detention farm, or other asylum of the
kind, for those whose otfenses are slight
and infrequent, where good influences
may be brought to bear upon them. A
similar institution is needed for children
deprived of homes, whose waywardness
results from the lack OF proper parental
care and direction The state owes Il
solemn duty to itself in these matters,
to the end that crime may be prevented,
our jails, prisons, asylums and aims
houses relieved, and men, women and
children saved to lives of usefulness.
Education.
"Whie the large central public schools
of the state are doing splendid work,
the small rural schools are not keeping
pace. For the present. these latter should
be the especial care of the state. Insofar
as their standard can be improved by
more liberal state aid, it should be ex-
tended and we recommend to the general
assembly larger diversion of the public
school funds in this direction. Also re-
distribution of these funds on a basis
that will ensure more direct aid to towns
that really need it. We favor the en-
couragement by the state of agricultural
and scientific training as a necessary
part of public instruction.
Highway Improvement.
''The present admirable system Of high
way improvement should be continued
without material change. If it shall APP
pear, upon investigation, that the high
way department can make wise and eff
cient use Of additional funds, or that it
needs more authority to carry out the
details Of the system, we recommend the
granting of such aid and authority.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1912-07-01

Vermont should spare no effort to
make the most Of her opportunity as an
agricultural state. In every reasonable
and practical way, the state should en-
courage the uplft of agriculture at this
time. BY special instruction and by the
establishment of model farms in con
venient locations, the best methods Of
farming should be taught and demon
strated that the largest output per acre
or animal may be attained A liberal
appropriation in these directions is justi-
fed.

Would Distribute Liability.

The federation does not contemplate
any such far-reaching law this, how
yer. The underlying theory of the pro-
posed legislation is to distribute liability
SO that no one will suffer. Heretofore
recovery for damage or injury has been
difficult because of the legal doctrine of
the assumption of risk. OF course, an in
jured workman has recourse to the
courts, but he has to show he was hurt
through the negligence Of his employer.
What the federation is trying to do
is to get legislation that will make the
employer responsible when the injury is
caused by the dangerous nature of the
employment, and not, merely defective
working material.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. November q. 1912.
Under the rules that motion to ad-
journ is not debatable a resolution Of
Councilman Frank C. Spinks of the first
ward, asking that the council request the
state corporation commission to come to
Alexandria and investigate the proposed
railroad merger now in progress, was
not considered at a meeting of city coun-
Gil last night. This aroused Mr.. Spinks,
Il have got you placed. You represent
corporations"
Mr.. Spinks then declared to President
Brumback that he could come into the
latter's ward and defeat him, and at this
juncture a testing remark was made by
Councilman Chauncey, whereupon Mr..
Spinks asserted he could also defeat him
by an appeal to the voters Of his ward.
The city fathers were about leaving the
chamber at the time this occurred. and
they stood amazed. Council had official
ly adjourned. Councilman Spinks read
his resolution to those who remained, car
rying it away with him.
Councilman Williams moved to adjourn
a moment before the clerk picked up the
resolution of Councilman Spinks, and be-
fore it could be read the motion was put
by President Brumback. 1t is under
stood he was not aware there was fur
Their business, and this, it Is stated. was
the reason the resolution never ofhclally
came before the council.
Business Matters Considered.
The joint committee on finance and
schools reported having carefully gone
over the proposition for the erection of
new high school building at the cost
Of $4,000, and while aware of its neces-
sity the committee recommended that
action be deferred on the matter until
after January l next. The report was
adopted.
Councilman Brockett offered a resolu-
ton to vest the title of the land for the
high school recently purchased in the
school trustees, and that the school
board erect on the site building, the
board being authorized to borrow $5j,UOO
cent, and that the sum of 5000 be APP
propriated by the city to start the work
when the board negotiated the loan.
This substitute resolution precipitated
a lengthy debate. Many OF the members
of the council were opposed to veSting
the title to the property in the hands
of the school trustees and they thought
it better to defer action until the city
gets report on the annexation ques-
ton, inaSmuch as most of the land on
which the building would be erected is
located in the county. Councilman
Brockett finally withdrew the resOlu-
ton.
Councilman Smith offered a resolution
that the finance and school committee
report to council at it's next meeting
on a proposition to issue $4,000 5 per
cent bonds for the erection of a school
building. and this was referred to that
committee.

BOAT STOLEN THEN DESTROYED

It seems that Grand Rapids has
about every kind Of a criminal IN
the catalogue. We have developed
pirates as the latest addition to our
list A boat belonging to a resident
Of the south side was stolen early
last week. The boat KAT the time
It was stolen was drawn up ON the
bank at least twenty feet from the
river. After the person or persons
who had stolen the boat had had e
nough of it, they deliberately blew
two holes in the bottom with a shot
gun A neighbor found the boat float
ing down the river and pulled it a
shore where it was recovered by
the owner Sunday. The blowing of
the holes in the boat occurred in
side the city limits. We are suppOs-
ed to have an ordinance that prohfb-
its the using Of fire arms inside
the city limits.
Another instance of the violation
Of this ordinance occurred last week
and might have proven a tragedy. A
young man who drives a delivery wa
gon for one of the local stores was
driving along a road in the Wickham
Addition when he was startled by a
rifle bullet whistIing by close to his
head. People, especially young boys
are constantly shooting ON the is
lands and in the woods on the south
side. The police might find some
good hunting by watching that sec
ton of the city for a few days.
