superlnte ndent stone.

| Supt. Stone was the pioneer in the
movement to improve the rural
| schools of the State and to make the
| education of the boys and girls there
7 in for the life they must necessarily
live He also was the first agitator
of a more equitable distribution OF
State funds among the common
schools and a reduction of the pro
portion of State funds that have been
going to the institutions of higher
learning The unsatisfactory work
of the State normal schools has also
been given fearless publicity by him.
In advocating so much that was new
and opposed to the ideas of the educa-
tidnal profession Supt. Stone has
made many enemies caused many
jealousies and received very liberal
criticism. TO these opponents the re-
tirement of Supt Stone will be very
satisfactory. But in the ranks of the
common people, the real friends of
useful education, thousands will look
upon his retirement as the loss of
good friend and loyal supporter
The attitude of the State board of
education to Mr. Stone is OF interest
and apparently is expressed by the
editor of the Orleans Monitor. who is
a member OF the board. He said;
Although able, conscientious and
industrious, Mr.. Stone, because of the
system, had become aligned for or
against policies, men and measures
which kept things in constant tur-
moil. Many men OF influence and
many educators in the State have be-
come aligned with one faction or an
other, and the instant legislation was
attempted all sides saw things"
The situation was unpleasant and
contributed little to advance along
broad, constructive and fixed educa-
tional lines. SO we repeat Mr..
Stones resignation, strong man that
he is, comes at an opportune time
and clears the situation for concen-
trated action, it is hoped A new
man will come into the field another
simmer, one who should be free from
entanglements, man able to COM
mand the respect and attention OF all
a man who knows his place and job"
The commission seems to have over
looked one fact-that Supt Stone die
not represent all the politics in tho
educational field. Supt Stone has
had to combat politicians among the
would be educational leaders" every
minute. The worst that can be said
OF Supt Stone in this respect is that
he was able TO win. His retiremen,
is something of victory for those
who have not been able to match him
in the past. So we fear that the hope
of the commission that they have
eliminated politics from education to
Vermont will not be fully realized.
1t is barely possible they will find
they have elevated inferior politicians
to power. However we hope this
will not be the case and that the com
mission will be able to put a man in
at the head of the department of
education who will work faithfully
and effectively for the best inter.
ests of education in Vermont.-S

LAWYER Government.

The Messenger does not share the
prejudice of some Of its contemporary
les against the lawyer cless. but II
does believe that there is ground for
concern in the way the government
Is handed over to men OF that class.
IL does not attribute this state OF af-
fairs to the lawyers themselves, but
rather to the system that has develop
ed as the natural result of the fail
ure here in America to make any
sort OF a career out of public service.
II anyone will take the trouble to
run over the office holders in his own
town and county he will be struck by
the number of lawyers in the list.
There may be exceptions here and
there, but they simply tend to prove
the rule. The lawyer isn't to blame;
he has as much right to hold office as
anyone else. 1t is the system that is
at fault
Prof. Richard T. Ely declares; Our
present system gives us a government
of lawyers to an extent known in no
other civilized land and very largely
government of second and third
rate lawyers. Lawyers can best take
up and lay down public office. but
even lawyers of the first rank take of
fee at personal loss"
Who will denie that there is not n
considerable amount of truth in this

himself what he would do if he were

DramatIsts' Works Published,

Foreign plays, the work of Dumas
Ibsen, SCdermaIn and many others,
were oouainable both in the original
and in translation twenty years ago,
but the play in the English language
was practically a forbidden book.
Dramatists, publishers and readers
whose tongue was English apparently
thought that the place of the drama
was the theater, and that to act it and
see it acted was the sum total Of it's
existence. To make book of mod
ern play was in the last years of the
nineteenth century an unheard-of-
thing. With the advent of Ibsen as a
world power in the theater came the
change. The controversy raging over
the Norwegian's head demanded the
printing and the reading of his plays
in English. Then Bernard Shaw's
plays were published before they were
acted; Oscar Wilde's appeared almost
simultaneously before reader and
theater audience. Pinero's and Henry
Arthur Jones' came from the press
after they saw the footlights. One
after another dramatist followed.

Each Man to His own Work

There is an opinion altogether too
broadcast that some work is delight
full and lovable and some work not
so. A certain great philosopher tells
an amusing tale of himself. AS he
sat in his study working he looked
out of the window and saw man
breaking up stones in the pavement.
Hour after hour, as the philosopher
set down words on the paper, the man
outside in the street continued to
ply his pickax. The philosopher felt
so sorry for the man that finally he
could stand it no longer and he has
tened out to him and accosted him.
What do you think of all day as you
keep on hour after hour breaking
stones?" The man stood up, rested
his pickax against his hip, spat on his
hands and rubbed them together, with
a broad grin, and replied: "Breakin'
stones" and lifted his pick again. The
philosopher withdrew to his study a
happier and wiser man, knowing that
each man gravitates naturally to the
work he enjoys thinking about.-De-
lineator.

Banana Meal industry.

The manufacture of banana meal or
flour as a regular industry promises
to be an effect of the war realized in
Jamaica. The diminished sales of
bananas have led to careful expert
ments, and a consular report states
that in one of these SGT pounds of
fruit yielded 1873 pounds of -four, the
cost being low enough to make selling
at four cents pound very profitable.
Mixed with wheat flour, the banana
meal makes satisfactory and nutri-
tious bread and cakes that housewives
are urged to try. For bread the ma
terial may be equal to or somewhat
less than the wheat -four, and for
plain cake or gingerbread the banana
meal may be substituted entirely for
other flour, the other ingredients be-
ing added.

MIGHTY POWER OF LOVE
Great Truth in Words Which Emer-
son Is Put on Record as
Having Spoken.

1t was Emerson who said, IAN &C
ceptance of the sentiment of love
throughout Christendom for season
would bring the felon and the outcast
to our side in tears, with the devotion
of his faculties to our service. Love
would put new face on this weary
old world, in which we dwell as pa
gans and enemies too long, and it
would warm the heart to see how fast
the vain diplomacy of statesmen, the
impotence of armies and navies and
lines of defense, would be superseded
by this unarmed child" Alas that
the sentiment has not been accepted,
but instead the world and the indi-
vidual have been laying their plans.
and directing their action, by calcu-
lation of chances which, of course,
can be no bigger than the human
mind that does the calculating. That
love has not been tried is proved
by the collapse of commercial civil
zation, but the things of commerce
and Of calculation perish, while the
sentiment Of love endures, because it
is of God, and being of Cod, is sure
in the end to triumph.-Universalist

DELUGE BEFORE THE FALL
Recent Discoveries Throw a New
Light on Things of History Long
Thought Revealed.

According to translation of a re-
Gently deciphered inscription on one
OF the Sumerian tablets, Professor
Langdon OF Jesus college, Oxford says
the deluge preceded the fall of man.
The tablet which has been almost
completely restored, contains six finely
written columns Of about 24O lines,
most OF which are intact.
1t begins by describing the land of
pr1meval bliss, which it locates at Dill
mum, an island in the Persian gulf. "In
this paradise dwelt mankind. whom
Nintud, the creatress, with the help
OF EMIL had created" says Professor
Langdon. After the deluge this king
is called Tagtug, the Divine. And this
Tagtug lives in garden, is himself a
gardener, and the wise Enki reveals
unto him wisdom.
The Greek historians, too, preserve
this legend in the story of Cannes,
who rose from the Persian gulf to
teach men wisdom in primeval times.
And so Tagtug, as in the Hebrew his
way VI 4NOou, plduIS q SdIuCl, uduCo
the trees and plants, and is permitted
to eat of all but the cassia tree, an
herb Of healing par excellence. OF
this plant Tagtug was not to eat, for
thereby he would attain eternal life.
Mankind until this time possessed
extreme longevity, but not immortal
ity. Tagtug, on his own initiative,
takes and eats. He is cursed by Min
tud and becomes prey to disease and
ordinary mortality.
"Thus in the original Sumerian story
Noah, the survivor of the flood, is the
one who eats from the tree Of life.
No woman is concerned in this disobe-
dience, which resulted in our loss of
perfect health, peace and countless
years."
