another, The shrewd resourcefulness of
the youngster in lodging the teacher
and the truant officer almost arouses
ones admiration. But the truant will
pay high for his idleness later on.
This Is an era of easy-going habits of
parenthood, The fact that an order Is
issued to the young fry does not mean
that anyone follows 1t up to see that 1t
is obeyed, Money earned by childrenis
very convenient factor in paying
household bills, Some families en-
courage the youngsters to drop out of
school work in order to pick up odd
jobs and gather in little money.
The efficient school will keep a close
watch over its absent members, EX-
cuses for non-attendance shouldbe care

absences and send the child to school
only just the time the law demands

A PUBLIC SERVICE,
Rrattleboro Reformer.

The st. Johnsbury Caledonan per-
forms a public service in pointing out
that there are two things with the new
primary law which should be remem-
bered when the voter goes into the
booth on September II. First, the fact
he has signed a mans petition does
not bind him to vote for that man.
He could not sign a second petition
but if there have been developments
since he signed mans petition that
make him want to vote for another
man he is at liberty to do so. Second,
he can vote in only one political col
umn. He cannot vote for one or more
of the Democratic candidates and then
vote the rest of the ticket Republican
or vice versa. He is not obliged to vote
for all the candidates in either party
but all he votes for must be in the
same party or his vote will be thrown
out as defective. So don't attempt to
split your ticket when you vote if you
want your vote to count.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
Morrisville News and Citizen.

A recent government report of rural
schools shows that there are important
sections of the country where the chill
dren attend only 65 or so days in a
year.
There is still vast field for the activi-
ties of the old fashioned truant officer.
1t is not enough to establish a we'll
equipped school and put a competent
teacher in it. If the pupils are hit or
miss in their attendance the taxpayers
money is wasted and generation of
children is growing up in semi
ignorance.
Figures like those quoted above sug-
gest big problem as to who is respon-
sible for such lax standards, Playing

their enlistment to the middle of next
January, $40 month for relief of the

proved as fair by the tax payers of Yer

Mr.. VAIL, BALL PLAYER,
Springfield Reporter,

Springfield Reporter
Theodore N. Vail, head Of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph com
pany, acknowledged in Portland, Me-,
the other day that there was time
when he was reckoned pretty good
ball player. In those days he had the
distinction Of being at the head Of a
real base ball team out in Iowa, posi-
ton which no doubt gave him then
more joy and pride than the honors
of later years have been able to in

Pop Arson and won two out of five
games from Anson's club. He holds
the belt of the champion pitcher of
Iowa and it is one Of his most cherished
possessions, "At the time | won it, "
he is reported to have said, lit fitted

AGAINST POLIO
Rutland Herald.

Rutland Herald.
The decision of the State board of
education to defer the opening of
schools for one week seems to The
Herald good judgment and good bust
ness.
August and September are always
bad months for polio cases, or infantie
paralysis. Whether the epidemics
are due to dust infection or whether to
contact is as yet uncertain, but certain
it is that the dryest, busiest months
have generally been the worst for polio
sickness.
So far, the State has been practically
free from polio, but how long this
desirable condition will continue is a
question. 1t seems to be the desire of
the State board of education to do at
least what it may, within reasonable
bounds, to prevent an outbreak, but
the chances are that there will be some
cases.
To minimize the peril seems emin-
emily desirable, and the missed week
can be made up later. A week, more
or less, is a small matter of school
routine, compared with the menace and
peril involved in a possible epidemic of
poliomyelitis.

JOHN E. WEEKS,
The Advance.

The smoke of the senatorship fight
is beclouding all other contests. 1t
should be remembered that there are
two candidates for acknowledgement,
In stating that John f. Weeks is
worthy of the place it is pleasure to
reproduce characteristic sketch of
the man from the late John +, Harris,
an early editor of this paper.
It's not supposable that omnipotence
ever made a mistake, but if the
eternal architect ever had such mo-
mentary lapse it was when he desig-
mated John Weeks and located large
and energetic soul in perhaps too
frail a body. His immense voltage is
frequently case Of powerful
motor racking to light frame, but
the latter has thus far fairly well
withstood the strain. He was born in
the thriving and substantial town Of
Salisbury, June IA, 1854, located IN
Middlebury in 1896, and is now and al
ways has been a large and successful
farmer. His school education was
finished at Middlebury High school, and
since then he has been taking a con-
tinuous course in the great school
of life and with results which have
been splendidly indicated in his public
career. This latter includes service
in the House in 1888 and in the
Senate in 1896. In the House again in
1912 and in his representation o. his
town again this year, when he was
elevated to the position of speaker.
From 1892 to 1894 he was also asso-
ciate judge of his county court, and
State cattle commissioner in 1906. 1t
is no disparagement of his excellent
services in the above capacities, how
ever to say that his larger and more
pleasing title to the consideration and
regard of the State has come from his
services on the States penal boards.
In 1898 he was appointed to member
ship in the board of trustees of the
State industrial school at Vergennes,
and has been chairman of the State
board of penal institution since 1906.
1t is in this latter capacity, offering
such limitless opportunities for SER
vice of the most valuable and far
reaching nature, that he has well won
a name and fame extending far be-
yond .the borders of Vermont. The
Good Book allows that "a prophet is
not without honor save in his own
country" but this is not true of Mr..
Weeks. Far some time Vermonters
were slow to realize the magnitude
and immense benefit of the work he
was certainly accomplishing in the
line of prison reform, but they fully
realize it now and have constantly in
creasing respect and esteem for the
unostentatious and quiet hammered
man who has accomplished so much
to put Vermont in first place on the
map in penal uplift work. Judge
Weeks is dstinctively a man of
large executive capacity, genius in
the sense of his qualifications for
painstaking and infinite detail in his
work, with administrative and con-
structive ability plus. The innate
kindness and humanitarianism of the
man, coupled with the above talents
commands the very best results in
dealing with these great questions
affecting human brotherhood, and
along these lines the world has in
deed a most efficient benefactor in
John E. Weeks. Long may he be
spared to serve Vermont in any
capacity where his valuable qualifica-
tons may be most useful.
