RASPBERRY RECIPES.

Raspberries. it is said. are named as
they are because of the rasp. or rough
ness, that characterizes them. 1t is
rather too bad that their one unpleas-
ant quality. instead of one of their
many delightful ones, should have been
chosen to emphasize in their name.
Indeed. in Scotland. they are called
simply rasps. But in spite of a name
that says much we all, or most of US
consider the red raspberry one of the
best offerings of the summer
In no way are these red berries bet
ter than just as they come from the
bushes. washed lightly to remove dust
and lightly dried back to their original
state, and served with cream and, per-
haps. a busting of sugar. On the other
hand, no berry cooks to better advan-
tage than the red raspberry. 1t loses
little of the best of it's flavor In the
cooking. and. therefore. is one of the
best berries for canning, for jam and
for cooked desserts.

Raspberry Cream.

Raspberry cream is one Of the dsin-
ties you should try in raspberry sea-
son. For this pint of raspberry juice
is needed; and you might save this
recipe until next winter, for canned
raspberry juice and a little less sugar
can be used with successful results.
Soak half box of gelatin in half a
cup of cold water. and when it is soft.
pour half cup of boiling water over
it, Add one cup of sugar, and put in a
double boiler over the fire until the
sugar and gelatin are quite dissolved
Then remove and add the pint of rasp-
berry juice. prepared by MASKING ber-
ries and straining through cheesecloth.
Chill, and when the mixture has just
begun to harden. fold in 4 pint of cream
whipped stiff. Pour into mold and
let harden. Turn out and garnish with
few of the ripe. fresh berries.
Canned Paspberries.
To make canned raspberries. which
do retain the fresh flavor to a remark
able degree, use one cup of sugar to a
quart of the fruit. Use JUST enough
water to dissolve the sugar, or else use
no water at all. Simmer until berries
are tender and pour into sterilized fruit
jars.
Raspberry Vinegar.
Raspberry vinegar. IL made now. can
be used as a refreshing beverage for
the rest Of the summer-and probably
there will not be any left to use next
winter for the same purpose. To make
il, cover four quarts OF the berries with
mild cider vinegar. and let them stand
for twenty-four hours. Then scald the
mixture, and strain of the liquid.
+, Measure the juice. and to every pint
! add pound of sugar and boil for
twenty minutes. Have ready some ster-
! ilized bottles and pour the juice into
! them. Seal and stand away. Add two
| tablespoonfuls to glass of iced water
or very cold water when serving as a
! beverage.
Raspberry shortcake.
Raspberry shortcake. like strawberry
and peach shortcake. can be made In
| two different ways-with a cake or
with a biscuit foundation. For the cake
foundation. crush the berries between
the layers. pile the top layer with
| fresh berries. and serve with sweetened
i whipped cream. For the biscuit kind

in the chapter over Dr. Hiilegas sigma
ture, That chapter gives no warrant
for thinking that he will come to YER

schools, or az an enemy of Norwich

he speaks of the devotion and good
common sense generally manifested by
the school directors" and the Large
native ability" of Vermonts rural
teachers. He tells US that our rural
school buildings twill compare fayorably
with those found in any Of the older
States" He reports as to consolida'
ton of schools, but does not recommend
any such wholesale transportation OF
pupils as some have feared, Indeed he
found some pupils carried farther thar
in his judgment was wise, He recon-
mends a new course of study, The
abolition of examinations for admission
to high school, more play grounds, ant
more thorough supervision, but these
are matters in which improvement ha
been generally felt to be necessary
All in all DR., Hillegas contribution
to the Carnegie report was that OF
practical, fair-minded man, careful IL

deep, patriotic conviction of the funda

A FAIR CHANCE FOR DIR.
HILLEGAS.

1t was a mistake to hail the appoint
ment of DR.. Milo B. Hillegas as a vim
dication of the Carnegie Foundation 5
Report on Education in Vermont. 1t is
not true. as the Bellows Falls Times
has stated, that Dr. Hillegas wrote
most of that report. He wrote only the
section on Elementary Education, 36
pag S out of PA. The features of the
Carnegie report which fixed themselves
in the public mind are not in that sec
ton.
1t is also unfortunate that the selec-
ton of DR.. Hillegas has been criticized
because he happened to be one of the
Carnegie investigators. He gave his
services as an expert on elementary
education to body legally authorized
to study our schools, and he did good
work. The section of the Carnegie
Report on elementary education, for
which alone DR.. Hillegas is responsible,
is the most valuable and the least radi-
cal of the entire report. Net a single

INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE

An anonymous letter, signed "IaX-
payer, was printed in Burlington
paper Wednesday criticising Middlebury
College, its Faculty, and especially
President Thomas, on the subject OF
taxation. Dr. Thomas makes reply in
to-day's paper, denying the alleged
facts and also giving some of the inner
history concerning the State Commits
sionership of Education. 1t is believed
that the sentiments expressed by Tax
payer" are shared by very few residents
of Middlebury, most of whom know the
facts and know also the benefit which
the college is constantly bringing to the
town. The correspondence follows:
To the Editor of the Free Press:
In the Burlington Free Press of March
q there appeared an article from the
State tax commissioner regarding what
is hoped to be accomplished for the ben
eft of the taxpayers of Vermont
Much is said in an endeavor to comfort
the overburdened taxpayer, but we note
that the increased salaries and approp-
riatons still continue to loom up.
We also note that those who are being
benefited by increased salaries and APP
preparations are not the ones who are
bearing their part in the burden OF
taxation. This refers to State officials,
educators and heads of institutions.
Through the columns of the Free
Press we learn that the new candidate
for governor, Mr.. Graham, is an officia
who guards carefully the expenditure
of public funds. Judging from the use
or misuse of public funds in the past
this seems to be difficult matter fol
our lawmakers to control.
The taxpayers of Vermont have re
Gently been informed that the State
board of education has appointed mar
for commissioner of education at a sal
ary of So, 600 year, nearly twice thu
amount given to his predecessor.
1t is generally understood that tn
man who would have taken the position
of State commissioner of education a
Sc, 900 year does not come in the list o
taxpayers. These facts are Of vlte
interest to the people of Vermont an
ought to receive publicity.
Some of US who live in college tow
know what it is for college property t
be exempt from taxation and for colleg
y leaders and instructors to immune then
selves from taxation on the. ground @
being under cover of an educational ir
stitution.
Is there something wrong in our edt
cational system or is the problem to b
solved at our Legislature?
