A Useful Storm,

Professor Cleveland Able, the Amer

tied with being the father of scientific
weather forecasting. The possibility
Of predicting the weather was first
considered at an International confer
ence ut Brussels in 1853, but the nee
essary impetus to the movement was
given in lS.o4, during the Crimean war.

RANDOLPH RESULTS WARRANT
EXPENSE

The Rutland Herald in the course
of a discussion of the agricultural
school situation says, '"The trustees
(of the state schools of agricultural
have merely raised the question as to
whether the results in Randolph war
rant the expense" That's fair way
of stating it unless the statement
were to read, "the trustees have mere
ly raised the question as to whether
the results at Lyndon warrant the ex-
pense."
The trustees report, as the Mont
tor reads it, shows that the Lyndon
plant cost the state $4,000 during
the 1856 period and graduated 20
students with the maximum attend
ance of 83. During the same period
the Randolph plant cost Vermont
$4,000, graduated 80 students and
had a maximum attendance of rs.
Based on these figures, contained in
the trustees own report, the Ran
dolph school is much the best invest
dents for $4,000 or an Individual
cost of approximately $500. Lyndon
turned out 20 students for $4,000, or
an Individual cost of approximate
ly $7OO-more than twice the cost at
Randolph.
Why litter the situation up with in
ventories? Because a limousine in
ventories more than a moving ma
chine is no reason why it's value to
a farmer is greater. In fact the linn
CUISINES up-keep is more because it is
worth more Though less usefuD than
the moving machine-even though
given to the farmer.
The Monitor has no mud to throw
but most emphatically believes in the
Randolph school and by comparison
believes it's position as a state institu-
ton is firmly established on whole
some, useful and permanent basis.
During the past five years the Ran
dolph school has educated 200 young
men to be modern, scientific farmers
80 per cent of whom are engaged in
farm operations in the state of Yer
mont today. Randolph has had from
four to IS students from every county
in the state except Essex. Upon their
own testimony the earning capacity
of Randolph graduates has been in
creased from a third to three times
what II was hofora thav raooiyod thoiT
training. Can any institution in Yer
mont better this record, or can the
state make an investment which will
pay better interest than is realized on
the money spent in maintaining such
an institution?

More Than 500 Vermont Boys Meet.

The annual meeting of the Older
Boys Conference of Vermont was
held in Burlington Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. The conference was
highly successful. The place for next
years meeting has not been designat-
ed, but strong effort is being made
to have it at Bennington. The actual
number of delegates attending was
545, although the number of visitors
was considerably larger.
Fourteen denominations were rep
resented and 80 towns. There were 10
speakers among whom were Gov.
Graham, Mayor Drew of Burlington,
President Benton of U. V. M, and
outside speakers of note.
At a special meeting Sunday after
noon 80 boys who were not affiliated
with any church announced their in
tention of adopting the Christian life.
The following officers were elected:
D. Winnifred Smith of Barre, presi-
dent; R. H. Plastridge of Mortified,
vice president; Chester Way of Bur-
lington, secretary; P. H. Hindley of
Rutland, chairman of credentials

The Dependent Child.

The Vermont state conference of
Charities and Correction was organ
lied at Burlington in January, one
year ago. The meeting then held
was one full of interest and it as
sured the future success of the or
ganization. The second meeting is
called to meet at Montpelier, January
"a and 25 It is believed that this
meeting will be largely attended and
that the papers and discussions will
be of unusual interest. The princi-
pal speakers are to be DIR. Frederick
H. Knight Of Boston, superintendent
Of the little Wanderers Home" Of
that city, who is widely known as be-
ing greatly interested in all work for
the benefit of dependent children. C.
C. Carstens of Boston, the secretary
of the Massachusetts, Society for the
Prevention of. Cruelty to Children,
will also be one of the speakers. He
is one of the most enthusiastic work
ers in the cause of dependent children
and will be able to give valuable coun-
sci as to the needs Of Vermont
Among the speakers from Vermont
will be President Guy Potter Benton
of the University of Vermont, DR.. C.
S. Caverly, chairman of the state
board of health, Prof. K. R. B. Flint
of Norwich university, Prof. J. A.
Morgan Of Middlebury college and
Prof. G. G. Groat of the University
of Vermont.
The main topic of the conference
will be ''The Dependent and Neglect
ed Child" 1t is a fact that Vermont
has done excellent work in the care of
her delinquent children at the indus
trial school at Vergennes, and that
she now has undertaken to care for
the deficient children at the new in
stitution for feeble-minded children
at Brandon, but as a state she has
never taken any steps to meet her re-
sponsibility for the dependent chill
dren of the state. This has been left
to the local authorities and there is
no adequate or systematic method of
meeting the necessities of this class.
It is hoped that some definite plans
can be made at the conference held at
Montpelier, and that the whole sub
ject may be wisely considered.
All persons interested in the well
fare of the dependent children, or in
any phase of work for dependent
classes, should endeavor to be present
at the conference. Any information
desired regarding the conference can
be procured from w. J. Van Patten,
Burlington.

AN EMBROIDERED CEILING.
It Once Graced the Chinese Imperial
Palace at PekiN-.

Palace at Pekl,A7.
One of the most beautiful and elab-
crate pieces of embroidery ever exhib-
tied in New York was the ceiling Of
the council chamber Of the imperial
palace at Picking: This ceiling was
formed Of yellow silk of heavy quality
that much resembled faille in the
weave. The back was of a greenish
blue, woven in small diamond pat
tern. The total measurements Of it
all were twenty-one feet six inches
long and nineteen feet six inches wide.
The design with which it was en-
bellished was an imperial dragon in
the center and four others. one in each
corner. Encircli these a groundwork
was formed Of ~ i'd pattern, and dis
persed were small bats and other sym
bols. The cloud effect was worked out
in blue and purple and the bats in
pink. Tx. dragons were largely gold
work. and threefold line of gold sur
rounded each part of the design.
The story of this ceiling and how it
came to New York includes a small
part Of Chinese history and custom
1t was in the imperial council chamber
at Feking that the ENJOYS of the va
lious nations met III 1902 to settle the
Boxer difficulties. At the close of the
session a representative Of the e1npeI:
or courteously Informed them that the
contents of the chamber were cOnsid
cred profaned by the presence Of for
eigners and that they were therefore
at liberty to divide among themselves
the chambers furnishings. In this
manner the ceiling fell to the share OF
the American envoy.-St. Louis Post

Does Your Income Exceed 5000
Plunks?

How many citizens of Montpelier
receive a net income of $4,000 or over
year, including dividends? This is
a subject that is now engaging the
attention of the collector of internal
revenue at Portsmouth, N. H., whose
territory includes Maine, New Hamp-
shire as we'll as Vermont. A change
in the law is that the returns must in
clude the income from dividends.
The income tax is not subject that
nine men out of ten have anything to
do with but the tenth person along
about this time is giving the subject
intensive if not prayerful considera-
ton. His returns for the year of
1916 must be made on a prescribed
form and they are due to be filed not
later than March, 1917. When the
returns are not filed in season the
tax is increased SO per cent as a pen
atty.
While returns are exacted of every
Individual with an income of $4,000
an exemption of $4,000 is allowed on
account of being married or the head
of family.
Returns must also be made by
firms, corporations and others where
the tax is held and paid at it's source,
returns for the special capital stock
tax and special y. S. taxes for 1917
on theatres, bowling alleys, pool
rooms, brokers, circuses and the like
are also required, which makes one
realize that it costs something to sit
in the sun and keep the old mare
