The board of education ran against a snag today in it's request of the board of apportionment for $1, ,116.36 for janitors' salaries defciency and $77214 dehcfency in teachers salaries.

WHITE CLOVER,

dora Read Goodale; "All Round the
Year Verses from "Skyfarm," by Elaine
Goodale and Dora Read Goodale, 6. r
Putnam's Sons lSslD
The distant hills. the long day through
Have tainted in a haze of blue;
The sun has been burning fire.
The day has been a warm desire
But all desire is over,
The lights are fading from the west,
The night has brought a dreamy rest
And deep in yonder wood is heard
The sudden singing Of a bird
While here an evening wind has stirred
\ slope set thick with clover
The fields have lost their lingering light
The path is dusky through the night
The clover is too sweet to rose
Her fragrance with the gathering dews,-
The skies are warm above hey.
The cricket pipes his song aGAin,
The COWS are waiting in the iane
The shadows fall adown the hill,
Ana silent is the whippoorwill;
But through the summer twilight still
You smell the milk-White clover.
The glory o fthc day has ceased,
The moon has risen I'm the elsa,
The distant hills, the meadows near,
Are bather in moonlight soft and clear
That wells the landscape over:
And born of rare and strange perfume,
Pure as the clover's odorous bloom.
Dear hopes that are but half confessed.
Dim thoughts and lonsings fill the breast
Till lost AGAIN in deeper rest
Among the hlossomed clover

VERMONT MITES

from the ST. Johnsbury Caledon,an)
Former Nermonters returning to their
homes for visit are constantly tellin-
us That Vermont scenery is as fine as
any in the world. that the STATE is much
nearer the great markets than most
agricultural states. and that Vermont
soil can produce as much as any soil
IN IN" iand. But it also develops that
they We're never told these things ov
their parents and friends before they
left the state. on the contrary. they
We're allowed to go away with thu idea
that Vermont was seriously lacking the
advantages to be found in other States.
Lack of instruction about the real ad-
vantages of our State has been largelv
responsible for the great drain tnon
its young mon ana women These facts
impress ono with the Importance Of the
present residents correctly informing
themselves about the advantages Of Vor-
mont compared with other places and
then diligently teaching these facts to
their children.
These former Normonters who have
been successful in other fields also
gratuitouslY tell their former uoighhurs
Of ways of improving conditions, for
Themselves and the state as whole.
This advice should also he given a re-
spoctful hearing because it comes from
successful men who are free from sell
fish motives in Offering their suggestions
ana oftentimos the following Of their
advice would be to our advantage. In
this way they may to limited extent
repay some of the loss they caused Nor-
mont by leaving it under a wrong i'm
pres sion.
II Nermonters will inform themselves
on their advantages, teach this knowl-
edge To the young and apply whatever
practical advice comes to them from out
side sources. the State will enjoy a new
era of growth and Development

SOLDIER, REST!

(From the Lady of the Lake. Canto IT.
Soldier. rest, thy warfare DER
Sleep tho sleep that knows not breaking;
Dream of hattled fields no moro,
Days of danger, nights of waking
In our isles enchanted hall.
Hands unseen thy couch are strcwinE,
Fairy strains of music fall
Every sense in slumbcr dewinz.
Soldier rest, thy warfare DER,
Dream Of lighting fields no more;
Sleep the sleep that knows not hrcannC
Morn Of toll, nor night of waking
No rude sound shall reach thine ear
Armors clang. or war steed champng;
Trump nor pibroch summon here
Mastering clan or squadron tramping
Yet the larks shril fife may come
At the daybreak from the fallow,
And the bittern sound his drum
Booming from the sedgy shallow.
Ruder sounds shall none he near,
Guards nor warders challenge here.
Here's no Nar-ste DIS neigh and cham, Ing
Shouting clans or squadra.s stamping
Huntsman, rest thy chase is done:
While our slumbrous spells assail yc,
Dream not, with the rising sun
Bugles here shall sound revelle
Sleep, the deer is in his den:
Sleep! the hounds are by thee lying;
Sleep nor dream In yonder glen
How thy gallant steed lay dying
Huntsman. rest! thy chase is done:
Think not of the rising sun,
For at dawnng to assail We
Here no bugles sound reveilIe
