why America Is beating England.

/ why America Is heating EnrInnd
The American Review for June re-
prints i'll full the reports OF the Mosel,
commission, whnh recently came To the
United States from England for the
purpose Of investigating the advanta ges
possessed by the country in the race Tor
commercial supremacy. The results OF
that investigation are OF general inter.
est, Tor they show that England is dis.
posed to admit her inferiority in some
very important respects, and is resolved
to get rid "f her hhadicaps wherever
possible.
The commission was composed of
twenty.fonr members, consisting OF MIR.
Mosely, who paid the expenses Of the
trip, and twentytbree representatives
Of the leading trades unions Of Great
Britain.

In addition to these conclusions the
following tindnR- were reported:

These conclusions are extremely in

THE SCHOOL BOND EXCHANGE.
An Exhaustive Statement by Tia. State
Board 0f Education.

Board nf Education.
The State Board OF Education has
made very thorough and convincing
statement Of the exchange of the United
States bonds held by the State School
fund Ter Massachusetts Stntc bonds.
The explanation starts with the RECON-
mendation for the exchange made b,
Governor SadIer about two wears ago
+! and which WAS not carried unt by the
State Buari because il WIS not ac
quainied with the details Of the tinanciaI
operations and hcsitatcd until too late to
accept the recomTnr ndati"u of the Gov
| ernor.
The statement then details the pra
Lminary steps taken 10y the State Board
last winter and gives clearly the means
taken to ascertain the value and validity
OF Massachusetts State bonds. II next
takes up the law governing the State
Board OF Education and shows that il
gave them the power TO make the ex-
change and thRt the law was complied
with in every phase OF the transaction.
The value Of the Massach usetts bonds
are eXhaustively dealt with and they are
shown to be good safe investment in
every particular. To make PLAN the
urgent necessity for nctiob by the Board
review OF the operations OF the invest. +.
ment hy the State ia U. =. 4 per cent.
bonds maturing July ], 1907, is given.
The review shows thnt the highest rate
paid was l22lG and the lowest between
lO7 and l0S. From the highest rate paid
there has been constant and gradual
reduction i'll the market price Of the
bonds, ds,tluctuatiCna have been IN evidence,
but the natural tendency by reason Of
the near approach to maturity has al
why's been downward In 1901 the Gov
ernOrs message tO the legislature stated
that the bonds were worth in the market
ZIG, and SGS5,0 q in bonds were worth
s94,OCO. After hol1InG the bonds
two years they iwere ITO and worth

two years OF s4l.l00. Interest collected
in two years at 1 per cent S5i,sOO. De.
'"I' III NHlup HtlU We
have net profit OF sl3,lOO amounting
to per cent per annum. This showing
that the State had collected per cent
i'll interest in the last two years and lost
3 per cent by depreciation was sufficient
to arouse the Bonrd to realization of
the fnct That n premium Of 10 per cent
amounting to S69, 800 was still pending
md must be registered as a total loss
unless realized on in come manner with.
ID less than four years. After having
sustained loss during the last two
years OF 81 900 in value, and with
further loss Of sGS, 800 impending at the
end OF three years and nine months in
case the bonds should he held, the
Boa-d concluded TINT is would not only
