PENSION FUND FOR
VERMONT TEACHERS
An Explanation Given of the Purpose of
the Vermont Teachers Retirement
Fund Association and the
"Penny Slip" Idea.

Sirteen pennies make on foot Five
miles of pennies, or S4,S44 will provide
working basis for the Vermont Teach
ers' Retirement Fund association, an or
genization whose purposes are altogeth-
er too unfamiliar to those citizens and
communities supposed to take an active
interest in the educational welfare Of
| Vermont
The association is endeavoring to raise
| a fund TO be used in retiring upon half
pay, teachers of lengthy terms of serv-
lee in the public schools Of the state in
the same way in which the Carnegie
| fund is used for college professors.
Out of her salary Of 81 cents day,
the average Vermont teacher cannot lay
aside anything for her old age and days
OF incapacity. TO be sure, wages are
better than they were ten years ago
but are still below the standard main
tanned in many other states. 1t has
appeared to many that one OF the hard
est projects to place IN a favorable light
before conservative people was the pro-
icct OF educational welfare. The teach
ers hope to dispute this contention by
referring to the ardent support OF Yer
mont citizens as regards the raising OF
the retirement fund. In twenty-five
states such provision is made and Yer
mont cannot afford to lag behind. Every
protection and comfort should be hedged
about her teachers to improve their
teaching abilities and To encourage them
to remain in the state
With no such fund available, Vermont
is doing little for her most faithful up
builders. There are now being distribut
ed penny strips, foot in length, each
capable of holding sixteen pennies, the
proceeds to be devoted to the fund. Al
ready a number of slips have been dis
posed OF in Brattleboro Proctor, ST.
Johnsbury Montpelier and the Proctor
and Montpelier Woman's clubs have con
tributed substantially. 1t is expected
Barre teachers will interest themselves
in the strips and there is friendly ri
yalTy between the teachers OF the sew
raj towns and cities as TO which will
dispose of the most slips and thus make
the most substantial addition to the
cause
+ Governor Mead is a member of the
board of managers and the new rule
of l6 pennies To the foot should be
adopted to Barre citizens in support of
their teachers. The successful issue of /
this campaign is in the interests Of
every citizen as well as in the direct |
cause OF the teachers

MEDICAL INSPECTION IN SCHOOLS.

MEDICAL lNSPEC1lON IN SCHDOI4S,
The women of Burlington worked with
determination in behalf of medical in
speetion in the public schools and the
proposition was endorsed BY vote Of
two to one. Medical inspection in the
schools means less sickness in the homes,
fewer epidemics, more attention to per.
sonal cleanliness. Sooner or later it will
be in force in every town.-Brattlebor
Reformer.
1t seems to us that there is great
deal of merit in the plan which the
women of Burlington are credited with
having put through, or helped materially
10 have put through. We assume that
the purpose of the plan is to examine
each public school scholar and pass upon
his physical fitness before he is allowed

that he is in shape to continue. And

Milking the Country Banks.

Manager Scherer, of the New York
Clearing House, testified to many
things before the Money Trust investi-
eating committee that will cause the
country banks to sit up .and take
notice.
The clearing house was shown to be
composed of fly New York banks. No
bank win capital stock amounting to
less than S1,0O0.0OO is eligible to
membership.
Mr.. Scherer's testimony revealed a
system by which the New York banks
guuge the country banks and their
clients out of millions.
He said that it cost seven cents per
$1,000 to collect the checks of country
banks. The Clearing House, he said,
collects 70 cents per $1,000, or ten
times the real cost.
. The average charge per day for COL
lections is about $4,000. 1t amounts
to about $50. 900, 900 year. From this
fleeing process the fifty blanks COM
prising the clearing house assc ciation
extorted sufficient tribute from the
country bankers last year to enable
each of the fifty New York banks TO
pay an eight per cent dividend on their
capital stock.
Thus it becomes apparent to every
fair-minded person why the New York
banks and financial magnates so bitter
Iy opposed the investigation by Con-
press of the Money Trust.

Coal Barons Greedy.

Preparations are being made to add
SIS, 900, 900 to the nations coal bill this
winter. Each one OF US must con-
tribute our pro rata to the fortunes of
the coal barons. There is no reason or
Justice for the increase, except that
the millionaire coal kings want the
money and are in a postion~to make
the people either "come across" or
freeze.
The coal operators, who have been
forced to grant the miners an increase
in wages, which they SAY will mean an
additional cost of 100000 in labor,
are goiug to force the consumer to pay
sufficiently high price for ccaI to
enable them to stand this increase,
along with an additional extortion of
SO, 900. 900, which will be clear profit
to the trust. Thus, for every dollar in
increased prices that the coal operators
propose to collect.thi winter for the
lniners. they have decided to extort
two dollars for themselves. All US
helpless consumers have to do is to pay
the bill. Always, always. it is the
consumer who pays the bill.
