RACE SUICIDE FROM NEW ANGLE.

Prof. Edward A Rose of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, pioneer writer on so
cial psychology and other phases of So
GEOLOGY. has revised his old ideas about
race suicide" This is especially inter
estfng because it was Prof. Ross, rather
than Theodore Roosevelt, who originated
that much-discussed phrase.
Twenty years ago." he confesses, Il
believed in large families. Today with
changed conditions and years of deep
study, have changed my mind"
His change of mind through DELHI
crate and open-minded study corresponds
to change that has come about in the
national mind rather naturally and I'M
consciously The scientists thinking fits
in with the trend of events, and it is pos
sible that both are right in the main.
Roosevelt had the nation, for a time,
pretty well won over-in theory-to the
big-family gospel. 1t is hard today to
convince the average native American
that a big family is necessarily evidence
of superior virtue and conspicuous public
service. The sensible man or woman
will insist that 1T depends on the fam
lily"
4 large family, we'll reared, sound in
body and well trained in mind and con-
duct, is a blessing to any community or
nation. A large family of children with
poor inheritance or bad bringing up may
be curse.
1t is doubtless desirable that Ameri-
cans of the older stock should have more
children than they do, Even there,
however, it is now admitted that much
depends on the circumstances of the in
dividual family. 1t is doubtful whether
more children than parents can take
proper care of are an asset to them or
the nation.
Nature, however, rather than science,
determines these things. Science is
merely recognizing, perhaps, that Nature
knows what she is about

at intervals and committees have been
appointed to investigate it, but the re-
suits up to the present time are obvious
1t is probably true, as automobile tour
lists generally report, that WORKOUT road
surfaces are common characteristics of
towns of this size, yet that is absolutely
no excuse for the allowance of such con-
dition. And be it said by way of COM
ment and contrast that a number of
towns in this section of New England
have freed themselves from this charac-
terization. Bennington. for example. has
spent something like $500, 900 for con-
crete paving throughout its business sec
ton, while Keene has just completed the
laying of 10000 square yards Of cement
concrete pavement which connects sec
tons of vitrified brick and concrete put
down in recent years and gives that city
what is acknowledged to be the widest
paved street in New England. Nontpel-
Ter is another place where extensive con-
crete paving is being done. while New
port, Vt. has a business. thoroughfare
that at once brings to mind that of Brat
tleboro-the two are so Numerically
different ..,.........
To say that it's high time this town
took steps toward permanently improving
and identifying its Main street is merely
to repeat what has been uttered again
and again, but il is none the less true
on that account. Why don't the select
men authorize someone to go very thor
oughly into the subject between now and
next March, considering all attendant
problems such as lighting installations,
provision for pipes, etc. and bring the
town meeting in form that will enable
them TO act intelligently on this ex-
tremely important municipal problem?
If the Vermont National bank burglar
alarm keeps up its present capers it will
attract about as much attention in
real emergency as the little boy in the
"Wolf. Wolff" story.
In view of the local housing needs It
is discouraging to find so-ealled public
service corporation like the Brattleboro
Water Works Co, taking the attitude
it does in the case of the four new dwell
ings that the Crystal Springs Ice Co, is
erecting on its land adjoining Frost
place. As The Meddler understands it.
the Crystal Springs Co. asked the
Water Works Co. to lay approximately
2jO feet of main through the new street
on which the proposed houses viii face
and the Water Works Co, refused to
stand the expense. In this particular
instance tie attitude of the water com
pany will not stop the new construction
but it cannot be said to offer any great
encouragement to others who are think
ing of building in sections where there
are no water mains Just to determine
the responsibility of water companies
this case might well be taken before the
Vermont public service commission under I
Act No. 14S of the last legislature which
provides that such companies shall come
under the commissions jurisdiction.

Evidence is not lacking that the people
of Brattleboro are taking sincere and ac-
tive interest in the program of recreation
which the Community Service workers
are so busy in directing, and the notice
able intermingling of class and creed in
the various activities promises much for
the realization of they chief aim of the
organization, which as The Meddler I'M
derstands it, is the cultivation of an ac-
tive sense of community responsibility
/ not alone in those who ars used to as
sisting such movements but among the
rank and file of citizens regardless of
nationality, station or belief If such
a spirit can be engendered, and made
lasting. Community Service will have am
ply justified its existence so far as this
locality is concerned
A particularly encouraging feature of
the works. the apparent enthusiasm with
which residents Of the smaller towns ad-
joining Brattleboro reach out for and en-
ter into the various activities that go to
make up the Community Service pro
gram. Not only is it beneficial to these
people themselves to get together amid
surroundings absolutely free from the
petty jealousies and prejudices that so
often thrive in rural communities, but
there is a direct advantage to Brattleboro
itself, the logical business. center for all
of these towns, in being the leader of
movement that cannot help but make
rural life more enjoyable and more worth
while.

on its uneven way, temporarily smoothed
up, to be sure, but in the main just as full
of bumps as a pickerel is full of bones
