commissioner who returned from an
auto trip covering the reservation out
from Forest City to the Moreau river.

they We're absolutely amazed at the
green stretch of country, and found
it beyond their biggest expectations
for good crops. Good corr and much

this year feel especially prosperous.
The only e is that of prairie fires,
which would destroy the unusual crop
of grass, but with continued rains as
they have had the fires have less
chance. The commissioners report inch

Pierre, where another shower of an

STREET CoAsTING RESTRICTIONS
AND ACCIDENTS.

Two more or less serious sliding acci-
dents in Rutland on Sunday illustrate
anew the reasonabIeness of precautions
taken by municipalities to safeguard this
winter sport, and they also illustrate all
too clearly that the young people do not
appreciate the efforts made to protect
them---a condition that exists in nearly
every community, let it be added. Here
in Barre, for instance, the city council
sets aside certain number of streets
each vear--one in each of the six wards
Ion which sliding restrictions are re-
moved. the streets being chosen as nearly
as possible both to give maximum of
sport and to afford minimum OF danger
to the participants as well as to those
who may use the same streets or inter
secting streets for their designed rlr-
poses. Yet the coasters persist in over
riding these ample provisions for slid
ing and they pass along to other streets
on which there are restrictions and where
the general public has been led to be-
lieve that it has right to travel with
out fear of collision or of being run down
by some speeding doublerunner, mas
much as the streets open to coasting
have been duly advertised and those not
so advertised are considered free from

danger. There have been some narrow
escapes from serious accident in Barre
because of the fact that children have
carried on their sport on prohibited
streets-streets where there is great dan
ger because of sharp curves or intersec-
tions with hidden approaches and it has
been good fortune only that has kept
some of the participants from serious
injury. The children ought to take
warning from the accidents in Rutland
and confine their coasting activities to
those streets which are opened by the
city council; and their parents, if need
be, should take them in hand and sec
that the city designated streets are used.

the supervisor in music. Music has an
ethical as well as cultural value to
the student, she declares. She says;
"The purpose of school music is to en-
able the child to sing and take pleas
ure in singing, to derive pleasure in
listening to good music when rendered
by others, to know how music is con-
structed, to be able to distinguish fine
music from trashy, popular sentimental
and even worse, rag music, to be able
TO understand and discuss intelligently
along the lines of music and to listen
mderstandingly and appreciatively to
good music"
Folk songs and folk dances were in
PRODUCED in the Barre schools for the
first time last fall. The pleasure and
the benefit that is derived by the chill
dren from some OF these simple folk
dances, games, ETC., viii speak for them
selves, the supervisor says, to those In
terested enough to visit the schools dur
ing the music period. Grade instruc-
ton and work among the high school
students, who have organized glee club,
has gone hand in hand, The supervisor,
in closing, thanks the other teachers for
the assistance rendered her at various
times.
The essential purpose of the drawing
department is stated as follows by the
report OF the supervisor, Miss Catherine
Reaveley:
To give instruction in drawing that
will develop ability to use drawing as
a common means of expression, and to
train taste in the fine and industrial
arts. and to give instruction in manual
training that shall develop ability to
plan simply constructed articles OF use
and carry them to completion with com
mon tools and materials. To assign
work of such character that the major
ity of pupils can perform it well, and
that the regular grade teacher can teach
satisfactorily.
The supervisor states that work is be-
ing SO planned that students may be
qualified to prepare for the work needed
from them in the stone sheds. The work
of the drawing department is being de-
veloped year by year, says the super
visor in concluding.
OF the unexpectedly large total enroll
ment OF 100 students and more at the
evening drawing school there was an
average attendance of "a for each of the
four evenings per week up to Jan. /,
1914, says Superintendent Charles Pam
perl in his annual report. Owing to
the differences in the knowledge OF the
English language and the great variety
of trade or practical experience these
students bring with them on entering
the school, group or class instruction to
save time is impraeticable. Therefore,
individual instruction, according to each
students needs, is given. The superin-
tendent makes number of recommends
tions regarding the equipment of the

too, the introduction OF related studies,
the superintendent continues, could De
made possible and finally help to make
the school what it ought to become, a
permanent and indispensable part OF the
city school system and Barre's industrial
life.
More Scholars in School.
While the school census shows slight
shrinkage in the total number OF emil
dren of school age in the city, the grand
total OF children attending school TINS
year is materially larger than last year.
In 1912 the total reached 2,457, and IN
the year following, which was the begin
ming of the present school year, the to-
tai is 1862. In his annual review, SUI
perintendent Roscoe makes plea for q
greater measure of cooperation on the
part of the parents. In the fall OF 1913
there were 80 and more new students
who do not figure in the recap1tulation
of children attendance, according to the
census.
There are now SO rooms in the city
available for the needs OF the schools.
A total of 20 teachers are employed.
The enrolment of students by buildings
shows the Mathewson school in the lead
with $50. Spaulding is next with AT
and the Lincoln school is third with 307.
Registrations in the other buildings are
as follows Ayers street, III; Church
street, 1888; Summer street, 226; Brook
street, 279; Beckley street fold buildingl !,
1856; ward five school, 207. In the list
of teachers one appears on the 1914 list,
several on the list taught their first year
in Barre in 1913. and the employment
of one dates back to 1891.

The keene( n H. Republican thinks
that if Keene had been equipped with
an automobile fire truck the severe loss
on the Victoria granite plant might have
been averted last week, inasmuch as tho
auto truck could have reached the scene
Of the fire much earlier than horse drawn
vehicles as the plant is located far out
of the center of the place. Aside from
that, if there had been better water pres
sure the plant might have been saved
with the equipment already in use. So
it seems that Keene has somewhat OF a
problem on its hands.
