Extra Amount Spent Does Not Mean

nended-Prin. Whitaker's Report.

The annual report of the pruden-
tial committee and treasurer OF
school district No. for the year end
ing July |, 1904, has been issued this
week, and is furnishing interesting
reading TO large number who are
planning TO attend the school meet
ing Tuesday evening. The report OF
the treasurer shows that SS.9i2.06
must be carried 10 the account OF
the coming school year, but the COM
mittee says by way of explanation
Ithat this overdrawal does not mean
I that the expenses of the school are
necessarily Increasing. The principal
items which compose this amount
ARE Sl.0gl.61, carried forward from
last year as an overdrawn account.

\ of at that time. The sum voted by
/ the school district last year TO pro-
vide for special repairs has been
overdrawn by about $500. but the
committee explain this by saying
that IL seemed the wisest plan to
continue the repairs until they could
be safely left until another season. a
tax OF Ga cents on dollar of the
grand list is recommended.
The following extract from the re-
port of the committee is of especial
interest.
During the year one of the High
school bonds has been paid, amount
ing to So. 500. so that the bonded debt
has been diminished TO that extent.
II is but fair to state, however that
the floating Indebtedness is larger
than usual, and YOU win rightly de-
mand a reason for this. From the
treasurer's report II will be seen
that the amount of S3,942.06 must be
carried to the account of the coming
year Al first sight, ii would seem as
IL the routine expenses of our schools
We're rapidly increasing. II is not so.

the past year have exceeded very lit

any one of the few years preceding.

that. owing to the unusual severity OF
the weather. the past winter upwards
of $3.50 more was paid for fuel than is
the case. All bills payable
at this date amount to S369,1S. To
counterbalance this sum there is ow-
ing to the district 1896 In tuition fees.

Bio Strike Of Meat Packers.

As the result of a disagreement.
chiefly over wages for unskilled labor,
one of the most extensive strikes in
the history of the meat packing indus
try of the United States began Tues
day, July 12, in Chicago, Kansas City
Omaha. st. Joseph, Mo-, and other
cities where large packing plants are
located If prolonged the strike is
expected to cause widespread incon-
venience possibly equal to the an
thracite coal famine of two wears ago.,
Its unanimity was complete. over 45,-
900 employees being involved. In Chi
cago alone $4,000 men are on strike
and upwards of 10000 more are in
volved indirectly and most of them
probably will be made ille In addi-
tion to the tie-up of the slaughtering
of all the plants, the
strike affects branch industries in
which such articles as butterine
soaps. buttons and combs are manu-
factured. Canning departments
where beans, soups, and all kinds of
meats are put up are also hit hard.

DISCHARGED and Despondent.

Frank Ballou, aged 6S years COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself with
his clothes to bed post at Bellows
Fails. Sunday afternoon. He had been
employed during the last four years
in the machine shop of the Vermont
Farm Machine company and was dls-
charged Saturday. The deceased was
former resident of Keene, N. H., where
his wife and one son are buried. A
brother. Warren Ballou, for years
tailor in Bellows Falls, now of Han
over, \. H., survives him.
The suicide was committed at ms
room at the home of John Collins and
the body was discovered by Mr.. COL
Inns before the man was dead. A ply
sician was Immediately summoned.
but efforts of resuscitation were in
vain. The town authorities took
charge of the body.

Paul kruuer Dead.

Paul Kruger, former president of
the Transvaal republic, died at Clar-
ems. Switzerland yesterday from
pneumonia and supervening heart
weakness. His daughter and son-in-
law were with him at the time of his
death. The ex-president's body will

ish government for authority to
transport the body to the Transvaal.
In the meantime it will be temporarily
buried at Clarens Mr.. Kruger had
been gradually failing for a long time,
but had attended to his affairs and
received visitors up to Saturday. He
had expressed a desire to be buried
beside his wife in his own country.

hurry back TO school TO work hare
directly after eating.
on the fourth point there is no
much 10 be said. We do at the pres
ent time have an afternoon session
for pupils who are delinquent In any
way, an arrangement generally dis
tasteful TO pupils and largely so Z
parents. The frequent objection tS
return in the afternoon now existing
/ indicates no great desire for regular
lafternoon sessions. II Is true tha'
the school does not now look aftel
most of its pupils during the after
noon. Is that a very worthy argu-
ment? Is not the home able and will
ing TO care for its children? Why
not follow out this line OF reasoning
and continue the session until six
o'clock or have another one in the
evening?
The real objection TO the one ses-
sion comes solely on the ground OF
health as affected by early break
fasts and late dinners. The early
breakfast is small matter. The late
dinner can be helped somewhat by a
lunch. But how would the two ses-
sion system affect this matter OIL
health? 1t would mean, as already
school 10 work directly after a din
ner eaten hastily, probably. and with
out much care as to whether the pu-
pil was in proper condition to eat or
not. II would mean being shut up
until four o'clock and the postponlng
of all outdoor exercise and recreation
until that time. In the winter that
would mean until after dark. 1t would
also mean no home study or else all
evening study, Few people would
fully approve that. The change
would also mean that mothers could
not have the help of their girls IN
household cares in the afternoon.
Bows would be unable to help their
people nj home or do anything Tor
their self-support This would work
distinct hardship in many cases
and lead TO loss of school opportunity
for many boys. who are in senool now
only because they can support them
selves by afternoon work. The
change would also be a hardship ior
many pupils who come in from out
side. 1t would lessen materially the
number of tuition pupils.
The objections To the two session
system are suggested by these ques-
tions: Do you want your children
deprived of their freedom in the af-
ternoon and forced TO get their out
door recreation after dark in the
winter? Do you want them TO do
more of their studying in the even
ing than they do now? Do you want
to cut off the opportunity Of many
boys for self-support and so for High
school education? Do you want to
deprive mothers of their girls help
In household cares?
The one session system Is rapidly
gaining ground. In rare instances
only has any change been made back
to the old system. This may be no
argument for us. but it does show
how other people regard these ques-
lions which have been suggested.

KinesIey's Body Probably Found.

The body found in the Harlem river
Wednesday night, July 1S. by the New
York police is probably that of Hen
~ Baxter Kingsley of Rutland. His
father Maj. L. G. Kingsley. and his
brother. Harvey r. Kingsley, believe
that the mystery is at last cleared up
and went to New York yesterday.
The effects found in the clothing in
dicate with apparent certainty the
identity of the body. Chief among
these was a membership card in the
New York Athletic club. made out to
H B. Kingsley. Next in importance
to this were the initials, H. b. X"
on the inside of a gold ring on one Of
the fingers.
