NEW SCHOOL LAW.
Rrnttlehoro Reformer.

The new school law provides that
pupils cannot enter the public schools
before they reach the age of six, unless
they are to reach that age prior to
January LIST, when they may enter at
the beginning of the fall term The
general law fixes six years at the be-
ginning of the legal school age. The
new act is somewhat indefinite, bat the
Randolph Herald, whose editor is a
member of the State board of education,
says that body is of the opinion that if
a pupil becomes six after January LIST he
may be admitted to the schools by per-
mission of the superintendent, who will
doubtless be ruled largely by the con-
venience of forming new entry classes
in mid-year

PERCIVAL WILDS, ESQ.
Morrisville Messenger.

The election of Percival Wilds, Esq,
of New York, son of the famous
lawyer, G. NJ. Wilds, as one of the
trustees of Middlebury College, is a
fitting recognition of one of the
brightest young lawyers the State has
produced His work, during college
vacations for the C. V. Railroad proved
him young man of great ability and he
was offered a very responsible position
by that company if he would continue
with them after graduation, with sure
and rapid promotion. He declined, to
continue his law studies, and carry out
his fathers wishes to become a lawyer.

STATE MARKET AGENT, "
Barre Times

BARRE Times,
There is abundant work for that new
State market agent" to assist Yer
mont producers to get a better market
for their products, We can raise a
great quantity of farm products but we
are somewhat deficient on the business
end of disposing of the products A
little instruction along that line would
be tremendous help to Vermont
farmers inasmuch as it would enable
them to sell their goods more readily
and to secure larger prices. Providing
the new official is adapted to his work,
we expect to note great development
along this line for Vermont.

A "HARSH" SENTENCE,
Brattleboro Reformer

nfhllfHolu lN'lNlNl'A'
In New York the other day woman
pleaded guilty to the charge of de-
fraudng the government of more than
$500 in duties on goods brought from
abroad and was sentenced to ten days
in Jail. The Judge said he regretted to
impose "harsh" sentence, but 1t was
necessary to put a stop to smuggling
merchandise in this manner. Very few
aside from the judge and the defendant
will consider ten days harsh for such
an offence. If some poor cuss had
swiped ham at corner market and
been caught he would have been given
a sitter sentence without an apology.

COPPER MINING IN VERMONT

COPPER MlNlNG lin NEhMON l.
Brattleboro Reformer.
The high price of copper may mean
a revival of this branch of the mining
industry in Vermont. The product is
now selling for 20 odd cents pound
with the prediction that the rate may go
to 40 cents. At one time the copper
mines in Vershire gave employment to
hundreds of hands, but the mines there
were abandoned years ago and attempts
to pump them out and to start mining
on a large scale again have failed.
There are copper deposits in COrinth,
Stafford and other towns in Orange
county, and at the present time force
of 100 men are working in day and night
shifts in Corinth. With copper at the
present price the metal can undoubtedly
be taken from Vermont mines profit

LEARNING TO SPELL.

Barre Times,
And old fashioned spelling match in
which students in Rutland high school
participated attracted an audience of 400
people, who.thoroughly enjoyed the re-
vival Of the old time entertainment,
There is no doubt Of the value of such an
entertainment, both to the people who
listen and to the people who wrestle with
the words, Quite general resort to that
form of entertainment would go far
toward bolstering up the spelling abili-
ties Of the general public at time when
ability is at woefuly low ebb, For
wears, business men and managers of
Offices have complained Of the wretched
spelling perpetrated by the stenograph'
ers who secure employment with them,
A great deal of the fault is due to in
attention to this detail of instruction;
there has been too much striving to gain
proficiency in the more mechanical work
involved in commercial courses, at the
expense of the development of the sense
of observation as to proper arrangement
of letters in word construction. The re-
vival of the old fashioned spelling match
in which all the students participate will
have tendency to correct the fault.
For that reason, the example furnished
by the Rutland school is worth follow
ing everywhere, not alone in high schools
but in the graded schools and the schools
in the small towns

ENTERPRISING FRUIT RAISER.

C. l.. Witherell of Middlebury, owner
of the Belmont Farm orchards" is
one of the Vermont apple growers who
is evidently up to date and making the
most of his opportunities. 1t seems that
he is packing his apples, which are eX-
ira fine fruit-but just such fruit as any
other Vermont orchard man could pro-
duce-in most attractive way. He is
wrapping each apple neatly in tissue
paper and shipping them in boxes just
as western growers put up their apples
and citrus fruits. AS consequence, by
means of advertising and solicitation,
he is delivering his product in the cities
at fancy prices Mr.. Witherell is get
ting three dollars, delivered, for what is
called bushel box of first grade apples,
and what he is doing any other progress

THE SALOON A SCHOOL OF VICE
Bellows Falls Times.

Bellows Falls Times.
The saloon is school, school in
vice. Its financial returns, its very life
depend on developing each year new
crop of drinkers. The new crop is large
" recruited from the boys. Among any
considerable number of drinkers, some
are sure to become drunkards, abusers
of their families and ultimately objects
of charity. The benefits of the saloon
are nil and its curse is widespread. Why
legaize such an institution?
Once a week for several weeks a con-
tribution has reached the Times office,
sent out by the publicity department of
the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers
association. The purpose of the contrbu-
tions is to influence sentiment against
State prohibition. Presumably these con-
tributions are being sent to every news
paper office in the State. They effectu-
ally do away with the argument that
Just as much liquor is sold under pro-
hibton as under local-option. The
National Wholesale Liquor Dealers as
ISOLATION is in position to know what
systemis best for its business. 1t doesn't
hesitate to say that it prefers local
option to prohibition in Vermont.
