A Saving Which Results in Loss.
Rutland News.

The BrattlebOro school board has TAX
en- step in the right direction. An
extra tax will be asked in order to paw
the teachers of the schools from fftv
to hundred dollars more per year.
Vermont is notorious for the small
amount of compensation paid to those
persons to whom is entrusted the in
stilling of knowledge, and often the
social and moral attitude of the cominp
citizens of the state.
The attitude in the past has been
that most anyone would do to instruct
ones children if she could only be pro-
cured at low enough salary. Girls have
often been taken directly from their
graduation from the high school and
placed IN the public schools as teachers
This is a great mistake, because the
best is none too good when it comes to
being trainer and moulder of Young
minds. A young woman needs the polish
and wider experience gained from at
tending one of the higher institutions
of learning. There should be more in
teaching than simply grinding out the
work contained within the covers of
the text books.
Many children come into the schools
who have few opportunities for the OBJ
servation Of the true courtesies which
go to make up the real pleasure of liv-
ing. Therefore, a teacher, who has
spent some years among young wom-
en- gathered from the four corners of
the country and has been associated
with instructors whose minds are alive
to the culture and refinement of the
day, must be better fitted to preside
over young minds than girl who
knows nothing but her own small town
talk and manners.
Children are the greatest imitators in
the world, and if teacher is neat,
elegant and kindly and dispenses gen
eral information along with "book
learning" the pupils soon arc inspired
to be gracious and wish to stand well

in their studies and to know of what is
happening in the world at large
There is saving which is purely
wasting. and in the matter of instruct
ors of the young this has been the pol
icy in altogether too many states, Of
which Vermont stands in the front of
such limeight showing. For instance,
Rutland in the past has allowed many
of the finest teachers in the high school
to leave rather than meet the wages
which these instructors could procure
elsewhere. 1t has sometimes happened
too, that the board has been obliged TO
in the end, pay the sum asked by the
former teachers who had received high
er wages elsewhere.
Last year a number of the faculty
left and those who signed their con
tracts and "stood by" received less
than the teachers who were hired at the
last moment to fill vacancies at Tho
emergency price demanded. This die
not seem quite just to the old force.
The whole situation would be cleared
up if the city paid living wage in tho
beginning.

Lawlessness of Youth.

Greenfield Gazette and Courier.)
Many town residents who take pride
in their gardens complain of the law
lessness of youth, as illustrated in the
breaking down of fences and the steal
ing of flowers and fruit, to say nothing
of the destruction caused by running
across the gardens and lawns. One
good housewife, who has suffered in this
respect, recalls the strict bringing up of
children in this respect in the days
when she was child Today too much
of the Indifferent spirit of youth is
overlooked if not acquiesced in. An in
stance is noted of small boy pounding
on a window sill with hammer, leav-
ing an unsightly mark with each blow.
An observer demonstrated with the
child, calling his attention to the dam
age being done. The mother carelessly
remarked "Oh, let him do it. We hire
the house and are soon to move to an
other place. Such abuse of property
mot only makes rents higher but chill
dren brought up in that manner natural
ly have little regard for the property
rights of others and are unconsciously
|encouragers to lawlessness which often
lends with a session in the district

Have Hanging List
Bennington Banner.)

According to the New York Tribune
a statement was issued on Tuesday by
the officials of the socialist party in
New York that the Left Wingers, or
Bolshevist Socialists, had already
made up hanging list composed of
men actively opposed to Bolshevism.
One of the foremost names in the list,
according to the Tribune is that of
John Spargo, of Old Bennington. Mr..
Spargo has been in the foreground of
the fight against Bolshevism in this
country. Another prominent name in
the list is that of Morris Hillquist, the
Socialist party leader, with whom Mr..
Spargo broke when the party decided to
oppose the war.

Teachers Salaries.
(Rutland Herald.)

Reports from various towns in Yer
mont that greater part of the teach
ing stats in the public school will not
return for the fall terms is Indicative
of the success of the campaign of the
National Education association for
higher salaries for teachers. Twelve
states report the passage of laws ma
terially increasing teachers salaries
and the inducements held out to instruc
tors take teachers from. other states,
Vermont naturally being drawn upon in
this respect.

THE TREATY OF PEACE.

"The treaty as signed makes a new
world politically, physically, morally
and spiritually. 1t has set the world
upon a new path of progress. 1t marks
the triumph of American ideas, policies
and institutions by extending to a
league of sovereign nations the demo
cratic principles first embodied in our
league of sovereign states. The
World Peace Foundation.
Together we have fought to happy
end. Together we lay down our arms
in proud consciousness of valiant deeds
nobly done. king George to Presi-
dent Wilson.
cit liberates great peoples who have
never before been able to find the way
to liberty. 1t ends once for all an old
and intolerable order under which small
groups of selfish men could use the peo-
pie of great empires to serve their own
ambition for power and dominion. 1t
associates the free governments of the
world in a permanent league in which
they are pledged to use their united
power to maintain peace by maintain
ing right and justice.-President Will
son.
"'The Shantung affair is perhaps the
most complete breakdown in the history
of treaty making. China was our ally.
She went into the war upon our advice
and upon the assurance of our govern
ment that she would be fully protected
in her rights at the peace conference.
Now we have not only, like
Saul of old, consented to the crime, but
we have agreed by the league of ma
tions, to underwrite it and to perpetuate
it. We have pledged our material
wealth and, if need be, the American
boys to the end that Japan. member
of the league, shall continue in her pos
sessions thus acquired. SENATOR
Borah.
While the above views are conflicting,
they may be said to be correct In
Europe and the near east the treaty of
peace appears to be all President Wilson
and the World Peace Foundation say it
is, and we may reasonably hope for con-
tinued peace and justice. But in the
far east injustice has been done to China
and the treaty endorses the policy of
conquest and annexation of Japan. 1t
increases the menace of Japan and I'M
doubtedly will hasten the inevitable con-
hict for supremacy in the Pacific ocean.

1t is now learned through Brigadier
General William Mitchell, who is in
charge of aviation operations in the war
department, that the liberty motor, her
aided as such success during the war
is not at all desirable and that the De
Haviland plane is not a good airship
The Liberty motor works well only in
low attitudes and the gas tank in the
plane is not properly protected from
fire caused by bullets. The pilot and
the observer are too far apart in the
machine This indicates that America
is one of the backward nations in war
air service and that the millions used
in experimenting with this service have
been practically wasted. Despite its
demonstrated inefiiciency the war de-
partment boldly calls for more millions
to continue its pottering in this promi-
nent scientific endeavor. 1t seems
strange that with such efficient work by
private airplane constructors the gov
eminent cannot effect more progress

Phosphates
Delayed Applications
OF Fertilizers

Lack Of labor on the farm, unfavor-
able weather at planting time, conges-
ton ON railways and consequent delays
10 shipments, may prevent the full and
proper amount of fertilizer being ap-
piled to the crop at time Of planting.
LATE APPLICATIONS PAY
A late application of fertilizer as a
side dressing to rowed crops, or as a
top-dressing for other crops, is often
quite as effective as when applied at
planting or seeding time.
Certainly it is much better and wiser
TO make the delayed fertilizer applica-
tion in this way than to attempt to
grow crop with no fertilizer at all, or
with less than the usual quantity. Re
member that fertilizer conserves farm
labor by making it more productive.
The big problem is to apply the fertiliz-
er with the least possible amount of
labor, but at such time, and in such
a way, as to make it most effective.
