TO VERIFY BANK BOOKS
Annual Examination To Take Place
in May.

! State Bank Commissioner Frank G..
Williams of Newport has sent out a
call to the state banks for the YER
itication of deposit books during the
month of May as required by law.
Every depositor in such banks should
take care to comply with the not'ce
| received from the bank directing him
to turn in deposit books.
The text of the call is as follows
I'm accordance with the provisions
of Section rs, Act No. 1853, Laws of
1910, / hereby designate the month
of May, 1913, for the vertification of
the deposit books of the Vermont
State banks.
1.-THE law requires that the trus-
tees Of banks shall call in the de-
| post books for examination and YER
| ification, and cause the same to be
examined and verified by some per-
| son other than the treasurer or his
clerks, employed for that purpose,
and approved by said Commissioner.
1t is my opinion that some improve
ment could be made upon the prac-
tise which has prevailed in the past,
and which the law evidently con.
templates, but the legislature re-
fused to change the law, so that the
commissioner has no authority to
direct any verification other than
that designated
1T is highly important that a per-
sistent effort be made during the
month of May to get in the books.
This can be accomplished in various
ways, but probably the most effective
way would be to send to each de-
positor a printed slip calling his at.
! tention to the Importance of the
verification. This could be done by
| the verifier after the banks had u.s.
ed the ordinary means of adyertis-
ing in the newspapers. If the banks
desire to make the verifcation by
personal notice to depositors, and
| will communicate that fact to me at
once, | will arrange to have it done
| by the person selected to verify the
| books. If the verification is to be
made by requiring the books to be
brought to the bank, it will be neces-
sary that the verifier should attend
| regularly at the bank during bank
| ing hours, should be present at the
opening of the mail and receive the
| books returned by mail, and should
take charge of the books handed in
over the counter. 1t has been suggest
ed that banks in the same town or
county, could unite in an advertise
ment, giving notice of the verified
ton and citing the law.
Blanks will be furnished for no
tice to the Bank Commissioner, of
the names and addresses o fthe per-
sons selected by the banks to make
the verification. The Bank Commits
sioner will furnish each bank a rub

START EDUCATIONAL SURVEY
Carnegie Foundation to Search Along
New Lines In Vermont.

Montpelier March 23.-Judge John
H. Watson, chairman of the COM
mission to investigate the education
al system and conditions of Vermont,
has issued the following statement
regarding the line of work which is
being taken up:
The educational commission, APP
pointed under a joint resolution of
the General Assembly, was empow-
cred and directed to inquire into the
entire educational system and con-
dtion of the State, including the in
stitutions of higher learning and the
primary and secondary schools. In
pursuing this inquiry the commission
decided upon an educational sur
vey" of the State, an expert search
ing after all facts, statistical and
otherwise, bearing upon educational
matters. This procedure is some
thing of an innovation in this coun-
try, but was used with brilliant sue
cess in England by Professor Sad
Ter, now vice-chancellor of the Uni
versity Of Leeds, his work marking
an epoch in contemporary English
education. In the judgment of some
of the foremost educators, this met
hod is peculiarly suited to the solu-
ton of the problems confronting this
commission, and seems to be along
the line of what was contemplated
by the Legislature. for the resolution
provides for the employment by the
commission has secured the services
of the most expert educational
earchers-afterfacts in the country.
The work of this educational sur
vey is under the direction of Dr.
Henry S. Prichett, president of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
vancement of Teaching. the work of
the survey being organized under
the general supervision of DR.. Prich-
EFT and Prof. Edward C. Elliott of the
University of Wisconsin, under
whom expert investigators of the
first rank are now in Vermont. In
connection Herewith Mcneil Sayre
and Clyde Furst, of the Carnegie
Foundation, are giving special at
tention to the colleges and agricul-
tural schools. DR.. w. S. Learned of
Harvard University will study the
high schools and academies, and
Prof. NJ. B. Hillegas of Columbia
University the elementary schools,
especially those in or for the rural
sections of the State. This survey
is undertaken in the same spirit in
which mining engineer or a timber
cruiser" would report upon a prop
erty which it was proposed to pur-
chase and develop. With such sur
vey before them, the members of the
commission will have at hand mater
ial facts. gathered by disinterested
men, essential to arriving at con-
illusions as 10 what is for the best
educational interests of the state.

Changes in Liquor Legislation.

While the Legislature made no rad
| ical changes in the local opuon-h'
cense law, it enected a number oil
measures that will have far-reaching
effects. Some Of these involve the
duties of license commissioners while
others affect those to whom licenses
are granted.
Number IA of the public acts oil
the General Assembly provides that
after May / "a license to sell intoxi'
eating liquors, except license OF the
fifth class. shall not be granted to a
person holding a public office other
than that of notary public, and no IL
censee, except a licensee of the NTH
class, shall employ in the manufac-
ture or sale of intoxicating liquors,
whether for hire or otherwise, any
person holding a public Office, other
than that of notary public.
In other words, no man holding
public office, except that of notary
public, can legally be granted a Ii
cense except a druggists license or
have an interest in such license, nor
can he be employed by a dealer in
intoxicating liquor for hire or other
wise except by druggist
The penalty for violation OF this
law in very severe, involving the Tor
fixture of the license.
If, for example, a dealer in Burling
ton holding a first class license,
should employ any public officer, as
stated, 1t would cost him 5000. the
present fee, or whatever fee the com
missioners fix for the coming year, be
side loss on stock and fixtures, rent
and so on.
According to the provisions of
number 1876 of the public acts of the
General Assembly in towns voting
for license "the number of licenses
granted shall not exceed one for each
one thousand of population OF the
larger fraction thereof, as ascertain
ed by the last national census, but
there may be granted in addition to
the above licenses of the fifth class
to the following number: Not more
than two in each town so voting.
where the population does not ex-
coed three thousand, and an addition
al one for each three thousand popu-
lation additional or larger fraction
thereof"
BY act 16 1t is provided that mo
sale shall be made Of intoxicating H.
quors lawfully taken by attachment
or on an execution. except to a per.
son holding a license to sell intoxicat.
ing liquors. or to a hospital, home,
asylum, orphanage, or State institu.
ton requiring such liquors for use
therein for chemical or medicinal
purposes"
BY the terms Of act No. 1S7 H.
cense commissioners are required TO
inspect each place operating under
a license Of the first class. at least
once in two weeks, one such inspec-
ton i'm each month TO be made on
