tering the inner tube and allowing the
air to retire to some spot where it will
not be of any assistance whatever.
Punctures can be cured at about half
the cost of the original tire. but a blow
out is usually fatal to everybody but
the garage proprietor.
Pneumatic tires are generally guar
anteed for 5000 miles when driven by
people who prefer to ride on the road
bed. Automobile owners with abund-
ant means usually carry an extra tire
on a rim in the rear. This is done so
that in case of a punCture there will
be nothing to do but to remove the
cover from the spare tire unclamp four
bolts and wriggle it out of the tire car
rier, jack up the car in a sitting pos
ture, unclamp four more bolts, take
off the wheel, tear down the differen-
tial, hammer the old rim into submits
sion with a sledge and drive on the
new one with an axe. When this is
done on a hot day by a stout citizen,
surrounded by several admiring rela-
tives, it is a very pleasing operation.
The pneumatic tire is cheaper, bet,
ter and less brittle than ii used to be,
and if the price continues to decline
it will take its place as a household
necessity, along with the five-foot bath
tub and electric curling iron.

EDUCATION AT LARGE,

To the editor of the Register
A movement is going on in scores Of
cities to educate the foreign element
Whether the immigrant stream is to
lessen in future on account Of the
European war, as some believe, or
otherwise, the problem remains vital
one. On the other hand If our foreign
population has nearly reached its limit
the prospects, one to stimulate hope that
the task may be accomplished. With a
million newcomers added every year
but little impression could be made on
the mass. With only couple of hundred
thousand to assmilate' each year the
task would not be so difficult. 1t is the
experience of many who have tried 1t
that very little Roadway can be made
in teaching grown up foreigners new
language and new modes of thought.
When the young are anxious to qualify
on the American standard, the elders
are reluctant to confess ignorance and
inability to go at lessons like children
If adults cease to come in streams,
there will be better chance to bring
the growing generation into shape by
the time they reach manhood and
womanhood. The pride of adult
foreigners in seeing their offspring
American2ed is helpful and can usually
be counted upon. So it is common
sense for education, for teacher and
phianthropist to follow the line OF
least resistance and consecrate effort
as far as possible upon promising
material.

1t is a splendid idea and should be
emulated in other towns, The people
in every community are altogether too
little acquainted with their educational
system and a more intimate knowledge
of It would be mutually helpful to them
and to the teachers, Under ordinary
conditions, perhaps, residents do not
feel that they would be welcome at
their schools, fearing that their visits
would be an interruption to the routine
work, While there is no danger OF this,
at the same time stated periods for such
visitations, of which they are advised,
would be an improvement

VERMONT MAPLE SUGAR,
st. Johnsbury Californian,

The annual report Of the commits
sioner of agriculture of Vermont
shows that in the year 1915 there were
5,294, 1888 sugar naples tapped and
1910, 1874 pounds Of sugar and 6O5,
1903 gallons of syrup produced in YER
mont. Figuring the sugar at ten cents
a pound and the syrup at one dollar a
gallon 1--WE think these figures are low
the total value of the product was ST.
1856, 526, practically twenty-six cents
per tree tapped. There were also A.
72l, 1877 maple trees available that were
not tapped in the State, This shows
that the maple sugar production of the
State might be nearly doubled. Figured
at twepty.six cents tree it would give
an annual income of 81, 227 COL, sum
that would seem worth while to the
maple sugar makers.
The STATISTICS show three counties
with a production OF over 1000, 900
pounds of sugar each. They are
Franklin county with l,O67, $3.50 pounds
of sugar and l27, 75l gallons of syrup,
Caledonia with 1924, 435 pounds of
sugar and "a, 949 gallons of syrup and
Orleans with 1896, 0S2 pounds of sugar
and s,OS7 gallons of syrup. These three
counties make considerably over half of
all the sugar and about quarter of all
the syrup made in the State. The in
come per tree in Franklin county is APP
proximately thirty-fve cents, in Gale
donia twenty-one and in Orleans twenty.
These figures are interesting and show
another opportunity for Vermonters to
develop into bigger and better bust
ness.

manifest their interest in agriculture
by the creation of committee on ag-

recognize the fact that the more the
farmer prospers the more the State will
prosper, and to bring this about better
farming methods must be encouraged

VALUE OF MILITARY TRAINING
Barre Times,

Aside from the consideration of war,
military training is distinct advantage
to a young man when it is conducted in
a thorough going, business like manner.
The purely physical benefit is the devel-
opment of habits of carriage which tend
to make the body erect, the shoulders
thrown back and the chest thrown out
so that the lungs and other organs of the
upper body have greater freedom; and,
besides, there is enough of physical eX-
ercise to strengthen the muscles and
render the whole body more capable of
resisting disease. The mental benefit lies
chiefly in the training which schools the
mind to concentration of effort, which
quickens the mental process and which
places an emphasis on obedience. There
fore, there is cause for satisfaction
over the rise of a desire for military
training in schools and colleges through
out the United States at the present
time, a satisfaction wholly apart from
the possible benefit should the nation
find itself plunged into war. In the latter
contingency there would be a decided
benefit in having thousands of young
men available who have been schooled
to a certain extent in the more rudi-
mentary features of military training,
But no one looks for the outbreak of a
war with the United States as a partici-
pant. Hence the benefits of the military
training now being conducted inv various
institutions will be measured by the gain
to the individual, in the development of
his body andin the quickening and harnes-
sing of his mind In order to gain those
benefits let the young men go into the
matter whole heartedly and not in a
lackadaisical manner. If, for instance,
the male students of Goddard seminary
hope to get any good out of the pro-
posed military training in that institu-
ton they should make business of it
and not mere diversion.
