Changes in the School Laws.

Walter e. Ranger, state superin-
tendent of education, corrects the mis-
understanding widely existing that all
teachers must be re-eXamined in
April. No changes were made in
the school laws regarding the time,
place, method or character of the eX-
aminations. Certain changes were
made lessening the frequency of ex-
aminations affecting teachers as
whole. One important change in the
law provides for the issuing of a spe
cial second grade certificate without
examination to teachers of recent
successful experience who have held
first or second grade certification, or
equivalent certification in other
states. Another change was to ex-
tend the privilege of continuous GER
tification under continuous employ
ment to teachers in all schools, when
the teachers hold first grade certifi-
Gates, or a certificate of the second
grade granted on examination. Hold
ers of third grade certificates and Of
second grade certificates obtained
without examination, who have had
continuous certificatiOn under con-
tinuous employment, are now placed
in the same situation as all the
teachers of their class throughout
the state This small class of teach
ers, probably one siXtieth of all, will
be required to have new certifcation
for the spring term. The changes
in the law were largely designed to
avoid unnecessary examination of ex-
perienced teachers, and to give great
er fiexibility, better adaptation and
greater unity to the system of certi-
! fication.

BrattIeboro Man Disappeared.

The Boston dailies have had stories
this week OF the strange disappearance
of Leroy Willis. of Brattleboro, tea
statesmen for a Boston house, who regis
tered with mis- son, Is, at the Mansion
House in Hudson, Mass Friday. The
boy awoke early Saturday morning and
found his father gone, but he had left
an overcUat and a grip containing clothes
for himself and boy. The local authori-
ties in hudson are of the opinion that
Willis has committed suicide. The boy
told them of the domestic infelicities of
his father and mother, and how a sepa-
ration took place a short time ago, the
mother going from BrattleborO with a
daughter of Is, a younger son, and a
baby of Is months, but he would not talk
freely. The boy viii be turned over tenn
porarily to the overseer of the poor in
Hudson.
Mrs. L. f. Brooks of Brooks Inn, Con
cord Mass, has written to Brattleboro
this week to get information about Will
lis and his son. The two came to her
house after dark the night of Feb. 26.
They said they were very cold and Mrs.
Brooks made them comfortable for the
night. In the morning Willis went down
town, leaving the boy with Mrs. Brooks.
That night the boy left, unbeknown to
Mrs. Brooks, taking the satchel Win
him.
An inn keeper in Winchester, Mass,
has also sought information in Bratue-
boro, relating that he had an experience
similar to that of Mrs. Brooks.

The Phoenix has no disposition TO
squirm or to jump on the passing
band wagon 1t believes that license
will increase the consumption of liq.
uors and will work to the detriment
of individuals. of families, of commun-
tiles and of the state. But prohibi-
tiOn has been knocked out. not in the
whole state, but in the particular
towns where it is not wanted. The
situgtion is not hopeless even from
the standpoint of the most strenuous
defenders Of temperance The towns
which have voted no will get prohibit
tion Of the genuine brand. With one
per cent. beer declared an intoxicating
liquor and a conviction for violation
of the law sure to bring a $500 fine
and probably Imprisonment. the liq-
nor traffic will be pretty effectually
stamped out in nearly two-thirds Of
the towns of the state. In other
towns liquor will be sold under sane
tion of the law, but there are provis-
ions for strict control. The whole
question of dealing with the sale of
intoXicants is a great and serious
problem. In Vermont there has been
a clamor for a change, and many peo-
pie We're ready to fly from present
/ evils to those they know not of. In
towns like BrattlebOro which have
gone for license by narrow margin,
there will be a revulsion OF feeling if
it is apparent that a change for the
worse has been made. The saloon is
monster of vice which fastens its
tentacles upon all victims it can
reach But we are drifting away
from the teachings of some of the
great leaders, Abraham Lincoln
among them, if we are of so little
faith as to believe that the people
cannot take care of themselves. Pro
hibition has had it's trial and has been
rejected. License is now on trial
1t must prove itself" or answer to
the people. There is danger in the
new law, but the law must be sup
ported and given a fair trial What
ever ones belief it is not a time tC
lie pronely and to indulge in pessi
mistic forebodings. We must face the
situation high of heart and resolutt
of faith" and must be ready to strike
blow if the need appears.

1t is hardly a decade since the
Democrats beat their tom-toms to the
cry of billion dollar Congress, ~
and indulged in wild denunciations of
extravaganza. Thomas B. Reed re-
piled at that time that this was a bill
lion dollar country. Our growth and
increase in wealth since that time can
hardly be commensurate with our
strides in expenditures. Representa-
tive Livingston of Georgia, the rank
ing Democratic member of the House
committee on appropriations, is out
with statement to the effect that the
minimum estimate of the appropria-
tions made at the two sessions of Con
gress just ended is over 81 900, 900 900
He says the surplus revenues of the
government amount to s4T1 ,000, 900,
and that as long as there is the temp
tation of such surplus there will be
eXtravagant expenditures.

$4,41e, 200 for Vermont Roads in Ten
Years.

i
| State Highway Commissioner j. o.
Sanford figures that in the past ten
years the state raised SSS36 for
highway improvements, and the towns
$3,543,560, making a total expenditure
of $4,418, ,2OO-$296 for every mile of
road in the state or an average per
year. of about $50 per mile. Consider
! ing that this includes all streets,
roads, back country lanes, and every
thing that is an open road, and taking
into account the large mileage of mar
row back roads that are but little
used and upon which but little money
is expended, this showing is not
satisfactory, says the commissioner.
Mr.. Sanford thinks the chief cause
is unbusinesslike methods in town
management, and that in some cases
the mistake is made of choosing men
who lack the essential qualities Of
comprehension, good road judgment
and business ability. There is great
| loss in working the roads out of sea
son and in neglecting them so they
DtNOAut tAptHSlhC " ltDulIu. 1 ut
commissioner makes this suggestion
about permanent road building: More
economic measures should be adopted
for maintaining roads, and more of
the town money should be used with
the state money for permanent road
work. 1t costs much less to keep
good road than is now used upon poor
roads that are perpetually poor
Towns that are succeeding best in i'm
proving their roads are using an in
creasing portion of their town fund,
in connection with the state appropri-
alton, in road building of permanent
character And if towns were re-
quired by law to provide at least one
third of the amount that is expended
in those towns under state supervis-
ion, it would induce a better admin
istration, and increase the mileage of
good roads"
The amount of money which Yer
mont is eXpending ought certainly to
bring more noticeable results. In
many towns it is impossible to see
ihdl lit iOduS dlt any btlltI IUtn
when the present policy began.
There are notable exceptions. and we
have in mind one Windham county
towns where people returning after a
term of years remark Immediately up
on the improvement in the roads. ana
this is town where the natural con
ditions of soil are not favorable for
good roads. The commissioner of the
town referred to is a man who is sue
cessful in his own business and who
directs the repairing and building of
roads more for the interest he has in
the work than for the compensation
which comes to him Road commits
sioners at present are allowed SO per
day for their work. This may be
salary enough in some of the smaller
towns, but in the larger centres of
trade where thousands of dollars are
expended each year and a large force
of men are employed, the salary is
too small. You can't employ great
captains of industry at So per day at
the present time.

Great care should be taken in the
selection by the selectmen of license
commissioners. On the commission
ers depend in large measure the work
ines of the law. Men should be
chosen who are in sympathy with the
law and who voted for It, but who
wish 10 see the use OF liquors dimin-
lshed rather than extended. The
first commissioners named were by
Mayor Jackson of Barre. and the al.
dermen promptly confirmed his
choice. All three are representative
men-Frank f. Langley. editor OF the
Barre Times. Dr. J. b. McSweeney
and Rev. b G. Roberts.

Brattleboro came in the comic valen.
tines sent by some one whose zeal
for temperance ran away with his
judgment. They were mailed in large

they aroused disgust and made votes
for the license cause They were the

The senatorial deadlock in Della
ware ended Monday in the election of
DR.. L. H. Ball, regular Republican, to
the short term, and j. Frank Alice,
chairman Of the union state Repub-
lican committee, to the long term.
The result was in the nature of a COM
promise, Ball being opposed to Ad-
dicks. the millionaire gas man and
would-be dictator, while Alice, who
gets the big prize, is one of Addick's S
strikers. The slogan of "Addicks or
nobody" had to be abandoned. Ad-
dicks has not given up the fight. He
says that he will be elected to the
Senate in two years, and that he will
eventually control the state. Con
gressman Dick of Ohio, representing
Republican leaders in Washington
came to Dover to urge the warning
factions TO cease their struggles, and
his good offices were responsible in
large measure for the compromise
agreement.
