THE CURSE OF COLLEGES.

No college president of the country
says and does things to get himself
talked about more frequently than DIR.
STRIKER of Hamilton college. He is al
ways doing it, which is proof that he
has something to say that people want
to hear and think about. For example,
he went to Boston this week and at
the annual banquet of the New Eng
land alumni association of his college
said: eff every college were reduced
% per cent in numbers there would be
% per cent increase in the improve
ment of students in the real sense of
the word If / could control $4,000
600 I should like to show what l think
a college ought to be. At the end of
freshman year l would throw out ev-
erybody who had not attained u grade
of Govt of a possible 100. / would
permit no electives until junior year.
/ would institute a liberal endowment
for all intensive, earnest students, and
would make it impossible for any
other kind of man 20 stay in college
eight months. Speaking of athletics.
! he said: cit is mistake. to talks
apart limited number and feed them
on a queen bee diet. Prominence il
athletics gained that way is a bad ad
vertisement for college if put to the
fore. The curse of American college:
today is intercollegiate contests of al
kinds.
Many people viii disagree with DR.
Styker S idea of throwing out all stu
dents except those who maintain higl
average in studies. Many boys VIII,
obtain only passing marks in school o
college are successful in facing the
hard knocks Of life. Self-conGdence
coupled with the power of initiativ,
and the Judgment TO seize opportuni
ties, often wins over the bright mine
which finches under the stress of re
sponsibility. There will be hearty ap
prevail in many quarters of the doctor
idea of college athletics. 1t is a ba,
system when preparatory schools ar
closely watched, not for their students
but for their athletes, and when a
/ sorts of inducements are offered to tn
youngsters of physical prowess t
come to big educational institutions /
the hope that they may win points i
track and field events and becom
leaders in the so-called major sports.

Spelling in Former Days and Now.

course this is only one instance, and
perhaps an exceptional one, but it is
an open question whether the schools

We used to believe that way but a
few months ago had occasion to exam
inc several hundred old letters written
from SO to 90 years ago. This exami-
nation led us to think that folks nova
days spell just as well as did their
fathers and grandfathers. Since then,
too, we have heard of careful inves
tigation along this same line which re-
suited in similar conclusion that
there has been a marked improvement
IN spelling, not only by adults, but by
the pupils in school, over that of a gem

At the Library
Farmers Encyclopedia

Perhaps some of the people outside
the village Of Brattleboro have not
realized how many of the best agricul
tural books are on the shelves of the
Brattleboro free library, to be loaned
for the asking to residents of the town.
Nearly all the works by the best au-
thorities along the lines of fruit grow
ing, farm management, soils, fertilizers,
crops and livestock are to be found
here and new ones are being added
from time to time.
Recently there has been placed in
the library the new Farmer Encyclo-
pedia, published by the Doubleday,
Page Co. This edition, consisting of
seven volumes, supplies the long felt
need for a concise and up-to-date sum
mary of all the experimental work
done by the United States department
and by the many experiment stations
in the United States and Canada. In
these books one may look up such va
ried subjects as bread making onion
"Trip, Galloway cattle, hay farming,
white pine, certified milk, horse dis
eases, boys and girls canning clubs,
and most every imaginable subject CON
neeted with farming, both out in the
fields and in the farm house. The
treatise on each subject is written in
such a concise and simple way that
the Farmer s Encyclopedia is what it
was intended to bean indispensable
book for the practical farmer.
These books are placed here for the
use of the public and those who are
looking for agricultural information
will find them of much value. l an
glad TO give this brief comment OF
the efforts of the Brattleboro free
library to serve the farming interest.

Almost unnoticed the 50th anniver
sary OF an epoch making event of the
country was passed yesterday. 1t was
on Sunday, April 9, 1865, that Gen Lee,
leader of the Confederate forces, sur
rendered his entire command to Gen.
Grant, leader of the Union army, at
Appomattox Court House, Virginia
This surrender marked the end of the
Civil war, a strife which for four
years had racked this country as only
a bitterly waged civil conflict can. At
ter a lapse Of so years the unity OF
this country is secure. The tempering
process of time has eliminated all the
rancor and bitterness noticeable in the
first years following the war Probably
no event did more to weld the nation
unitedly than the brief Spanish Ameri
can war, when the troops of Vermont
and Tennessee were brigaded together
II an occasion of national defense
should arise now the loyalty of every
state Of the Union could be depended
upon.

Guarding Child Welfare.
(Claremont Eagle.)


The idea of medical inspection for
school children has gained wide ac-
ceptance, but the English writer, DR..
David Forsyth, declares that the first
five years of a child s life are so apt
to show determination of physique that
medical inspection of some sort should
be maintained from birth. The Eng
lish city of Westminster has actually
adopted such plan. The staff of Wis
iting physicians employed by the
school authorities is required to in
spect children shortly after birth and
keep track Of their physical condition
suggesting remedies and methods Of
preventing defects by proper food and
care.
While any such arrangement as the
one adopted in this English city would
meet with too much resentment in
free America to make it feasible,
it is great pity that so many par
ents are uneducated in matters per-
tanning to the welfare of their chill
dren. That this is a fact, the statis-
tict OF infant mortality fully confirm.
Children up to the time of entering
school have built the foundations OF
future health and strength or weak
ness and disease-and the responsibility
up to this time is entirely with the
parents, and especially the mothers.

F.That s fool question, was Col.
Roosevelt s reply to a reporter who
asked him if he thought the Progress
sives would return to the Republican
party. Understand me, - he repeated
with emphasis, that s fool question
to ask now!' The colonel's qualifica-
ton of his first statement will keep
many people guessing. The elections
the past year have indicated that q
large part of the Progressives have al
ready returned to the Republican fold.
Col. Roosevelt himself would still be an
important factor inside the party. Out
side he can accomplish little but elect
Democrats.

MIDDLEBURY BOYS INJURED.
Seymour and Blair Were Run Over by
Moving Machine.

MIDDLEBURY, April 1o.-Leo Say
mour, aged II, and Raymond Blair,
aged 8, were jolted off the tongue of a
moving machine which was b e G
dragged through the village yesterday
and the machine passed over them.
They were picked up and hurried to
Sheldon's drug store where DR.. E. A.
Martin staunched the flow of blood
and administered first aid to the in
Jured. The Seymour boy was found to
have a huge cash under the right eye,
badly lacerated head and bruises all
over his body. Blair bled even more
freely than his friend and was at first
supposed to be the more seriously in
jured.
Their parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin
Seymour and Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Blair, attach no blame to the driver of
the wagon, Ottoman Larrow, who
CHANGED to be passing soon after school
was out. The result was that the Gus
tomary swarm of boys desired to ride
and clustered like bees on wagon and
moving machine.

Party Issues, Not Personal Leadership.
lChrIstian Seience Monitor.l


\ national Republican publicity bureau
mas been organized in Washington, d. G.,
the avowed purpose of which is the prop
agation of doctrines held by that party on
entirely impersonal lines The welfare of
the party, rather than the interests of
anybody in the party, is to receive first
and, for the present at least, exclusive at
tention. In other words, the organization
IS to promote an educational campaign
having to do with measures rather than
with men. 1t would seem from the atti-
tude of those prominent in this undertake
ing that instead of seeking, as has been
the custom, some person who will presum-
ably bring strength to the Republican
party, they propose to make the party it
self the dominant force, and its nominees
simply instruments for the carrying out
of its policies. Leadership, in other
words, will be less sought than loyalty to
those political and economic ideas that
differentiate the Republican from the
other great parties.
1t will not follow from this, of course,
that less attention than formerly will be
given to the quality of the men chosen
to stand for the party before the elector-
ate. While men that are bigger than
their party" will not be sought, men that
will be a credit to it viii be in as great
! demand as ever. The movement is in the
| nature of a revolt against the idea of the
| individual leader, a return TO the funda-
mental idea that the party governs rather
| than the person. There have been times
within the last score OF years when the
individual opinion and course of persons
raised to high station in the party have,
for the time being, had greater influence
upon legislation and administration than
the party that elevated them to power
| 1t would appear that the purpose is to
prevent this hereafter, if possible 1t Is
held that no man has, or can have, a
right to dominant authority in the Repub
lican party; that what Is needed within
the ranks of that organization is service
not leadership
