A writer has said: III there be a
pleasure on earth which angels cannot
enjoy and which they might almost
envy man the possession Of, It is the
power Of relieving distress. Every
kindly act We do but inclines us more
toward such deeds, and We become
reader to do the Same .gain and with
more enjoyment. Every kindness
done to others In our daily walks ad-
vances US nearer those great souls
which make the age they live In
memorable.

Every man, every woman, every
child has some talent, some power,
some opportunity OF getting good and
doing good. Each day Offers some oc.
casion for using this talent. Al we
use 1t 1t gradually increases improves
and becomes native to the character.
AS we neglect 1t 1t dwindles, withers,
and disappears. This 10 the stern but
benign law by which We live. This
makes character real and enduring;
this makes progress possible; this
turns men into angels and virtue into
goodness.

1t is cowardly--implying . fear Of

1t is contemptible-forfeiting the re-

1t is lndecent-offenslve TO delicacy,

1t is mean. A boy OF high moral
standing would almost 40 soon steal
a sheep as swear.
1t is abusive-to the mind which
conceives the oath to the tongue which
utters it, and to the person NJ whom
it is aimed.
1t is venomous-showing boys

Him who will not hold him guiltless

ENLIST FOR FARM LABOR
Continued from Page y

intendents were making to release boys
for farm work, and indicated the posi-
bility ofEthe appointment Of "a lady
county agent for demonstration work
if the association desired, 1t was a
year when not only the raising Of more
food but its conservation was import
ant.
He urged every farmer to have Il
home garden, and once it was ploughed
and planted turn the responsibility over
to the children, which would be possible
this year through their release from
school. No plot on the farm, he said,
raised as much food as the garden.
DR.. Thomas told of the plan the Col
lege faculty had formulated to release
men who wished to enlist for farm
work, and how they were being encour-
aged to enter this patriotic and eco
monte service,
Forty percent of our men are from
farm homes" said he, land believe
that many of the others are capable of
rendering efficient service on the
farm"
A. w. Dickens told of efforts which
he and Mr. Carrigan were making to
establish "a lard and labor clearing
house" and SAID they had already listed
some land that could be had for the
asking, and some at aImostnothing, and
they were getting in touch with others
who wanted land and labor
Charles Jewett of Weybridge dis
cussed some of the trials of raising soya
beans and corn, and fighting off the
crows and woodchucks, and asked
whether the government was going to
let the farmer use arsenic on the beans
Judge Weeks, who has had some eX-
perience in handling boys for farm labor
pleaded with the farmers that those
who took on boys or strange hands
should treat them fairly, with patience.
"Drive boy and discourage him and
YOU have broken him." he said, "but
encourage him and you will find you will
get lot out of him. "
1t was after ten when the meeting
adjourned.

THE Middlebury Register takes up
almost column of space in trying
to prove The Herald inconsistent
Bless you, child, that's an unimportant
matter compared with giving credits
to Middlebury students who presumed
to enlist in the naval reserve. And,
by the way, neither President Thomas
nor The Register has answered The
Herald's question: Do they get their
credits or do they not?
THAT we know selective CONSUMPTION
is the proper system and must come
in time does not affect the fact that
men for the army and navy are needed
now, nor does it warrant anything
but fair treatment for men who have
enlisted under the volunteer system.
Men must be got into training at once,
not after Congress has passed or re-
fused to pass a CONSUMPTION law.
Evidently President Thomas of Mid
dlebury College did not part with a
personal and college organ when he
sold The Register. From The Rutland

A large meeting of farmers was held
in Bristol at one O'Clock Saturday,
April Dist. j. H. Hills, Dean of the

food shortage existing in the world at
the present time and outlined recon-
mendations which were drawn up at a
recent conference of Agricultural Rep
resentatves of thirty-tWo states. +. S.
Brigham, Commissioner of Agriculture,
outlined measures that could be adopted
throughout Vermont in raising enough
home grown crops for home consump-
ton. j. p. Taylor, secretary of the
Greater Vermont Association, outlined
the duty of the farmer and children in
the present crisis and encouraged them
to do their "bit". j. E. Carrigan,
County Agent, outlined plans of work
for the farmer for the coming season
emphasizing several important prac-
tees than can be taken lin the County
which will get results without entaiing
extra labor. The offer of the National
Bank of Bristol of prizes for the farm
ers who raise the most corn and potatoes
was presented. Much interest was
shown by the people present. Enthu-
siasm for greater effort seemed to be
aroused.

Statistics given out in Washington
yesterday for recruiting for the regular
army from April to April "a, placed
Vermont at the foot of the list-the
poorest showing Of any of the AZ states
with per centage Of only 2,5. 1t is
something for US to think about, but it
is little too early for statistical com
parsons of the helpfulness which the
several states will render in this war;
Eighty percent of Vermont land is in
farms, and it is the only one of the New
England states in which the rural popu-
lation exceeds the urban population.
Vermont is at work on its farms, and
we believe when the final reckoning
comes there will be other percentages
which Uncle Sam will appreciate quite
as much as those of army recruiting.

sending the money all out west and
then kicking over the railroad en-

WILL TEACH LANGUAGES BETTER
Conference of Thlrty'eisht Teach
ers Strives for Efficiency.


That modern language teachers in
Vermont are alive to the possibilities Of
improved methods was indicated by the
gathering of thirty-eight language
teachers here last Friday and Saturday
for the first spring conference of the
Vermont Group Of the New England
Modern Language Association The
conference afforded the teachers an
opportunity to hear Dr. M, r, Hlillegas,
state commissioner Of education, speak
on the situation,
As result of a suggestion made by
Dr. Hillegas, the conference elected n
committee to formulate definite pro-
posals Ms to the aim in teaching modern
languages in secondary and Junior high
schools. This committee will report to
the association next fall in connection
with the State teachers convention
Dr. Hillegas also said, among other
things, that the first year of teaching
should be year of probation, and that
attendance at summer shoots should be
required,
Prof, A, II, Applemann Of the Uni
versity Of Vermont, and others eX-
planned the advantages Of the direct
method Of language teaching, and one
of the features Of the conference was a
demonstration class by Mr.. W, +. Dayi-
son to illustrate this method.
Professors D. l., Robinson and Everett
Skillings Of Middlebury College, who
conducted QUESTIONABLE throughout the
state, reported that in a few schools
the efficiency of modern language
teaching ranked high-to be compared
favorably with any in the country-but
in majority of the schools the situa-
ton was bad, due mainly to the fact
that the students were overt urdened
with subjects and work.
y President John M. Thomas in addi-
ton to delivering a welcoming address,
spoke at a supper which the teachers
enjoyed in Hepburn Social Hall, where
he touched up relations with German
teachers. He reminded his hearers
that the war is between the United
States and the German government
not with the German people and should
not lead teachers to treat their German
colleagues with anything but a spirit Of
fairness.
An organ recital by Prof L. j,
Hathaway in the Mead Memorial
chapel on Friday afternoon, and the
presentation of two short plays, one in
German and one in French under the
directions of Professor Robinson md
SEillngs were interesting features.
Principal A. S. Hartman of the Mid
dlebury High school, Miss Lucy Cyr of
the Burlington High school, Clyde
NJ. Hill, State Supervisor of Junior
High schools, Miss Sarah Nelson of
Randolph Center, Miss Ethel L. Osgood
of Bratteboro High school and others
were among the speakers. The topic
most generally discussed was the direct
method, and it is believed as a result of
the enthusiasm shown that the future
will see quite an extension of this
method in Vermont schools. 1t concerns
itself-as may be well known with oral
teaching directly in the foreign tongue
and practically abandons the old trans
ation method.
