and free. at least, from other defects as
serious as those we try to avoid.
These excerpts clearly show the state
board of education has full power to
change the number of union superintend-
ents employed by the state and it can, if
it deems wise, install a certain number
of district superintendent with a sufh-
cient number of assistants TO give sufh-
cient aid to the teachers in the public
schools. Undoubtedly the educational
authorities are prepared to give the
members of the legislature reasons why
the employment of 50 many superintend-
ents is advisable and they should not be
Indifferent to suggested changes made in
good faith by those desiring the greatest
economy practical in the conduct of the
educational system of the state.
1t is probable there are no greater de-
fects in the management of state educa-
ton under the present system than there
would be under other systems and the
people must not allow themselves to be
unduly prejudiced against it by those
/ who are attempting to revive certain re-
jected educational institutions of the
state.

The Municipal Judgeship.
Londonderry, Sifter.l


The. Reformer speaks of the Municipal
Judgeship as being of Brattleboro, and
one of the qualifications of the candidate
is that he should live in Brattleboro.
However, this is not the case. This court
is to all intents and purposes a district
court, a court on wheels, so to speak, to
come to the people for their convenience
and to save expense, comprising all Wind
ham county with the exception OF Rock.
Londonderry. Jamaica and other towns
in the county as Brattleboro. Inc latter
place being larger, one day. each week IS
set aside for their convenience. In the
last few years we think Mr.. Cudworth
has conducted the courts for the conyen-
fence of the peopIe. holding court wher-
ever requested. There can be no question
as to his qualifications and there ought
not to be as to his residence, If ne re-
sides in the district. We hope for his re-
appointment and are willing to stand on
his record for the past two terms.

Vermont as a Summer Resort.
BARRE TimeS.1

The summing up of the summer tourist
business in Vermont during the recent
season has indicated to the state publicity
agent, Walter II. Crockett, that Vermont
is making considerable progress in the
business and has every prospect of in
c~reaSing the number of visitors during
1921. Better still, many of the tourists
are becoming permanent holders of real
estate and all the year residents of the
state. The summer tourist business is as
yet in its initial stages. 1t offers splendid
opportunities for Vermont.

Comforting Thoughts

The wind is tempered to the
sheep whose coat of wool is
shorn: and there's a balm for
those who weep, for those Who
sigh and mourn. I've never seen
50 dark a day. so full OF grief
and care, / couldn't find a little
ray Of comfort anywhere. Thus,
when my aunt came here to
spend six months or more with
US, ! thought my JOY must have
an end: like Job. | stopped to
cuss. Then | recalled the solemn
fact that seven aunts are mine !;
if they all to my wigwam
tracked, | we'll might shed the
brine. But only one of them
had come to linger i'll my lair,
and it were folly to be glum and
say that life's a snare. What
ever evil comes along, your
passing days to curse, whatever
i'll, whatever wrong, be sure it
might be worse. And if you
bear that truth in mind, and
paste it i'll your tile, twill ease
the sad and painful grind and
help you sing and smile.
