Death of an old Brattleboro Player.

Morris Messer, who died in the Brat

a member of the Brattleboro baseball
team in 1891, when several Brown
university players came here. He was
second baseman at Vermont academy
and at Brown university at the time
when Bert O. Ware of this town was
catcher for those teams. After grad
nating from Brown Messer studied law
and practiced his profession in Boston.
On account of the illness of his mother
he returned to his old home in South

well known writer says
The time to fasten fundamental

they are naturally interested"
This is very true. as a rule. Indeed
our public school histories are pretty
much one account after another OF
wars-and war IS hell" Pretty much
all the Greats OF history, as taught,
are the successful bloody butchers.
Yet or ethics. morals and religion
are opposed to what is called "militar-

some day. set before the children diff
ferent histories histories with less of
the CORY glory and more of the
