UTAH's UNDERGROUND WATERS.
Possible Increase in Farming Area
Shown by Geological Survey.

| With the settlement of the region
around Great Salt lake came the adop-
ton of irrigation. The water of the
mountain streams and springs was led
upon the parehed but rich soil and the
desert became dotted with productive
GASES, supporting an agricultural commu-
nifty proportionate in size to the stream
or spring by which it was sustained. In
many of these communities expansions
practically ceased when all the normal
stream flow had been appropriated, but
in recent years the limits of the desert
are being persistently crowded back, and
more and more of the waste land is being
reclaimed. This agricultural expansion
is being accomplished by the construction
of reservoirs to conserve the flood
waters that formerly ran to waste, by
the Improvement of irrigation methods
whereby the same amount OF water is
made to irrigate more land than for
merly, by the application OF dry farm
ing methods to large tracts that lie
near the mountains and are favored with
more rainfall than most of the deserts,
and to small extent by the develop
nent of underground waters by means
of artesian wells or pumping plants.
In order TO determine to what fur
Their extent it may be possible to de-
yelop the underground water resources

SPORTING NOTES.

Wisconsin will be notieeably weakened
in football next season. BY graduation
next spring they will lose nine .mem-
bers.
Out in Hamilton, n. Y, football en-
thusiasts are pulling for Walter Camp
to put Capt Peterson on his All Ameri-
can team. They say that not since the
days of Larry Bankart of Dartmouth
when he played against Harvard with
his arm in a sling has there been such
a demonstration of grit as was shown
by Peterson recently. Unknown to any
one, Capt. Peterson played through the
whole Syracuse game with the ligaments
of his ankle so badly torn that he could
hardly stand on his feet. They also
claim Hunting, quarter, and Brooks,
tackle, for the All-American team.
Last season Union college won the
intercollegiate basketball championship
of New York state and laid claim to
the national intercollegiate champion
ship. There is a strong nucleus of last
seasons players left to build up strong
1914 team and hopes are pitched high
to repeat their triumphs of last sea-
son.
Philip NJ Payson of Portland, Me-,
has been elected captain of the 1914
Williams college football team. Cy Tool
an, the star halfback of the past few
seasons, was the logical choice for the
election, as he is in his junior year.
Payson was but a sophomore. fraternity
politics cropped out of the election and
Payson was victorious.
HOBBY Baker and Phillips of the
Princeton team can claim a distinction
They have played football at Prince
ton four years and have never been de-
feated by Yale. During the freshman
year they won and during their three
years of varsity work have never been
defeated by Yale. Other players may
claim the distinction of having defeated
Yale, but can't say that during their
four years at Princeton they have tax
en- part with teams that have never
been trimmed by the Eli.
Brattleboro high school has laid claim
to the football championship of south
ern Vermont, and its title is undisputed.
For the past few years Brattleboro has
been very prominent in football circles
and has won this title many times.
Prospects are especially bright for a
winning basketball team at Montpelier
high school this winter. From last years
championship quintet there remain three
players, Laird, Bartlett and Hayden.
Smith and F. Laird have been lost. The
Capitol city will enter the race for
championship honors.

MENTALLY UNUSUAL" CHILDREN.
II Out of Every 100 Entering Public
Schools Need Special Glasses.

IL Oul VI Every lVO EulSiiuB uoii'
Schools Need Special Glasses.
That IL out of every 100 pupils al
the threshold OF the public schools are
mentally unusual" and need special
treatment, if possible apart from other
children, is the conclusion reached by
DIR. Arnold Gesell, of Yale university,
in a publication just issued by the
United States bureau of education.
"Take an ordinary kindergarten and
first grade, with a combined enrolment
of 100 pupils" says DIR. Gesell. among
this number we may expect to find at
least one child feeble minded; one child
who shutters; two or three who serious
ly lisp; another extremely anemic; a
badly spoilt child; another babyish-a
year or two retarded in mental or NOR
al growth; and still another morally
weak. There will be one negative child
passive, colorless; one sensitive,
nervous child; one specifically preco-
cious child; another distinctly superior
eager, ardent. imaginative, sociable.
The Special Class.
"For some of these children there is
no better disposition than prompt as
signment to special class, the special
class method having been put into sue
cessful operation for 10 different types
of children. But even the special classes
particularly the so-called ungraded
classes for backward children that have
been blished in our large cities--are
greatly in need of inventory.
"The diversity OF the ungraded class
membership is often -Pathetically pic
turesdue. Here is the roll call for one
such class in large eastern city: Tween
ty-four boys, Is girls; nationalities,
Norwegian, French, Irish, Armenian,
Italian, Austrian, American, Chinese;
names range from James Moriarty and
Ong Yung to Arcangelo Christiailo and
Nishan Kalehadoarian; ages range from
6 to is; mentality, from giggling inn
becility to ambitious intelligence; NOR
atty, from truancy, cigarette smoking
and thieving to good behavior; parent
age, noted in special cases, includes a
drunken mother, an insane father, and
in three instances, gypsies; physical con-
dition. from partial blindness and deaf
ness, and spinal trouble and anemia, to
vigorous physical health. Think of the
problem before this teacher, who may
not even have working definition OF
in her consciousness to
aid her in classification and instruc
toni"
Classification Everywhere.
In the opinion of DR.. Gesell, the time
is coming when all our large municipal
school systems, and perhaps country
educational systems as well, will have
the equivalent of department of child
and special classes. "Child
classification is the basis of child hy-
giene," he declares, "but it is more. The
primary school may develop into So
Geological clearing agency for the discov-
cry and registration of all children who,
when adults, may prove socially depend
ent, defective, or dangerous. Child clas-
sification thus becomes part of the
task of social hygiene as we'll"

Leon Muzzy Going To Waterbury for

Leon E. Muzzy of this city has been

and several children dependent on him,

tablets about Is months ago as cure
for the drink habit, and that in that
time the habit has grown until recently
he has taken from 500 to 600 week,
at cost of about So. It was stated
that for time he made his purchases
in Montpelier, but lately in Barre, and
took them by crushing into powder
and using like snuff. The habit is ruin.

Therefore, Italy surpassed all other
leading countries, with the exception
of the United States, which in exports
only was two per cent higher. This
wonderful increase will be augmented
with the opening of the new water
way.
Figures will demonstrate this better
than words. Italian exports to the
United States are S50,000,000, equal to
1924 per cent OF her total exports, an
amount which is surpassed only by Ger
many and Switzerland, where the Italian
expectation is respectively l4.7 and 1871
per cent. In the same way, the Ameri-
can importation into Italy was 1871 per
cent of the total imports, being sur
passed only by Germany with 1863 and
by Great Britain with l6l.
Italian expectation to the Argentine is
S31 100000 yearly, equal to IL per cent;
to Brazil, S5,200,000 or l3 per cent;
to Canada, s2.736,000, or 0.7h per cent;
to Uruguay, S2,600,000, or or per cent;
TO Central America, Sl,2Il 600, or 0.4
per cents to Mexico, 100000, or OF
per cent. Notwithstanding the diff
culties, before the opening of the Pam
anna canal, of reaching the coasts OF
the American continent on the Pacific,
the Italian expectation to Chill averages
between $3,000,000 and S40e0,000. or
about per cent of the whole exporta
ton; to Peru, 81, 100000, or 0.5 per cent,
and to the other smaller American coun-
tries, S3,000,000, or 0.S per cent.
Many of the foregoing official figures
are below the actual, as large amount
of products is introduced into the mar
kets of the American continent as be-
longing to other countries, for instance,
silk appearing to come from Lyons, Get
ton goods sold as English, etc Likewise,
a number of American mechanical prod
ucts enter Italy as coming from Ger
many or France, and American shoes as
originating from England. Italy is now
nearly 100000 pairs of shoes
from abroad.
