A1c0uire's beat the Academy team
yesterday at Byrd Park by the score
of to 3, in one OF the fastest and
most exciting game OF the prep school
season. Although the game could
have no effect on the championship
holder, and was only struggle to
keep out Of the cellar position. II was
hard fought throughout.
Brown pitched his usual good game,
but was q little wild, walking four
ami hitting one. Parrish also pitched
a good game for McGuire's and. al
though ne didn't strike out but Ave,
he kept the hits well scattered, and
the Academy boys could not get any
long ones.
McGuire's started things in the first
inning, when Whitmore and Starkey
were given free bases. Both advanced
base on q. Kuyk's error. and Whit
more was sent home by Leach's sacri-
fee.
In the second, Academy came back
strong. ana scored on errors by Whit
more and Parrish, and scratch hit
by Roden.
Again In the NTH, Binford got safe
on a error by whitmore, went to Sec
.ond on whiticck's sacrifice, and scored
on singles by II. Rsnford and shakel-
ford.
until the eighth the score remained
two to one, when McGuires became
desperate. whitmore and Starkey
secured singles and both came la
when N. Binford muffed NewelPs hot
grounder.

CHRISTMAS FIRES.

st. Adams Messenger.
The Christmas season, time of gen.
eral joy and merry making, has its
own peculiar tragedy and many a
house of merriment in a twinkling of
the eye is turned into a house of
mourning. And all because simple
precautions are not taken. The
tragedies incident to the Yuletide are
from fire; every year in this country
many children are burned to death by
the blaze from Christmas candles.
AS the Holiday Fire Bulletin of the
National Fire Protection Society we'll
says, Fire prevention leaves no
aftermath of regret" Preventive
measures are simple and if observed
the threat of tragedy is removed.
Rules to be observed in the home are
summarized as follows:
DO NOT decorate your Christmas tree
with paper, cotton, or any
other i~nfammable material.
Use metallic tinsel and other
non-inhammable decorations
only, and set the tree Sc
curely so that the children in
reaching for things cannot
tip it over.
DO NOT use cotton to represent snow.
If you must have snow, use
asbestos fiber.
DO NOT permit children to light or
relight the candles while par
ents are not present. They
frequently set fire to their
clothing instead.
DO NOT leave matches within reach
of children at holiday time.
Candles are meant to be
lighted, and if the children
car get matches they will ex-
pertinent with them. They
initiate their elders.
DO NOT allow trees to remain inside
buildings after the holidays.
The tree itself ignites readily
when needles have become
dry. A large number of fires usually
occur in January from this cause.

RIGHTS OF SMALL SCHOOLS.

Randolph Herald and New,

Randolph Herald and News.
Last winter the Legislature of West
Virginia, as reported in Farm and Fire
side, passed a law which promises great
good to the rural schools of the State.
This law provides for the closing of all
schools with an average attendance of
less than ten pupils. Moreover, it auto
matically closes any school, even in the
middle of the term, when its average
attendance falls below ten. The law will
shut up 500 weak rural schools, and re-
lease for the school purposes of the
stronger schools about 5000, 900 which it
formerly cost to run them. This money,
saved by closing the small schools, may
be used in transporting such children as
live so far as to make it necessary, or it
may be put to such other uses as the
school boards may determine. The dying
school should be in this way mercifully
chloroformed. The larger school should
give the pupils a fuller school life, and
make the rural teachers a bigger job.
Burlington Daily News.
We cannot say, not knowing the con-
ditions in West Virginia, whether such a
radical step as closing all rural schools of
less average attendance than ten pupils
will have the desired effectof improving
the educational system. Maybe it will.
Perhaps the closing of these schools and
the transportation of their pupils to other
schools is attended by less hardship than
in States farther north, where the rigors
of winter would make it little short of
inhuman. Taking little children long
distances in the midst of our Vermont
winter, obliging them to travel miles at
morning and night in even the best con-
veyances ordinarily obtainable for the
purpose and with drivers usually
efficient; to eat cold dinners and be
subjected to this routine day after day
of the school year, is a form of heroic
treatment that not many town people,
who are so careful of their little ones,
would care to adopt in their own case,
whatever theoretical impulse might be

E CROSS SEALS.

The Red Cross seals have all the
significance of the regular Christmas
stickers, but that does not begin to tell
their story. In addition to a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year
greeting. the Red Cross Seals tipify as
nothing else of their kind does the real
Christmas spirit of love and sympathy
and service for a brotherhood of suf-
fering humanity. They carry a mes
sage of helpful interest to forlorn
hearts which cannot be directly reached,
however much we may be willing.
They give expression to the best i'm
pulse that comes from the heart of
man-that of h~elpfulness to the unfor-
tunate victims of poverty, misery and
distress. They represent a real and
potent effort to translate this spirit of
h~elpfulness into efficient service toward
alleviating the sorrow and suffering
which follow in the train of the Great
White Plague. They give joy alike to
the heart of the sender and to the re-
cipient and help to a the life and
happiness of some less fortunate brother
beyond the personal reach of either
who has already or may become the
victim of tuberculosis. And tuber-
culosis is so largely a community sin.
Pls ced on correspondence, Christmas
gifts, pay envelopes, they carry at once
a gladstone message, a cherished hope
and a sympathy that cannot be mis-
understood.

CAPITAL FOR FARMING.
Randolph Herald and News.

Figures, the result of careful %investi-
CATION by the Department of Agri-
culture, establish that small farming
does not pay. To succeed a farmer must
have land enough to operate machinery
and teams. This WI suppose refers to
the ordinary kind of agriculture and the
raising of standard crops. There is,
however, much opportunity for a man
with a few acres of good land TO special
ize in a small variety of products, and
on an investment not to great, plus his
wi industry and aided by good
planning, to realize adequate returns.
At the price at which good Vermont
farms of large area can be bought, how
ever, a young couple who know how and
are willing, need not hesitate to incur
debt in their purchase. Farm mort
cages are not the nightmare they once
were.

Brattleboro Reformer.

If you put money in a savings bank
and forget about it long enough the sum
will astonish you when the matter comes
to mind. OF course there are tables made
that tell all about the way money will
double and redouble at interest, butvery
few people remember these; it takes a
real example to make them sit up and
take notice. One of the real examples is
reported now in the case of a woman in
New York who found a bankbo k that
showed that her husband put $72 away
in a savings bank in 1854. There will
come her way now 81, 500.
