Some members of the Bennington
county fish and game club are dis
turbed lest the organization OF Il sec
ton of the Green Mountain club here
may weaken or injure the fish and
game club. Their fears are ground
taken. There is a psychological mo-
ment for most things and the pres
ent interest in trail making is the pro-
pc time to go ahead with the com
pletion of the trail system at this end
of the state. The fish and game club
has it's sphere and there is a splen-
did chance for the two to work in
harmony in the development OF the
out-of-door spirit which is a part of
patriotism, public health and pro
gress The Green Mountain club is
calculated to attract hundreds of
mem bers, especially ladies who would
never become interested in the FISH
and game club ard at the start ut
least, large membership is essential
to the success OF the project The
members of the fish and game cub
should welcome the trail makers as
partners and fellow workers in the
great lodge of the forest, the field
and the mountain. They are mem
bers OF the same brothe hood and
there is work enough to be done so
that nobody need be sighted.

bounds while others are still absorb
ed in matching sticks or buttoning
and unbuttoning. we thought with
shame of our school system with its
idol of uniformity. BY analogy the
American child has to keep on put
ting the button into the button hole
as long as there is a child OF his
years or height who has difficulty
with buttons.
It is not probable that anyone pres
ent at Madame Montessori's lecture
could dispose of her as merely new
theorist Looking at her face il
lumined with mind and soul, il was
hard even TO have doubts about her
method She herself has no doubts
about it. Without a trace OF person
al vanity. and without the appear
ance of egotism, she told us quite
simply that her method was to prove
the panacea of modern education.
She closed her lecture with words
that rang triumphant 1t will liber-
ate mankind and lead them to a plane
of higher development"
1t was not detailed information
that one got from hearing Madame
Montessori. or the ability to practice
a new method, she did give us the up
lift that comes from contact with a
great personality and Il new vision OF
the possibilities of Education. The
lecture was supplemented by series
of moving pictures showing scenes
at the Houses of Childhood
Here we saw happy little Italians
in queer .esses and gay sweaters
doing the very things We had heard
about. We saw the magic effect
when the teacher wrote on the black
board the word "Lilenzo"; we saw
the children themselves writing in
that marvellously clear hand that
speaks of well controlled muscles.
Before cur eyes the tables were pre-
pared fo' lunch and the children
sourred about and provided for
themselves as If there We're no gre IN
people in the world.
The independence OF the child-en
was visible in every scene. as they
worked at their self appointed tasks.
It was easy to understand the atti-
tudo Of the little boy. who, Madame
Montessorl told us. said to his teach
er. "Se,al can writei then, as an
afterhousht Can you writer
Truly, the position of the Montessori
teacher is different from that of the
old.time school mistress who dared
not confess that there was anything
she did not know.
The close attention Of the children
too. was quite evident from the pic.
lures. 1t was only now and then
that a child stopped MS work to look
up at the moving picture machine.
By o happy illusion, the child en- who
ran out and held up thei' work for
the photographer to see. smiled be-
witchingly at the audience. and
then and there won adherents to the
Monto1sori method.
Sometimes the Dottoressa herself !
appeared. usually with a child by her
side hard at work under he direc-
ton. A teacher at work with one

BENNINGTON, VT, FEB. 8, 1914.

Have you noticed what lot Of
stuff about radium is printed in the
newspapers and magazines lately.
Part of this is legitimate news and
discussion but the unusual amount
leads one to suspect that there are
some clever press agents at work
and that much of this publicity is
preparatory to attempts TO sell stock
in radium mines, radium banks and
radium hospitals or cures. 1t is a
good time TO watch out.

 AT PINE GROVE. NiANTIc.
First of Series July f2, With Mrs.
 Goetx of Raltirors Speaking

The Ladies' Aid society of Pine Grove, Mantle. announces that Sum- day, July 12. will open a series of Sum- day meetings conducted under it's au- spices and held in the Ladies Aid building, which is located in the Con necticut Spiritualists' camp meeting grounds in Mantle.
 These meetings are one of the inn portant events of the camp season, att tracting many people interested in the philosophy of Spiritualism, and will continue every Sunday throughout July and August.
 The list of speakers engaged in- clGdes some we'll known workers to Mantle camp audiences. and new ones have been added this season.
 On Sunday, July F. Mrs. Elizabeth Harlow Goetx of Baltimore, Md, will be the speaker. Mrs. Goetz is consid cred one of the best speakers on the Spiritualist platform, and is a native of New England, which should be an added interest to a New England camp.
 For many years her platform work was solely as a speaker. but within the past year a pleasing phase of plat form mediumship has been developed thus adding to her otherwise brilliant work.
 The hours of service are at II a. m 1 and 2.30 p. n.. with evening seance al o'clock. A cordial invitation is ex. ] tended to all interested to attend thes. meetings, which are open to the pub | lie with collection

Barthclomew's trip to America was brought about by the plans that are bein matured' for an alliance between the various Companies producing Thermos bottles throughout the world.
