SCHOOL FOR FEEBLE MINDED
CHILDREN.

With approximately l4OO feeble
minded children in Vermont, though
but comparatively small percentage
can be cared for in the school for feeble
minded recently established by the
State at Forest Park farm in Brandon,
it becomes necessary to increase the
equipment of the school and to that end
two dormitories are to be erected the
coming summer.
Th4 buildings, which will be either of
concrete or cement blocks, will be ia
feet long and 80 feet wide. The ce lter
section of each building will be slightly
larger than these dimensions. The
buildings will be one story high and
constructed so far as possible, in a
fireproof manner. The buildings will be
used exclusively as dormitories and not
for quarters Of instruction.
Each building is designed to accom-
modate 70 inmates. They will be built
upon lines followed by the architects
who constructed the buildings for
feeble-minded children at Letchworth,
N. Y, and Wrentham, Mass. Between
the middle of April and May bids will
be asked for on the construction and
the commission hopes to have the two
buildings ready for occupancy not later
than the first of next November. The
two dormitories will cost in the neigh
borhood of $780,
Col. J. E. Paddock of the commission
for the care of the Predetermined said
that while it may not be generally
known, there is an increase in the
number of Predetermined State wards
over the figures of few years ago,
not only in Vermont but in many Other
States. This increase is accounted fol
because of the care gwen such un'
fortunates. A few years ago many
children succumbed to tuberculosis anC
other diseases for want of treatment
and proper nourishment. With many
States making an effort to better the
condition of such unfortunates the NOR
tality rate has been decreased. Wher
the Vermont school is completely
equipped it will be one of the model in
situations in the country

Governor Gates closed a letter to the
boys and girls of the State, with these
words;
'As one whose great grandfather
settled within the borders of our State
in the early days, whose father reared a
family upon her soil, who has always
lived among her people and loved her
hills and valleys, believe this time IN
her history is the most attractive OF all

girls as a great opportunity not only ia
better themselves, but to make Yer

INVENTED DOUGHNUT HOLE.
Londonderry Sitter.

The man who invented the hole in
the doughnut has just come out in
the lime light, His name is Capt. Han
son Gregory, a sea-fearing man now
living at Quincy, Mass, at the age OF
"a. In his early skipper days ne was
cook on schooner. In his day they
fried doughnuts made into square
cakes or twisted. He found that the
outside would be crispy while the mid
die would be half cooked and soaked
full of fat His wits being set to work
made the hole in the middle. His wife
pronounced them fine. He gave some
of them to his mother and that gooo
woman made painful and distributed
them among her neighbors. All were
delighted and soon everybody made this
delicacy with hole in the middle.

CONGRESS HAMPERS PRISONS
Rutland News

Rutland News.
The question of prison labor and
the product of that labor is bound
always to be knotty one. 1t is
doubtful whether congress will ever
pass law forbidding interstate traffic
in prison made goods of whatever kind
and character. At the same time prison
products should be of type not to com
pete unfairly with products of free
labor 1t is essential that inmates OF
penal institutions be given healthful,
useful work, and that is the aim of the
prison management in Vermont. 1t
is believed, too, that the prison labor
of this State conflicts with free labor
to the minimum degree. The labor
also should be productive, to the end
that the public expense of mainten-
ance of criminal classes be reduced to a
degree at least. If congress should
make it impossible to ship from one
State to another any and all classes OF
prison-made goods, it might happen
that Vermont and all other States
would be forced to employ its prisoners
on highway work which certainly
wouldn't be unfortunate.

APPLE CULTURE AND APPLE
PRICES.

PRICES.
Bradford Opinion,
Here il a little story about YER
mont apples and Dorset was the scene
of the plot, An apple buyer went from
a certain city to buy supply OF APP
pies and he was directed to a certain
man, who had reputation for know
ing about the apple situation. So the
man who knew and the man who
wanted to buy visited all the apple
growers and bought the fruit at from
81. rs to so. so a Darrell, which was an
average price for an average product
Then the buyer wanted to know II the
man to whom he had been referred
hadn't apples for sale and he was told
that he had but that the buyer wouldn'
want them. The buyer insisted on
sc eing them and asked the price, which
was $500 a Darrell and the buyer
snapped up the trade as he said
that was the quality he had been look
ing for. Now these $500 a Darrell APP
pies had been raised in an orchard no
better than the other farmers had and
the fruits were of the same varieties,
but he had sprayed his trees, looked out
for tho growing fruit and when he had
them picked, he had graded them ac'
cording to quality. So his first quality
apples were worth $500 a barrel be-
cause every apple was up to the
standard. Here is lesson for apple
growers. 1t rests with the individual
grower whether he will sell the $500 OF
the $500 grade and the difference is in
telligence and industry in growing
them.
