Economic Unity Plus
Real Fellowship

These girls, the finest Of whom
have been the inspiration of the
garment workers of the country,
are a remarkable group, and their
psychology repays careful study at
this time, when the world is filled
with upheavals. They are building
up spirit of fellowship and
sisterhood on some other basis
than that of hours, wages and
hatred OF. their employer. They
crave something more than econ
omic unity. They want their or
ganiZation to afford them a larger
vision of life, real happiness and
contact with what great artists and

and demonstrated their ability to
make such venture really go. The
trouble has been to find one large
enough. Even this one, which &C
commodities 500 guests, is not ade
quate. If every girl goes out for
one week during the next four
months only about 5000 will be
able to secure rooms. The plan is
to add to the dozen cottages now
in the park until there are enough
to meet the demand.

writer's have given to the world.
About 70 per cent of the girls
are Jewish and 20 per cent Italian,
races eager to know and to feel.
They want contact with nature, too,
and now, thank God! they're go
ing to have it. AS one little girl
at the union headquarters said,

The first woman ever appointed
to sit as a member of lunacy COM
mission.
"And we WISH" says "The Star
Bulletin" ito go The World one
better and add another first to the
list: She is first in the hearts of
many men who have paid their debt
10 the state and gone their way-a
better way, in many instances, be-
cause of her disinterested helpful
ness"
Mrs. Baright has worked out a
bill to be presented to the next
Legislature having as it's object the
creating of great state farm for
mental derelicts, but the biggest
fight at present is this one growing
directly out Of her work in the Chill
dren's Court.

do you realize" said she, that
there are 100000 natjve-born men
and women in the Uni&1l States
who can neither read nor write? Do
you know that in the war draft
alone there were 100000 illiterate
grown men? There are schools
which do not teach English; each
state has its own educational sys-
tenn"

said I.
"1t's the misuse of surplus en-
ergy that gets most youngsters into
trouble" she replied. II hope, with
the cooperation of women, to insti
tute an educational system which
will recognize this. The fight for
us women is to get international
labor laws, the lettering of the
schools, the removal of illiteracy
care Of mental detectives and the
changing of prison laws. These are
the things for women to understand.
If the man in prison for thirty-nine
years had had these things he
wouldn't be there now"
Mrs. Baright is on the board of
the Society for the Aid of Mental
Detectives and is a trustee of the
Toynbee House Settlement.
Another point which Mrs. Baright
makes very strongly and from her
personal experience with cases in
the Children's Court is that the cdu-
cation of parents is quite as impor-
tant as that Of the children, for one
cannot be conducted without the
other To give children compulsory
education while the parent is an
tagonstic is but adding to the bur-
dens Of the child.

Practical Experience and High
Ideals Behind This Venture

Thus after three years of work
ing together and managing their
summer hotels they do not enter
into this Forest Park experiment as
amateurs. A knowledge of the
ideals behind this big cooperative
experiment serves to give the stu
dent of present industrial condi-
tions conception of the integral
ing forces behind the venture.
Probably no summer hotel has ever
had more idealism put into its man
agement and life than this new
Unity House, which has room to ex-
pand indefinitely.
There will be men there, as well
as girls, for there are some men in
the union, and there will be proper
accommodation and amusements

down at the folder Of their coopera
tive hotel at Forest Park. "Look
at that great forest. How beauti-

AS we have already indicated the fact
that numerous Vermont boys are enlist

service indicates their appreciation Of the
patriotic demands indicated by Senator
Page. We believe the failure of more men
to respond to the opportunity to qualify
themselves for better service and more
speedy promotion by securing a special
education is due largely to the fact that

sistence by the federal government. Uncle
Sam needs publicity department to edu-

do so under the best possible conditions,
and under auspices that promise the great
est possible usefulness and the most graft
flying recognition in the way of compen-
sation and promotion.

THE OLD WATER WAGON

How dear to my heart is the old fash
toned notion
OF sprinklng the street that's In front
of my door.
The old water wagon, the water pipes
nigh 1t
love as I never have loved It before.
The reason for all Of this sudden devotion
Is easy for one who can see and can
smell;
gaze at my stoop and my kids at play
by 1t,
And sigh for the wagon that did very
we'll.
The old barrel wagon. the old fashioned
wagon.
The old water wagon that did very we'll.
How cooling and sweet I was wonted to
find it
In the heat. when 1t passed like fresh
ening rain
And the moist. fragrant street like a
ribbon behind it
Glistened and cleaned with it's bath from
Champlain.
Now the streets plastered up with a
mixture from Somewhere
With something that somebody"
wanted to sell
w ndteVeT you call IL, VOW It's rum
ware
And wish for the wagon that did very
we'll.
The old barrel wagon. the old fashioned
wagon,
The old water wagon that did very well.
To clean up the tracking hopelessly
battle.
My temper and carpets are lost in the
strife.
And the man whose car skids with a pre-
July rattle
Is likely to lose both his temper and life.
My fancy reverts with increasing devo-
ton
To the old fashioned method that really
was SWELL
To sprinkle with water is Dame Natures
notion
And the old lady finds that it does very
well.
So bring out the wagon. the old fashioned
wagon.
The old water wagon that did very we'll.

therefore, concerns all of our homes. 1t

Owing to the difficulty of securing ade-

disposition to dispense with diaries and
depend on crops that will require the hir-

which all classes must help to counter
act, or 1t will seriously interfere with

Effect Vermont's reputation as a great

influences may not be readily manifest

MILITARY AND NAVAL TRAINING

Young men of Vermont are appreciat-

naval service as never before in time

the large number of young men enlisting.
Some Of these manifestly do not realize
the extent to which their chances Of
speedy promotion would be improved by
a course in the United States military or
naval academy for the service in ques-
ton This is evidenced by the difficulty
United States Senator Carroll S. Page is
experiencing in securing applications for
scholarships. as indicated by a letter sent
out to the high schools and academies Of
Vermont urging the heads of those insti-
tutions to impress upon their students the
wonderful opportunities for securing an
education afforded by appointment to
scholarships in these United States
schools. In the course of his letter Sena-
tor Page says:
For several years past I have found 1t
extremely difficult to secure competent
young men whom might appoint to the

Academy at Annapolis.

mental, moral and spiritual development.
When we made ii crime TO sell intoxi-

and very practical step in the direction Of

ence combined to the winning of wars.
