Without disparagement to the other
churches of the city, it is worth much
to have a downtown church in Boston
of this type. The Berkeley Temple
Year Book shows the scope and many
the province of q modern church in a
great city. All these secular instru
mentalities have an avOwedly spiritual
end, and while the church tries to carry
on its philanthropic and humanitarian
work, its workers keep steadily in view
the purpose of bringing to men and
women the help and the inspiration
which are in the religion of Christ
The influence of such institutions as
Berkeley temple, in Boston, or of the
now famous St. George church, in New
York, is widespread Their methods
are scrutinized and copied all over the
country Their spirit of practical help
fulness is a mighty impulse to agrees

How far a colleges popularity de-
ponds upon its success in athletics is
still a disputed question. Many of the
younger college graduates maintain
that when a college has made brill.
liant record in athletics the tide turns
in that direction. Older men are not
so willing to admit this, at least in
whole. There have been several up
sets in athletics recently. Yale IN
doubtedly leads all colleges today in
her athletic achievements Princeton's
record last year was admirable. Har.
ward seems to be in an unhappy posi-
ton. Perhaps if we watch the attend.

the opinion of a college graduate who
believes in all legitimate encourage
ment of athletics, and who yet prefers
to believe that most men go to college
for the college-not for its athletic pos
sibllities. New York Tribune.

The Canadian product by the CEN

almost two-thirds that of the United

product of maple sugar, and with
our markets open to that product

on her side of the line and fall off on
ours. Her maple forests would be

How The New School Law Affects
Randolph.

The act assessing a state school
tax of five cents on dollar annually,
to equalize school taxation, effects
this town financially about as fol
lows: Randolph's grand list is q
little over $2O,O00-a tax of five
cents will require $1,000 to be paid
into the state treasury. Under the
manner provided by law for dividing
the money back to the several towns
according to the number of schools
sustained in each town the preceding
school year." which was sixteen in
Randolph, we shall receive back of
the $1,000 paid in only about $50,
thereby contributing $3.50 toward
supporting schools in poorer towns
in the state. If this town was not
under the town system, the amount
would be the same. Had the leg
islature had the Courage of it's
convictions it would have passed
town system law for the whole state,
and nothing of this kind would have
been necessary, as the school taxes
within each town would have been
thereby equalized and no state
tax been assessed by the legislature

The New School Law.
REPLY TO THE CRITICISM MADE BY STATE
PERINTENDENT PALMER.

REPLY TO THE CRITICISM MADE BY STATE sU
PERINTENDENT PALMER.
To the Rutland Herald:
My attention has been called to a criticism
of the new school law by State Superinten
dent Palmer in which he contends that ow
ing to the change of the school year, those
districts that have not maintained schoo
for "a weeks during the nine months next
preceding the close of the current year will
not be entitled to receive any public money
In my opinion. this is not a sound inter
probation of the act The intention of the
legislature, as expressed by the words used
must always govern. The time of the current
school year has been changed, and it was
manlfestly not the intention of the legislature
to say that the current year shall consist OF
but nine months. for any purpose whatso
ever, and the act does not so provide, either
expressly or by necessary implication. II
seems, therefore, plain that the present, az
well as all future school years should be con
sidered to consist of II months
When the public moneys are next distrib
uted each district that has maintained 6
school for "a weeks during the year next pre-
eeding the last Tuesday in March will be en-
titled to its share. The legislature has moi
changed the length of time within which tn,
"a weeks must be kept, but has simply
changed the date from which the reckoning
is TO be made.
When, in 1888 the legislature changed thu
beginning OF the school year to July, / have
not heard that any one claimed that The
then current year was thereby nude to con
sist of 10 months. And yet, applying the
rule followed by Mr.. Palmer. such would
have been the effect of that enactment
There is no more reason for holding that tn,
present year consists of nine months. wheI

! kept within year.

EXCEPTION TAKEN TO SUPERINTENDENT PAL

Editor of the Phoenix Il have been very
much interested by the remarks of State Su-
perintendent Palmer, printed in your paper
Of last week, in relation to the new school
law. "a portion of the Superintendent's let
Ter is then quoted)
Now | take the liberty to differ with State
Superintendent Palmer in his opinion of the
new school law. In the first place he SAYS
the law just passed shortens the present
school year three months, and it ends the
last day of next March, which is true and is
as it was intended. Farther on he says the
school year is not determined by the caien-
dar, but is a creature of the legislature, and
may consist of nine or fifteen months. |
don't know what he means by saying the
school year is not determined by the calen-
daT. ! admit that it is a creature of the leg
islature, but does not consist of only nine
months. Now | would like to ask Superin-
tendent Palmer if the very act of the legisla-
ture in cutting off three months of the pres
ent school year does not of necessity also cut
Off the necessity of "A school district main
tanning 81 weeks of school in order to draw
the public money? Then, again, he says it is
not quite clear when the public money is to
be divided. And here is where we differ
again. In section 2nd of the new law, sec
ton 233 of the law of 1888, is amended by
striking out the words, between the third
thereof the words, on the Friday next pre-
ceding the last Tuesday of March," which
should think was plain enough for any one to
understand. | think section IL of the new
law has nothing whatever to do with the di-
vision of the public money.
