In the Public Schools

The pupils in American public schools
should be glad of an opportunity that is
given them which has not been known in
past years. The interest in the great war
gives them chance to learn geography
and modern history in such a way that
the lessons will not be forgotten.
There are other lessons to be learne1 at
the same time. First, the uselessness of
hatred. Though we may be compelled to
war with Germany, and though our duty
to ourselves and to the world may call
rs to take up the work bravely and see
1t through intellectually, we need not
and should not hate Germans just be-
cause they are Germans. That kind of
hatred is not only wicked but foolish.
One crazy man is just as insane as an
other. Hate tyranny and selhshness, and
fight to smash the government or the
system that tries to force them upon the
world, but do not hate people.
There is the lesson, too, of economy
War always makes high prices and is
very likely to make people extravagant
Let the public school pupils learn to be
careful in spending money and in the care
OF articles that cost money; clothes,
books, all the materials that are in use
in the schools. The cost of paper is great
er than ever before and is constantly in
creasing. The pupils of the public sch ools
if careful in the use of paper and pencils.
can save money for their town, and every
cent that can be saved will be needed.
Then there is the lesson of patriotism.
= Every scholar should be taught that the
freedom that we enjoy was bought with
blood and great sacrifice on the part of
our forefathers. That we live in the best
land on earth and enjoy a freedom and
liberty not granted to any other country
is the result of the efforts of those who
came before us. We should reverence
their memory and so live that we do not
cast reproach upon those who made it
possible for us to enjoy these things.
Honor their memory. honor the flag and
thus houor our country.
A grand good time is this for the teach
ers to impart respect, economy and pat.
riotism to those under their instruction.

Peck and Villas

Ohittenden county is about halt repre-
sented in the Vermont Senate.
In the first place, Burlington and its
suburbs furnished all four senator's. Gen
| orally speaking, it strains Burlington
pretty hard to furnish one or two good
men. When it comes to four it is pretty
near fracture.
DIR. Don c. Hawley, chairman OF the
recent republican state convention, and
II. H. Wheeler of South Burlington, an
experienced legislator, seldom get a
chance to show their mettle on the floor
of the Senate.
They are compelled to be silent most of
the time because their colleagues talk at
great length on every conceivable subject
Chittenden county is represented in the
Senate by two hypertrophied egos and
two enforced silences.
The last time The Herald checked up,
Senator's Peck and Villas had introduced
over SO per cent of all the bills introduced
in the Vermont Senate. On most public
debates reported to The Herald, they
have talked more than all the other sena-
tors put together.
On one occasion Senator Villas talked
one hour and Is minutes during one ses-
sion and Senator Peck about 80 minutes.
This simply set back the work of the Up
per House so much.
There is, of course, some negative bene-
fit in Peck and Villas: They talk so much
that all other senators have to be brief
in order to keep up with their work.
In fact, it may be true that Peck and
Villas are good for the Senate. Others
listen to them and say: do listen like
that when | speak? Meyer againp'
So perhaps it is Just as well that the
Chittendeu county delegation in the Up
per House consists of Two Voices and
Two Votes. There is law of compensa-
tion and it sits on he job every day
Rutland Herald
The above is certainly anirsult to two
of Chittenden county's worthy Senators.
MessIs, Peck and Villas are serving the
state and their county well. They are
indefatigable workers and while some
may think they are too prominent in the
parts they take in the Senate, all they do
is tor the good of their constituency and
not for selfish or Interior motives. More
than this, Peck and Villas are not always
on dress parade" They put in a great
deal of time in committee work, and
while Others are taking things easy they
may be found most any night at work at
the State House.
In referring to the above. one who
knows says: TOO bad; Peck and Villas !
nave been and are two of our best Sena-
.ors."

AS to Salaries

The proposition to increase the govern
or's salary to $4,000 appears to be in
spired by fear lest it will be impossible
to secure competent man to hold that
important office for any less. So far
there have been three or four gentlemen
every biennial election anxious to take
the job of chief executive without any
quibbling whatever about the salary,
which was the last thing, apparently, to
enter into their calculations. 1t was
thought one or two of the past candi-
dates would have accepted the position
gladly with no remuneration attached
and may possibly have spent more in at
tempting to secure a nomination than
the Office would pay in a number OF
years. Big corporations. according to
whose business methods the affairs of
Vermont are hereafter to be administered,
seldom pay bigger prices than they are
obliged to in order to obtain efficient ser
vice. II they have more desirable appli-
cants than they can shake stick at for
a $4,000 position they don't insist on
doubling the pay because they are
afraid the applicant cannot afford to do
the work for $25o0. They wait for the
applicant to complain of insufficient
wages and not until they find they can
not fill his place on the old terms, do
they agree to a raise. The idea of run
ming this state on business principles was
beautiful theory of Governor Graham's
but grows more and more tarcical as
time goes on.-Spring6eld Reporter.
