How to Fell a Tree

How to Fell a Tree
Brownie Beaver could do many
things that other forest-people tex
cept his own relations) were not able
to do at all. For instance, cutting
down tree was something that nobo-
dy but one Of the Beaver family would
think of attempting. But as for
Brownie Beaver--if he ever saw a
tree that he wanted to cut down he
set to work ut once, without even
going home to get any tools. And
the reason for that was that he 81

More Truth Than Poetry
TO A LITTLE BOY AND GIRL
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

And so you think the robins child
Has not thing to do
But chrp and flutter, free and wild,
The happy hours through,
And bathe himself in crystal brooks
And fill the air with song,
While you must bend Ger lesson books
In school, the whole day long!
But you are wrong, my little friends,
For where the branches sway
The school the robins child attends
Makes yours seem merely play.
And if he fails to learn to fly
Or firmly clutch limb,
Old Mr.. Pussy Cat comes by
And that's the last of him.
And he must train his beady eye
For almost half year
With watchfulness to scan the sky,
When Old Man Hawk is near.
And oh the weary weeks of work
Before he knows the sound
That tells where worms-and dlnner-lurk
Beneath the grassy growad.
And if one lessons left unlearned
Out yonder in the wood,
Well-up his little toes are turned
And school is out for good.
The school the robins child attends
Is hard and stern and grim,
And not for worlds, my little friends,
Would you exchange with him!

WHY
Did Cinderella Have a Glass
Slipper?

Copyright, 1920. by the Wheeler
Syndicate. lnc)
Every child knows the story of
the little cinder-girl, the pumpkin
coach, the charming prince and
the glass slipper, but few persons
know that the last named element
of the story is a radical departure
from the original, and is due to
an error in the translation of the
French version of the fairy tale.
It is almost sacreligious to dis
turb the details of story which
has delighted millions of young
sters. but the fact remains that
the Cinderella of the French mar
rative wore lippers of fur, instead
of glass. In the original the slip
per is described as ,"pantouae en-
vair," but the translator, being
more familiar with the sound OF
the French language than the
sense of it, read vair (fur) as If
it were verre glass, and the
glass slipper has remained an in
tegral part of the tale from that
day to this. despite the very ap-
parent incongruity Of using any
thing as brittle and fragile as
glass for the manufacture OF
dancing shoes. But Cinderella's
slippers were the gift of her fairy
godmother--and fairies can un-
doubtedly make glass as COM
Portable and easy as fur.

GEORGE CHILDS RESIGNS.
Tap and Die Engineer to Engage in Elk
perimental Engineering

George A. Childs, who has been in the
mechanical engineering departm of
the Greenfield Tap and Die corporation,
has resigned his position and will engage
in experimental engineering in his own
interest, says the Greenfield Gazette. He
has spent a great deal of his spare time
of late in developing mechanical ideas to
the point of commercial value for out
side concerns and individuals, and he has
so much of this work now on hand that
il will require all of his time, He will
continue to make his home in Greenfield.
Mr.. Childs, who is II graduate of Shelf
field Scientific school of Yale college,
spent some years in Colorado following
his profession, and from that state went
to Brattleboro, where he was with the
Estey organ work for two years. During
this period he did great deal of work
on the plans for the celebrated organ
which the Esteys built for Henry Ford,
the motor magnatc. Since the corpora
ton started its magazine, "The Helix"
Mr.. Childs has been one of the leading
contributors to the art section. Readers
of the magazine will be pleased to know
that he is to continue that work.

TEACHER PROBLEM SERIOUS.
Brattleboro Teachers Association
Plans Meeting for Tuesday-Maine
State Agent to Speak.

Preparations are well under way for
n gathering to be held under the aus
pieces of the Brattlcboro Teachers as
ISOLATION Tuesday evening, May IS, in
the high school building for the pur
pose of creating deeper interest in the
question of young people training to
become teachers.
One of the principal features will be
an address by Miss Florence NJ Hale,
state agent of education in Maine, who
is speaker of great force. There also
will be four four minute speakers, who
are prominent citizens but who are not
teachers. The program also includes
community singing.
On account of the crisis of the
teacher situation in Brattleboro and
the rest of the state it was decided by
the local association to take some ac.
ton looking to the solution of the
problem, which seriously affects this
town. The town needs II new teachers
for next year, and so far as is known
| only five young people from this town
| are taking any training looking toward
| teaching.
1t is the belief of those in touch with
| the problems attending the securing of
competent teachers 1Or schools Ill the
state that each town should supply as
many young people for training each
| year as there are new teachers needed
in order to provide adequately the ed
ucational forces which are in such de-
mand. Since 1916 only five from Brat
| tlcboro have gone into the study.
The school building will be open
Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock in order
to give those attending the meeting al
opportunity to inspect a display OF
work done by pupils from the first
grade through the high school, which
will be on exhibition. The exhibit viii
include all kinds of school worl
and the athletic trophies which
have been won by the school
An interesting part of the exhibit viii
be the new shop work the boys have
done in the domestic science room

should tread; who declares the truth we
all should receive and cherish; and who
embodies in Himself that life which makes
the soul free and leads on to our eternity
of existence above.
Mr.. Woodwork presented the subject
for discussion embodied in the phrase,
Can we get Together" He referred nat
urally to a closer and more sympathetic
union of all Christian denominations, the
need Of such a union to combat the
evil abroad in the world, and spoke hope
fully of a time, not too long distant,
when such dream might be fulfilled All
joined in the conference that followed, en-
tnrng heartily and sincerely into the
treatment of a problem which is of special
interest at the present time.

ent at the meetings of the Congregational
conference which was held in the Cen
tire church this week.
