SCHOOL. SAVINGS BANKS

a gratifying beginning has been
made in the matter of establishing
school savings banks in Vermont, and
there is every prospect that the move
ment will continue to grow among the
schools Of our State Since the intro
duction in this country Of the European
plan Of school savings institutions in
1885 the enormous amount of SIS 900, =
600 has been saved throughout the
country by our public school pupils
and Vermont has established twenty
eight such banks with $50 Iepositors
and with .5,o2s in deposits.
Each teacher collects savings from
the pupils and constitutes himself or
herself school bank and so far the
system has worked to the entire salts
faction OF all concerned. In the larger
cities, according to the report of tho
comptroller Of the currency, the stamp
savings system and the various provi-
dent funds are all tributary to the
system of school savings banks 1r
the whole country there are 5,523 sucl
banks. the number In the different

Is THE STEAM ENGINE PASSING.

The champions of steam power would
gestion of the danger that their pet
engine might become obsolete, yet SO
good an authority as the geological
survey, which has been conducting a
series of experiments announces re-
suits calculated to revolutionize manu-
featuring and transportation. Eminent
engineers are said to have reached the
conclusion that we have come to the
passing Of the steam engine and that
the 'internal combustion motor" is be-
ginning to take It's place.
1t is declared by the government ex-
perts and others who have been ex-
perimenting with gas engines that the
new form of power can be applied to
transportation also through the use OF
electricity. and the action of the New
New York Central and the New
Haven roads in deciding to equip q
considerable section OF their lines with
electricity Is cited.
One OF the big things about the new
power. as the government experts sec
It, is the fact that internal combustion
motors can be run on the poorest quail,
ity Of coal. and even on Ignite ant
peat. In fact, anything in the way OF
fuel that will produce gas is goot

OH. TRUST DROUGHT TO JUDGMENT

1t looks now as though the STANDARD
Oil company might have to declare or
at least earn another big dividend TO
pay the little fine of s2o,240,0 900 i'm
posed by Judge Lands of the United
state court for accepting rebates from
the Chicago & Alton and other rail-
roads. 1t may not be wise to crow
Unfortunately over the punishment Of
the trust in this instance, though for
sooner or later the Standard people
will probably make the public pay this
fine by boosting petroleum prices.
1t is worth while, however, TO have
penalty of this size imposed on the
standard Oil company; and this Is
probably the view taken of the situa-
ton by Judge Lands for the report Of
the case says that not only is the fine
the largest ever assessed against any
individual or corporation in the his

ADV ERTISING VERMONT.

II the attractions of Vermont are not
thoroughly advertised to the travelling
public this season 1t will not be because
of the failure of various organiza tons
and interests to adop. commendablc
measures OF publicity in this connection.
The latest and In some respects the
most noteworthy project in this direction
is that undertaken by the Vermont COM
mission to the jamestown terccntennial
exposition, which has had printed for
free distribution at the worlds fair in
question an illustrated brochure exploit
ing the Green Mountain State and its
resources as well as its attractions for
both visitors and prospective residents.
This handsome publication was COM
piled by Editor Frank l.. Greene of the
St, Adams Messenger. which is equiva-
lent to saying that the work has been
brilliantly we'll as satisfactorily done.
Tho compiler has aimed to present in
brief but comprehensive way a general
DRY of the main social institutions,
business interests. and natural resources
of the State, so that the whole field Is
touched upon sufficiently to prompt any
| regard to any part of It to make further
inquiry; and we believe he has succeed
ed.
The brochure of the jamestown COM
| mission will probably escape the criti-
| cism directed against tho recent pub
| licaton of the board of agriculture on
latter of number Of the leading counties
in the state. The work under considera
| ton shuns the charge of partially by
speaking of "A typical Vermont granite
quarry for example, instead of label
ing the illustration. Indeed the brochure
goes further While all phases of Yer.
mont life and interests pertinent 10 the
task are reviewed, THE name of no bust
| ness concern is given, no vacation re.
sort is advertised, and the name of nc
living Vermonter is mentioned" 1t viii

the book advertlses any particular in

beds in the far West can be used for
fuel; for It has boon demonstrated that
the internal combustion motor will pro-
duce more power even from poor lig-
mite than can be produced by first class
coal when used under n steam boiler
Also It is promised that the smoke
ished. for the internal combustion mo-
tor produces no smoke.
That the new form of power has
passed the experimental stage Is shown
by the fact that internal combustion
motors OF 5000 horsepower have al
ready been constructed and are In sue
cessful operation. The engine has
demonstrated it's ability to produce
from two to nearly three times az
much power with given amount or
coal MS the steam engine. Not only
this, but II has proved that the very
poorest Goals in the gas producer gen
crate twice the power that the same
coal does In the steam plant. sui

the Ignite has refused to do any work

coal bill in 19o5 was 81 500 900, 900. One
third of this, or $500, 100000, went for
coal to produce power.
For three years the government eX-
perts labored at the fuel testing plant
at st. Louis with striking results. The
p,ant. so far as fuel testing Is CON
cerned. has been moved to Norfolk,
! Va, where the tests are being contln-
ucd. It was found at the beginning
that the losses In the utilization of
fuel for the development Of power, heat
| AMI light were so great that in ton
of coal consumed in an ordinary manu-
featuring plant less than five per cent
of the total energy was available for
the actual work of manufacturing. II
was found also that in ordinary loco

the train This is about the same as
70 n housewife took barrel Of -four
and succeeded in getting only one
small biscuit as the entire result.
Robert Haywood Fcrnald. an cngi-
Incer employed by the government in
charge of producer gas tests under the
geological survey says that the value
OF the results is not limited to the coal
producing section of the country, but
that It extends through all the states
and Territories where even poor
grade of fuel Is found, lie thinks the
manufacturers Of New England alone
can save from s15,OOO,o0O to 100000

lfacturers is approximately S5O,oOo'ooo
"Furthermore." said Mr.. Fernald "ii
gas producers can be introduced or

millions be saved n coal but far less
room will be required on board for its

The Importance of this movement
cannot be too strongly emphasized, In
this rapid age the habit OF saving Is
not likely to become too pronounced
on the part of Young America ana 1t
Is impossible to adequately measure
the value of this habit to the youth of
this country, directly and indirectly.
The desirabiity of saving will not only
be impressed on the young minds di-
rectly concerned, but like other cA
ampIes, the saving of dimes Is likely
to become contagious to n greater or
less degree among the associates Of the
young depositors in these school saw
ings banks. 1t is to be hoped that the
movement may be encouraged In every
possible way in the Green Mountain
