CONVENTION OF
TEACHERS ASSN
HAS BUSY SESSION
Program Includes Many
Conferences, Addresses
and Two Banquets

BURLINGTON, Oct. S-An extern
sive program OF work was taken UP
Il the second days session OF the
y ermont State teachers Assocla-
ton, which is holding its annual CON
vention in this city. Two banquets
were held for the delegates, two M
portant addresses were delivered and
many conference were held.
4 liyley session OF the State Head
ma, sers Club was held and a deter
mined movement against the college
examination board was developed.
Principal J. +. Colburn OF the high
school here leading the discussion.
In many instances, he said, pupils OF
the Burlington high school had been
graduated with nigh honorS but had
fallen down when it came to passing
the examination Of the college exam
ination board. He gave instances of
eases, where the pupils were not even
informed of the subject they had fail
ed in.
During the last year no pupil o.
the Rutland or Burlington high
schools were able to get into col
leges which required this class OF
examination without conditions. Il
was said that 80 per cent of the pu-
pills who take this examination, co
not pass. Investigation has developed
that there has been discrimination
against the pupils of the public
schools.
The headmasters voted to investi-
gate the conditions alleged and il it
is found that discrimination against
public school pupils exists they will
influence graduates OF Vermont high
schools to enter colleges that do not
require the conditions of the entrance
examination board.
The union perintendents held a
meeting at which it was voted that
the annual convention of the associa-
ton was too lono and should return
to the former two day session, from
Thursday noon to Saturday in order
TO avoid Interruptions in the schools.
.Ac the meetino of the SchoOlmast-
crs' Club in the evening, Hugh s.
McGill, field secretary Of the Amer
lean board Of education read a letter
from Senator Warren G.. Harding in

ored the Smith-Towner bill which

THIS THING OF GIVING

| do not understand II, any more than
do you, but there is something about
this thing Of giving that blesses US.
No man has ever impoverished him
self by giving. 1t cannot be done.
Those who give most, have most left.
No man has ever gone hungry after Civ
ing awsy his bread; some way, some
where bread has been provided for him.
Misery is upon the wsr-torn world
as it never was before. Want is almost
universal in the countries that have
been ravished. They call to US from
every quarter of the earth for help.
They cry aloud, or moan in tones sub
dued. The gsunt and famished, the
lean and weak, the sick and wounded
they hold their outstretched, empty
hands towards US, and beg for help.
And we. of all the people in the world
are in position to relieve them.
| believe that every one who gives q
penny will get it back a hundredfold.
believe that every one who dries a
tear with his assistance will be spared
the shedding Of q thousand tears. /
believe that every sacrifice we make
will so enrich US in the future that our
regret will be we did not sacrifice the
more. This thing of giving A glori.
Gus privilege it is!
How meaningless 7ow is money that
is boarded. How hateful to himself and
TO bis fellows is be who does not an

the giving live the life the human be.

One Of the leading business men and
planters Of the county who was in
town few days ago told The Falcon
that be looked for an average cotton
crop this year in spite Of the bad spring
and late start, but that he looked for
no more corn than last year to be
raised in this county. And be further
predicted that buyers might pay as
high as 81 per bushel for corn before
this time next year, with oats, wheat,
flour ETC.. correspOndinglV bigh. We
have just few minutes ago finished
reading an editorial in an Iowa paper
describing conditions there. where
spring was as late as here, with no
chance to put in corn until after June
/. and their short season and early
frost make it difficult to mature a cora
crop planted that late, frost com
ing early and iniuring such corn
badly, This condition the paper saSs
is aggravated by an extreme shortage
of farm labor that will make il impos-
sible to put in the normal acreage to
corn there and turnout the corn belt.
These facts all 90 to urge farmers in
this section to put in every available
acre in corn and feed crops. Probably
not in the present generation has the
situation with respect 10 feed AID food
been as acute as it is now, with a
prospect of the greatest scarcity within
the next year that has ever been seen
in America. Raise corn, hay, meat
and molasses while there is yet time
aud with these no family will suffer
for want of food.
