Address by Middlebury President.

An address OF unusual interest was
given under the auspices of the Centre
club in the Congregational church Sunday
evening when President John NJ Thomas
Of Middlebury college spoke on THE re-
Sponsibilty of the New England colleges A"
a good sized audience was present and all
We're deeply enthusiastic over the address
president Thomas spoke first of the
strength and resources of the colleges i'm
the United States, showing that there are
about 500 institutions commonly known as
colleges, but only POI which come under
the strict Interpretation of the word col
lege that is those having at least 100
students or at least Sl00. 600 in endowment
FUNDS. These POI colleges have $3.50 600
600 In endowments. OF this sum the New
England colleges have S55, OOO 900 or about
q per cent, while of the total number of
colleges New England has only nine per
cent. From these figures IL will be seen
that every boy or girl attending college
in New England has the benefit of SO OF
endowment where each student attending
outside OF New England has the benefit
or 81 of endowment In spite of these
conditions the New England colleges are
not wholly fulfilling their mission In
connecticut a commission appointed TO
investigate school conditions recently re-
ported that some of the Photographs taken
OF country schools were so bad that
they could not be sent through the mails
without violating the postal laws When
the expert supervision system went into
erect in Vermont a supervisor remon-
strated with a teacher in a school where
there was practically no equipment be-
cause little child was studying per-
centage, and he was told that the child
mad to begin there because the front part
OF the book was torn out. President
Thomas said it was to the shame of Yale
that such conditions existed in Connectl-
cut as it was to the shame Of MiddIeburv
that conditions like those mentioned exist
IN Vermont. The colleges are not serving
the states as they should and there should
be more direct communication between the
colleges and industry

Liquor Dealers Forced
To Tell About Business

The government is getting ready
to collect Georgia's liquor tax for the
fiscal year beginning July l; and IN
doing so is emphasizing the fact
that it is equally important for liquor
dealers to furnish the government
with detailed information of their
business as it is to pay the tax the
government imposes.
This information is spread on a
public record in the internal revenue
collectors office, where it provides a
complete list for all who pay the
government a liquor license and
furnishes one of the greatest aids the
government could give to the en-
forcement of prohibition.
Heretofore many selling liquors
in violation of the state prohibition
law have protected themselves
against the government by securing
a federal license. State officers can
hereafter know of all who secure
government license.
It has always been a law that
those securing government liquor
license should furnish details OF their
business. This law has not before
been enforced. But several weeks
ago all interal revenue collectors
throughout the country received In
structions from Washington that
this law should be enforced to the
letter.
WILL STRICTLY OBSERVE.
It will be strictly observed in the
collection of the government liquor
tax for the coming fiscal year. The
collector announces that dealer
paving his tax and failing to furnish
the information the government re-
ouires, had as well not paw his tax
at all. He will be treated as having
disregarded altogether the govern
ments liquor tax law.
Last week instructions were re-
cieved from Washington that the
government would sell no more
licenses in dry states. Before, liquors
seized by the revenue force in
Georgia had been accumulated in
Atlanta and sold at periods from the
Atlanta post office.
Immediately after disseminating
this custom, the government begins
the strict enforcement of law that
will be very effective in maintaining
prohibition. During the convention
