RURAL CHURCH SURVEY.
Rutland Herald.

Within the year there is to be
survey of rural church conditions in
Vermont, the movement coming as part
of a nationwide campaign. In these
DAYS of Capitalization of effort, of eff
ficiency methods it is by no means a
wild suggestion that the results of the
survey will warrant the recommends
ton that struggling churches of diff
ferent denominations in isolated towns
combine forces. This has been done
successfully in several Vermont towns
and The Herald believes that the plan
can be carried still further to the end
that evangelical work may bring
wider and better results in this State.
The leaders selected for the move
ment in Vermont will be President
John M. Thomas Of Middlebury COL
lege, Rev. W. A. Dawson of Burling-
ton, Henry Bond of Brattleboro and
Charles Tuxbury of Windsor, each
strong in the denomination he repre-
sents. Though each of these men
may be termed UNCONVENTIONAL leaders
they represent type which stands for
far more liberal Interpretation of re-
ligion than did those who builded the
State. The four men designated by
the Commission on Church and Country
Life to direct the rural church sur
vey in Vermont are red blooded, men
of the present, citizens of new YER
mont who appreciate the fact that
there can be achieved a greater unity
Of purpose by coalition of struggling
congregations than by a blind adher-
ence to denominations lines where a
dozen or less people sustain each of
two or three churches in some town re-
mote from the larger centers of popu-
lation.

POLITICAL FACTS.
Brattleboro Phoenix.

Some space filler from Montpelier
made a spurge in the Boston Sunday
Herald over the gubernatorial situation
in Vermont, to which very few people
here are paying any attention, We are
told that X-Congressman Frank Plum
ley "looms large on the horizon, y
which is true in a physical sense, but
we doubt whether he Is in the running
in a governorship race, The name of
Judge Tyler of Brattleboro is brought
forward, but we are told that he is on
the wrong side Of the State" which
is just the opposite OF correct state
ment. We have not consulted Judge Ty'
Ter, but il il safe to assume that this
former congressman and justice of the
supreme court, who is living in retire
ment, is not looking for political honors.
The Montpelier writer considers James
b. Estee of Montpelier, AZ Large and
luminous possibility" which we don't
believe. About the only thing with which
we agree is that Horace f. Graham of
Craftsbury has an excellent chance for
the nomination if he cares for it," II
Mr.. Graham is not candidate, Fred II.
Babbitt of Bellows Falls is the man
most likely to get the nomination,

A VERMONT HILL TOWN.
Springfield Reporter.

Springfield Reporter.
Gulled from the local news of the
Windsor Journal is found an item from
Weston which states that its young
people away at school are home for
the holidays. According to this casual
item Weston, with a total population
in 1910 of but 632, has at the present
time one student at Montpelier
seminary, one at the University of
Vermont, two at the Lyndon agricul-
tural school, one at the Chester high
school, two at the Black River academy
at Ludlow and one at Middlebury col
lege, making six in secondary schools
and two in college. Whether these
young people finally settled in Weston
or not it shows the qualities of force,
virilty and ambition still regnant
in that mountain town, and argues well
for the devotion and sacrifice of the
parents who make this outside educa-
ton possible. 1t is upon such things as
these that the grandeur of Vermont is
built.

HANDS COVE CHAPTER.

Hands Cove chapter, d. A, R., was
very pleasantly entertained at the home
of Mrs. P. w. Waite in Shoreham vii
lage on Saturday, January Sth. A
bountful lunch was served at noon and
the regent, Mrs. Delano, soon called
the chapter to order and the chaplain,
Mrs. North, read the Woman's prayer
for the New Year, also the prayer for
our country from the Army and Navy
Service Ritual,
=Reports of officers and committees
were first listened to; also the re-
port of the State d. A. X. meeting
held in Burlington and given by the
regent and delegates who attended, and
the regent read report of the Vermont
State meeting held in Washington, D.
c., and attended by State officers.
The chapter voted to give $40 to the
Kurn Hattin home as usual each year
and an appeal for help for the Berry
school was given consideration.
After intermission Miss Agnes Bush
read most interesting paper on 1.-THE
Childhood Days of Colonial Patriots, "
contrasting those days with the child
hood days of this Goth century and
closing with a plea for place and
workers to help make the childhood of
our young people safe from the
attractions which dazzle but do not
help in character building and moral up
lift.
Music was furnished by Victrola at
intervals during the afternoon and ad-
ded much to the pleasure of the &C.
casion.
The meeting closed by singing
America and adjourned to the call Of
