1t is rather surprising to read that
the trustees of the Randolph agricul-
tural school consider in their annual
report a proposal to discontinue the in
stitution, which is owned by the state.
At first glance this looks like a back
ward step, but little consideration
presents the move i'll the light of sound
public policy. The Randolph school if
continued will require an expenditure
of $4,000 for new dormitory and other
needs and the demand for maintenance
is expected to be $4,000 a year. The
Theodore \. Vail agricultural school
and farm at Lyndon Center, where the
plant is valued at approximately $780,
geo, will need $50, 900 for the remodel
ling of buildings when the main resi-
dence is turned over to the state, and
the cost of maintenance there is esti-
mated at 100000 a year. The property
at Randolph shows valuation of
about $4,000, but il can be given up
at an expense Of only a few thousand
dollars. The maximum attendance at
Randolph the past year was rs and at
the Vail school SO. From a careful
reading of the report of the trustees
The Reformer is convinced that it
would be advisable both from the
standpoint of efficiency and economy to
concentrate the expenditures of the
states money for the education of
young men in agriculture in one strong,
woll-couipped school, and in every re
sreet the Vail school has ADVANTAGES
over the one at Randolph

The growth of the Christmas savings
club has been one of the surprising
developments III financial affairs in the
past few years. The distribution
put $70,000,000 into the hands of peo-
pie Of small means land large part of
it will 60 into immediate circulation in
the cities where enterprising banking
institutions have established the plan.
The amount distributed by Christmas
clubs of New York state is estimated
$l2, 600, and that by the New Jer-
sey clubs at $10,000,00O. 1t is a singu-
lar fact that the total for New York
city is only about $4,000, owing to
the larger banks of the Metropolis fail
ing to interest themselves in the plan.
There IS no question that this device
brings much money into the bank that
could not be reached by the check or
ordinary savings systems. 1t also en-
ables thousands of persons to provide
for their Christmas wants in q manner
that relieves the pinch too often i'm
posed upon the buyer on that occasion.
This practice, moreover, tends to in
crease the volume of Christmas trade
and encourages buyers to shop early
as the distributions are made a week
OF two before Christmas. Still. fur.
Their, the value of the system is en-.
HANGED by the encouragement given
many persons to save their money
and become regular patrons of banking
institutions. 1t is TO be hoped that this
plan will continue in vogue

The Germans hate the Britons with
greater intensity than any of their 9th
er foes. They know that but for the
British army they would long ago have
dominated not only Paris and France
hut all of continental Europe The
British cannot accept any terms of
peace settlement except those that
assure lasting peace. France alone
could never cope with Germany, and a
settlement at this time would mean that
the Germans would be holding a naked
sword at all times over the head of
their hereditary enemy, and that it
would drop some day when powerful
allies were not ready to give the French
soldiers assistance. Russia has more to
gain and less to lose than any of the
big nations at war. Lithuania and
Poland have been overrun and to a
great extent devastated by the invad-
ers. The terms Of which Germany pro-
poses. so far as indicated, call for the

WINTER WRENS.

"The Winter Wren," said Daddy, us
really with us in the Summertime too.
But then he is off by himself and has
nothing to do with Grown-Ups. For
he is Shy and does not dare come too
near.
''He has the most beautiful little
Voice, and often we can hear his
Lovely Notes and the Wonderful Music
he gives and still be quite unable to
see him.
But now and again we can get a
glimpse of him on some tall piece Of
Grass, or some low Bush bending back
and forth with the Wind, Singing all
the time. He is very small, and his
Tail is long and comes out Straight
behind him. Often he Perches on a
Branch so that his Tail is above his
Head,
Now the other day he was sitting
on Snow-Berry Bush"
"What is a Snow-Berry Bush -
asked Nancy.
"A Snow-Berry Bush,' said Daddy,
lis very full ana leafy Bush. In
the Spring and Summer it has tiny
pink Blossoms-SO small as hardly to
be seen, but as soon as the Autumn
comes the Blossoms turn into little
round strawberries. The whole Bush
becomes full of them and looks almost
as though it We're always covered with
snow.
Another little Wren was with him.
It's getting Cold said the Wren to
his small Companion.
Ives, We'll have to move near some

The long distance telephone is a
wonderful invention which enables a
man to throw his voice o er land and
sea at so much per throw.
Before the long distance telephone
was invented it was almost impossible
for a man to hurl his voice very far
from home. Nobody but campaign
spellbinder or a Chautauqua lecturer
could carry on a conversation with alb
sent loved ones, situated in the next
county but one. This compelled people
to use the abrupt, Unconditional telegram
or write long letters which were sent
to the wrong town and opened by mis-
take, after which their contents were
devoured by total strangers. Then
somebody discovered the rural tele-
phone, which is such a source of com
fort and inspiration on rainy days, and
from that humble beginning sprang the
long distance conversation, with stop
watch accompaniment
Whenever a man wants to talk face
to face with somebody who lives in an
adjoining state he calls up long distance

Nolced young woman who informs
him that she viii get his party
just as soon as a wholesale fruit
drummer gets through quoting
the price of head lettuce and XXX
coffee. A long distance converse
tlon is never interrupted until an oblig-
ing operator in another part of the state
gives the line to somebody else or both
parties hear the harsh, unfeeling ac-
cents Of the toll girl counting overtime
at the rate of IS cents per minute.
The long distance telephone would be
much more popular than it is if it could
be rented by the hour without having
to pay the operating expenses of the en-
tire line in doing so.
Some wonderful feats of eloeution
have been performed with the aid of
long distance, such as talking from
coast 10 coast. In private practice.
however, these feats are not practical.
as most people lack both the lung power
and ready money TO make themselves
j heard distinctly.

Education Out Of College.
(Keene, n. H., Sentinel.1

\heeuc, y. H., sentinel
Every now and then somebody calls
attention to the successful and even
great men who missed a college educa-
ton. 1t might be fairer to saw that
they missed college and got education
somehow outside. 1t is trite defni
ton of education that it is the process
of drawing out the inherent and maybe
latent capacity of the person who goes
THROUGH the mill. But all material is
not alike, and often subject does not
respond to the colle9e method and needs
world contact, foil, action, even oppo-
sition, to draw out the best in his or
her nature. Many enter college because
1t has the reputation of drawing out
and discover, with sadness, that its APP
peal finds their soil barren. They want
to be led, to be shown, to be stimulated

help, turn to the world for a rasp, for

grade cattle are sold at various auc-
tons held about the state for $1,000
or more, the grangers practically re-
quest gross differentiation Of such
fancy stock in order to escape their
fair share Of the public tax burden.
But there is another side to this shield.
The breeding of better cattle should
be encouraged in Vermont, and any
thing within reason to encourage that
development should meet the approval
of the non-eattle raising taxpayers.
The state organization advocates CO.
operation with the New England Milk
Producers association. This NAV be
criticised on the ground that it is open
advocacy of illegal combinations in the
restraint of trade. Technically. that
is probably true. The milk producers
of Vermont or New England when they
combine to raise the prices and to regu-
late the distribution of milk are Just
as much violators Of law, in principle,
as are the producers of oil, coal, paper
or other necessities when they "co-op-
crate to regulate the output and fix
prices.
But, on the contrary, it can be shown
that the milk producers of Vermont,
operating singly and alone, are unable
t, to cope in business with the companies
distributing the milk in the cities and
that the only way to secure living
prices is by cooperation, which of
course is synonymous with combina-
tion.
This all shows, of course, that in our
legislation there should be a differen-
tiation between trusts and combinations
that are legitimate in their project and
scope and those that are illegitimate
"nd Uninst to the people at large But,
largely through the influence of the farm
ers, the legislation, both state and
federal has not made any such discrim-
nation. SO it may be just as well adj
mitted frankly that the farmers of Yer
mont are advocating and are practic-
ing combinations that are illegal
Incidentally, let II be said again,
that the Vermont Grange, Patrons of
Husbandry, is a great, progressive force
IN agriculture. Through its agency bet
ter farming methods are gradually be-
! inr adonted everywhere, and a higher
+ standard of general education is being
reached. It is an organization that has

they will so through little sheet Of

tiny Wrens are brought forth from
their Messy Nests. the first Lesson
they have is of Bathing in some nearby
Brook.
But this day when Mr.. Brown Wren
and his little Companion were sitting
on the SnowBerry Bush it was very
early in the morning. The Bush WAS
covered with fresh Dew-Drops, and tie
two Wrens were Delighted.

the chance whispered Mr. Brown
Wren.

''And then those two little Brown
Wrens took the Dew-Drops in their
Beaks. and dropped each one in turn
on their Feathers. Then they got I'M
der some Leaves full of Dew-Drops,
and shook them over their little Feath-
cred Bodies.
After they were well covered with
the Dew-Drops they began to shake all
over just as every Bird does when
he takes Bath. And back they went
to take another Bath when this one
was over. For they seemed to Enjoy
their last warm Bath so much,
FINALLY they had Bathed enough,
and Mr.. Sun appeared, shining hard.
''They perched on the Branches of
the Snow-Berry Bush, and Bathed in
the hot Sun. Soon their little Feath-
ers were quite dry. And then they be-
gan to Sing.
1T was almc0 their last real Song,
for they didn't care to sing when it
was so cold. As they were singing
some other Wrens flew over to the
SnowBerry Bush.
Has there been Snow-Storm? 2
they asked. 1T doesn't seem to be so
cold
No, said Mr.. Brown Wren, this
