EMINENT SPEAKERS
AT OLD ROCKINGHAM
Director Barrett and Rev. DR.. Park
hurst Speak Mt Annual Gathering

Director Barrett and Rev. DIR. Park
hurst Speak mt Annual Gathering
The direct meaning to Vermont and
New England of what the speaker term
ed THE New America and the recon-
struction period that must inevitably
follow the world war. were Monday en-
phasized on the occasion of the annual
pilgrimage to the Old Rockingham
Church. by John Barrett, director gener-
al of the Pan American Union, the official
international organization in Washington
of the American republics, and formerly
United States Minister to Argentina.
Following the sermon by the eminent
divine. the Rev. DR.. Charles Fl. Park
hurst of New York city the lay address
was delivered by Director Barrett. who
is a native son of Vermont, born and
brought up in the adjoining town Of
Grafton. Coming especially from Wash
ington to speak. in response to the
invitation extended by his former neigh
bors and school-day associates, Mr..
Barrett said in part:
1T is fitting that, at the first annual
pilgrimage after the war to this sacred
and historic structure, we should give
particular attention to the new and add
ed responsibilities and opportunities be-
fore Vermont, New England, and Amer
lea. The situation concerns everybody of
| thinking age. 1t appeals to every
occupation. 1t involves the welfare,
happiness and safety alike of the most
| isolated hermit farmer or woodsman
living quietly back on the slopes of the
Green Mountains, and of the humblest
laborer in the crowded and busy in
dustrial centers OF New England.
|
appeal all the more to you. please bear
| In mind that the speaker addresses you
from the stand point both OF loyal YER
monter of nearly 800 years ancestry in
New England, and of plain servant of
yourselves and all the other peoples of
the Western Hemisphere as one whose
post of duty during the period of the
great war was in Washington the potiti-
| cal capital of the world varied by Of
fetal visits to the European allies and
the associated nations of South America
and to all sections of the United States
May | say, without boasting that
Will endeavor to give you, in referring to
national and International questions
not only my own opinion, but the subli-
mated and boiled down impressions gain
ed during the last few years, and
especially during the last six months
from conferences and discussions with
both the leaders and the rank and file OF
politics and diplomacy. business anc
finance, labor and capital. Some of thu
conclusions, which, therefore, ! respect
fully and humbly submit to you, as in
terpreting the great majority sentiment
of the hour, are the following;
1.-THE United States, and hence Vernon
and New England, will face greater
political, economic, and social problems
and changes during the next ten years
than they have in their entire previous
history"

STUDY OF TUBERCULOSIS
state Board OF Health Discusses In
veStigatiOns in Progress at Barre

One of the principal topics OF discussion
taken up at the monthly meeting Of the
State Board Of Health last evening was
the work which has recently been started
in Barre under the direction OF the
National tuberculosis association. re-
port of this work was given by Sylvester
Schattsmeider, who is in charge of the
investigations at Barre. under the COM
mittee of the National tuberculosis asso-
citation. of which F. l.. Hoffman of the
Prudential Life Insurance company is
chairman.
This work is an investigation into the
so-called dusty trades" of which the
granite trade is one of the most impor-
tant, and the study of conditions in this
trade has begun in Barre, as the first
of a long series of Investigations. An
intensive survey of the working condi-
tons in the shops, the living conditions
in the homes of the workmen, and the
general conditions under which the work.
ers live. with the influence which these
conditions tend to have on the health of
the workmen, will be carried out, in
order to get data regarding tuberculosis
in the granite trade.
Mortality statistics Of the State of per-
sons over Is years, for a period of ten
to % years back, are to be carefully
studied and such parts as are likely to
prove of value in the investigation will

surface, volume, density and surface
gravity are each about nine-tenths OF
that of the earth. 1t is surrounded by an
atmosphere which seems to be denser
than that of the earth and filled with

determine with certainty the character

character of its seasons.
The conditions = which we find here
seem to be better adapted for the
sustenance of life as we have it on earth
than those Of any other planet. To
determine actually whether or not life
actually exists on any planet seems at

observation. The comparison of condi-

at the surface and i'm the depths of the
sea and in the deep places Of earth. Yet
the kinds of creatures or planets in diff
ferent locations and conditions vary
widely. The conditions under which
some thrive are fatal to others and no
one kind can withstand all of the various
conditions. Certain limits of temperature
are necessary for the chemical COM
binations found in living matter to take
place. The higher forms of life are not
found except in rather narrowly restricted
conditions. Man does not attain and ap-
parently cannot retain a high intellectual
| capacity in either frigid or tropical
climates. The evidences remain of many
creatures which roamed upon the earth
in earlier times, but which became extinct
under the changed conditions. II life is
| found upon other planets, where the
conditions may naturally be expected to
be very different from those upon the
earth. the forms of that life would
probably be widely different from those
on the earth. The chances that man
could thrive or even live under the new
conditions would be small.
