Vermont Rural
Dental Clinics

The schools of the Essex
North District under the super
vision of Bates E. Slower are
being visited by the state board
of Education and Health, un-
der the direction of DR. D. S.
Darling. These clinics are be-
coming widely known through
out the state and have bought
great deal Of benefit to child
rem in rural districts. They
are supported by fund of mo-
ney placed in the hands of the
board of education by the proc
tor family of Proctor, vt. The
aim is to impress school child
rem with the value of regular
dental attention and the necess
ity of coral prophylaxis to nor
NAL health.
The operator enters a school
district or town and establishes
and Office, carrying the necess-
ary equipment in an automobile
lie receives the children by
appointment from all of the
surrounding schools. The par
ents merely give their written
consent and the child receives
thorough and modern treat
ment at no expense whatever
being also provided with tooth
brushes to continue the good
/ work.
1t is significant to know that this
work is heartily supported by all
state authorities, and it is believed
that it will be only short time be-
fore it is made an official organiza-
ton of the state.
The clinics come to this section
with a record Of good work in all
/ T. ints Of Vermont, for besides oper-
ating in the rural Districts, the elm
les are held in the different state in
dustrial school at Vergennes where
$50 inmates were treated; also at the
tuberculosis Preventorium at Essex
junction.
This is the first appearance of the
dental clinics in this section of the
state. DR.. Darling has done excel
lent work at Bloomfield and the chill
dren say that it doesn't hurt much

The Opening of School

The resumption of class work in our schools
suggests that the pupils bend to their tasks at
once, on the theory that you never make up"
efficiently what you lose by ideness in the early
part of the term.
Many pupils believe they neglect studying
their lessons for four and five weeks and succeed
in examining hard enough to make up for the lost
time before the examinations. This is folly.
Failure to grasp studies early in the term is al
most suicidal as far as good scholarship is con-
cerned
Close attention to instruction and diligent
study are the only roads to in school.
You may be able to make up part of the work and
pass your examinations, but you never can re-
cover the work you sighted.
Some pupils believe their companions succeed
because they are "bright' and "smart". But
often the real reason why they make good grades
is because they begin studying when the term
opens and do not quit until the last class is dis
missed at the end of the term. A pupil of av-
erage mentality who pays close attention to the
book carefully will succeed.
The beginning of the term is the time to pre-
pare for the good grades. Do not wait two or
three weeks before you begin studying hard.
Do it now, and you will not have to work hard,
but day by day will be mastering the hard and
knotty points of the course. If you solve each
perplexing problem it arises, you will go
through the term without much trouble and vexa-
tion

J. MITCHELL, FORMER
PRESIDENT OF Mine
WORKERS, IS DEAD

NEW YORK, Sept. 10-John Nit
chell, former president of the United
States Mine Workers of America, and
one of the most widely known labor
leaders in the United States, died at
five o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the
Post Graduate hospital.
Mr.. Mitchell was only 40 years old.
Although he underwent an operation
ten days ago for the removal of gall
stones, his condition had been reported
as entirely satisfactory and his death
was wholly unexpected by his friends.
Since 1915 Mr. Mitchell had been
chairman of the New York state in
dustrial commission. He also served
as president of the State Food Com
mission, chairman of the Federal food
board, president of the New York state
council of farms and markets and as
a member of the Federal Milk COM
mission for the Eastern states. While
his Office was in New York, his home
was in Mt. Vernon.
Mr.. Mitchell was born in Braidwood.
Ill, Feb. 4. 1870, the son of Robert and
Martha Mitchell.
At the age of II years he began
work in the coal mines, obtaining his
education by studying at night. He
soon developed an interest in labor
problems, and 4 deep sympathy for
workers in the coal mines.
Feeling that some time he would be-
come a champion of the laboring mans
cause, he began the study of law, but
soon gave it up to perfect his know
ledge of economies and labor ques-
tons.
During his strenuous life as a labor
leader and organizer, Mr.. Mitchell
found time to write numerous books
on the subject nearest his heart. A.
mong his works were ORGANIZED La
Dor. Its Purpose and Ideals" and The
Wage Garner and His Problems"
Mr. Mitchell is survived by his
widow, a daughter Katherine and
three sons.

mitted the German government to obtain the
supplies necessary for the alienation of this
misery. Isolated cases of starvation may be
found but those are to be found everywhere.

some families are not near the starvation line,

of starvation sent out from Germany, we must
weigh carefully the reports of our correspond
ents who found conditions far from perilous, a
fact which our returned. doughboys substantiate
fully.
Viereck is trying to make money on the side.
For every dollar sent him, he exacts his share of
the profits in handling the foodstuffs. New
York papers who have investigated the scheme
say the entire department is organized on COM
nercal basis. Charitably inclined persons will
serve themselves by ignoring Viereck's appeal

Who Won the War?

The real victor of the World War will be the

Viereck Again

George Sylvester Vierecks activities before
and during the war in behalf of Germany still
fresh in our memory. Editor of the Father
land, violently pro-German organ prior to the
and later changed to "Vierecks American
Monthly" he was rightly considered tool Of the
Pan-Gerran party Some of the methods en-
poyed in the last five years to make money came
in for deserved censure
Here's his latest scheme. In heart-touching
terms Viereck pictures the misery and starvation
of the German people. He appeals to citizens of
German origin to help their starving relatives in
Germany. Through the Feed Germany Depart
ment" of his corporation, Viereck says he has
made arrangements to get supplies to the suffer-
ers. Packages of foodstuff costing from SIS to
$50 each will be forwarded Ostensibly the
scheme has a charitable aspect. In reality it is
a commercial venture to make money for himself
and his company. Viereck is engaging in the
business of buying and transporting food as a
side line to his editorial work.
Investigations made by American correspond
ents show that the alleged suffering of the Ger
man people must be accepted with reservations.
In some parts of Germany, the people are in need
