Norwich University 10 Publish Rui-
lctin on Poor Relief in Vermont


Norwich University will publish
about December first. bulletin on
Poor Relief In the State Of Vermont
which will contain much interesting
information concerning subject
which vitality affects the public vel
fare. The work is being done by Pro
fessor X. r. b. Flint Of tho department
OF political science who haa for ecy-
Ieral years been gathering information
regarding the States dependent class
es. In the work he has had the co.
operation of the overseers OF the poor
throughout the state and the Vermont
Federation of Women's Clubs There
are three fundamental aims in the
publication Of the bulletin ll) TO show
the extent and cost Of paupariam in
the state; CO to outline the system Of
poor-relicf now existing in Vermont;
(3) to point out needed legislation
Vermont, in common with many
other of the older states, has been
tardy in giving the proper attention TO
her dependent classes. A rural state,
not confronted with the problems of
poverty which are to be found in the
great industrial centers she has allow
ed the poor relief standards of cen
fury and a quarter ago to drift into
the present. Proper distinction has
not been made between that class Of
dependents who are rightfully entitled
to the aid of the community, and that
other parasitic class, made up Of the
shiftlcss and the ignorant, who should
be made to respect the old adage, He
who cats must work" The state has
also tolerated legal system which
permits tubercular patients, dependent
children, and the feeble minded to
mingle in the same institution forget
full of the fact that such system
breeds sickness, poverty, and degen-
eracy for the generations to come.
The bulletin when published will
show among other things the number
of men, women, and children receiving
public aid October LIST, 1916; the num-
Der of foreign born; the number of
feeble minded; and the number of IL
literates. 1t will also show the mum
Der of the poor asylums in the state
and give much detailed information
the institutional relief Of
the poor.

WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Manchester People in Poor
Health Without Knowing the Cause

There are scores Of people who drag
out a miserable existence without
realizing the cause Of their suffering.
Day after day they are racked with
backache and headache; suffer from
nervousness, dizziness, weakness, Ian
gour and depression. Perhaps the
kidneys have fallen behind in their
work of filtering the blood and that
may be the root Of the trouble. Look

and distributed gifts and goodies to
the children. Later the floor was
cleared and dancing occupied the at
tention of the company for a while.
There was some good advice given
in the Live Wire Column regarding
additional restrictions to be placed on
officials elected to positions of trust
and responsibility. We especially be-
ieve budget system properly admin
istered would prove beneficial. Yet it
rather seems to us that incompetent,
untrustworthy men would be able to
thwart the wishes of the people, no
matter what safeguards might be pro-
vided. We feel that the people are
largely to blame for electing men who
do not measure up to the proper stand
ard. Many are too Indifferent to vote
at the primary election, which to our
mind, is the more important of the
two as after the nominations are made
the voters have choice of but two,
neither of whom may be fit for the
position to which he aspires unless
the voters have chosen wisely at the
primaries. Regarding the office of
county commissioner-this we consid-
er the most important office in the
county. The commissioners have the
business management of the county as
their duties, which entails the raising
and spending of more money in a year
that some of them would see in a life
time in their own affairs. Yet these
men are usually elected without any
reference to their fitness for the po-
sition, the general impression being
that the commissioners job doesn't
amount to much. 1t is difficult to get
good man to become a candidate for
this position because of the fact that it
will take too much time from his own
affairs and without sufficient compen-
sation. No man who is competent to
run the affairs of the county feels like
neglecting his own business, entail
ing financial loss to himself, to serve
the county, practically without recon-
pense. It is our belief that the COM
missioners should be put on salary,
not necessarily a large one, but suf-
fcient to justify competent, trust
worthy men neglecting their own af-
fairs to give the necessary time and
attention to the affairs of the public
without having to depend on petty
grating to make them whole.
