Effect of Environment.

The home, If it is to be an adequate
preparation for life in the outside
world, must have all the ingredients
OF the future represented and in due
proportion-privilege and duty, hard
ship and pleasure, discipline and re.
ward. 1t may be a great playhouse
with every day holiday and every
dish dainty. Short-sighted love de-
s1res chDd-life to be given every joy
and sheltered from every pang, That
home has probably the healthiest in
fiuence in which this is impossible, be-
cause wholesome type of poverty OBJ
trudes it's kindly discipline upon the
notice of every member Of the family.
A boy with daily "chores" has a bet
tr chance Of becoming a personality
than his little neighbor who accepts
without question the luscious fruits of
service without being compelled by
ever-recurrent necessity, laid upon
him by circumstances, to render re-
ciprocal service at the cost of genuine
eHort.-Bishop Brent in the Living

The New Library

Action should be taken by the town at
the coming town meeting regarding the
Lanpher Memorial Building. A building
committee will probably be elected and
the work of erecting the building taken
up this year.
In this connection we should say that
as far as we can learn public opinion
seems to be largely in favor of putting
the building on the school lot, south of
the scnool building, where Supt. Crosby
agricultural experiment station" was
located. Many arguments are used in
favor of this spot, among them that the
town owns the land and therefore a con-
siderable sum would be saved ia that di-
rection. Another is that Mr.. Lanpher
wanted the building placed where it
would be convenient for the school stu
dents.
Herbert G. Lanpher informs us that if
this location is not selected he will give a
good site for the building en- his land, re-
moving one of his poultry houses. This
surely would please his immediate neigh
bors.
Since the above was put in type sug-
geslion is made that the vacant space be-
tween Col. Sawyer's and w. N. Putnam's
would be good location. 1t sure would.

linen was of homespup.
The evening was spent in reading let
tiers and postals of congratulation to Mrs.
Fletcher, Robert Burdette's "Artless Pratt
tie of Childhood was recited and old
time songs were sung. The stories mat
were read and the toasts that were re-
spOnded to on this occasion will long be
remembered.
This was merry birthday party. The
little company of eight have been per-
mitted to live long lives of usefulness.
They are rich in their earthly possessions
of children, friends and home and are
looking forward with sweet content to
