety softness of the early
summer verdure; in fact, a composite of
attractions which might appeal to any
but the dullest mind
Therefore, to know Vermont by per-
sonal observation is a worthy purpose,
and the seniors of Woodstock high school
have chosen a wise course in deciding
to "see Vermont first" and the rest aft
erwards.
