Phi Beta Kappa Exercises

The public exercises of the Phi Beta
Kappa society of Middlebury college
held in the Mccullough gymnasium on
Friday evening, March 10, We're very
interesting and largely attended by an
appreciative audience After the mi
tiation ceremonies Prof. Myron r. San
ford, head of the Latin department,
who presided, introduced the speaker
of the evening, DR.. Talcott Williams,
director of the School of Journalism of
Columbia university, who delivered one
of his scholarly addresses on 1.-The Old
Learning and the New" in a wonder
fully effective manner.
DR.. Williams reviewed what the old
lea ming, especially the classical, has
contributed in giving to the world
master minds and leaders. He re-
minded his audience of the fact, that if
classical learning had diminished in our
schools, that the tendency now is to go
back to it with renewed fervor as it is
essentonal to mans education and life.
DR.. Williams fully indicated that it is
utterly impossible to cut the ties of the
old learning from the new. He wildly
pointed out that Greek and Latin Ian
guages and other tongues were a basis,
and fitting one, for the educated and
practica! man. The educator urged the
value of the classical tongues in educa-
ton, pointed out that since their study
diminished in our colleges, our national
literature had dwindled and no longer
produced poets, essayists or historians
read by the English speaking world.
''These tongues have been the basis of
our letters through all our literature,
he continued, "and very fortunately
their study grows and increases in our
high :. schools until the army of 5000
youth now studying Latin is the largest
number which has studied this tongue
in modern days in any land"
The members elected to receive the
honors were as follows: DIR. Vernon
C. Harrington, Middlebury, 81; Ebert
C. Cole, rs, of Orleans; Carroll W..
Dodge, Is, of Pawlet; Miss Mary Buck,
Is, of Watervile, Conn, and Miss
Fanny O. Gill, Is, of Springfield.

1.-THE NINETY AND NINE. >
0 the Middlebury Register:

10 the MlddleDury Register;
We were very glad to read the article
entitled Ninety and Nine" in last
weeks edition of the Middlebury Regis
ter, and we wish to thank the writer
for the interest shown in US.
There are many good people who
board us that are doing even more than
their duty and to these we wish to eX-
press our gratitude.
We non-residents are here for work,
as the writer of The Ninety and Nine"
has said, "a boy cannot work all the
time and not every girl will. " Truly
we may ask What then?'
What of the boy who boards with the
woman who says: Il prefer boys be-
cause they are only in the house to eat
and sleep" or of the girl whose board
ing mistress either expects her to act
with the discretion of sixty, or else feels
no responsibility for her whatever.
In the boys case, after his lessons
are prepared, he seeks amusement with
the Jolly crowd down on the street cor
ner, or else with few boys who are in
for a good time, but do not care what
constitutes it.
In the girls case, after she has pre-
pared her lessons, she goes out to a
friends and perhaps these girls are not
discreet. Too often she seeks com
panions and entertainments that are not
desirable. because she wants amuse-
ment, but has no one to advise her in
the choice of it.
We are glad that Parent Teacher
Association has been organized. We
quote from the second article of the
constitution of a Parent-Teacher Asso-
citation formed els ewhere. Its object
shall be to study the welfare of the
child in home, school, and community,
and create better mutual understand
ing between parents and teachers and
their cooperation in all work for the
interest of the children" We take this
to mean others children too
the members of the Parent Teachers
Association, to the School Board and to
all our friends how they may solve the
problem stated in the article, "The
Ninety and Nine.
l. Have two or more large houses
which may be used as boarding houses
for boys and others for girls. Have
these houses in charge of responsible
men for boys and motherly women fol

associate only with those of whom they
feel they approve.
2. Have only such women take board

In either case the young people SHOULD
have rooms where, to a reasonable de
gree, they could entertain friends. They
should be encouraged to meet at suit
able times in groups, the boys to play
games, discuss the sporting news anC
study, the girls to chat. sew and read
The latest hour should be named a
which they could be out with sucl
young people and at such entertain
ments as are approved of by these su
pervisors. Printed rules of conduct
should be given each boy and girl anC
these should be obeyed.
This plan is used with success il
larger educational centers than Middle
bury, and we hope it may aid in sug
gesting better one.

BELGIUM RELIEF.
FOOD For NON-COMBATANTS.

Gov. Gates appoints Vermont Com
mission Mrs. w. S. Burrage, Storrs
avenue, chairman for Addison county.
THE NEED.
All the -combatants of Belgium,
comprising six and one-half million
people, are facing starvation. The
country imports most of its food. This
years harvest was ruined. The con-
querors took most of the accumulated
supply of food and regular imports are
impossible. But for the food sent from
America by special permission of the
Germans the people would have become
extinct long ago through sheer starva-
ton.
THE KITS.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the food ex-
pert, has planned food kits that will
keep four persons alive two weeks.
This is at cost of a1out five cents a
person per day and furnishes about a
quarter of the average amount of food
consumed by one person where food is
abundant
How many people in Addison County
can easily save five cents a day from
unnecessary expenditure! Let US al
lend a hand So will provide kit OF
food for four adults for IA days. II

PLANS FOR GREEN
MOUNTAIN CIRCUIT
Important Change in Sequence of Dates
May Affect the Valley Fair of
Brattleboro.

BELLOWS FALLS, Nov. 17.-Several
matters of considerable Importance were
discussed at a meeting of the Green Noun
tain circuit held at the Hotel Windham
yesterday and as a result recommendations
were decided upon, one of the most i'm
portant of which is the probability of few
err stake or early closing events and more
substantial purses for these races. Those
at the meeting included William NOOnan
of Nergennes, superintendent of races OF
the Aiddlebury fair and the secretary of
this fair, F. c. Dyer: President T. NJ. Will
son and Secretary w. X. Farnsworth of
the Rutland Fair association; T. l.. Da-
! Wis, secretary of the state fair commission,
and President O. F. Benson and Secretary
! w. A. Shumway of the Valley Fair asso-
citation of Brattleboro.
A change in the sequence of dates was
recommended, changing Brattleboro and
White River Junction so the fairs would
come in the following order: Middlebury
Rutland, Brattleboro and White River
Junction; and an effort viii be made tC
have the Rochester, n H, fair follow, il
being figured that this would attract horse
men by the easy and short ships ending
with the Brocllton fair.
1t was also recommended that the state
races be lowered in number 1t is prob
able that Rutland will have two stalk,
races next year, = 30 trot and a > n
pace each for $1,000. The class races
closing just before the fair, will be TO
purses of $500 each.
