The danger of the hastily discarded
cigarette in building was again dem
onstrated at the armory hal. in Mont
pelier last evening when a fire broke
out in the flooring from lighted Gig
arctic which fell into crack in the
floor. 1t is considered smart act by
some young people to snap a cigarette
with careless abandon and let the con-
fagration- maker land where it will,
while the smoker turns on his heel and
walks off like some of the fashion.plate
heroes in the style books, In the mean
time, the lighted cigarette gets in its
devastating work in case there happens
to be infammable material nearby.
Millions OF dollars go up in smoke
every year simply through the careless
action of many cigarette smokers. As
it happened in the Montpelier instance,
the fire was discovered before the peo-
pic had left the hall and the fire was
promptly extinguished; but even so
there were grave chances for panic
among the hundreds of people gathered
in the hall for the basketball game.
Taken altogether, it was one of the
rankest cases of criminal carelessness
that have come to attention recently.

Secretary Glass has come to the con-
clusion that the United States has gone
about as far as it should to finance the
countries of Europe back to their nor
NAL condition and that the countries
should take steps to work out their
own salvation. There will be quite
general accord with the viewpoint Of
Secretary Glass. AT the same time,
the people of the United States will
hope for some means that will force
Europeans to 60 back to work and pro-
duce their quota of the worlds prod
ucts in order that the equilibrium OF
the world in that particular may be
restored. The United States, or rather
the people of the United States, have
been bearing very heavy burden for
several years to the end that assist
ance might be granted to the people of
Europe, who either through indiffer-
once or lack of opportunity, have been
falling far short of their normal pro-
ductiyity. American products have
been shipped to Europe in amazing
quantities until the people of the Unit
ed States have realized an acute short
age and consequent sharp rise in
prices. 1t is time for the Europeans to
work out their own salvation in the
line OF production, too.

getting into the favored class. After
reading the requirements for admission
TO the standard class we should say
that the effort will require the coop
Grafton of not merely the teachers and
the pupils but of the school directors
and the entire people Of any given com
munity as we'll, for the requirements
pertain to the equipment and surround
ings Of the school buildings in addition
to the matters more nearly in the scope
of the teachers and pupils. But that
wider cooperation is as it should be;
the school directors and the public in
general ought to be enlisted in such a
movement to raise the standard OF the
rural schools, for the right to carry the
designation Of standard school will
betoken a spirit of progress in the com.
munity which would have splendid
reflex influence on the community. The
results of the effort in Caledonia coun-
ty will be watched with interest
throughout the state, for the plan may
mean much toward the building up OF
the school system providing it is con
Quoted with vigor and close adherence
to the principles laid down. Any school

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION
Farewell Reception for Rev. and Mrs,
F. G. Alger Thursday Evening

The Second Congregational church OF
Hartford gave farewell reception to
Rev. and Mrs. +. g. Alger, in the chap
el of the church Thursday evening, Jan.
1 20 The reception was given by the
| trustees, and Stephen X. Perry, as the
clerk of the board of trustees, had
charge of making the arrangements
and the sending out of the invitations.
The whole membership of the church
and the many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
| Alger were invited, and large number
gathered to meet their pastor and his
wife. The evening was spent in having
good social visit with Mr.. and Mrs.
| Alger, and it afforded the people an OPP
portunity to tell the retiring minister
and his wife how much they had APP
prcciated the good work which they
| had carried on in this community. MIR.
and Mrs. Alger have labored for two
years among these people, and in that
time they have accomplished much for
the church, for when they came things
We're at low ebb. Mr.. Alger has been
able to get a large class TO unite with
the church; he has been able to bring
the finances of the church up TO a
higher level; he has been great force
for good in the community; 1t was
through his efforts that Mems Dis
cussion club was started, and it is now
live wire in the affairs of the village
In fact, Mr. Alger is leaving we'll
built-up church and congregation, and
his successor will find an active and
wide-awake parish. The church realizes
its loss, and the community is losing
a valuable citizen.
