ENSIEY

With the industrial plants in the
Ensley district running 100 per cent,
both as to time and production, the
business outlook for this section is
exceedingly bright, and to add to the
prospect it is persistently rumored
that construction OF new blast fur
mace plant beyond Westfield will be
started by the 7. c. l. company in the
near future.
While this announcement is unoffi-
cial 1t is generally known that the
building of a second blast furnace
plant has been contemplated for some
time, and with the increasing de-
mands for the products of the steel
mill it is believed that work on the
new plant will soon be started.
Deferred Celebration
The somewhat long deferred cele
bration of the Inauguration of bus
line connecting Ensley with the out
lying mining twons of the district is
expected to take place within week
or 10 days.
The Ensley Merchants and Business
Mems association who have the mat
ter ip charge have planned a unique
celebration for the occasion, which
has been put off from time to time
on account of the failure of the
buses to arrive.
1t is understood that the manu-
facturers of the buses have expe-
rienced considerable delay in assem-
bling the materials of the vehicles,
owing to the car shortage in rail-
road circles. 1t is stated that this
condition is much relieved and the
buses will be completed at an early
date.
Despite the delay the merchants
association Will carry out the pro-
gram as originally intended as soon
as the conveyances arrive.
Ensley chapter, Royal Arch Masons,
will meet Monday night at the Ma
sonic hall in a business session. Re
ports Of Delegates d. A. Echols and

tective Order of E1ks. will present
Christmas baskets containing all the
essentials for bounteous Christmas
dinner, and then some, to the worthy
families of the district.

chased a large quantity of good sub
stantial food and the baskets will be
filed to overlooking. In addition to the
food products. and as treat to the
Riddles, there will be generous sup

remembered by many Barre people
Rev. Mr.. Mitchell is an earnest, force
full preacher and the literary work just
come from his pen contains many OF
the elements which go to make his
sermon talks so appealing. Those who
desire little serious contemplation of
life and of its many phases will find
themselves satisfied in "Ths Drama of
Life" which, according to accompany
ing announcement, contains counsel,
wisdom and conviction, such as are
forthcoming only from one who has
pondered long and deeply on the prob

the stage Of mortal life, must, per-
force, play many parts" Barre pec-
pie will be particularly interested in
the latest literary work of Rev. Mr..
Mitchell.

LETTERS ToTHE EDITOR
School System Defended.

Editor, Barre Times: The severa
letters attacking the school svsten
are so sincere and in some respects
true that the danger from them is ap
parent. We want Vermont to be {
state that people win want to live in
work in, and bring up their familie,
in, especially the good teachers; ant
good school system Is the first and
most important step in that direction
Hundreds of our best teachers are
already in other states because they
are treated better, financially or 9th,
erwise, there Don't speak about
teachers working only Ave hours day
know many good teachers who aver
age near ten hours a day.
School committees are much TO
blame for surrendering their powers Of
control to district superintendent
Usually they like to put their work
on him, but the law does not compel
it. The able school commissioner aided
by competent superintendent in each
probate court district should be sufii
cient II local committees will assume
their own duties, and thereby most
of the overhead expense be eliminated.
but to preserve good and equal oppor-
tunity for all children, rich and poor.
state control to extent of enforcing
that right is necessary. We do not
want the children treated like some
overseers like to treat town paupers.
Many children, at least. of my ac-
quaintance, are taught much more in
our high schools than we, their par
ents, were taught thirty years ago.
Otter where it IS otherwise the blame
is misplaced. II family cares more
for the movie, the auto, the dance, or
any other pleasure, or excessive child
labor, which is worse, than they do for
the child's education, il is certain his
education will suffer. Yet there re-
main many parents who spend the
evening hours with their children over
their studies, as their parents and
grandparents did long before them.
A good capable mother bringing up
a large family, housekeeping, cooking,
sewing and general training of chill
dren, is earning more than a high
priced teacher, in cash value, and get
ting lot more Of enjoyment out Of it,
We should take for granted the fact
that a fairly intelligent state board Of
education has worked hard to get the
best results for their state. IL they
have made some mistakes they admit
them, but on the whole they are in
much better position to Judge Of gen
eral results than the people of any
one locality or district.

While President Harding may be
subjected to a good deal Of criticism,
and much of it justified perhaps, it
should be said in his behalf that he
doesnt consider himself the supreme
court Of public opinion. In other
words, he is perfectly willing to listen
to the opinions Of others and to give
those opinions due consideration. He
does not act so opinionated that he
spurna all advice and goes it as if
there wers no other mind in the world
except his own. He may defer too
much to the opinions Of others on some
occasions but he is apt to go less
astray than he would if he Numbered
along on his own mental track, while
at the same time telling all others to
get out Of the way.
