Woods" by Marjorie Benton Cooke.
After a long period of absence,
Miss Marsh has but recently return
ed to the silver sheet. 1t was the de-
sire of Robertson-Cole to give her
production that would tax her histri-
onie ability and while the production
is undoubtedly a great one, Miss
Marsh more than takes care Of all
the opportunities presented. Theh,
too, there is cast in support that is
without peer in any of the picture
releases of the last decade. Taken
as a whole, "The Little 'Fraid Lady"
is first class release comprising
story, cast and settings which are
Par excellence.

tor whose ability has for many years

play lovers to invade the box office;

artists of the silver sheet; Charles

reputation as character portrayer;
Gretchen Hartman, of "vamp" fame
and George Bertholom, Jr, one of the
best child actors in the realm of
movies"

route through Salt Lake City, Omaha

is that the appointment should not go to-
a person outside the state. This is the
fiimSieSt sort of an argument and Is not
based on common sense. There are a
great many reasons why this policy
should not be carried out. The highway
commissioner should be the best man
available for the place. no matter whcth-
er he comes from Vermont or Utah. To
say that New Hampshire has not got
good roads is saying something that Is
not true.
Going back and repeating the charge
that there is too much politics mixed
with the gravel would il not be better
10 select Il commissioner from out of
the state? 4 new Vermont man would
be likely To keep politics mixed with
gravel while one from outside would be
put squarely on the job and be required
to make good.
The trouble with n Vermont man for
highway commissioner is that too much
favoritism is shown in making road
Improvement. This was shown when
former Governor Gates was commission
or. At that time the roads of Frank
lin county We're the favored ones. Just
90 into any town and it can be seen the
best kept roads are the ones that will
benefit the town highway commissioner.
1t Is always easy TO tell where the
highway commissioners live by looking
over the road improvements. Town high
way commissioners go for the otfic"
manv times simply to get their own
roads fixed up. The rest of the town
can take care of itself 1t is about the
same way in the state. y commissioner
from Caledonia county would see the
roads of his county were taken care of
first. 1t is Just natural that things are
done that way. Ii is pretty difficult for
any one to forget his own community
in work of this kind. Home ties are
strongest. With a man for state high
way commissioner from outside the
state all these objections would he re-
moved. lie would not be hampcred with
local prejudiccs or favoritc ideas to-
ward any particular section. With no
town utilization he would be able TO look
at the road problem from the one point
of the interest of the entire state.
1t Will be almost impossible to divorce
politics from the roads with a commits
sioner from Vermont. That is the thing
that is desired above everything else
For that reason it seems that Governor
IIartness showed excellent Judgment in
going out of the state in making his ap-
pointments. Get the road problem out
of politics. II cannot be done by con
tinuing n politician in the place. Gov
ernor HartneSS must have recognized
this in making his appointment and for
the good of the state ii is hoped that he
will be able to carry cut his plan

HOME AMERICANIZATION.

Discipline in the average American
home is not regarded as altogether sim
pie in these days when the old rules
that children should be seen and not
heard. and should speak only when
spoken TO, have become apparently OBJ
solete. But discipline is infinitely more
difficult in homes where the children are
Americans and the parents are foreign
born. In these eases there Is frequently
pathetic isolation for the father and
mother. particularly for the mother. The
children pick up not only our language
but our slang which is 80 difficult 70
translate and even a contempt for Old
World ways and traditions.
Unable to understand all the new In
terests and demands of their children.
these parents fall back on their faith
in the American schools. DO As
teacher says is the order by which they
hope to train the children to obedience.
Unfortunately, they do not know what
teacher" says. and are tricked by the
clever and rapidly developing young
sters. The Survey for Feb. II cites the
example of a boy who brought home his
report card with the prevailing grade of
c. This was in a city where the grades
ranged from y, high. to ID, low Yet
the boy easily convinced his parents that
G was very good since it was near the
top of the alphabet. y, Y or u would
be bad. but not c.
1t is not enough to trust that these
children will come out all right in the
end through their own schooling They
are losing the necessary parental dis
cipline. the respect for proper authority
and the fine things in the homeland
customs of their parents. The only way
TO make tho safe and necessary connec-
ton between these foreign-born parents
and their too-American children is by
educating the parents. too. Night
schools, day schools and home instruc-
ton arc needed with regular teaching
staff instead of part-time or volunteer
teachers. Many cities are already Civ
ing special attention to these foreign
mothers,e offering them day instruction
and helping them in many ways to keep
np with the Americanization of their
boys and girls. More must be done, for
their safety and that of the whole ma
ton are closely linked

One thing. at least, is to be said for
exorbitant rents. They promote home
owning. Having to pay SO or 500 n
month for house or fat that may be
lacking even in ordinary roomineSs and
comfort does more than all the preaching
in the world to make tenant realize
the value of having a house of his own.
Thousands of men and women who never
before took any interest in the matter
are now longing for the day when they
can buy or build a dwelling for them
selves, and are saving every dollar they
can squeeze out of their incomes to make
a start at it. Watch the houses go up
next summer Many OF them will be
very modest houses. Some of them may
be little more than shacks, or garages
utilized as living quarters until the fam
lily can finance the real house. But they
will all represent the beginning of as
fine an enterprise as any in which hui
man beings can engage, and the satisfy
ing of an instinct that may sometimes
sleep but never dies. The stimulus given
to- this BODYBUILDING instinct will prob
ably do more to solve the housing prob
lem through individual action than all
the public and cooperative efforts COM

In considering what shall be done to
check BrattlebOro's rapidly mounting
town debt it is we'll to bear in mind that
the increase of over $4,000 in liabilities
during the past year is very likely to be
duplicated the coming year by the cost
of the new bridge across the Connect
cut. This is all the more reason why
something should be done at tomorrow s
town meeting to cut down the present
debt. For it should be borne in mind
to a first mortgage on every bit of tax
able property in the town, and nothing
is to be gained by increasing that mort
gage from year to year.
