VILLAGE VOTERS
ARE TO CONSIDER
ROAD EXTENSION
Special Meeting Tonight at High
School Hall
MORE CONCRETE OR NOT

And South Streets May
Be Considered
lore CONCRETE OR NOT

A special village meeting VIII be
held this evening at high school hall
at o'clock to see II the voters will
continue the concrete work that has
been In progress the past year. The
issue Is live one and very citizen
and taxpayer Interested in the streets
OF the village should be present.
The vii age has done surprisingly
we'll with It's contract with Mr..
liindbolm. 1t has accomplished the
maximum with the appropriation OF
$500 900 Is getting more done than the
most sanguine OF the citizens expect
ed last spring.
The long rended surface drainage
system for the Main street has been
put In. This should eventually be ex-
tended to include Silver street, I'm
peria avenue, South STREET Grand.
view and doubtless. some other streets
Whether to do It now depends on
whether the village can stand the ex-
pense.
AL the meeting tonight it is ex
pected that 1t will be proposed to con-
t!nue the concrete road past the
soldiers home grounds to the Meach
HOLE bridge. West Main street to
the Old Bennington line and South
street TO the village limits All the
people would like to see these three
streets concreted but the cost will be
ccnsiderab e.
The engineers who have been in
charge Will have figures and estimates
OF the expenses OF these three ex.
tensions. II Is not likely that there
WILL be any opposition TO going down
past the soldiers home grounds to con.
meet with the federal project at the
Meach Hole bridge and the new road
10 North Bennington. This much
seems essential
Il ceuld be fine thing IL West Main
street aud South street could be in.
Guided and both projects have friends.
The quest on Is nicely one of ex.
pense. Gid bennington is getting
ready TO resurface the road from the
Bennington line at the railroad track
10 connect with the rebuilt Colgate
road but the contract has not been
let. 30 far as the Banner knows.
South street has hill problem but
that street is narrow and the cost
would be relatively smaller on that
account
With the Lindholm outfit right here,
act M and in work ng order and
the Ley outfit just utaide the Will
age Il is certain that the work can be
done several thousand dollars cheaper
than II could he again.
Another small project that Is being
urged Is to concrete the short section
OF County street from North street
10 the freight station In an indus
tr al town like Bennington the pros
perlty of the people depends on the
prosperity OF the mills. Every spring
aud fall the handling Of heavy freight
through the mud th;t surrounds the
freight station is a considerable bur
den on the mills and other business
interests.
There ought to be a large atten
dance at the special village meeting
tonight. The voters should go there
with open minds prepared to consider
the case and act for the best interest,"

at Mongan park Saturday afternoon
must have realized that bennington
has something better than town
team The local boys outclassed East
Arlington about as thoroughly as the
"Yanks" and "Babe" Ruth would have
shaded the home team and 1t is to be
doubted that the redoubtable Babe
himself would have been able to
show anything better than Scot

East Arlington was defeated 10 to
3 but the score does not begin to
show the superiority OF the baseball
put up by the home team. The Chair
Makers showed up fairly well at the
bat, making seven hits, one of them
a two.sacker and one going for three
bases, off Mooney, but they handled
the ball awkwardly and their wild
throws over bases we're costly. II was

NEW VACATION SCHOOLS.

The long school vacation has been crit
icised as wastcful both of school equip
ment and of the chiId's educational pro
gress. SO much review has to be done
every fall before the teacher can proceed
with the advanced work of her grade
| that the whole process of learning is
retarded several weeks a year The ans
wcr to this criticism has been the rapid
development of summer sessions in many
public schools. \ new reason for. sum
mer schools has been brought out by Cal
ifornia educators.
The heads of police departments in
several different California cities say
that their records show marked in
crease in juvenile crime during the sum-
mer vacation months. In Pasadena.
where vacation schools and special super
vised summer playground work have been
introduced, the police chief reports q
noteworthy decrease in Juvenile OffenSeS
last summer as compared with preceding
summers In view of these facts one
educator suggests more general system
of vacation schools, but with new ele-
ment
Some boys and girls have the opportu-
nifty to spend their vacations in the coun-
try or at seaside or mountain. In
wholesome surroundings and with hap
PLY balanced regime of outdoor work
and play there can be no question of the
benefits to be derived by Youngsters with
such opportunities. There are thousands
of boys and girls, however. in cities and
small towns who have no such chance
at genuine recreational vacations. 1t is
for them that the new type of vacation
is planned.
This school should center its activities
either around the regular school building
or the Fairgrounds, but most of its work
should be done outdoors. The regular
school subjects should be on the SEIZED
ule but subordinated to nature study in
the parks or country, to recreatiOnal ac-
tivities on the playground, to swimming
instruction, manual training, sewing
reading and storytelling. 1t does not re-
quire detailed research to recognize the
| value of such schools.
