Vermont S Board of Education.



The new Vermont board of education
has a great opportunity; and If 1t takes
advantage of that opportunity, It can
do a grand work for the Green Noun
tain state. 1t can be a partisan body,
seeking to promote the interests OF
some one institution or institutions, or
it can set for itself a standard as
broad as our commonwealth and as
high as our rugged mountain heights.
AS they say IN the dramatic field, the
new board must create the part written
by the legislature. 1t can wreck its
bark on partisanship. We hope 1t viii
remain independent of every local in
'stitution, seeking to promote the IN
terests of all so far as consistent with
the cause of general education in Yer
mont as whole. If it does this, its
work viii be manifold blessing to
Vermont for generations to come. We
believe the members of the board are
big enough men to do this, and that
they will select an educational head
for our commonwealth who viii carry
out this broad and benefcent spirit OF
iprogress and development.

THE GROWING LOVE OF BIRDS.

That the love of birds and the de-
termination to protect them have in
creased in recent years as frequently
demonstrated, and without doubt this
is due to the teaching that has been
so persistently carried on by lovers Of
nature and lovers of birds, one of the
most beautiful and lovable products
Of nature. Newspapers, magazines,
school teachers and officials of organi-
cations for the proper protection OF all
dumb creatures have exerted them
selves for years in an effort to teach
the lesson that Kindness to these crea
lures not only brings liberal returns IN
happiness, but is profitable also in the
gross sense of materiahsm. the morse
that is well used renders better returns
to his owner than one that is abused.
The same is true of the COW and every
| domestic animal, and very certain ii is
that the garden that is frequented by
| birds is relieved by them of much insect
| and yermin population, to the great
material advantage of the owner.
The extent to which the love of
birds has grown, together with dis
position to do everything possible for
their welfare and protection, was
beautifully illustrated in a New Eng
land city few days ago. High up in
a tail tree in the dooryard of one OF
the pleasant homes in the city, whose
inmates take great delight IN their
bird friends, was discovered a robin
whose foot had become entangled IL
some strings and horse hair and had
probably been carried to the tree by
the birds Themselves 1t was hanging
head down ward, lluttering violently
and screaming with fright and pain
The family aad the neighbors found il
impossible TO rescue the bird, and tin
ally word was sent to the fire depart
mcnt, whose cheif in full sympathy
with the end in view, dispatched som,
Of his men with an aerial ladder ane
the robin was rescued and set at lib
erty.
This may seem like a small thing
but it was really great thing /
proved that the love of birds is no
confined to sentimentalists, put i
shared by hardy men whose duty it i
to grapplc with one of the very ster
realities Of life. The fire chief an,

emergency. insignificant as the eme1

A careful reading of the second note
to Germany makes Bryan S refusal to
sign it difficult of comprehension.
There is nothing III it that violates
the principles of any man 5 peace con
victions. 1t is more pacific than the
first note, which Bryan signed, al
though it reafiirms what was sad at
first. 1t seems to be mere friendly
than could have been expected, and
certainly much less drastic than the
public had right to expect when it
heard Of Bryan S preeipitate action. It
gives Germany ample assurance Of our
friendship, coupled with determine
ton that the slaughter of American
citizens on the seas where they have
an unquestioned right, shall not con
tinue.

When giving orange juice to an in
FAINT it should be strained and given
between feelings. 4 teaspoonful of
cool orange juice to a baby suffering
with swollen gums when teething is
most grateful Often a baby cries
when thirsty and should be given cold
water instead of another meal to over
load its little stomach.
Oranges are a cheap fruit, which is
another advantage, as they may be
used in the poorest homes. Orange fill
ing for chocolate layer cake is a
combination which is not well enough
known. 1t is especially tasty.
Orange Snow.-Peel and take off all
the fiber and white pulp. Separate in
to sections and mix two cupfuls of
freshly grated cocoanut with six or
anges, one cupful of pulverized sugar
and two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice.
Garnish with strips of candied orange
peel and serve in sherbet cups. Or
ange marmalade makes a nice sundae,
using a tablespoonful of marmalade on
| top of a sherbet glass of vanilla ice
cream.
Orange Sherbet.-Use pint of or.
! ange juice, a quarter of a cupful OF
lemon juice, sugar to sweeten and add
pint of cream. Freeze and serve in
| sherbet glasses garnished with can
| died peel or with orange marmalade
Another way of making this sherbet
is to use two lemons, two oranges, two
cupfuls of sugar and two cupfuls OF
| cream. Freeze and serve with a gar
nish of candied orange and lemon
| peel.
When serving oranges to invalids
all of the tough fiber should be re
moved, sprinkle with sugar and serve
in a pretty glass dish.

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa
1t is true that nature and woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs OF the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recogniz d
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for wcman's ills.

Mass, are files containing hundreds Of

Insurance Rates and State Board.
(Rutland Herald.)

(Rutland Herald.)
The Herald learns from an authori-
tative source that some of the casualty
companies which are bidding for the
business of Vermont manufactuI crS
under the workmen s compensation act
have doubled and in some cases treb-
led their rates. This is northumberland
ing the assertion of the Bennington
Banner that the new rates were par
ticularly favorable to the employers
of the state.
With the constructive defenses abol-
ished and the question of fault practi-
cally eliminated, the rates would nat
urally be higher than under the old
statutes, but the sure and certain re-
suit of boosting casualty rates in Yer
mont viii be the establishment of u
state fund, into which employers may
make contributions and from which
claims for injury may be paid-AT
COST.
The Herald was of the opinion that
this provision should have been incor-
porated in the original bill, as the ex-
| listing industrial board could handle
such a fund without much additional
cost, but the authors of the measure
/ feared to create too much machinery.
Perhaps they were right, but after
two years of paying casualty premiums
with the item of profit included, the
| employers of the state viii almost ceg-
| tainly demand the opportunity fol
paying their claims through state
board, already existent, instead OF
| through an insurance company.
1t is also true that firms like the
Howe Scale works, the Fstey Organ
company, the Boutwell,, Milne and Var
mum company, the railroads and othe
larger Vermont enterprises are just a
responsible as an insurance compan,
and should be SO recognized by tn
board should they desire to carry thei
own risks, either individually or as
mutual association.
The casualty people will merely XII

Municipal and State Debts Increasing.

The United States census office has
investigated the debts of states and
cities over a period of years, and an
nounces that these debts have increas-
ed 113 per cent in II years. This Is
much faster than the population has
increased and much faster than debts
have ever before increased. New
Hampshire is the only stare winch
showed no increase in debt in the last
ten years. Of course there will come
a time when debt increase will stop
and that viii be when the taxns
power of the state is exhausted. When
debt ceases to grow and declines there
will be far less employment. Money
will not circulate as freely, and VIZ
shall pay up by economies in persona
expenditures.

The men who are fighting in the Eu-
ropean war have far better chance
for their lives than our fathers had in
the Civil war. At Gettysburg the kill
ed of both armies numbered 1864, ana
the wounded 1926, according to of
fetal reports. Neither side at Gettys-
burg brought 100000 men into action,
and yet the total of killed and wound
ed, 32,SS0, is almost one-sixth as large
as that of the British killed and
wounded for ten months. The "cas-
