HILL TOWNS OF NEW ENGLAND.
What Leadership Can Do to Advance
Them.

Go back to the home town or to
some other of the hill towns of New Eng
land, ard become leader of the people for
the good of the communities, says Presi-
dent John NJ. Thomas to the graduating
students of Middlebury college in the
Vermont town of the same name. No
sounder advice than that has been hand
ed out to any of the young people this
summer. The most important point the
president made on which to base his adj
vice is that the hill towns of New Eng
land have been for more than half
century losing their population, and he
added: Leadership is all that is need
ed. Who of You will go to live in a
hill town in Vermont, not where there
is the best job, but where there is the
greatest need? One man of the right
caliber and the right power could lift
whole community. One community so
inspired would change a whole county,
and one county leading the way, the
whole state would follow"
That is the most apt criticism of the
habit of the country people in sending
the best they have to the cities. All
know that the best is sent to the mar
kets to sell because of the general inn
preston that that is the best way. But
there is no law of demand which forces
any such condition. So long as that
prevails in the farm crop disposal it
is more than likely to prevail in the
disposal of the young people, as it sure
~ does now. But the chance of failure
in the cities is more than four to one
i'm the towns. There are examples of !
the advantages of remaining in the home |
town and of going to another town of |
the same kind to make career. More |
than 65 per cent. of the leaders in state
legislatures are sent there by small |
towns. The homes if not the Offices Of I
more than 80 per cent. of the federal |
legislatures in this country are in the
smaller towns of various states. Much
more than 80 per cent of all legisla
tors who win fame are country bred. /
There is percentage of more than 10
to | that the sons of the young men
graduated from Middlebury college this
year will win more substantial fame in
the world if they are born in country t
homes than in city homes. That alone
is sufficient reason for bearing in mind
the advice of President Thomas. But
for the present generation the chances
are better. and the ways are much
easier now than during the first half of
the time the president refers to as the
dccadcnt period Of the hill towns. There
ere more railroads, more electric roads
and the automobiles are within reach of
all mon who make a fair success of life.
and they are more within the reach OF
the country attorney, doctor, teacher, !
merchant or farmer than to the city
man in similar circumstances. because
of the economy in keeping them. The .
man in the country has more time of
his own to take care of the machines,
or he may have the work done at less

GORGEOUS CHORISTERS.
Soy Singers of the Private Chapel In
ST. James Palace,

ST. James Palace.
There are ten boys In London who
every Sunday and on, state occasions
wear suits Of clothes that in each in
stance cost something like 5000 The
lads thus extensively and brilliantly
attired are the choristers belonging to
the kings private chapel in St James
palace. When arrayed In their state
suits they are truly gorgeous sight
Scarlet cloth is the foundation OF
this costume. Bands of royal purple
between rows of heavy gold lace are
the adornments. Old lace ruffles are
worn at the neck and wrists. These
ruffles are so valuable and So difficult
TO replace that they are worn only on
the most special occasions. At other
times white lawn bands take their
place. The boys must take great care
of their suits, which must endure three
years. The ''undress" suits are re-
placed every eight months.
This choir is one of the historical in
situations of Great Britain. and many
of its old time customs. including the
dress of the boys, are retained to this
day. The choir has numbered among
its singers such distinguished musicians
as Sir Arthur Sullivan. Edward Lloyd.
Sir John Goss and DIR. E. ]. Hopkins.
II is the right of the head boy to de-
mand a guinea as "spur money" from
any officer entering the chapel wearing
spurs. 1t is said that when Arthur Sui
Ivan was head boy the Duke of Wei
ington would always come spurred to
the chapel. in order that he might have
