The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1922-11-14
(From the Randolph Herald.)

49,
About a year ago there appeared in
the Ladies Home Journal, a publication
that is probably read in more homes than
any other in the world, an article by
Charles A. Selden treating the short
comings of education. This writer cited
Vermont in what was on the whole a
very deprecatory way. He gave in
stances of d%eplorable conditions in our
rural schools, particularly, such as
s~choolhouses unfit for ~upa from a
health and sanitary standpoint which he
had visited in Essex county and else
where of immature and unframed teach
ers having no aptitude for or interest in
their work of u-nresponsive local senti-
ment and niggardly OUTLAWS for teachers
salaries and other school expenditures.
1t was stated that Vermont had ceased
to provide adequate instruction for teach
ers. While the writer did not assume to
treat of the educational situation as q
whole, he failed to make this clear, and
the general effect of his article could not
fail to be very detrimental. The outside
reader would absorb the impression that
Vermont was rapidly retrograding and
that conditions were about as bad as
could be in this most important phase of
modern civilizations
In the current (November) issue of the
same publication appears another article
by the same writer, the tone of which is
so contrary 10 the former one in its ref
erence to Vermont that readers must be
quite at a loss to make them harmonic.
This time Mr.. Selden holds Vermont up
as almost a standard of excellence edu-
c~ationally. He says the state lis once
more educationally awake and doing re-
markable things in the improvement OF
rural school buildings, the training oil
teachers and the establishment of high
schools. She now has something over
1,600 teachers of normal school or train.

lege graduates in her teaching force hal

ture has increased the appropriation fol
training classes from S16,500 to 500,
600. There were but Is per cent of tn,
schools and 21 per cent of the children
of Vermont under competent supervision

BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE Italian

calls for assistance from mid-oceon early
today, was in need of no further aid
after the White Star liner Pittsburgh
had responded to the call, according to
radio messages received here. The

Nov. 4 for Venice, gave her position ms

Outhreak of Banditry.

SANTIAGO, Nov. II ASSOCIATED
Press).-Reports of banditry and dis
order in the earthquake district, together
with news of additional earth shocks
and indications that the calamity has
reached appalling proportions, caused
the Chilean government today TO con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of sending troops
to Coquimbo and Atacama TO reinforce
the regular g~arrisons, which are too
small to cope with the situation and aid
in relief work.
Outlawry broke out last night in the
town of Vallenar, the chief sufferer from
the earthquake. where it is estimated
1000 of the inhabitants persisted, while
reports of robberies and holdups came
from other places in the affected region.
The arrival of war vessels at the north
ern ports of Chile brought wireless re-
ports of disaster from towns and villages
not previously heard from, including the
large town of Freirina, augmenting
greatly the number of reported casual
ties, which are now variously estimated
at between 1900 and 1000 dead, with
numberless injured and homeless.

HAIR BURNING.
Another Old Superstition which stin Sur
wives.

Another Old Superstition Which Still Sur
wives.
Put some of your hair i'm the fire. If
IT burns slowly, you will have a long life
II It burns quickly, a short one This
rather common superstition has as its
basis that primitive conception of the
hair as being, like the nails a vital and
integral part of the man himself-a con
ception which IS found surviving in many
modern superstitions.
So much was the hair regarded as the
person himself that ancients frequently
offered their hair in sacrifice instead of
mm0lating themselves-which was just
as effective n much pleasanter. In the
superstition under consideration we see a
survival of this custou-an Offering of
the hair to the gods. And as in all sacri-
fees the devotees sought for a sign in the
condition of the victim, which was re-
vealed by an examination after sacrifice
or in the manner in which that which
was sacrificed underwent the operation.
So We see the idea continuing down TO
US of a prOgnostic in the slowness or
rapidity of the ~burniugs of the hair.
Some anthropologists hold that the of
fering of hair to the gods was originally
a vicarious human sacrifice and came
i'm when human sacrifices themselve,
began TO lose their popularity as Savag
cry Observation-Disclosures Star.

try will probably reach somewhere be-

The telegraph offices at Santiago pre-
