VERMONT DEVELOPMENT.
Teachers Invited to Interest School
Children in state Affairs.

The Greater Vermont association is
endeavoring to secure the cooperation or
the schools in the work of interesting chill
1ren and young people in Vermont and In
Vermont development.
The following letter is being sent out to
the schoolmasters of the State:
To the Schoolmasters of Vermont:
Gentlemen The Greater Vermont asso-
citation wishes to ask 70" your advice and
cooperation All Nermonters agree that
one thing needful in our state is to reveal
Vermont's past, present and future, cs-
pecialy the present and future, to our
boys and girls.
If there is "a State in the Union which
needs to attach It.. young people to itself
by every bond of affection and intelligent
interest. it is Vermont. At their most
impressionable age our young people
must have revealed to them all the dis
tlnction and charm, all the resources
and possibilities of the Green Mountain
State
This is problem for us ALL boards of
trade. schools, churches local and State
organizations. But you school men have
special advantages in dealing with this
problem. We ask your opinion with re-
gard to two questions:
1-Wil It be possible in secondary
schools to make use of copies of Greater
Vermont notes for purposes of illustra-
ton in connection with teaching history,
civics and commercial subjects?
The Use of the concrete the local. the
living, what can be seen, heard and touch
ed by the pupil, is Of inestmable value
in giving vividness and reality to the alb
stract and far away. Then too our SUI
preme duty Is to show young Vermonters
what Vermont means, what Vermont may
become. what they ought to do about it.
The association would be glad to CO.
operate with you in an experiment. by
sending secondary schools copies of these
notes for two months, if it is requested.
Twill it be possible to supplement the
high school Washington trip by sum-
mer vacation trip through Vermont by
auto, by train, on foot?
The Better Acquaintance trips OF
boards of trade, suggested by the Greater
Vermont association last fall were con-
epicuous success. We hope to establish a
great system Of these tours this coming
season, so that Nermonters may see one
another face to face, personally inspect
State resources, and directly study State
needs and possibilities.
If such tours are desirable for our citi-
zens, they are absolutely necessary for
our children. We must win young Yer
inonters for Vermont. Better Acquaint-
ance" tours for our citizens, vermont
Pilgrima ges" for our children, may be-
come notable State institutions, invaluable
to us, suggestive to other States.
If we are to be true to the genius OF
Vermont in solving our problems, we mus
show more initiative and vitality than any
other State in the Union.
Yours very truly,
JAMES P. TAYLOR, Secretary.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Important Matters Considered mt
Monthly meeting Thursday.

The regular monthly meeting of the
State board of health was held at the
office in the State laboratory Thurs
day, and se"eral important matters We're
taken up. 1t was brought to the atten-
ton of the board that several cases of
venereal diseases had been reported from
different towns in the State and the
question of how those people afflicted
with them may be quarantined or isolated
was seriously discussed. y law is now in
force requiring physicians to report such
cases to the secretary of the board of
health, but its only purpose is to obtain
statistical information. lust what the
boards powers to order and enforce
quarantine are is the question. Attorney
General r. f. Brown was present and
he was asked to submit an opinion on
the subject.
IT came to the attention of the board
that several new schoolhouses will be
erected in the State the coming season
and that a large number will be repaired
all of which must be done with the APP
prevail of the board. A number of towns
made special appropriations for increased
school facilities at the annual March
meeting.
Final arrangements We're made for the
next issue of the boards quarterly
bulletin, which will be Il school number
1t will contain y plans. elevations, etc.
for ideal school buildings in one and two
stories and half tones of several models.
There will be illustrated articles on the
Importance of proper school grounds, on
sanitary outbuldlnes and plans, and
other general information, including an
article on the control of contagious dis
eases in the public schools.
1t was reported that ice has been cut
| from several water sources in the State
| where the water is known to be polluted,
and the board will make a special in
vestigation of this by an inspector.

FIRE IN SHAVINGS.
Lively Blaze in Shepard & Morse Shed
Last Evening.

9:45 Friday evening in the Shepard &
Morse Lumber companys shaving shed
near the foot Of King street and an
alarm was sent in by the Waterman from
the companys private box, number T.
The fire had obtained good Roadway in
the loose shavings when the department
arrived and was working towards the
roof. A stream of water was immedi-
ately applied and the flames were
drowned out The damage is not very
heavy. the principal part being "a hole
burned in the roof Just how the blaze
originated is not known but 1t was ascer-
iained that 1t crept along the shaft that
supplies the power for the machinery
that bales the shavings and finally

burned through the boxing. Allie Niles
one of the call men, was overcome by
the smoke and gas while inside the shed
and dropped to the floor. He was taken
to the open air where he soon revived.
Dr. Sabin was summoned to attend him.
Although his experience was not a
pleasant one, ne will undoubtedly recover
from the effects of tnhaling the smoke
without serious result. The fremen did
not leave the scene for abour an hour
after the alarm was first sounded.

DECREASE IN DUTIES.
JmpOrtntfOns, However, Almost Double
Those of Yenr Ago.

Figures showing the business done in
the customs district during the month
of February We're given to a Free Press
reporter Friday by Collector Charles
II. Darling. They indicate a decrease in
the amount of duties collected, although
an increase in the amount of importa-
lions. The figures are in about the same
proportion as the two months preceding,
and have probably reached a normal
basis under the new tariff. The business
is indicated in the following figures:
Duties collected for February, sal ,99S. o. ;
duties for February of 1913, $53,9'420.
Value of importatiOns for February,

RATIONAL LOVE.

The rational rather than the romantic
view of marriage Is the one most in
favor with the young people of the
twentieth century," said DR.. IL. Lucas
Wentworth, the we'll known eugenics OK
pert, in an address in Cleveland.
1.-THE rational view will make for hap
pest marriages. And this rational view
is beautifully illustrated in two questions
