 The cult of the hour in Nome is now the willow wand. It is com ing into general use with many prospectors and is being used espe cially on Dexter with view of de- termining the paystreak. It has also led to number of discus. sions upon the pert of the willow wanders themselves and like as not a new sect may start a schism fol- lowing a later development. It ap- pears when locating paystreak two spots were indicated whereon to sink, and each time a saddle or reef of lime rock was encountered. One branch of the faith followers con- tend that the pay lies underneath this reef, while another contends that the lime rock attracts the will low. The various Gides are able to dissertate at length upon, their views, and endeavor to form con- verts to their theories of the willow wand. Of course even in sections where the willow belief generally obtains there are the skeptics who scoff at the theories as very idle and reject them in toto. But for all that, they are unable to break the faith of those who trust firmly in the magic of the crooked willow. Thomas Gaffney returned from an inspection of the new Dime creek camp and speaks encouragingly of the outlook for that mining district He says that the boys have only just started in to work having been delayed sinking by being compelled to build cabins and also to wait for their boilers and supplies being brought up from the coast to their ground Now everyone is working. MT. Gaffney asserts that the miners in Dime are the finest lot of men tackling that work anywhere in AL aska, all industrious workers and all energetically pursuing the work of prospecting for the yellow metal
 The miners hold regular meet ings having formed permanent or ganization of which Jens Madsen is chairman. They passed resolutions asking that recorder be appointed and mentioning Lars Gunderson as their choice, as MT. Gunders0n's past experience and general integri- ty has highly commended him to them as the most suitable appoint ment. They also passed resolution asking the Alaska Road Commission to build a seven mile road from Dime City to Discovery. They also passed resolutions looking towards the establishment of mail service with the camp. The men in Dime, says Gaffney, are just as intelligent and able men as one can meet any where and none but can learn from their very liberal discussions which are held at their meetings. The

EXAMINATIONS AND CERTIFI.
GATES.
Rutland News.

Rutland News.
/ Records of four leading colleges
were presented to the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Prepare
tory Schools few days ago, on the
question of college entrance tests. 1t
was found that those who had been ad-
mitted on examination were as a whole
better students than those entering on
certificate.
The traditional method of sitting
applicants for college entrance is by
examination. Many generations have
passed this dreaded ordeal. They
crammed with facts but might have
been so fiustered on the fateful day as
to lose their wits. Others noted dates
on their shirt cuffs, or struggled trans
lations. Self-possessed pupils with
meager attachments often made better
showing than those who had done
better work, but lacked confidence.
These defects in the "exam" system
have led good many colleges to sub
sttute the method of entrance on certi-
ficate. Pupils coming from certain APP
proved schools have been allowed to
enter on certificates from the lower
school that they had done the required
work. 1t looks fairer, the test being
based on their average work for long
period.
The report quoted above suggest Is
that the certificate method has also its
defects. There is a common tendency
among public school teachers to pass
pupils along from year to year, on the
ground that if set back, they become
discouraged and quit school. Thus every
class carries about so much dead wood.
Where teachers take that view, it be-
comes natural to pass the pupils along
the next step into college. In some
schools political or social influence may
be factor.
Perhaps the ideal way would be to
give equal weight to each kind of test.
Every applicant for entrance to college
might well be required to take an ex-
animation, but equal Importance should
be attached to his past record. A writ
ten test should place but little stress on
the remembering of mere facts. The
vital question is: Can the pupil express
himself we'll, and does he display gen
eral comprehension of the subject he
had taken?

DER VAULTING GREED.

''No one should oppose the proposed
restriction of the gayeties of New
Years eve in the large cities. There is
a certain proper and innocent gayety,
and there is also tendency to license
that ought to be restrained. The
slackening of hilarity and hilarity-
making at a. m. will hurt nobody. -
Rutland Herald
The Herald is right, but nevertheless
the Mayor of New York has decided
that hotels and saloons may remain open
until 3 a. m. 1t is such greed on the
part of liquor interests and such orgies
as take place in New York at New
Years that give power to the temper
ance movement by the disgust they
create in the minds of the fair minded.
Fortunately or unfortunately liquor
dealers in Vermont injure their cause
in the same way. If they would seek
to confne their trade to the communities
which vote forit, the sentiment against
them would not be so strong. Instead
they advertise liquors in papers which
circulate in no-license towns. The

Some of the Vermont papers have
printed an interview with Mr.. Charles
H. Thompson, promoter of the Middle
bury river power development, in which
he claims to have acquired additional
rights and to have made an offer of
81, 500 to the Battell Estate for their
holdings. The additional rights named
are the Aldrich and Columbus Smith
lots. Both of these were understood
by Prof. Boyce to be in possession of
Mr.. Thompson when he testified that
not over one-fifteenth of the necessary
rights had been acquired by the pro-
posed corporation. Mr.. Thompson does
not state that he has heard from his
offer of 81, 500.

that such a library should make a
specially of local history, especially of
its own town. Not only books, but old
manuscripts, copies of addresses, SER
mons, diaries, ledgers, and letters should
be carefully collected and kept. Some
of the most important local history is
preserved only in old family letters,
which time allows to be kept in a pub
lie repository, accessible to those who
have right to be interested in such
matters.
Will even venture to suggest that
you have special locked case for
books by Cornwall authors. In time it
would need to be of considerable size.
The place of honor might be given to
SHADES State Papers, next would come
Lyman Matthews History of Cornwall,
an excellent town history, of which the
town should be proud. Then you should
find the annual addresses and reports
of William Slade as Secretary of the
Board of National Popular Education,
several other works of LYMAN
Matthews, the poems of Gilbert C.
Lane, the Farewell Sermon of Father
Bushnell, the sermon preached at the
funeral of Reuben Post. the Shake
sperian lectures of Henry Norman Hud-
son, old Congregational Records with
the speeches of Solomon Foot, and if
you can get copy, Samuel Bartholo-
news poem, "Will Whiting, or the
Spoiled Child" Such a collection
would be constant lesson in patriotism
and valuable help to all future his
torians.
You will pardon this suggestion as
coming from an admirer of your town
and of its noble story. / congratulate
you that you have such worthy mem
orial of one of your founders, a shrine
for the kindling of the fires of patriot
ism for many years to come. Nav it be
spared many years to symbolic the
greatness of the past and to incite to
like manhood in the future, and NAV the
picture of it, framed in this peaceful
valley, kindle light of gracious peace

naming day of her life.

That Arthur F. Stone should be chosen

Mr.. Stone is not in the heavyweight
class But it is explained that the 20O-lb.
rule does not apply to editors and
ministers. who are admitted at catch

well-fed, though there are occasional ex-
ceptions among the editors like Harry
Parker, John Chase, Harry Whitehill,
Walter Bigelow and John Southwick.
These fellows are abnormalities, how
ever, and Stone or Belknap more nearly
typify the craft. The bars had to be let
down to admit any considerable number
of editors to the Fat Mems club. AS to

acquainted with them as we ought to
be, we recall few that tip the beam at

illness of Joseph A. DeBoer, the bril-

Ger of the throat and two operations
have failed to give him relief. The lit
tie waif who came from Holland, sold
newspapers on the streets of Albany
and worked his way through Dartmouth
college, arose by force of merit and
character to the head of the leading
fiduciary institution of the State. If
Mr.. DeBoer had been seeker for Of

public preferment he might long ago
have been governor of the State. He
has made a distinguished success in
life and at the same time has borne a
heavy burden of personal sorrow and
suffering.

In the death of j. Edwy Buttolph of
Middlebury, Addison County loses an
other of its truly worth while men.
Col. Battel and ex-Gov. Stewart, who
preceded Mr.. Buttolph to the great be-
yond, were interested in different lines
of action from that followed by the
latter. but Mr.. Buttolph's activities in
agricultural pursuits and his work of
supervising the construction of high
ways under the States direction
probably brought him in closer contact
with the present generation than did
the activities of his two distinguished
townsmen who, within the year, have
answered the last call.

careless. Safety first carelessness
