The Valley of Democracy, by Meredith
Nicholson.
Characterization of the Middle
West and its people by one who is him
self middle wcsterner. He writes of
social life, politics, the great resour-
ees and extraordinary development of
this section of the country in lively
and whimsical style, touching upon the
pecnllarities of the people, the attitude
| toward and influence of the war. He
gives the impression that the Middle
West IS more democratic than the East.
and taken all-in-all the book radiates a
spirit of optimism and confidence in
the future of that great section of the
United States. The chapter headings
are: The folks and their folksiness;
Types and diversions; The farmer of
the Middle West; Chicago; The Middle
West in politics; The Spirit of the
West.
1 Understanding South America, by CLAY
ton Sedgwiek Cooper.
A book written in the interests of
our after-war relations with South
America. While it is not devoted ex-
elusively to commercial relations, that
aspect of the situation is kept well
in the foreground. The book is free
from the spirit which regards Soutl
America chiefly as Il field of exploita
ton, and the author cautions against
an attitude of superiority or patronag,
in dealing with nations whose stand
ards and general estimate of life ar,
as distinct from ours as their languag
and their history.

Health Officers.
Barre Times.)

If there is to be district health officer
system in Vermont instead of the pres,
ent plan of having a health officer for
every community of sufficient size to sup.
port an official of that sort, it should fol.
low of course, that the cities OF the state
should constitute districts in and of them,
selves. For instance, Barre ought Ia
have health officer of its own and Mont
pelier ought to have an officer of its own
with each having jurisdiction, perhaps
over some of the outlying communities
These two cities are OF such size and the
requirements of the situations are such
that they should not be placed in the
same group because it would probably
be impossible for one official to carry on
the work efficiently; but one health off
Ger in each community might be able tc
cover some of the outlying districts with
out subjecting the public health Of the
communities to jeopardy In that case
the cost of supporting the officer would
be borne pro rata in order to make the
burden fall equitably. An arrangement
of that sort might be made to work out
as well as the system of experimenting
the public schools, although in the latter
ease Barre's school system is so large
that it takes the time of one man exclu-
siyely to attend to the work We would
not want TO make the mistake of over
loading one health officer and thus I'M
pair the efficiency Of the system.

OUR MONEY OR NOT.

If Brattleboro is not to forfeit for
all time what have come to be recop
nized as its rights under the will of
Thomas Thompson it must present a
united front in opposition to the amaz-
ing project of the Thompson fund
trustees as outlined elsewhere in this
issue of The Reformer.
The judicial decree defining the terms
of the Thompson viii says that if the
whole of the income of the fund is not
needed for the relief of the classes of
persons directly mentioned as bene-
ficiaries "the trustees shall apply such
surplus to kindred charitable purposes
in each of said towns in the same pro
! portions (two-thirds in Brattleboro and
onc-third in Rhinebeek) as necessity
may require, or elsewhere
In line with policy which they have
followed for some time the Thompson
fund trustees have construed this
Iclause to mean that they have the
right, after spending what they think
necessary to meet the needs Of the di
rect benefciaries, to use the balance OF
the money wherever they see fit, wheth
er it be in Brattleboro, Rhinebeck Of
Kalamazoo. In asking the courts Of
Massachusetts, for instructions on thi
point they give notice to Brattlebor,
that hereafter, barring judicial instruc
tons to the contrary, the amount ex
pended for kindred charitable purpose
in this town viii not be governed b,
existing needs, but by "what the PEG
pie of Brattleboro themselves do in civ
ing such service and money as is usual
ly given by the people of similar town
for such purposes.
In other words, the trustees ask to b
allowed to spend the bulk of the in
come of the Thompson trust whereve
and for whatever purpose they see fl
AT least, their proposition has the meri
of frankness.
The Reformer has no intention of en-
4 gaglng at this time in an argument wit
the trustees concerning wisdom o
their proposed course. 1t agrees wit
Mr.. Bradley that "the question o
right comes first" and that ''peopl
are not inclined to discuss their dutie

regarding their rights"
