CHRISTMAS IN BELGIUM.

Over three million souls in Belgium
and Northern France, mostly women
and young children, must be clothed and
shod by Christmas. If the garments
and shoes for these destitute people are
not forthcoming at once, their suffer-
ings during the winter will become des-
perate.
Such is the keynote of an urgent APP
peal issued to the people of the United
States by the Commission for Relief in
Belgium. The New York Committee
have received from Mr.. Herbert Hoover,
Chairman of the Commission, a state
ment in part as follows /:
ut appears to mi that it is necessary
for us to go frankly to the American
people and ask them to clothe the des-
titute in the occupied areas of Belgium
and Northern France during the coming
winter.
There are nine million people in
these areas and of these over one-third
are now wholly or partially destitute
and are today receiving their food either
wholly or partially without payment.
at is a certainty that the undue ex-
posture of UNDERGRAD men, women and
children to the bitter winter will great
ly increase mortality. The clothing for
these people can be provided only if we
receive gift supplies for the purpose.
We must depend upon the American
people.
what we urgently need is new
wooden clothes for women and girls and
boys, wooden and cotton materials for
babies clothing, shawls, stockings, jer-
seys, sweaters, blankets boots and
shoes, undertaking, o~vercoats, petit
coats, suits of all descriptions, and in
fact every article in the gamut of warm
clothing.
at seems to US that there must be on
the shelves of the stores and in the
houses of the United States a large
amount of remnant cloth materials and
new ready-made clothing which would
be contributed or could be purchased by
the various committees interested in
u work on terms of the greatest DOS
sible economy.
at is u hope that we may have
consignments arriving by Christmas and
we do not believe that there is any man.
ner in which the American people can
better show their inherent instinct of
philanthropy and kindness than by an
swering this appeal from millions of
helpless, destitute people.
In view of this appeal we now ask for
additional help from Middlebury and
Addison county. Since last February
we have raised about $3.50 in this county.
of which one-half came from Middle
bury. The commission is most grateful
for the generous help and desires to ex-
press its gratitude in behalf of the peo-
pie of Belgium. 1t earnestly hopes that
this new appeal will meet with support.
1t is well to note that the work of the
Belgian Commission nov includes
North 4rn France which means the feed
ing and clothing of 1900, 900 people
there in addition to the destitute in
Belgium.
New material for clothing or new
ready-made clothing or money where
with to buy clothing may be sent to
Mrs. w. S. Burrage, 3 Storrs avenue,
Middlebury.
Mrs. Burrage still has on hand a sup
ply of pencils at five cents each and a
supply of silver-plated Belgian souvenir
spoons at % cents each, the sale of
which will help the cause.

JOHN A. HOWE.

Middlebury College has lost another
honored graduate by the death of John
A. Howe of the class of 1853, which &C.
Cured November 10, in Albany, N. Y.
Mr.. Howe was born in Poultney Octo-
Der l, 1884 and was therefore 81 years
of age. After four years of teaching
at Poestenkill, N. Y, he became princi-
pal of a grammar school in Albany, N.
Y. To that city he gave over fifty
years of efficient service, endearing
himself greatly to thousands of pupils
and indeed to the entire city.
The Albany Argus thus comments on
his DEATH
monuments better than of stone or
bronze are in life work such as that of
the late John A. Howe, the ''old school
master" A career so fruitful as his of
good ideas and pushing of them as in
the night school system, the Pine Hills
and South End free libraries and the
practice, ~inaugurated by him and now
of general adoption all over the country,
of displaying the stars and stripes from
public school houses, are enough to
make a big career. But even beyond
that was the one he achieved as a
teacher with the occupations oppor-
tunities of helpfullness and inspiration.
His memory is a tender one among
thousands of boys and girls that have
been moulded for life at his hands and a
precious possession for all Albany"
The editorial of the Times Union is
equally appreciative and brings out the
unique services Mr.. Howe rendered.
I'm the death of Prof. John A.
Howe education circles and the schools
of the city of Albany have lost their
Grand Old Man." He solved the
problem of how to grow old gracefully,
and his passing was one of peace-as if
he was conscious that he "had fought
the good fight, kept the faith" and was
ready to "lie down and rest"
Prof. Howe was something more
than an educator; he was a kindly,
sympathetic and loyal friend to every
one of his students, and a companion
able, sincere brother to his colleagues.
He was not a follower, he was a
pathfinder.
HE was the founder of the Albany
Free Library; he was the first to advo-
cate and carry into practice the now
universal custom of displaying the Stars
and Stripes over the school houses: he
was the founder of the first kinder
garten and the first night school in
Albany.
In the half century or more in which
he taught in the schools of this city he
blazed the intellectual path for hundreds
of brilliant men and women, andif every
one who loved him were to lay a single
rose upon his grave the pile would be
mountain high.
"Of John A. Howe it can be truth
fully said: "He left the world better
because of his having been in it," Is
not life worth the candle in such a case?
He doesn't need a monument. Bronze
and stone are mere blots upon the land
scape in comparison to this life-record."
