An ImnOrtant Bill.

Mr.. Dingley of Lewiston has perfected
bill, which will be reported from the commit
tee on education, the design OF which is to
secure the more efficient supervision OF
schools. 1t does not attempt to revive the
county supervisor system but provides instead
for seven "district commissioners Of schools,
the State being divided for this purpos into
seven parts with reference not so much to
popula ion as to the school work to be done
in each; York and Cumberland counties con-
stitute the fir,t district. The theory of the
bill is that the seven men to be appointed IN
pursuance of this plan will do the WORK Oh
the county supervisors more Satisfactorily
than those gentlemen did, and al 'eSS
expens care being taken to secure compe-
tent commissioners by offering adequate COM
pensation. They are to b. PAID, therefore,
salary ofS150O and their necessary travel
ing expenses net exceeding $500 except in
the seventh and possibly the sixth district,
where special provision is to be made owing
to the magnificent distances to be traversed
in Eastern and Northern Maine.
For the selection of these strict commits
sioners peculiar method is provided. TIE
first year they are to be appointed by the
Governor. but afterwards they are to be rec
commended to the Governor by con, entions
ofthe representatives of the experimenting
school committees of the several towns in
each district to be held annually in the
month o. September. These meetings of the
school committees are to continue three days
and are expected to result in great advantage
to those who participate in them owing to the
facilities afforded for consultation and dis
cussion. 1t is proposed to authorize towns to
pay the expenses of their representatives to
the convention if they see fit.
The advantages of the new plan are first,
its economy. II is proposed to throw on the
district comp issioners the work of conduct
Ing the achers' Institutes now authorized by
law. Thus saving of four thousand dollars
will be effected, and the whole district com
mission will add only 900 to the expenses
of the State. County supervision, it will be
remembered, cost $4,000. Second, its eff
cheney owing to the anticipated improvement
in the personnel of the board, and to the
sympathy andc operation between all grades
of school officers expected to be attained
through the novel method Of selecting the
commissioners. Third, the commissioners
are to determine whether the money received
by towns through the mill tax as devoted to
the purposes for which it is intended. This is
a feat re which the larger cities and towns
will certainly appreciate. The State now
gives about a quarter of a million dollars for
the support of schools, but knows not wheth-
er the money is well applied or not.
1t is not believed that the State will grudge
a few thousand dollars for the attainment OF
so many useful purposes.

TIE Dominion Board of Trade held a ses-
sion at Ottawa last week at which twenty-one
local boards were represented. The great

on the tariff question which was discussed al
length. A proposition recommending a
modification of the duties or articles of food,
clothing, etc., was supplemented by amend
ments approving incidental protection to the
extent OF Is per cent ad raloren, any needed
increase to be imposed on Injuries, and de-
claring the Importance Of permanent tarif

ests of the country. Thus amended the res
olution was passed. From this it Sc ms tina.

of the Dominion are inclined to accept the
American rather than the British policy.

side and the Secretary of War and his subor-

Bullock and other discussing officers under
Gen. Howard have failed to account for all
the money they have drawn from the treas
ury and that these officers cannot produce
the records of their transactions in paying a
certain class of claims. -Comnlaints have also
pay, bounties, ETC., supposed to be settled by
the late officers of the bureau, and it is sus-
pected that there have been quite extensi, e
frauds. Ofcourse Gen. Howard, as the head
of the late bureau is responsible for the irreg-
ularities of his subor linates though he is in
no other way connected with the alleged def
ciencies and complaints of fraud. The Secre-
tary of War calls upon Gen. Howard to fine
the lost records, and he replies that he will
do all he cal N the matter.

THERE'S certainly r pom for the growing sus-
