MUNICIPAL COURTS IN VERMONT
TOWNS.

The several bills which came before the
Vermont legislature at its last session
TO establish municipal courts" In various
communities caused some wonderment,
were only small towns and, as a rule,
have criminal or other prosecution only
once d dogs age. In the list of the
towns so provided for and embellished
with all the dignity that a municipal
court may bring, was the town Of
Springfield, place Of three or four
thousand population. We were dot
aware that Springfield was so fearfully
wicked that it needed a trial Judge with
salary Of 5000 per annum to be ready
\ To sit at any and all occasions for the
dispensing of Justice to the maIefactors.
Nor does there seem to be unanimity
of opinion in Springfield itself regarding
such necessity. The towns newspaper,
The Reporter, takes similar view Of
the matter and declares that this bill,
from its inception, has been quietly ere
ated. quietly carried through both houses
and quietly handed to the governor for
lis signature. There cannot, Of course,
be overpowering fault found with that
method Of procedure. although there
might be condemnation of il among GER
tain people But the gravest complaint
lies in the statement Of the Springfield
contemporary as follows; @That
Springfield does not need municipal
court seems to us a self-eyident fact
and that the bin was created as a soft
berth for its sponsor or someone else is
also a self-evident fact; Furthermore,
1--WE have not received sufficient proof
that a Judge with salary Of $500 t2l
here in Springfield can administer JUS
tice in any greater degree Of satisfac-
ton than has heretofore been accom-
plished by the expenditure Of 500"

Some Of the reasons why fraternities
should not be tolerated in the public
schools are outlined well in the follow
ing paragraph from the Boston Herald,
which seeks to keep the societies out Of
the schools Of its city; ~The school
board Of Boston should be given any ad-
ditional authority it needs to deal de-
cisively with the high school secret So
ciety evil. Suburban towns hereabouts
and large towns and cities elsewhere in
the country have postponed dealing with
this Issue, and have regretted it deeply.
Action taken now can scotch what later
may take stubborn fight to kill, The
public schools, supported by rich and
poor, open to all and based on a funda-
mental democratic instinct of equality
Of opportunity, are not places for setting
up societies that involve burdens Of ex-
panse upon pupils or their parents, that
divert attention from legitimate school
life and that create castles within the
school"

Water Waste a Burden.

The interest Of the tenant and small
consumer in the matter Of lower water
rates is identical with that of the real
estate owner or large consumer. The
cost of the water service. like the cost
of all public administration, is ulti-
mately distributed on great and small,
rich and poor Waste Of water increas-
es the cost of the metropolitan eque-
duct service. Boston pays so per cent.
of the cost. If the waste Of water
causes Boston an unnecessary annual
expense Of 100000. and Il likely to
incur an otherwise unnecessary invest
ment of $2s,00o0O0 in extension of the
metropolitan supply, the checking Of
that waste appears to be one of the
most important duties Of the mayor
and responsible officials Of the city gov
eminent. Actual experience Of other
cities proves that the meter system not
only reduces the general expense Of the
e9ueduct service and the per capita av-
erage, but that through it's enforced
economy the smaller individual bills
show the greater percentage of saving.
