HELPFUL LUNCHEONS.
Rutland Herald.

The series of luncheons inaugurated
by the Rutland Business Mems asso-
citation promises some excellent re-
suits before the winter is over Apart
from the value of the get-together
spirit engendered by breaking bread
together, addresses by men like Presi-
dent Thomas of Middlebury College
and DR.. Hillegas, State commissioner
of education, have a deep educational
and Informative merit
Busy business men are VIGOROUSLY
poor students of public problems. The
exactng nature Of their vocations, the
urgent demands of shop and Office,
such social duties as they have time
for and their desire to devote some
small amount Of time to their homes
and families conspire to take up the
time of business and professional men
to a degree little realized by those
whose time is less circumscribed,
To such men, the clear and straight
forward exposition of school progress
and school problems, given yesterday
by DR.. Hiliegas, gives them in an
hours talk a better idea of what the
educational condition really is than
weeks of such casual reading as most
men find time for.
incidentally, it was something of a
revelation to learn how well some
features of Vermonts school system
are regarded outside the State, and, in
general, it was highly gratifying tc
know that the taxpayers of Vermont
are getting something worth while
for their biennial expenditures of
about $2,OOO,O 900 for schools and col
leges, nearly one million of which must
be raised by taxation.
These monday luncheons should be
continued and might profitably be at
tended, not only by every business and
professional man in the city, but by
every taxpayer who desires to know the
latest in the way of public progress.

KILLED SHORTHORN DEER.

Ray Pratt of East Middebury, who
was arrested by Deputy Fish and
Game Warden Walter l.. Forbes for
shooting buck deer with horns less
than three inches in length, was

the plea for the State and defense
Judge Donoway gave his charge to the
