Joseph Lee, member of the Boston
school committee, in an open letter adj
vocates state control of the construc-
tion of school buildings. lie points out
that the Boston schoolhouse commits
sion has opposed such regulation. There
may be a difference of opinion regard
ing the ability of Boston to control its
own construction of schools, but the
fire tragedy at the st. John S parochial
school in Peabody showed that state
wide attention to the matter is needed
to a greater extent than has been
realized. The state officials explained
the lack of suitable fire escapes at Pea
body on the ground that they had 10
jurisdiction, the question Of The in
stallation of proper safeguards resting
wholly with the local authorities.

Another Vermont postmaster has
been arrested and it is the same old
story-his offense is purely technical
Mr.. Spaulding of Bridgewater "bor-
rowed" some of the postof1ice receipts,
intending to put the money back the
next morning. Along came a postofiice
inspector who found a small shortage.
The result was the arrest of the post
master, who furnished bail in the sum
of 5000 for appearance i'll the United
States court. So many eases of this
kind have occurred that it seems
strange that any postmaster today
would borrow from the government
funds even for a short period. The
government is very exacting in such
matters and when even a small short
age is found the case cannot be settled
simply by restitution

Admirers of the breed of horses for
which Vermont is famous will be in
terested and pleased to know of the
outcome of a competition held at the
New York horse show this week. In
special class, made up with a view TO
encouraging the establishment of a
type suitable for cavalry mounts, the
first prize was awarded to a bay geld
ing, the progeny of a thoroughbred
stallion and a Morgan mare, this com
bination of blood winning over pure
thoroughbreds and thoroughbred stand
ard bred combinations. The judges
who made the decision doubtless took
into consideration both the courage of
the thoroughbred and the endurance of
the Morgan type.

TRIBUTE TO THE HORSE.
Worthy to Be Placed Alongside sena-
tor Vests Eulogy of Dog.

We don t know who wrote this toast
to the horse, but it is a good one and
worthy of being placed besides Senator
vest famous eulogy on the dog:
Here S tic that bundle of sentient
nerves, with the heart of a woman, the
eve of a gazelle, the courage of glad
lator, the docility of slave. the proud
carriage of a king and the blind obedi-
enee of soldier; the companion of the
desert plain, that turns the moist fur
rows IN the spring in order that all the
world may have abundant harvest; that
furnishes the sport of kings, that with
blazing eye and distended nostril fear
lessly leads our greatest generals
through carnage and renown, whose
blood forms one of the ingredients that
go to make the ink in which all history
is written, and who finally, in black
trappings, pulls the proudest and the
humblest of us to the newly sodded
threshold of eternity

The Deer Season.
{ Rutland Herald.)

Whatever may be the faults of the
gentleman from Peru, Marsh j Hap
good, citizen, is recognized as a true
friend of the wild animals of Vermont.
particularly of the deer, which. this
year, are likely to be slaughtered in
numbers far surprising former seasons
and under conditions that will put a
severe strain on the humanity of hunt
ers and lovers of the gentle creatures.
Deer may be taken this year from
. o clock Monday morning, November
10, to o clock in the evening of Sat
urday, December t, all Sundays being
barred and the only restriction being
made in behalf of spotted fawns. This
means that hunters will fire at am
moving animal in the woods, of deer
size and appearance, and the percentage
OF faWns left to starve by being or
phaned or to die of careless wounds. oil
bucks and does wounded and dismem-
bered, of domestic animals shot by mis-
take, or human beings killed by acct
dent, is certain to be large.
Hapgood makes an offer to receive
and care for motherless fawns and
wounded deer on his preserves in Peru.
and the suggestion recalls the fact that
game wardens have a duty in the mat
ter as well. 1t should certainly be their
duty to relieve needless suffering of
wounded deer, care for helpless young
and generally prevent the recurrence
of such scenes of inhumanity as have
marked past deer seasons.
Hunters who have any regard for the
dumb agony of wounded deer will do
we'll to remember these conditions, and
while there is no expectation that they
will withhold their fire, it is certainly
not too much to expect that they will
do a workmanlike job of butehering
these timid creatures of the hills and
forests and be sure enough of their OBJ
jeet so that the narrowing scenes OF
past years will not be re-enacted.
AS the game warden put it, this is
cleanup year, the open season on
both bucks and does having been es
tablished in response to a considerable
public pressure, urged mostly by
farmers and orchardists who declare
that the deer had increased inordi
nately and constituted menace to ag
riculture.
Without re-opening that question
the Herald most earnestly urges upor
all deer-shooters this year unusual eau
ton and such a degree of humanity a:
the best consideration of decency must
suggest.

The automobile trip of the prosper
Gus citizens of Bellows and Benning-
ton, together with those of Brattle-
boro over portion of the road be
tween Brattleboro and Bennington Is
bearing fruit in an increased sense of
the needs and possibilities OF a first
class road across the southern part of
the state. One of the unexpected re-
suits is the generous offer of Hosea
Mann of Worcester to donate a hun
dred dollars toward a good road be
tween Wilmington and Raponda, a
summer resort near Wilmington and
a thousand dollars toward the project
of permanent roadway between Bli-
nington and Brattleboro. This ought to
afford adequate encouragement to the
local interests to go ahead and, with
the regulation aid promised by the
state, construct such a road bed as will
be never-ceasing delight for all kinds
of travellers

The story of Vermont farmer who
has prospered without resort to freak
stunts of agriculture is one of the
features of the current issue of
the Country Gentleman. Elmer f. Hill
of South Hero is the subject of the ar
ticlc, which tells Interestingly OF his
success in raising apples, beans and
bees. az well as ginseng and calves.
What Mr.. Hill has accomplished on a
comparatively small Vermont farm Is
probably no more than what scores of
other intelligent agriculturists in the
state have succeeded in doing, but the
publicity which his work receives
through medium like the Country
Gentleman is bound to be a stimulus to
the state s farming interests.

Interesting observations on the Eu-
ropean war situation are made by Fred
erick Palmer, the well-known cor
who has just returned
from abroad. He says that Miss Cav
ell s execution has done more to
cement the alliance between France
and England than all the speeches of
statesmen and conferences of generals
and that it has a stimulating effect on
British recruiting. Mr.. Palmer claims
that the British are spreading all their
bad news broadcast in an effort to
arouse public sentiment, while the Ger
mans are suppressing every bit of theirs.
year ago, says Mr.. Palmer, the Ger
mans on the western front were firing
five shells to the British one, but now
the British are firing more shells than
their opponents. Mr.. Palmer is of the
opinion that the war will not end un-
til Great Britain has put in action

Foresight is the faculty of looking
several hundred yards into the future
and telling how far the price of town
lots will jump. 1t is one of the nOblest
attributes of mankind, and has made it
possible for man who formerly
couldn t get credit for two pounds of
soda crackers to join the country club
and lie around for hours at time in a
pair of Scotch knee pants.
Some of the easiest money ever
made in this country was the result of
foresight which enabled its possessors
to buy up several townships of land at
80 cents an acre and hold on until a
railroad poked its nose through it. In
the middle west great fortunes have
been made by merely sitting down on
half section of clay subsoil and wait
ing until somebody from the east comes
along and offers the price of an ar
mored cruiser for it. This is one rea-
son why the farmers in the corn belt
are not buying anything with a wheel
base shorter than 124 inches and a
motor with more cylinders than talk
ing machine.
In recent years foresight has done
more to develop the oil fields of the
southwest than money. 1t is a great
gift to be able to sit in swivel chair
on the ninth floor Of an Oklahoma office

The department of public instruction
in New Hampshire is now preparing
the allowances of the teachers who have
been awarded pensions under the pro-
visions of the act of the last session
of the legislature. Thus far 46 teach
ers in various parts of the state have
been placed on the pension list and on
Nov. 80, their first quarterly remittance
from the state under the act will be
sent out to them. The law became eff
fective Sept. l. The teachers are given
so per cent of their salary for the last
five years of service. The effect of the
law in keeping good teachers from
leaving the state is noticeable already,
as several have declined offers carry
ing larger salary from Massachusetts
schools, because they would lose their
pension possibility by leaving the state.

This study of the gang spirit in boys
is written by an experienced worker
among boys and its purpose is to show
that a boy must have not only com

which to realize himself, and that in
the group activities of boys are cult
waited the great fundamental virtues,
cooperation, self-sacriice and loyalty
Among the points discussed are the
the general nature of the gang, prim-
tive impulses, tribal instincts, preda-
tory impulses, and the special virtues of
the gang.
