Rev. ]. W. Miller,
Bethel, VI.

Dear Mr.. Miller
am happy TO see that there il pending
before the committee on education Of the
present house OF Representatives House
bill number 4S4, entitled, IAN Act to
Provide for more Certain and Systematic
HYGIENE and Temperance Instruction In
the Public Schools" % our state, which
vas introduced by you. The terms OF
the bill seem conservative, yet sufficient,
and Il viii be efficient because OF the
very practical requirement that IL the in
struction Is not given, the public moneys
win not be paid over. Formerly our laws
ahjxed a penalty for noncompliance
with the Law upon that subject, and the
subject received general attention in our
schools; later the penalty dropped out OF
the statute and faithful compliance with
its provisions was no longer the rule.
This have very much regretted. In our
public schools is the only opportunity for
wise and sane instruction Of all our fu-
ture citizens in this most important
branch Of elementary education. It Is an
opportunity not to be neglected or slight
ed. sincerely hope the bill win meet
with approval in our general assembly
and that ii will become a law. It Is leg
islation that has no doubtful aspect. and
will aid largely to secure that better, as
well as greater, Vermont in the accom-
piishmnet Of which all good citizens are
most deeply interested.
Most truly yours.

Report on East GrmnvIlle Wreck.
The state board OF railroad commission
ers reports that the Central Vermont rail-
road company has discharged . fiagman
and the conductor on one train and the
whole crew Of another train, because Of
alleged failure 70 do their duty, which
caused collision between q aouthbound
passenger train and an extra south bound
freight ct East GranvilIe Oct. last. The
passenger train No. had stopped because
Of the setting OF the air-brakss due 20 the
breaking of valve on the mail car. A
fiagman was sent back to warn the
freight train due 10 leave Roxbury ten
minutes after the passenger train.
The hagman went about forty rods,
finds the commission, and signaled the
approaching freight train, but be did not
20 far enough to prevent the collision.
in spite Of the fact that the engineer Of
the freight set his brakes. The engineer
vas not able 70 avert collision, and the
100 passengers on the stalled passenger
train were badly shaken Up. while Martin
Moore, chef on the buffet, got one leg
acalded, ssprobably from hot cofIee-'
The commissions findings on the case
are
SIT results from the foregoing, and We
find, that this collision, which might
have resulted in the loss Of many lives,
was due to the combined negligence Of
the fagman in not exercising proper diIi-
gence. and the negligence of the train
crew on said extra AIS in leaving Rox-
bury sooner than ten minutes after No.
passed there, in violation OF said rule.
s'The railway company has recognized
this negligence in discharging the flag
man on No. 2, and the whole crew Of ex-
ira 4:1s. The company has also dis
charged the conductor on No. 2 because
OF his claimed failure to see to 1t that the
fagman diligently performed his duty.
