eight pounds to the square inch,
which is expected to furnish an air

The boat weighs HOO pounds.

The propeIIers have thirteen inch
blades, with a sixty inch pitch. which,

Women on School Boards

In almost every state in the Union
there is at least one woman on the school
board. Why does not Vermont adopt
this plan? 1t would be one small step in
the right direction, and it would not in
crease expenses. Mortified might take
the initiative in this matter and have a
woman school director and try it out.
Is has certainly worked to good advan-
tage wherever it is in practice and the
States which do have women school direc-
tors are all States that stand way ahead
of Vermont in educational lines. There
are very few II en- who know the needs of
the schools as the mothers know them;
few men have the time to think of many
details that should be looked after.
Mortified has not had the best possible
schools, and if there is a chance of increas-
ing their efficiency by having the advice
aud cooperation of a woman on the board,
by all means let us have one appointed.

/ Care For Drinkers

The dominant sentiment of the report
of special commission created at the
1918 session of the Massachusetts, Legis-
lature, is that there should be no more
Jail sentences for drunkenness. The com
missions report declares that the ext t.
ing penal procedure for persons arrested
for drunkenness is an Inappropriate treat
ment for such msdemeanants. Except
in the case of such persons as do not re-
spond to release, probation, fine and sus-
pended sentence, the commission says
futher, should the Jail sentence be en-
ployed. Yet still further dose the report
urge that no person be sent to Jail on a
charge of drunkenness until after medi-
cal examination and a demonstration to
the entire satisfaction that the victim
cannot be benefited by hospital treat
ment.
This report by commission of experts
Is attracting country wide attention, and
the conclusions reached are likely to
have a great and far reaching influence
in the matter of the victims of intemper-
ance. Sure it is that if the appetite for
strong drink is disease th@n the victims
thereof should be given medical treat
ment and not Jail sentence. Prevention
of drunkenness it seems should be the
first effort of society. Social and dietary
teaching will accomplish much in this
field.
'sThrottle the Saloon is one recon-
mendation of the commission. The teach
ing, or at least the outlining, of the evils
of intemperance in the public schools is
urged especially by the commission

A Lively Vermont Village

The town clerks census of Bethel vii
| lage for the present year, showing an in
crease of nearly 400 persons over the U.
| S. census of 1910, is very encouraging in
asmuch as so many villages and towns
of Vermont are most likely losing or
standing still. 1t is probable that Bethel
is at the present time the fastest grow
ing community in the state, because the
population has increased approximately
40 per cent since the federal census was
taken. This increase is attributable large
ly to the development of the granite in
dustry in that comm unity, even as
similar industry is to be given credit for
marked growth of several other places in
Vermont. The granite business has been
big help to the little Windsor county
village and it is bound to make it more
than eyer one of the prosperous, progress
sive centers of the state, to which more
and more people will be attracted.
There is one feature about this kind nf
growth, too, which is sometimes over
looked. The increased population of
towns and cities having granite industries
in their midst is not recruited to any
appreciate extent from other commu IL
ties in Vermont, but it draws from Other
states and even other nations. since skill
ed workers in this line of industry come
from far away stone-working centers, the
percentage of resident population going
into the business and learning the trade
being negligible. Therefore, the smaller
communities are not drained to furnish
workingmen for the granite plants, and
the net gain to the state in population is
almost in proportion to the gross increase
Of the granite towns, excepting, of course,
those who may be attracted to the grow
ing centers of population as offering
better advantages for profit than the
country communities can furnish. Bethel

to which Vermont looks to keep its
population from falling back. barre
