YOUTHS AND THE PUBLIC
STREETS.

. Speaking Of the presence Of many
children III the streets OF its city and
the danger to them from automobiles
the Springfield, Mass, Republican
says:
Another element for danger lies in
boys allowing automobiles to come az
close to them as they dare or actually
compelling machines to stop. knowing
that the drivers are bound to do so,
whether the boys are to blame or not.
\ But even though all this is true, the
responsibility still rests upon the au-
1 tomobilist, it having to be conceded
that child, not having reason and
Judgment, cannot be expected to do
the rational thing. Parents also have
4 responsibility and bit Of sharp dis
cipline at home might help.
| The contemporary is right; parents
do have great deal of responsibility
and there is sharp need Of discipline
at home to warn children Of the dan
ger of deliberately putting themselves
in the way of motor vehicles, as well
as of the danger Of getting struck ac-
cidentally by ever SO careful drivers.
There are youngsters right here in
Barre who not only are careless about
their own safety from teams and mo
tor vehicles but who deliberately
thrust themselves in the path Of motor
vehicles and taunt the driver to run
them down, stepping aside just enough
so that the vehicles almost brush
them as they pass.
We saw the strange sight the other
day Of a boy Of about IL years at
tempting by main force to thrust a
boy of about eight years into the path Of
an automobile and then, when the
younger boy fought desperately, the
older boy himself took up stand d. |
rectly in the middle of the road, re-
naming there until the vehicle. slowed |
down, almost reached him when he |
sidled ont of the way just enough to
avoid the fender of the ear, in the |
meantime directing derisiye chatter at
the driver of the motor vehicle. When
such spirit prevails among some Of the /
young generation 1t is little wonder
that drivers Of vehicles, careful as
they may try to be, viii sometimes
ness with insolant disregard of the We.
hicles, which have a right to traverse
the highways. The l2-year-old boy in
the above instance ought, Of course, to
have been given punishment fit for the
ease; and the parents are the ones to
administer the punishment.

Things have been painted so dark.
" about the financial stress of the
railroads Of the country that bright
er picture is sometimes welcome. So
we state here and now that the Maine
Central railroad, operating in Maine,
New Hampshire and small section
of Vermont and the Province of Que
bee, shows surplus Of s427,727 for
the first nine months of the year, as
contrasted with a deficit of Sl,767 ,344
for the corresponding months last
year. The Maine Central is a COM
raratively small system and not fa-
vored by such a lucrative field of oper-
alton as many other systems through
out the country. The result Of the
nine months operation is an index
OF improved business conditions and,
perhaps, capable management.

The bequest by the late Marshall
w Jones, president OF Jones Bros.
Co., to the Barre City hospital comes
in the nature Of recognition of the
important part which that institution
plays in the life of Barre, especially
in relation to the granite industry.
Without the City hospital, Barre
would be badly off to take care Of the
numerous accident cases arising in the
granite industry, to say nothing Of the
many cases Of other nature developing
in community Of this size and in
surrounding towns. No doubt a reali-
cation OF the Importance Of the hos
pital to the granite industry was one
Of the reasons why the late Mr.. Jones
desired to lend material aid to the in
stitution, as he did so generously.

LETTERS ToTHE EDITOR
Reply to Omega.

Editor, Barre Times: In reply to
articles written by Omega in a re-
cent issue Of The Times, we would
like to say that we think he is gravely
at fault in some Of his statements.
He claims that the centralizing of
schools is bringing more evils than
blessings upon us when il is really
just the opposite. The money which
was formerly expended for the main
tenance Of several district schools is
now put into one centralized school.
Highly trained teachers, better meth
DDS and superior results are secured
by this.
He also says that the most impor-
tant thing in educating the children
of this country is to instill in their
minds love of country, respect of laws
and the principles of democracy. This
is entirely true and is one of the sub
jects to which attention is most paid,
for there is a course in civics. dealing
with this matter, found in most every
school. It teaches a bow OF girl to
respect laws, understand the duties OF
the various departments of their gov
eminent and above all TO be a good
citizen.
As for paying teacher $50 week
to act in the capacity of a coach, we
think that this is highly improbable
except in very large high school or
university where the entire attention
Of the instructor is given over to ath-
letics. Even if this should happen,
Omega must remember that in these
times we know that physical devel-
opment is just as important as mental
development for the growing child.
Now for the "brain twisters" which
Omega mentioned in his article. The
modern high school completely elimi-
mates these from its curriculum. II
plans to leach practical everyday
things, such as will benefit the student
in later life.
We further believe that If Omega
