shaping of educational matters in this
state under this excellent board and

men and in his position will measure
up to the task. F. H Brooks has had
much experience on the board and is
familiar with educational history in
this state from it's foundation. A. w.

chairman of the educational committee
of the last house and the present law
is largely the outcome of his work and

Last week the Monitor mentioned
the fact that automobile traffic was
coming to Vermont more than ever
this summer. But is Vermont any
better prepared to handle the traffic
than last year? It has been sad fact
that what summer business has come
our way in the past has, as a whole,
''put up with u.s." instead of being
invited, entertained and cared for in
first class shape. We have not the
number of modern, clean, wholesome
and cordial hotels we need. Take
Orleans county for instance Orleans
county has more bodies of water of size
than any other county in the state.
1t has the mountain scenery, rivers,
drives and every attribute to summer
custom, yet no successful effort seems
to be made for summer hotels. Bono
seen, Morey, st. Catherine, and other
Vermont lakes, not one whit better, if
as good as Willoughby and our other
lakes in Orleans county, support sum-
AACA IOCSlo LIIdG pay. Anu mere we
have lyingaat our very doors in every
part of the county lakes that are
admitted to be unsurpassed for their
size, without so much as semblance of
a modern house with modern summer
amusement and sporting opportunities.
At Willoughby, people are unable,
summer after summer, to obtain &C.
Communications. 1t is not because peo-
pie do not want to come to these
places in large numbers but because we
keep them away. One party from a
large New England city, who spends a
part of each summer at Willoughby
remarked last year to the editor that
he could fill medium-size house from
his city alone. But we keep them
away by not giving them quarters and
letting others invite them other ways.
It isshighstime we get busy.

Likes the Suggestion.

The Barton Monitor gives voice to
what-as far as I KNOWS an original
suggestion in it's statewide scope,
which is that the villages of Barton,
Orleans and Glover be connected each
with the other by a row of trees on
each side Of the main highway con-
Meeting these villages. This, whether
it relates to these named thriving
villages or any other like conditioned
locality IN the state, is certainly
thoroughly excellent conception. It is
entirely practicable, too, requiring only
degree of local public spirit and CO.
operation on the part of those who
should be most benefited, and the
Advance is hoping strenuously that the
thought may be seriously taken up
throughout the state generally and in
various localities a start made this
season toward Undertaking. the idea
into magnificent realization. Think of
Vermont as the first state of the Union
to line it's beautiful trunk highway
lines with splendid rows of trees, mile
after mile! In view of the future of
the automobile and the model roads yet
to be. the conception is surely a most
artistic and utilitarian one in happy
combination. Jack" Harris in The
Advance.

Two Boys, a Cow, and Two Calves.

This is short story of how two
Vermont boys. still in their teens, have
made some real money on a thorough
bred Guernsey. They paid $500 for
the animal when she was two years
old, and as their father was a banker
and they were away at school farmer
was induced to keep the animal for
them. They lowned the cow a little
over two years and during that time
she had two calves. The boys found a
ready market for the calves and have
just sold the COW. the three animals
having been sold for S525. The farmer
charged them $125 for keeping the
stock, and other expenses and the boys
will net 800 apiece on the transaction.
The boys are quite satisfied with their
investment anc incidentally have be-
come somewhat interested in life upon

Use Them Right.

Auto touring in Vermont and other
New England states is sure to be
heavier this summer than ever before
in history. We hope the hotel owners
and boarding-hous keepers are alive to
their opportunity. Auto tourists are
pretty good people as a rule but they
have been around and are not easily
fooled. They want clean, we'll aired,
understanding rooms, good beds. fresh,
wholesome, well-cooked and we'll
served food. They want neat and
attractive surroundings and are will
ing to pay fair rates but object to
being overcharged. If the hotel pro-
pretors of Vermont are awake to their
chance they can make reputation for
themselves and the state will add a
million dollars or more a year to the
business Of the state. IF they are not
alive to their opportunity or are
greedy, offensive, unaccOmmodating
and unwilling to supply what the
trade demands, they will give the
state a black eye that will take years
to overcome. The hotel men of Ver-
mont should be up and doing in prep
aration-not for a harvest of easy
money, but to lay the foundation Of a
permanent profitable business which if
carefully fostered, will add to the
prosperity of every community in the
state. No hotel is too small or too
remote if it will clean up, spruce up,
brace up, fire out the loafers and
knockers and croakers who are wont
to infest its most comfortable chairs
and be ready to supply what the au to
tourist traffic requires. -Bennington
