VERMONT BOYS
and GIRLS WORK
Raised 57,546 Bushels Of
Potatoes Under Direction
of School Super.

Reports of results of the food CAM
paign conducted by the Educational
Department Of Vermont have been re-
ceived from 81 of the Sc superintend-
ents of the state and show the fol-
lowing remarkable results. Sixty-one
superintendents report 1922 pupils
engaged in successful gardening.
Forty-ninel superintendent report 929
boys and. girls excused from high
school to work on the farms during
the spring and fall Of 1917. The pu-,
pills engaged in gardening raised 81,
SAG bushels Of potatoes and 5,925
bushels of beans. At present market
prices. this. has a value of over 500,
060 Garden vegetables were extern
sively raised, the nearest estimate
based on reports being considerably
over 10000 bushels, Reports as to
canning done by the pupils, show
that in 81 districts, the boys and girls
principally girls. put up 34,723 quart
cans of vegetables and fruit. This
was actually exceeded because the re-
naming 50 districts had kept no rec
ord, but reported extensive canning
done.
The actual number of pupils en-
gagged in gardening as result of the
appeal of the State Committee of
Public Safety and under the super
vision of the State Department of
Education, was over $4,000, but the
above report is based only upon
known results.
The efforts of the boys and girls
have brought to the state. food to
the value of over $3.50, 900 involving
n money expenditure on the paIt of
the state committee of $4,000 to which
must be added the sums of money
raised by local committees, and de-
voted to the work of the boys and
girls. This sum was also supplement
cd Miss Proctor, who paid the ex-
penses of a woman demonstration in
canning.
Good Work of superintendent.
The credit for the fine achievement
of the boys and girls of Vermont lies
next to themselves, to the school SUI
perintendents of the state. Every
one of these superintendent returned
from the meeting at Montpelier, call
ed by Commissioner Hillegas and de-
voted himself ungrudgingly to this es-
pecial task of helping to win the war.
These superintendents have toiled day
and night. gone without vacations,
paid their own expenses, and produc-

these snperintendents were the faith

Many Pig Clubs.

In several districts Pig Clubs were
organized under the patronage of To-
cal banks which furnished the money
for the purchase of the pig and Of
Tered prizes to the children having
the best success in raising their pigs.
In another district two high school
girls worked on the farm during the
summer to supplement the shortage
OF labor This is typical of what was
done very generally throughout the
state. In still another district, the
boys and girls were paid for their
services in the school gardens with
meal tickets for school luncheons.
The products of the garden were
sufficient to Largely supply the school
lunches for the year. In another
part of the state, lad of II years,
a victim of poliomyelitis, linped to
his gardens of half acre each and
axcelled in the care of them even
though they were nearly a mile from
his home
Instances of this sort of service
rendered largely in a spirit of pa
triotisrn could be cited by the score.
One of the outstanding features is
the repeatedly expressed wish on the
part of the superintendents and
teachers that the same work be un-
dertaken another year.

Principal Davis Speaks.


Mr.. Davis covered some of the
most important changes that have
taken place during the past rs years,
including among others the increased
number of secondary schools, the
eorrespondingly increased number OF
pupils attending such schools, part
of which is due to the free tuition
from towns themselves not support
ing high schools; the cooperation OF
Industrial courses for boys: the re-
suits that may come from the Smith
Hughes bill, bringing Federal aid for
states that can meet requirements;
more accurate data in records and
reports showing slow or rapid pro-
gress of students; work of physicians
and medical inspector, comparing
physical growth and. school progress;
and supervised study carried on by
the teacher in charge of classes, re-
sulting in more intelligent work at
less expense of the pupils time.
Pamphlets and. books were passed
around among the guests. of interest

Individual Accomplishments.


The value of this work cannot be
wholly estimated in. dollars and cents
or even in bushels of food when food
is scarce. It has brought the boys
and girls close to the vital side of
life. AS an example of this, one boy
nine years old sold from a garden
of 480 square feet vegetables to the
amount of $1,000. Another boy rails
ed from a single potato 81 pounds of
potatoes. In one district 46 boys
from the high school earned as farm
taborers. the sum of $3,368.21, and q
high school girls earned in farm
homes $530.25. In another part of
the state, a school garden of one
third of an acre was planted and
from it there was harvested 47A
bushels of potatoes, sou quarts of
beans and 10 bushels of other vege-
tables. In this school are some poor
children who are underfed. The
teacher is using the products of the
school garden to provide warm
lunches for these children, the cook
ing to be done in the school on an
oil stove. One district reports that
only two absolute failures were found
lmong the 297 pupils who enrolled
for gardening last spring.

Throughout the period of the subma- rine warfare the enlissaries of shame less Germany have frequently display GU this same brutal disregard for hu man life. Life boats filled with shrink ing pussen gers, male and female, have been repeatedly shclled while fleeing for safety from their sinking ship.

To associate them with a race of men which has undergone centuries of breeding, amid the uplifting influ- ences of civilization and the soul stir ring teachings of Christianity was quite beyond the ordinary conception. Yet is has remained for the Germans to display 70 the aStonished eyes of humanity that savagcry is not solely the attribute of the races which still live in the depths of mental darkness and follow only the animal instincts implanted in the breast of plimeval humanity. No race of savagcs dwell ing in the depths of the African jungle could cxcel the s.Iva9 9cry and barbar-

In sending group of specialists in
infant welfare to France the American
Red Cross is taking up still another i'm
portant phase of relief work called for
by the European war. The death rate
in France is now more than double the
birth rate. Even before the war the
birth rate scarcely held its own with the
death rate. Under present circum-
stances it is important to help France
save every baby that is born there. The
American group of workers will cooper
ate with French specialists and will en-
gage in a campaign of education among
| French mothers lin the interest of bet
ter prenatal hygiene and scientific feed
ing and care of the babies. = Physicians
and nurses in this service will practic,

tion from the parents. DR.. William P

dropped bombs upon them, killing and
wounding nurses and attendants. In
these hospitals there were German sol
diers receiving the same humane treat
ment as the soldiers of France. BY all
civilized nations, the Red Cross emblem
is kept inviolate. 1t is shield against
hostile attacks. The acts of these two
German aviators were not warfare, they
were murder. Such murders have been
continually taking place since Germany
made war, but on her side alone
On their return to their own lines, in
stead of being acclaimed, as they I'M
doubtedly will be, these two German
aviators ought to be executed. What
do all the mouthings of the kaiser
amount to in the face of the record
What Justice and mercy could nations
expect, who came under his sway? The
inhumanity of these German aviators is
in the soul of the German emperor and
the stain has reached the soul of the
German people. 1t is why they are
called barbarians and Huns, why they
are now outside the pale of civilization

Women in Warfare.
(Syracuse Post Standard.)

(SyracuSe IoSt-Standard.
Russia has a battalion of women in
its army, officered by women, who have
proved their bravery, their discipline
and their power of endurance. Women
are not accepted in other armies of
Europe, but in each of them some women
have sought to enlist as men. 1t is of
record that one American woman went
with her husband to France as private.
Her sex was discovered after her ar
rival and she was sent home.
A New York magazine, the Porcu-
pine, finds from the muster rolls of the
Civil War that these women enlisted
in the armies and went to the front:
Forty-Sixth Pennsylvania, Company
| D. Charles ID. Fuller; detected as being
woman; discharged.
One hundred and Twenty Sixth Penn
sylvania, Company F-Sergeant Frank
Mayne; killed in battle and discovered

battles, but proved to be woman; real

/ TwentySixth North Carolina &C. s.
Al Company F-Mrs. L. NJ Blaylock

War. 1t is not unlikely that among
its soldiers still undetected are some

sure he had that from knowing so
much!
After they had talked for some time,
all the frogs called on Grandpa Frog
to speak. Now Grandpa Frog had
made up his speech beforehand, but
he pretended he thought it was a
great surprise and that he really
couldn't speak on such short notice.
OF course when the frogs insisted and
said he must speak, up he got on a
stump and began.
His speech was so long and he
thought of so many more things to
say as he went along that he did not
stop until Grandma Frog made signs
to him that supper was ready. But
all the frogs voted that a meeting
was fine thing to have where there
were speeches-and a supper-in fact
they liked almost any excuse for q
good support
