The re-appointment of J. W. Titcomb
as Fish & Game Commissioner for Yer
mont is received with general satisfac
ton. No one man has done more for
the protection of fish and game in Yer
mont than Mr.. Titcomb. His heart is in
the work and that he has sacrificed time
and money along that line is true, There
ton in this department so long as it has
one of the ability and character of this
man at its head. There is such thing
as being penny wise and pound foolish"
even in this department and we are glad
that the Governor overlooked the whrn-

continued Mr. Titcomb in a position in
which he is in every way well qualified
to fill.

The gro at basis of American citizenship
is now as it has been since the birth OF

influence of national political parties =
DR.. Frank Johnson Goodnow, President
of Johns Hopkins University
The great basis of American citizenship
rests in the common public schools
There can be no consciousness of nation
ality or assurance of citizenship without
education. These first and toundational,
and then your political parties can COM
pete as much as they please-the country
is safe. The philosophy of the president
of Johns Hopkins University is undoubt-
eddy profound. but it does not seem to
cover the meaning of what it is intended
to describe. Again, it is true that the
number of eminent gentlemen who do
not know what they are talking about
is increasing in the United States.

MRS. WILKINSON TO READ
 FOR DRAMA LEAGUE

The last meeting of Drama league un- til the New Year will be held on Tues day afternoon, December A. at 8 o'clock at Tutwiler. Mrs. B. F. Wilkerson will read one of the Barrie Half Hours called The Twelve-Pound Look. This is the vehicle that Miss Barrymore used for two seasons and there is not a dull line in the play.
 The one-act drama may convey ideas as large as those upon which three and four-act plays are built There is econ omy of words-every sentence advances the plot
 Barrie has shown great deftness and skill in the 'Twelve-Pound Look" He seizes a small group of people at crisis in their lives and lays their whole his tory before us. The playwright was in a satirical mood when he wrote this play. It is a satire from start to finish, no bitterness, however. It is good natured throughout The egotism of the man of the story-hs quality of success that swallowed up every other quality. And upon his great day, the hour of his suc- cess, the woman of the play tells him that she does not admire him. This is the subject of "The Twelve Pound Look," and subject enough, it is, too.

The type of work in different localities nat urally varies, but certain activities are undertaken by all sections, such surveys leading to the establishment of national policies.
 The movement of prison reform, for country life and rural betterment, study of the immigrant problem as affecting women and the work of the vacation committee with it's social aspects and it's stamp saving system, encouraging the development of thrift, are all in this class of national movements.
 Throughout the south the country life committee has laid emphasis in it's work upon rural health conditions and the development of community organiza tion. The great need in the south fol trained women to do rural community nursing was first felt and realized by the American Red Cross, and it was
 
 ton that the country life committee de- cided to undertake the creation of $100, 0o0 fund for the establishment of a chair in Peabody college for the training Of nurses to do this work.
 The southern officers of the woman S department of the National Civic Fedora tion are: Mrs, Archibald Hopkins, chair man, district of Columbia section, Wash ington, D. C.; Mrs. J.

"HE first great meeting of American
 women to be held in Washington
 \ city in the new year of 1916 will be the annual convention of the woman s department of the National Civic Federa- ton, January r and 1s at the New Will lard hotel.
 The women of the south are especially interested in the meeting of this body this year, owing to the fact that an agree ment between this organization and the conference of southern women has been reached as to the work of the two as- sociations. Miss Maude Wetmore of Rhode Island and New York, chairman of the woman's department of the Ma tional Civic Federation, and her official co-workers attended the conference for education and industry held in Chatta- nooga last April, and made a splendid impression on the throng of southern leaders at that time.
 particular reason why the southern people are interested in the work of the woman's department, National Civic Fed eration, is that the country life commit tee of that organization has projected the movement for the establishment of a chair of rural nursing to be established at Peabody college, Nashville. Tenn., and also because of the organizations agree ment with the agricultural department at Washington to cooperate with all rural movements inaugurated by the govern ment.
 The wonlan's department of the Ma tional Civic Federation is a standing com mlttee of the National Civic Federation of which, the Hon. Seth Low is president. The general officers of the department are Miss Maude Wetmore, chairman; Mrs. Rogers H. Bacon, secretary; Miss Anne Morgan, treasurer, and Mrs. Lynd- say Van Rensselaer,, executive secretary.
