ARBITRATION DEVELOPMENT
Typographical Union Leads in Effort
at industrial Peace.

az INDUSTRIAL Peace.
The consolidation Of great industries
in a like field, and the organization OF
wage-earners following a particular
industry, naturally resulted in the
strike Of national Importance. Par
ticularly during the past five years
has this been noticeable, and public
spirited citizens recognizing this
menace to the prosperity Of our coun-
try, have exerted all possible effort
toward the settlement Of wage and
hour disputes before the danger point
is reached.
Prominent among the agencies that
have worked for industrial peace is
the National Civic Federation. and the
activity of this body has attracted
national attention Students Of econ
omic and industrial development have
been diligent in seeking a remedy for
industrial disturbances The tendency
is toward the recognition of arbitra-
tion as the panacea, but 1t still re-
mains for the employer and the union
to work out the method or arbitration.
1t Is an easy mater to call for 'sarbi-
tration, but 1t is most difficult task

suit In q fair and just decision
Perhaps the most noticeable in
stance of the working out OF an arbi-
tration agreement is presented in the
compact between the American News

and the International Typographical

THE MOVABLE FEAST OF EASTER

THE MOVABLE FEAST OF EASTER.
Just why Easter Sunday is movable
date is an often asked question. 1t is an
swered In The Housekcoper for April.
Easter Sunday is the great movable feast
of the church year, When it is fixed the
other movable dates of the church readily
fall into place. Faster cannot happen
earlier than March 90 nor later than
April 25, hut between these extremes IT
has range OF thirty-fve days on
which to occur. To explain how this
range was given would first remind my
readers of what, of course, every ono
knows, |. e., that Easter Sunday is OBJ
served to commemorate the raising of
Christ from the dead. When this COM
memorative practice began, about the
close of the first century after Christ
died. the records showing the exact
dates OF crucihxlon and resurrection had
been lost, but It was known that the
Saviour was crucihed during Passover
week. Christians of the Asatic churches
therefore, kept the 14th Of the month
Nissan, the day on which the Jewish Pas
sover began. as the resurrection day. but
the Western churches more accurately
kept the anniversary on the Sunday fol-
ference in custom caused a most bitter
controversy between the Eastern and
Western churches, which was at last
settled in 1926 A. ID. by a decision of the
Church Council at Nice This declared
that Easter Sunday should be observed
on the first Sunday after the full moon
occurring on or next after the 2ist OF
March. Should this full moon fall on a
Sunday, the Sunday after Is Faster Sum
day, This arrangement was adopted be-
cause March q is very near the date o
the vernal equinox and tradition exist
ed that this equinox had occurred Inn
mediately before the crucihxion, It is not
possible to state the exact frequency with
which this date falls In March, II occurs
thus fifteen times within the first half OF
the twentieth century 1t may be noted
that this day falls on It's extreme dates.
March % and April %. only at very long
intervals, In 1856 Easter fell upon its
latest date which has not occurred before
In tho nineteenth century and will not
occur again until 1913. The last time Eas-
ter fell upon Its earliest date was in 1918.

PROCTOR ON THE SCHOOLS.
Emphasizes school Supervision As Rest
Work of JeuisIature

Rutland, April Thirty school direc-
tors attended the county meeting held in
this city to-day by state Superintendent
Mason S. Stone to familiarze the dlrec-
tors Of the small towns with the features
| OF tie new school laws, principally school
supervision ana school Capitalization. The
meeting was very infoma and the
directors discussed local conditions freely.
Gov. Fletcher d. Proctor spoke on the
principal phases of the new educational
legislation and Supt. Stone spoke on CEN
tralzation of schools.
Mr.. Stohe said that statistics covering
the period from 1870 to 1900 showed that
there was an exodus from the rural dis
| tricts to the cities and villages where
there were better schools. Explaining the
object Of centrahzng schools he said that
in the small school the pupil is often
in class by himself and Is deprived of
the chances for development Of industrious
habits and self improvements brought
about by competition with other pupils.
GOVERNOR AS SCHOOL DIRECTOR.
Governor Proctor. who was the next
speaker, said that he was in Rutland as
school director of the town of Proctor
and not in his official capacity He char
lacterized the school supervision feature
of the new educational laws as the most
important bill passed by the last Legisla-
ture. 1T will mark the Legislature of
1906 as having done more for tho state Of
Vermont than any previous Legislature in
many years, he said. Supervision is not
obligato tory.
Tho speaker believed that the whole
proposition had back of It the improve
ment of the schools of Vermont There
has been considerable change in Vermont
in the last % or 40 years. Formerly the
parents assisted the younger children in
the home more than they do to-day. 1t is
the duty of the State Of Vermont to meet
these changed conditions. If the State
fails to meet them it is sure to result
most injuriously. Foreigners are coming
into the communities in Vermont more
and more and 1t will be advantageous and
a help to the State If their children are
educated to be good American citizens.
SUPERVISION WILL STAY.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
state provide better and different ed
vocational facilities than ever before.
To get results 1t is necessary to bring
In touch with the students and teach
ers those trained and skilled in the
particular line of work Teachers
would be so per cent better if they
had help from trained minds. Local
boards of education arc not equipped
to help them and II Is not to be won

aged. There must he a proper educa-
tional sentiment aroused in each COM
