Capt. e. w. Eberle, superintend-
ent of the United States naval AGA

future naval officers-to sea

experience.
Today they're scattered among
a score or more of battleships, tor
pedo boat destroyers and cruisers,
shoyeling coal, swabbing decks,
practicing with the guns and do
ing exactly what thousands OF en-
listed men are doing.
It's an illustration of the new

American navy.
Pull Doesn't Work.
"The first essential in turning
out a good officer is to instill in
him an appreciation of the serv-
ices of the men who will be I'M
der him." said Capt. Eberle.
So, carrying out Capt. Eberles
theories of democracy, the mid
shipmen this summer will acquire,
first handed, accurate knowledge
as to lust how hard it is to keep
the furnaces aboard ship supplied
with coal or just how much
muscle it takes to keep the ship
spick and span.

A HOME DEMONSTRATORS?

The plans of obtaining a Home
Demonstration to work among the womer
in Addison County, something in the
manner in which the County Agent
works among the farmers, should now
be carried to completion since the food
control bill has been passed, providing
certain sum of money for the use in
each state for home demonstration
work About $1,000 comes to Vermont
for this purpose, a sum not quite suf-
ticient to place home demonstration in
every county unless local funds are
raised to help pay the expenses.
County Agent Carrigan announces a
plan to place demonstration agent in
Addison and Chttenden counties if each
county will raise about $500 locally to
help support the work. This agent
would be employed until July /, 1918,
giving ample time to show how profit
able the experiment could be made
Agent Carrigan has already interested
a number of women in the work, and
the committees which were appointed
in several sections some time ago to
solicit funds should now resume their
efforts with vigor since federal help is
assured. Anyone interested, and every
woman in the county should be, should
address Mr.. Carrigan.

If we are in any mood to take lessons
from German efficiency let us copy
some of their peace time practices in
the conservation Of human life. In
Germany and most of the other Euro
pean countries even the remotest rail
road crossings are properly protected
by guardsmen or automatic devices
which make practically impossible such
terrible accidents as occurred near
Bellows Falls on Monday when four
persons were killed on crossing, two
women's heads being severed from
their bodies.
To further drive home the lesson of
our carelessness, there was on the same
day another crossing accident at Essex
Junction in which man was killed,
leaving widow and four children.
What boots it for US to strive so hard
to preserve human life in so many
ways, and so wantonly sacrifice it
through neglect of the first principles
of safety. A few thousand dollars or so
would have made safe for all time the
b. q NJ, crossings where four people
were killed last Monday.

VERMONT?

A number of the state papers, led by
The Bennington Banner, are denouncing
an article on Vermont which appears in
the current number of The American
Magazine. Mrs. Zephne Humphrey, a
woman who wrote book about Dorset
few years ago, is the author of the
article, but further than that we do not
know by what right Mrs. Humphrey
speaks as one of us in trying to describe
the glories of Vermont Doubtless her
efforts were well intentoned, but her
sketch is woefully lacking in substance,
depicting scarcely anything of the char
acter of the state or its people.
The Bennington Banner pronounces it
libel on the state while The Rutland
Herald let's it down as just case of
ignorance. In any case it is interest
ing to read Mrs. Humphreys article
and by permission of the editor of The
American Magazine The Register re-
produces it in full from which our
readers may judge through what sort of
spectacles Mrs. Humphrey is looking at

the college greatly needs, II is not
understood that DR., Walkers gift
could be applied to this general endow-
ment fund, inasmuch as the purposes of
his Request are specifically stated.
The news of Dr. Walkers generous
gift came yesterday in dispatches from
New York where the will was filed
Dr. Walker having been for many
years one of the most prominent and
successful physicians in that city, re-
siding at IL West both Street. In the
absence of President Thomas over the
weekend II was impossible to learn
whether any further details of the be-
quest had been received DR., Thomas
had heard of 1t just before he left town
yesterday morning, and was greatly
pleased with the news of DR., Walkers
generous remembrance. II appears
that he has left practically his entire
fortune to the college, for the will, so
far as the dispatches show makes only
one other bequest, that being to the
Mcclure Library Association Of Pitts
ford, To IL he left his entire holdings
in the Pittsford Aqueduct Company, a
tract of land known as the Drake
Lot" and Sl5, 900 in trust for the found
ing of the walker Memorial Building"
which is TO be used as library.
DR., Walker was unmarried and was
the last of his family, one of the most
remarkable families, intellectually,
that Vermont has produced in many
generations, Dr. Charles Walker, his
father, one of the most noted Congre.
gatonal divines of western Vermont,
had three sons and one daughter. The
daughter married Rev. DR., George N.
Boardman, one of the most distin.
guished scholars of Vermont and pro.
fessor of various seminaries,
OF the four sons including the SON
in-law, three were graduates of Mid
dlebury, two being valedictorians of
their respective classes and one, salut-
atorian Rev. George Walker, who in
early life was an invalid, overcome his
misfortune and became one Of the most
distinguished Congregational ministers
in the State.
Charles Walker had one brother, Rev.
Aldace Walker, for many years pastor
Of the church at West Rutland and
the latter had one son and one daugh-
ter The son, Col Aldace +. Walker,
lieutenant colonel of the llth Vermont
regiment, was valedictorian of his class
