THE BRANDON SCHOOL,
Bennington Banner

The investigation of the Brandon
school for deficient children seems
to have petered out and as far as can
be judged from the newspaper re-
ports the school has been cleared of
the criticism to which ii has been
subjected The school for unfortunate
children at Brandon is the newest
of the State institutions and YER
mont wants it to perform its full
service without reproach or stigma of
any kind. However much il may be
regretted there are occasional cases
of cruelty and inhuman treatment
wherever the poor, the insane, the
prisoners or the mentally deficient
are cared for at the public expense.
No matter how careful is the super
vision it will occasionally happen that
keepers or attendants will be employed
who are unfit for the duty intrusted to
them and this kind of persons will mis-
treat the unfortunate ones placed in
their charge. All that can be done is to
use every possible precaution and dis
charge such employees as soon as their
real character is discovered, Superin-
tendent Russell at the Brandon school
came to the State highly recommended.
Doubtless he still has things to learn,
but the evidence brought out at the
hearing indicates that he is earnestly
trying to do his duty. The splendid
farm there can probably do more toward
the support of the school than it has in
the past, but the State must not eX-
pect too much at the start.

WRENCH AND HAMMER REPLACE
TOMAHAWK AND ARROW.

Almost on the very site of some of
the bitterest wars waged century age
by his ancestors in defence of their
hunting grounds, the American Indian
today helps the pale face build his
"devil wagon"
Just few miles from Fort Meigs,
Fort Miami and some of the other bat
tie grounds of "Tippecanoe" Harrison,
MAD Anthony" Wayne. Tecumseh,
and other warlike leaders of another
day, is the main factory of The WHY'S
Overland company, one of the most i'm
portant units of the automobile in
dustry.
In this factory are score of full
blooded Indians Chippewas, Navojos,
Iroquois, Pomos, Pueblos-sent there by
Uncle Sam from their western reserva-
tons to learn another Of the trades of
the white man.
And these Indians are taking to their
training like so many ducks to water.
They are very interested in learning
what makes the wheels of the automo-
bile go round.
A dozen redskins are assigned to
various duties in the assembly of one of
the Willys-O Overland models.
One pair aids in chassis assembly;
another pair assemblies wheels; five of
them are engaged in final assembly;
while still others work on running
boards, etc.
Instead of being confined permanently
to one operation, they are shifted every
few months from task to task, in order
to give them general practical know
ledge of motor car construction, such as
is required by good mechanics, garage
men and automobile repair men.
1.-THE work of the Indians is a source
of much satisfaction to u.s." says the
foreman of their department. "The
Indians we have are among our most
willing, most accurate and most pains
taking workmen.
go top this off they are very am
bilious and are reading every bit of
literature they can find in connection
with their work, in order to acquire a
better knowlede of the relation of their
own particular task to the manufacture

A CLEAN STATE.

e With only l6 towns and cities voting
for license Vermont will continue to be a
pretty clean State so far as the saloon
is concerned this coming year. The
change from 80 towns for license
when the local option law went into eff
feet in 1903 is remarkable. At least
two or three of the towns returning
a yes vote Tuesday will not grant Ii
censes. The saloon will be restricted
to the larger centers of population like
Burlington, Rutland, Barre, St. Adams
and Bennington, where the enforcement
of strict prohibition law is difficult,
and to few towns where the local con-
ditions are peculiar. What the friends
of prohibition ought to do in the future
is to devote their energies to banishing
the saloon in the II to Ia towns where
it will be entrenched in 1917. We be-

presented and highly applauded by an
audience, the interest of which was held
from start to finish The entertain
ment consisted of singing by the glee
club and quartet, cornet solos, vocal
solos, instrumental music by an orches-
ira composed Of several pieces, and a
mandolin club, tricks bya clever ma
gician and Rin making by the so
called rambling four" The towns
were indeed fortunate to have
brought to their doors an entertain
ment such as was presented by the Mid
dlebury College men and much credit is
due the Fortnightly club and the Mems
club for the effort which they put
forth to secure a date for the occasion,

PENSION FOR RECTORS.

ADMINISTRATION of what team work will
do is found in the pension fund just
raised for retired rectors of the Protest
ant Episcopal church. The raising of this
fund was started one year ago, Bishop
Lawrence of Massachusetts giving up
his whole time to it. Five million dollars
was the amount that was to be raised
to put the fund and all going with it on
a business basis. The amount has now
reached Sc, 500, 600. This was accom-
plshed by all taking hold and doing
what they could. A minister who has
gone through long service for the
common good should be protected when
old age comes along This is splendid
piece of constructive work, and all
honor to those who have given of their
time and energy to bring it about. 1t
is pleasant thought to know that
faithful service in the church will at
last be recognized in that comfort is to
be assured to those who have given
their life to bring good to others.

CATCH YOUNG DEsPERADoEs.

CATCH YOUNG DESPERADOES.
The municipal court at White River
Junction took on very war-ike appear
ance when Officer Daley of North Har-
land unloaded an assortment of four
loaded revolvers, 100 shells, seven or
eight dirks, stillettos and other articles
taken from the pockets of four lads
whom he and Chief Degman of that
place took into custody at Hartland
station after they had broken into the
Stevens bungalow in Hartland. They had
made themselves at home by lighting a
fire and using the beds One of the lads,
who calls himself "Nick" was but IA
years old and looked less. However, he
was not too small to appropriate an
overcoat from the bungalow. The boys
were all young and gave their place of
residence as Hartford, Conn. They said
they wanted to see the West in reality
instead of in the movies and were max
ing their way there hobo style. They
thought, of course, that the revolvers
and other weapons were necessary for
the trip. The youngest of the crowd
was adopted" by Officer Daley until
word could be received from his par
ents. The other three were lodged in
the comfy jail at Woodstock to await
the further action of the authorities.
