The American Farmer,

All things recalled, wouldn't 1t be
the part of craftsmanship to do con-
occasionally for the American farmer?
He's one-fourth Of your population,
and the nations best hope. The
American merchant borrows at five
per cent. The American stock gam
bier, producing nothing, accomplish
ing nothing, a merest leech living by
the toll Of others, borrows for even
less. The American farmer, with all
that can be said to his good and solv-
ent advantage, must and does pay 81
per cent.
And all the time the savings and
postal banks are bullying with billions.
If the government would make two
blades Of grass grow where but one
has grown beforehand publicly 1t
would pay-the wide-fung chance lies
open. Let it model action on French
or German lines, and place the farmer
on borrowing par with the merchant,
the manufacturer and the stock job
Der. Let it evolve a system of farm
loans which shall put those savings
and postal bank billions at a per cent
within the farmers borrowing reach

REAL LIFE IN THE COUNTRY
Fact Is Shown by Mans Eagerness to
Escape From Congestion Of
the Crowded City.

Why is 1t that railway magnates,
presidents of banks and heads of great
enterprises who must perforce do
business in cities, almost all try to
have homes on farms in the country,
where they develop soils, plant crops
and breed animals? 1t is because there
is wearisome monotony in piled up
brick and stone. There is confusion
in crowded streets and changing troll
ley cars and hot smoky railways.
These things man has made, and they
are needful, but they are not life, much
as the farm boy may imagine them to
be.
Life is in the open country. Life Is
in the growing grass, the waving fields
Of wheat, the springing corn. Life is
in the trees and birds, life is in the
developing animals Of the farm.
Any man who works with the land,
who feeds a field and watches the re-
suit, gains a real fundamental know
ledge of the underlying foundation on
which rests all our civilization. 1t
makes him sober man, thoughtful
man, a reverent man, and if he expert
ments wisely hopeful optimist. Life
is where things are born and live and
grow. On the farm is real life.-Breed-
er's Gazette.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1914-07-10

Instruction In agriculture has been increasingly
progressive.
For instance, an analysis of the soil Of the
island showed lack of potash while another
ANALYSIS showed that the seaweed which is cast
upon the beach in large quantities contained that
very element in substantial degree. From that
time it became a part of the regular work of
the farm to gather the seaweed and the driftwood
and to dry and burn it, and to put the ashes con-
tanning the potash back into the soil.
Both industry and recreation are highly deve-
oped. The daily program is almost strenuous,
compared with the life of the boy Of similar age
elsewhere.
Discipline is a marked characteristic, yet 1t is
kindly and attractive, with large rewards for the
faithful, well-intentioned boy, and quick and
certain retribution for the boy otherwise. The
boy makes his place there, as he will in
later life in the larger world.
The daily routine is as follows: Five a. m
boys doing duty mixers, bakers and cooks,
rise; 5:45, reveille; $50, breakfast; to 8:45,
classes in manual training and trades; to II: 15,
morning session Of school; 11:30 dinner; IL m.
to 1 p. M, play; I, classes in manual training
and trades; 230 to 5, afternoon session of school;
$3.50, supper; to 7, play; 7:15, chaper and taps.
On Sunday there is a general relaxation. In
stead of reveille at 5:45 in the morning, the
bugle sounds half an hour later, and instead OF
the peremptory call to RISE a hymn Is played,
during which the boys may lie abed.
A session of Sunday school is held between
10 and II, in which the instructors having Bible
classes assisted by a theological student, who
comes every week for the purpose.
On Sunday there Is also the largest distribution
Of library books, although they are available
every day in the week.
A church service is held at g. conducted usual
ly by visiting clergyman The service is un-
UNCONVENTIONAL, and representatives of various
creeds participate.
In the evening at 7:15 comes the chapel serv-
ice, which is one Of the notable events of the
week. 1t is always conducted by the superintend-
ent and consists Of considerable singing, with
Bible reading and prayer.
At this service all the announcements Of the
week in the way Of entertainments outings and
celebrations made. The purpose is to make
the occasion of the happiest of the week,
and in this direction it is eminently successful.
Everybody the island attends
But Monday night different kind of meeting
is held and is purposely made distinct. This is
also conducted by the superintendent, and it IS
when the grade reports are read when the dis
ciplines are announced. and when the shortcom-

Makes Jobs for Detectives.

Probably the only people to benefit
by recent suffragette outrages are
private detectives, many of whom
are doing little else just now but
guarding pictures and other treasures
of well-known hosts and hostesses
from attacks at social functions, the
London Globe states.
The head of one private detective
agency told me the other day, says
THE Carpenter" in the Express, that
he had been obliged to engage a spe-
cial staff for this work, and that to
some receptions he has sent as many
as a dozen faultlessly attired guests"
to look after the pictures and china
of the host.

ell for New England, an early English corpora
ton From this lie obtained patent of land,
signed November 16 1922, including 5000 acres
and one island in New England.
In 1926 he moved to Thompson's island with his
wife, infant son and servants and built his log
house on the east shore of the island. It's ruins
were discovered few years ago and the site IS
marked by stone inscribed site Of David
Thompson Cabin. First House in Boston Harbor
1926"
After Thompson's death and the removal Of his
family the possession of the island became
subject of litigation. It had been included In the
Massachusetts, bay colony patent Of 1927, and in
1884 was granted for the support of a free school
to the inhabitants of the town Of Dorchester by
which it rented out a pasture.
The island, attractive to its first white owner
because of its harbor, has since then been so
beautifed with groves and rows Of trees aud
orchards that it is probably not exceed in this
respect by any island of equal size along the At
lantic coast.
For three-quarters of century the work of
development and identifying has been going on.
Spruce and other fir trees, oaks, elms, chestnut,
linden, acacia and elm trees abound The orchard
contains apple, pear, cherry, plum and ounce
trees.
More than twenty years ago Mr.. Bradley
ganized the Cottage Row government. This is a
student municipality, but probably the most real
tstic organization Of its kind. 1t includes not
only political government, but the ownership of
property and all that that implies.
Cottage Row consists of a dozen cottages of
various sizes, built by the boys, and each regis
tered with the plot of land in a registry of deeds
There is a city hall, where the city council
meets at stated intervals, and where questions Of
student control discussed as we'll as the af
fairs Of the city property.
The government consists of q Judge, mayor,
three shareholding or property-holding aldermen,
and two non-shareholdng aldermen, treasurer
and an assessor.
The mayor appoints chief of police, lieu
tenant, sergeant and four patrolmen a clerk,
librarian, street commissioner and janitor. Each
has his specified duties to perform. Thus nearly
oneffth of the boys at the school have direct
interest in the management Of the municipal gov.
eminent.
Since the school has been on Thompson's is
land there have been but four superintendents
Charles H. Bradley became superintendent in
March, 1888, completing 26 years of service the
present month. Under his direction the school
has made wonderful progress, and its reputation
has spread all over the country.
