A FIRESIDE REVERE.

Living in a world ideal
In enchanting dreams,
All it's sweeter than the real,
That which only seems.
Let US sit here in the freight
Near this glowing CRATE,
And, wherever fancy leads US,
Through golden gate,
Wander and return at pleasure,
Be it soon or late.
Smooth the road and bright the pathway
Wheresoe' er we go,
Not a shadow Ger US darkens,
Never fear we know.
In the air the voice of music
Floateth sweet and low.
Ever and anon we tarry
Meath some grand old tree
Where the sparkling streamlet howeth
Onward to the sea.
Ripping lightly as it passes,
Laughing, as in glee.
Talking softly thus we linger
Singing some sweet lay.
So the bright hours all too swiftly
Pass from US away,
And the lengthening shadows warn US
Of the close of day.
Homeward then we fan would wander,
And cen while the thought
Rises in our hearts for utterance
Thither we are brought
By swift and happy journey
With sweet fancies fraught.
Fairies kind have us transported,
And, while winds rise higher,
Here we are so snug and cozy,
By our own bright fire;
And, with mem 'ries of our dreaming,
Naught more to desire.
Is it not world ideal
This the land of dreams?
Brighter. sweeter than the real
That which only seems.

INAUGURAL MESSAGE PROMISES
REFORMS

Washington, March "A broad, con-
structive political policy during his ad-
ministration of the affairs of the United
States was pledged to the people by
President Woodrow Wilson in his inaug-
ural address delivered here today. He
closed with an appeal to all patriotic
men, irrespective of party, to aid him
in carrying out that policy.
1--WE shall restore, not destroy, said
the President in summing up his pro-
posed alterations in legislative, govern
mental and industrial affairs.
Existing conditions demanding change
through legislative action were par
ticularized by President Wilson as fol-
lows:
"a tariff which cuts US off from our
proper part in the commerce of the
world violates the just principles of
taxation and makes the Government a
facile instrument in the hands of pri-
vate interests.
"a banking and currency system,
based upon the necessity of the Govern
ment to sell its bonds fifty years ago
and perfectly adapted to concentrating
cash and restricting credits.
can industrial system which, take it
on all sides, financial as well as admin
istrative, holds capital in leading
strings, restricts the liberties and limits
the opportunities of labor, and exploits
without renewing or conserving the
natural resources of the country.
IA body of agricultural activities
never yet given the efficiency of great
business undertakings, or served as it
should be through the instrumentality
of science taken directly to the farm,
or afforded facilities of credit best suited
to its practical needs.
water courses undeveloped, waste
places unreclaimed, forests INTENDED
and fast disappearing without plan OF
prospect of renewal, and unregarded
waste heaps at every mine.
The inaugural address of the new
President was short in the extreme,
occupying scarcely 1000 words. Nc
mention was made of the future foreign
policy of the United States or the atti-
tude of the Wilson administration to-
ward Mexico.

WILSON DEFIES PARTY POLICIES
Means Much More Than Par
tisanry.

Washington, D. c., March 4.-Fol-
lowing is the text of President Wilson S
inaugural address:
There has been a change of gov
eminent. 1t began two years ago,
when the House of Representatives
became Democratic by decisive ma
jority. 1t has now been completed.
The Senate about to assemble will also
be Democratic. The offices of Presi-
dent and Vice President have been
put into the hands of Democrats. What
does the change mean? That is the
question that is uppermost in our
minds today. That is the question
am going to try to answer, in order, if
| may, to interpret the occasion.
1t means much more than the mere
success of a party. The success of a
party means little except when the ma
ton is using that party for a large
and definite purpose. No one can
mistake the purpose for which the
nation now seeks to use the Demo-
cratic party. 1t seeks to use it to in
terpret a change in its own plans and
point of view. Some old things with
which we had grown familiar, and
which had begun to creep into the
very habit of our thought and of our
lives, have altered their aspect as we
have latterly looked critically upon
them, with fresh, awakened eyes; have
dropped their DISCUSSES and shown
themselves alien and sinister Some
new things, as we look frankly upon
them, willing to comprehend their real
character, have come to assume the
aspect of things long believed in and
familiar, stuff of our own convictions.
We have been refreshed by a new in
sight into our own life.
We see that in many things that
life is very great. 1t is incomparably
great in its material aspects, in its
body of wealth, in the diversity and
sweep of its energy, in the industries
which have been conceived and built
up by the genius of individual men
and the limitless enterprise of groups

VERMONT'S EDUCATIONAL AID
VANCE.

Important constructive work along
educational lines stands to the credit of
the recently adjourned Vermont Legis-
lature. To blaze paths of future reform
a commission to investigate and report
on the educational needs of the State
was provided for. One of the members
OF this commission, which has already
begun its inquiries, is President Butler
of Columbia University. Systematic
investigations of the same subject, or
rather parts of it, there have been, but
none furnishing a definite, comprehen-
slve programme. The Russell Sage
Foundation rated the schools of YER
mont twelfth among those of the States
of the Union on a basis of general ex-
cellence. Professor Raymond McFar-
land of Middlebury College, with his
critical report on Secondary Educa-
ton in Vermont, helped to prepare the
way for the reorganization of the State
Board of Education. For the legisla-
tors of 1928 did not wait for the re-
port of the investigating commission
before beginning to overhaul and alter.
To the State board was given general
supervision over the secondary schools,
in addition to it's former control of the
normal schools. The Board will Incl
dentally have the direction of the
teachertraining courses in the high
schools, means of providing teachers
for the rural schools which has been
found to be full both of imperfections
and of promise. 1t will have power also
to effect better combination of school
moneys and more equitable distribu-
ton thereof.
But the most striking change brought
about by the act lies in power of the
new board to appoint the superintend
ent of education, who after the present
biennial term becomes the executive
agent of the board. Heretofore the
choice of the State superintendent has
lain with the Legislature, producing
condition which, it is said, tempts and
enables an incumbent of the office to
spend a great deal of his time, energies
and capacities in canvassing for re-
election.
Another far-reaching measure pro-
vides that any town or supervisory
union may receive financial aid from
the State if it maintains a high school
giving agricultural courses under condi-
tons prescribed in part by the act itself
and in part by the board of education.
Vermont has made rapid educational
progress in recent years, particularly
with regard to adapting it's schools to
community needs and service, and
bringing them into harmony with do
nestle vocational interests. The faults
of the educational system, however,
have resulted in many administrative
controversies and political animosities,
and it can hardly be doubted that it's
reorganization, with closer articulation
among its various parts and phases,
will accelerate educational advance
from now on. Had the recent Legisla-
ture done nothing else but adopt these
measures which have here been noted,
the two hundred thousand dollars spent
for its maintenance would have been
we'll invested in the cause of economic
and human conservation. Boston Trans

NEW PLANTS DISCOVERED.

In making a study of grazing
lands on the national forests, 1875
entirely new species of plants have
been discovered by the governments
experts, and will be famed and class
flied by the botansts of the depart
ment of agriculture.
Their discovery came about
through the collection Of some 5000
different plant specimens, with notes
as to their habits of growth and for
age value. This work is part of a
comprehensive plan to determine
the grazing value of every acre
of national forest leand, in which
the capacity OF the soil to grow
certain forage crops is to be de-
eide for which class of stock, sheep,
cattle, or goats on the range is best
suited.
The men who have made the stud
les have combined the qualities of
practical stockmen and trained bot
anists. They divided the areas into
such small subdivisions that maps
have been prepared which show ex-
actly the kinds of feed which grow
on each acre, and the time of year it
is ready for grazing. The maps also
show the stocks water supply and
indicate the kind of stock best suited
to the area.
The investigation aslso showed the
examiners many areas covered with
hourishing plants which apparently
should furnish excellent grazing, but
which were not of a character re-
lished by stock; these areas, there
fore, had little or no stock-carrying
capacity.
AS result of the study, the for
est service announces that it will be
in position to perfect its system of
grazing management to bring about
still better conditions for both stock
and ange.
