is out of all proportion to that Of the
public schools.
The pupils in the Industrial School
come from every corner of the state.
from haunts of vice, from evil
companions, from degrading homes,
from faithless parents.
The state gathers these waits,
cleanses them mentally and morally
and advances them to citizenship. If
score of these putative citizens were
all that the school has done. when they
came to their right minds and became
good citizens of Vermont. the work of
the school would be fully justified.
Humanity all over the country is full
of moral lapses. physical disorders
whence comes scrofula, tuberculosis,
and all uncomfortable diseases? Let
us not too boldly inquire of what stuff
we are made. Let him who is free
from wrong cast the first stone. This
school cleanses only small part of
the physical and moral wrongs of
Vermont. Reverse the youthful en-
vironments-Whatt then might be the
result?
The head of this school. Mr.. J. L.
Barss, is genius in his work. He
has absolute control of the school
without force. The children like him
every one of them; and Mr.. Barss
loves and takes pride in his big family
They are being educated morally and
physically. The average school class
in Vermont does not surpass Mr.
Barss's class, in appearance, in thei

department. This class, taking it a.
an example of the school, makes clea
it's value to the state. The schoo
includes in it's curriculum, not only tn
mental sciences, the moral science
and vocational training. so that wit
good citizenship, every pupil learns

Deafness Cannot be Cured

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the

HIGH COST LIVING.

Let Congress appropriate more
money to be used along the lines of
agricultural development similar to
the small amount already used up by
county organizations in hiring agricul-
tural advisors. and something will be
done to solve the problem of the high
cost of living.
Commissions to investigate the cause
of the high cost of living are all right
but the same amount of money put
into the work referred to above would,
we believe, do more to bring the cost
of living down than any commission o.
investigation can possibly do. 1t is
very apparent from government Stats
tics that it is more beeves we want
to make meat cheap. That it's more
sheep we want to make wool cheaper
That it's more milk per COW we want
to make for cheaper butter and for
profitable farming. That it's more
wheat per acre, more apples per tree,
more eggs per hen. and enlightened
and pleasant agricultural surroundings
that will make living cheaper.
1t is little short of a wrong that
several counties in Vermont are ready
to go ahead with the county advisor
idea, are organized and ready to do
their part, but that the government
has no more funds with which to
match that raised locally and for this
reason the work is at a standstill. Let
Congress pass Immediately a bill
appropriating more money with which
to carry on this work.
The possibilities of these county
organizations are so unlimited and the
benefits to be derived so sure that
Congress should not hesitate tc
appropriate literally and Immediately
for the extension of this work. The
agricultural advisor is but the begin.
ming of the good things these county
organizations will bring about. We
expect to see the day when cc-opera.
tive buying and selling, district
nurses, community veterinarians, COW
testing associations and other things
of like nature will become part of
these county organizations.
We repeat that if the government is
interested in reducing the present high
cost of living let it bend it's energies
to aiding the agricultural producer.
And how better can it be done thar
through these county agricultural
agencies.

PROBATE COURTS

Special sessions of the Probate Court for the
District of Orleans will be held at the office
of F. w. Baldwin, in Barton, on the second
Friday of each month, and in the forenoon
only of the fourth Friday of each month
and at the office of Black & Stoddard in Or
leans, in the afternoon of the fourth Friday
of each month. Parties desiring to transact
Probate business at Barton or Orleans are
requested to notify the Judge in advance.
that he may take the necessary papers.
The Probate Office at Newport will be open
for the transaction of business every day,
except Sundays and holidays but it is de-
sirable, as far as possible, that those coming
from a distance, make special appointments
with the court in advance, either by phone

Just Investigate.

Our esteemed contemporary, the St
Johnsbury Caledonian, takes too seri-
Ously the governors appointment of
Messrs. Cook and Graham to investi-
gate the telephone business in north
eastern Vermont. Vermont is trying
to be Progressive. Among the chief
blossoms of Progressiveness are IN
vestigations. What is being investi
gated or who is doing the investigation
makes little difference in the Progress
sive program so long as the investiga.
tors are Progressives. The Caledonian
thinks that this particular investiga-
ton rightfully belongs to the Public
Service Commission. But why does
the Caledonlan suggest such a practi-
cal and cOmmon-sense course? Does it
wish to spoil anybody's pleasure?
There is nothing to prevent the Public
Service Commission having a separate
investigation of its own. After these
two Investigations are over. it will oe

commission to investigate the two

Making Good Citizens.
We have already printed the fact

young men and women. The exercises
were extremely interesting. more
entertaining and more eventful than
those of any high school or college.
The V. l. S. class and indeed the
whole school, stand differently toward
society than those of the ordinary free
school, so that ones sympathies anc
liberation are at once enlisted. These
wards of the state grip tight upor
ones heart. They have lost some
thing that the rest of us had in oul
makeup, our character when it was ir
the making. We can see in thei1
faces many things; some pleasing anc
cheerful; some showing cruelty anc
neglect in the past, but the greater
number are pleased with their sur
roundings and happy in their home
provided by the state.
We need not go thoroughly into thu

the Boston & Maine railroad persists
in putting new train schedules into

way, shape or manner notifying the
travelling public in advance. The
summer schedules went into effect
Monday on this road. Some trains
were scheduled much earlier, yet the

schedule nor could they even be had

Confers Degree upon Governor.

At the 18th commencement day
exercises Of Middlebury College,
President John M Thomas conferred
seven honorary degrees. In comforting
the degree of doctor of laws upon
Governor Allen M. Fletcher, President
Thomas said: Leader in successive
legislatures of Vermont; an executive

far-seeing in project, determined in
action; Governor of the State of Ver-
mont"
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1913-06-25

In his baccalaureate sermon to the
students of Middlebury college, Presi-
dent Thomas voiced truth that should
be shouted into the ear of every YER
monter, young and old. The address
was in behalf of the small town and
he urged his graduates to meet the
challenged needs of the rural towns
Leadership is all that is needed"
said DR.. Thomas "Who of you will
go to live in a hill town of Vermont,
not where there is the best job, but
where there is the greatest need?
One man of the right calibre and the
right power could lift whole commit
nifty. One community so inspired would
change whole county, and one
county leading the way the whole
state would follow"
A few weeks ago the little village
of South Albany in this county
literally burned up. Last week the
village of Newbury was practically
destroyed by fire. Probably neither OF
these villages will rebuild to any
extent. Here we have one factor in
Vermont's rural problem. Fire protec.
ton and the best possible to obtain, is
needed in scores of Vermont towns
The tax we pay to fire is immense il
comparison to the tax we pay FOL
other things which receive our con
slant condemnation. And by far the
greatest part of our fire tax is I'm
necessary. In the first place careless
ness starts the mischief and in tn
second place thoughtlessness and fea
possibly of little direct tax to pa.
for proper fire protection spells tn
destruction of such towns as Soutl
Albany and Newbury and great fnan
cial loss to many another town.
