FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1915-
PIOUS STUDENTS.
The Living Church, the able organ of
the High Church section of the Episco
pal church, has an interesting depart-
ment conducted by ' 'Presby ter Ignotus, '
a pseudonym of Rev. Dr. William H.
van Allen, who was at one time a atu
dent of Middlebury College. ln a re-
centissue Dr. van Allen contributes
table from a religious paper of 1822 on
religious statistics in a number of col-
leges. The figures are interesting, not
only as showing the small number of
church members among collegestudents
compared with the much larger propor
tion to-day, but also for its exhibition
of the attendance of the colleges.

ligion.

EX-GOV. MEAD'S GIFT.
Ex-Governor John A. Mead hasagain
shown his generous spirit, this time by
.presenting a club and recreation
house for the young people of Rutland
to be administered by the Congrega-
tional church. It is said thatplansunder
consideration may involve the expendi
ture of $50,000. Dr. Mead is showing
in his benefactions thesamefar-sighted-ness
and wisdom which have marked his
business career and which made him
so successful as Governor. In the chapel
he is erecting for Middlebury College
he has planned one of the most unique
and beaatiful buildings in New Eng
land, and it is already prophesied that
the success of this' chapel will mark
return to the classic architecture of
colonial New England. In Rutland he
proposes a community center for young
people, a home of healthful recreation,
both mental and physical. Nothing is
more useful to the young people of a
modern town than the opportunity of
wholesome recreation in proper sur
roundings, and no field is commonly
more neglected.
Inselectingthe Congregatlonal church
to administer the gift Dr. Mead is not
only showing his confidence in an organ
ization with which he has long been
honorably connected, but he is also
looking wisely ahead. That church is
altogether likely to be a strong soclety
in Rutland for many years to come, one
well fitted to administer so lmportant
a trust.2 It is inconceivable that the
church will not be able to care for such
a project, or that it will desire to eon
duct it inlany other than a broad civic
spirit.
Ur. Mead has thus made two very
generous and useful gifts, one testify
ing tojhis appreciation of the value of
education and of the place which relig'
ious teaching should hold in college life,
and the other showing his intereot
his home city, particularly in its young
people, and his desire for their highest
welfare.lJHe had to make great sacri
fices forhis own education and his
duties havejnever lef t him much time
for recreation. There is something
quite affecting, therefore, in his gifts
to provide for others privileges beyond
those which he himself was permitted
to enjoy.
MR. CADY'S ADDRESS.
The address of Mr. Willis N. Cady as
Master of the Vermont State Grange at
the annual session was a clear and
f orceful uttersnce on matters important
to Vermont agriculture. He urged co
operation under the leadeiship of the
State Department of Agriculture, and
said "We regret that so many ofour
co-operative creameries and cheese
factories have either closed their doors
or passed into the hands of large cor
porations. We believe that the farmers
of Vermont ought to hold on to their
creameries. Wherever there is a good
co-operative cieamery in operation you
will find successful dairymen. Through
an enlargement of the work of the Com
missioner of Agriculture and more f unds
placed at his disposal, the co-operative
reameries are to receive more aid in
making and marketing fine butter and
so ought, and we believe will, receive
bctter prices. We should co-operate
with our department of agriculture
along this and other lines of work l'or
the bcnefit of the farmers."
The State Master's address sounded
no uncertain note on the subject of
temperance, indicating where the
farmers will stand on the question of
State prohibition. "This is a question
upon which the Grange has had clearly
defined opinions since its organization,
realizing that any compromise with the
greatevil of intemperance would result
in harm to the tillers of the soil. The
great war that is sweeping Europe has
demonstrated more forcibly than ever
that men to be at their best both
physically and mentally, must be sober.
Clear thinking, quick action and hard
work are hindered by drink. Our jails
and poorhouses are filled, eithcr di
rectly or indircctly, by drink, and it
behooves every patron who has the
good of his home' and community at
heart, who is looking for . a bigger and
better Vermont, to do all in his power
to remove the temptation to drink from
the State. Let us heed the call and at
the coming March meeting order a pro
hibition law to go into effect. What
ever the result of the vote may be, it
is our duty as good citizens to see that
the law is enforced.
A TALK WITH BOYS.
Every boy in Addison county ought to
know about the brave, noble life of
Mr. Joseph A. DeBoer, who died
Christmas morning at his home in
Montpelier. He was a great friend of
boys, of all Vermont boys, but especial
ly of boys who do not have quite a fair
chance in life and are compelled to un
dergo many hardships before they get a
start. His life should be an inspiration
to every boy in Vermont and should
bring close home the lessons of such
great men as Lincoln and Garfield, who
worked their way from poverty and
hardship to honor and eminence.
There is probably not a boy in Ver
mont to-day who is in a harder place, a
more discouraging situation, than was
Joseph A. DeBoer at about ten years of
age. He was very poor, a news-bov on
the streets of Albany. He knew only a
few words of the English language,
enough tosell papers but notenough to
reaJ them. But he was a plucky, en
terprising little fellow, with a good eye
for bushiess, and the kind man from
whom he bought his papers took
liking to him. One thing which made
this man interested in young DeBoer
was that when he got a few pennies
ahead he began to bargain for a book
on the man's shelves, one of the plays
of Shakespeare. He had seen tlie name
of that book on a theatre bill board and
made up his mind he must have it and
read it. By rareful saving he got the
book and began to spell out the words
with the aid of the kind book-seller.
This man invited him to a Sunaay
School, which was valuable to him as
place to learn English as well for its
teaching on character and religion
Soon he had mastered English sufli
ciently to enter the public school, and
ihen his progress was steady and rapid
until he graduated with high honors
from Dartmouth College and became
himself a schoolmaster.
Later Mr. DeBoer decided to go into
business and entered the ofiicc of th
National Lile lnsurance Company o
Montpelier. His great ability, coupled
with love of work, soon made him pres
ident of the company. He threw his
whole soul into his task, and the com
pany made rapid progress. In compe
tition with the stiongest financial or
ganizations of our country, whose ofli
cers received many times the salary o
Mr. DeBoer, and which had many ad
vantages because of their location
large cities, he built up the Vermont
lnstitution until to-day it stands, not
only as the strongest financial organiza
tion of Vermont, but as one of th
soundest of the country.
Mr. DeBoer had many opportunities
to leave Vermont, indeed to take hi
whole company to a great city. But h
always said he preferred the indepen
dence of Vermont to any advantages
which a metropolis might offer him
He became a most useful citizen of our
State. He was the father of our per
manent school fund, by which thousands
of dollars are distributed every year to
Vermont's country schools. He was
close student of the taxation problem
and said many wise things on that diflV
cult subject.
Everybody respected Joseph A. De
Boer. Those who knew him well loved
him so mucn tney wouid nave given
their very lives for him. He neverdid
a mean, small thing. He was a man o
great mind and of great soul. He had
a keen sense of honor and he never for
got a iriend. ln any company ot men
he was a leader. He was one of those
whose strength is felt, and he did not
need to speak to exert influence. But
when he did speak, he pushed aside th
small things about a subject and wen
straight to its heart and center. II
was a strong, noble man, a man who
did great things and who has lef t
name to bo honored among the great
men of Vermont.
What he did, other boysof to-day may
do. If that little news-boy, fresh from
Holland, spelling out the words on
sign-board in Albany, could flght his
way up, there is not a boy in a district
school in Addison county who can say h
has no chance.
