help young people acquire initiative
al Il leadership.
There is such thing rs too much
activities in the schools outside of the
real work. The popular pupils are
given all the jobs of leadership, and
have too much to do. Others of a
more quite and reserved type are
longing for chance to do some
thing, but lack force or bluff to push
their way to the front
School pupils should never forget
that they are sent to school to learn
certain lessons. If they fail TO learn
tEem, hey not merely loose the bene-
fits of the lessons, but they get in a
way o. lodging responsibilities that
may affect their whole career.
But on the whole, it would seem
that the school authorities of North
eastern Vermont would do well not
to cultail such enterprises as the
school pupils wish to promote, but to
50 regulate them that every willing
and ambitious student gets chance
&c do aomething himself.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

The old time school devoted itself
to the study of books. 1t rarely got
up entertainments, and it did little IN
the way of athletics. The modern
school has an elaborate system OF
athletics, with school papers and
dances, and PLAYS and debates and
social life OF all kinds.
The parents whose children are
studious are apt to be disappointed
because their boys don't get on the
teams. And the parents of the ath-
letic boys often feel that their sons
give so much time to sport that pro
per attention is not devoted to then
le;l work.
Arc these outsidel activities tax
mg too much of the attention of the
modern school pupil?
Judging by the. general results, the
Young people are comm" out a bli"nt
and alert crowd. Athletics and other
enterprises may divert some atten-
to- from work, but they do much to

PEMEDIES FOR THE PAPER
SITUATION

The U. S. Senate committee that
hes been investigating the news print
shCrta &c, has made several sugges-
items. Among them is measure to
pea allie profiteering in paper, and
or. for experiments in substitutes
for wool pulp.
Equally practical was the sug-
gestion that an excise tax of 10 cents
be placed on Sunday papers issuing
editions of more than 80 pages.
There is no reason under the sun why
tn, press of the whole country should
be held up, so that whole forests of
pulp wood can be sacrificed each
week for the big metropolitan papers
svoller editions. If these papers
don't like the restriction, then let
them double their advertising rates,
so as 20 hold advertising down to a
level where it won't waste the paper

man Record has ever heard offered
Wa that in most places June is the
most favorable time to secure floral
dec Orati0ns.
II these times when costs are
high, many brides get married in the
most simple way, and cut out all the
frills and feathers. This is line of
policy heartily approved Of by most
blidegrooms and fathers in law. But
there is doubt if the bride is ever
quito satisfied with it.
The wedding day is really no more
mtlhcntous to her than to the BRIDE
groom. But women have kccncr eye
H.. the inner signilicances of things.
They see the poetry adding to the
event a glory not fully perceived by
mosaic man, who is thinking mostly
OF his new responsibilities, and how
he j. going to raise the money for car
pets and furniture.
The bride, her eyes fixed on the
misty future and the romance of the
event. wants the true emphasis given
II the event. Every bride thus longs
for beautiful wedding, worthy OF
the occasion, and floral decorations
from time immemorial have been the
means by which this touch of lmagl-
nation can be added. June, with It's
abundance of bloom. then seems the
ideal wedding month. The world is
clad for every bride who can use the
loneliness of nature to express her
col ception of the beauty and dignity
OF the nuptial ceremony.

though some of them are either the

posing as a business man who only
needs a sound sum to make millions"
many lead to happy unions.
There are, of course, fraudulent mar

WOMEN ACTIVELY AID
IN IRISH REBELLION
Declared They Surpass the Men in
Strength Of Feeling and
Determination.

Cable Service to The Star.
DUBLIN, December 25.-If you
ask any man from the Irish prov
inces or even from Dublin what
attitude the women take in the
present violent events in this coun-
country, the answer would be i'm
mediate and emphatic that the
women far outrun the men in
strength Of feeling and determine
ton to carry on the struggle to
a finish. The women have been of
very considerable value to the re-
bellion leaders in many capacities.
They have been able to act as
scouts and unsupported despatch
carriers.
Hitherto their sex has protected
them from search. but they can
now no longer rely on immunity
from search since on important
expeditions the military and police
parties bring female searcher
with them. Women have been
known to help in various little
engagements as auxiliaries. and
their enthusiasm In frequently n
valuable asset. 1t liz, of course, in
the commissariat department that
they are most valuable. When the
boys are going "out," their orders
invariably indicate how long tha
sortie will last, and rations are re-
quired accordingly. These tho
women usually supply.
Up to the present only ono
woman has had the distinction OF
being tried by court martial This
was Miss Anita Mcmahon OF Achill,
Ireland She was found guilty
and sentenced to six months i'm
prisonment without hard labor.

BUDAPEST, December 25.-A case
Of blackmail and torture which would
seem incredible were not the facts
fully confirmed by official declara-
lions, has been revealed by statements
in the Hungarian parliament. Two
wealthy Jews named Landau, were
arrested as spies. They were i'm
prisoned and blackmailed by several
persons, aided by officers and officials
who demanded a ransom Of 100000
crowns.
The Landau family had, however,
succeeded in transferring their money
to a safe place, The two captives were
then transferred to a secluded room
in the war ministry.
The elder Landau was forced to
drink large quantities of water, had to
stand on one leg for hours and was
burned on the body with a pointed
instrument. The old man was reported
to have committed suicide by hanging,
but 1t Is generally believed that he was
murdered to obliterate all trace. The
torturers have all been arrested, the
minister for war having expressed his
indignation and promised that justice
should be Jneted out.
