meaning a community living under what is
known as town government.
Going even farther aheld, BroolSine is

Surrounded by Boston, except at single

NOVELTY IN PHONETIC ARCHIvE
German EmpeTOr'a Voice the FiFst
Record Actually Taken for
America.

One OF the novelties of the last few years
is the establishment Of phonetic archives
in which the voices OF noteworthy persons
are TO be preserved. How important such
collections will be for the future may be
estimated by considering how we Of today
would appreciate them il they had been
made by our ancestors. We shall never
know how Shakespeare Intended Hamlet to
deliver his address to the players. lie had
his own notions concerning his plays, and
undoubtedly instructed his actors by pre-
cept, correction and example; but the voice
Is lost, and all we have today are the mere
printed words. In printers ink and metal
type We have nothiag but the mummy Of
an authors thought. How much more to
us would be Longfellows Psalm Of Life,''
spoken by his own voice, than 1t can ever
possibly be now? What would not tho
world give for record OF the voices IF So
phocles, Cicero, Charlemagne, Luther and
Washington?
Though the past is gone beyond recall,
we can save the present. We should pro-

are not yet available, but in 1905 the total
assessed valuation Of property was $780,
So, 100 This year It viii be $s500O,00O.
The expenditures for last year were
81, 75l.5 Ss.7s; the tax rate was Sl2 thousand,
which included state, county and special
assessments. This year the tax rate
dropped to 50 4 thousand. Just over the
village boundary line, citizens of Boston
pay more than twice that much.
Town Meeting Government.
But the most interesting thing about
Brookline IS it's form OF government 1t
is not only the richest, but the largest COM
munity under town meeting control.
As rule places become cities long be-
fore they reach the size OF Brookline. When
they do that their government is vested
in a mayor and board OF aldermen. Only
matters Of special significance are sub
mitted 10 the people.
In Brookline everything is submitted TO
the citizens. They may leave the details
TO the selectmen, but they vote directly
upon every municipal question.
The annual town meeting occurs about
the middle OF March. A printed notice OF
this or OF any other town meeting must
be left at the residence of every legal voter
at least seven DAYS beforehand IL practica-
BILE. In emergencies printed notices may be
posted In twenty public places and insc~'ai
IN Boston paper twenty-tour hours be-
fore the meeting.
These notices must contain a complies
list or the questions to come before the
meeting; what officers. If any, are to b.
/ elected; what appropriations considered
/ etc
The first act Of any town meeting, IN
| less it he an adjourned one is to choose ,

coed systematically 10 collect and preserve
the voices Of persons of historical, literary,
or linguistic Importance. Not long ago I
began to collect American voices, and had
a number of prominent men Statesmen,
college presidents, writer's, etc. make lists
that would include the most important ten
living Americans. The selections we're
highly interesting, but, Of course, cannot
be made public. 1t was most unexpected to
find that many Of the referees had difficulty
in selecting ten living Americans Of more
than temporary interest.
The first record actually taken FOR such
a permanent archive in America was that
OF a European, Through tho American
ambassador. Charlemagne Tower, applied
for a record of the voice Of the German
emperor, for preservation in durable ma
terial in Harvard university, the national
museum at Washington and tho library OF
congress at Washington. The record is TO
be kept as a historical document for pos
terity Tho phonetic archives at the insu-
tutions mentioned are to include records
from such persons az will presumably have
permanent historical interest for America.
The Importance OF the undertaking can
be estimated by considering the present
value OF voice records by Demosthenes,
Shakespeare or Emperor William the
Great.
The emperor consented and the apparatus
was set up in the palace. l asked for four
records, one for each OF the institutions
mentioned and one for my own scientific in
vestigatlon. The emperor however, made
only two records, designating one for Har-
ward university ana the other for the other
purposes. The two records were made by a
photograph with specially selected records
on wax cylinders Such cylinders are OF
no permanent value, because they are osteu

town hall" on such and such a day, "at
$3.50 o'clock in the forenoon"
Simplicity of Elections.
The story OF such an election day Is
rather interesting. Take the town meeting
Of last March, for instance.
Called to order at $50 a. m, the modera-
tor was chosen. the prayer offered, the
tellcrs and ballot clerks sworn and two or
three votes on special business taken be
fore twelve minutes Of z, when the polls
we're declared open. The town hall itself
was fitted up as a polling place, with a
rallied off space; eighty compartments for
the convenience OF voters, four ballot
boxes and four entrances to the same,
assigned alphabetically.
At the election thirty-five town officers
were chosen and the question of license
voted on. The result was announced at 6:24
I'm the evening.
Having disposed OF the election, the
town meeting came TO order again at 1880
p. M, chose the rest OF the officers, ac-
cepted the jury list, authorized the town
treasurer to borrow $JOo,0J0, stalled up
the check lists and ballot boxes. ballots
and tally sheets and-adjourned at $40!
Two weeks later the town meeting re-
convened and voted on every item OF the
year budget from aHNVD LOT SCHOOLS 10
$500 for grading and planting a lot.
There are about 440c registered voters
in BroOkline and tho first impression OF
the outsider is that a town meeting OF
1000 citizens would be a rather uuwieldy
body. As q matter % fact the floor of the
town hall seats only about 1000 persons
and there Is generally room and TO spare
for all who come.
or course voters come and 20 Wher
there is an election as they do at Other
polling places 50 that there are cas-
about $500 ballots during the day. Blu
