BOSTON. Mass. March 2-Some Of RE
leading banks in Vermont. with promise OF
aid from banks in Maine and New Hamp-
shire have formed an association TO fight

scheme TO bring all the banks OF New
England into It's foreign clearing depart
meur' and the Clearing House AszCcia-i u
iu retaliation has practically b.aCk.l5tei z
the Vermont institutions. It has provided
for the imposition Of $1,000 huc OF al
banks in the association which fail to eN-
act a charge CT not less than Oae-tenth Of
one per cent upon all cheeks OF the pro-
scribCd banks.
IL was In Vermont that the renlonstrauts
were in largest fcrcC The Boston Clear

and issued an official circular. stipu ating
that after March 1 a charge Of OlC-teuth
of one per cent Of their face If amounting
to $lO0 or over. and of 10 cents il f5r
any amount less than that sum, On all
checks drawn upon them must be eNlctei
by the banks in the association
Some OF the Up-cOuntry banks are enlist
ing the cooperation OF their customers in
the present fight and several Of the latter
have declared that if checks on the local
banks they do business With which are
sent to Boston merchants and others are
not accepted at par they viii be able to
find other merchants who will accept
them"
This threat would seem to imply the
possibility of a commercial as well as a
financial boycott. The contest may reach
such a point that the Vermont dissenters
and their New Hampshire Sympa hizers
may organize an independent Gearing
house association of their own.

Gently submitted a report on the condi-
tion of the schools IN their locality, which
was referred to the District Commission
ers. with the request that they bring the
matters contained therein to the atten-
tion Of Congress. The report said. in
part:
we believe that the health of the
pupils is a questiu.: o. paramount inter
est. not only to parents. but to the s ate.
and we respectfully recommend that the
District Commissioners be requested to
submit the question of medical supervision
of our schools to the medical societies for
their discussion and opinion.
We cordially endorse rule No. "a of
the Rules of the Public Schools. adopted
January Il, 1889. which forhids assigning

I've sixth grade. and we e. rnestly recon-
mend its re-enactment and strict enforce

insist that the playrooms be opened on
each school day not later than $50 O'Clock
and that no child be compelled or al
lowed to 90 out Of the school building dur-

mend that the appropriation for the school
at Fifteenth and Rosedale Streets be in
creased sufficiently to build, as was origi-
nally intended. and that an appropriation
for site and eight-rOOm building near
Twelfth Street and Florida Avenue be
urged. and that said appropriations be
made immediately available, as the popu-
lation Of those ne!ghborhoods is rapidly
increasing.
I'VE would also request the Commls-
siOners to include in their estimates for
next year an item for the purchase OF a
site and the erection of a building in
Northeast Washington. to be used for a
manual training school"
The members Of the committee formu-
lating and signing the report were Loring

The report was referred by the Com
misSlOners to the Board OF School Trus-
