OPPOSES MARRIED WOMEN
Should Not Be Allowed to Teach Pub
lie Schools.

Boston.-Married women, save
under exceptional conditions, should
never be allowed to teach in the pub
lie schools, according to the former
chairman of the Boston school COM
mittee, David A. Ellis. Mr.. Ellis does
not agree with the statements of sew
eral prominent Boston women who
plan to have more married women in
the Boston schools.
Dr. David D. Snedden, commission
er of education, agrees with him in a
measure, but only so far as the mar
lied women divide their time between
their homes and their classes. He
does not think that married women
are any better fitted to handle classes
than others, just because they may
have children of their own. Mrs.
Susan Y. FITZGERALD does not agree
with either, declaring that married
women, of course, are better than
single women or men.

REORGANIzE CUSTOMS
TO TAKE EFFECT IN MAINE JULY
II, 1914.
Act Under Which Taft Derived
Authority Provided.

Augusta, Me.-The reorganization
Of the Maine customs district under
the plan reported to Congress by
President Taft in the last days OF his
administration goes into effect July
l of this year, which is the beginning
of the fiscal year 1914 for the United
States government.
A misunderstanding seems to have
arisen owing to the fact that an
amendment was introduced in the u.
S. Senate by Senator Stone of Mis-
souri,, before the President reported
his decision as to the reorganization,
providing that an extension of two
years Zoe made for the operation of
the provision of the last Sunday Civil
bill for the reorganization of the serv-
ice, under which the President acted,
in order to keep the matter alive and
allow President Wilson to act on it in
case President Taft failed to reach it
before the close of his administration.
This was one of the many amend
Iments offered to the General Defici.
ency bill of the session just over, and
it was offered in the Senate on Mar.
2. When the General Deficiency bill
was finally approved on March 4, the
amendment was not included in it.
AS President Taft had acted on the
matter there was no necessity of the
amendment.

BUSINESS IN new ENGLAND
NO GENERAL FALLING OFF IN
ACTIVITY.
Issuance of New Securities Making
Drains on Banking Resources.

Boston-The First National Bank
Of Boston, in it's March letter, says:
New England is maintaining vol.
ume of business substantially larger
than at this time last year. The i'm
provement in business sentiment
which became noticeable in Febrw
airy, continues. In general demand
is large. while supply is being held
in control by business men who are
endeavoring to give due weight to
the several adverse factors in the
situation. In most lines of New Eng.
land industry the new tariff has beer
largely discounted, and matters put
in shape for the operation" 1t is
commonly conceded that if tariff re
vision must take place, it could not
come at a more opportune period The
much talked of general falling-off In
business has thus far failed to ma
terialize. In its place has come
slight relaxation of conservatism, the
statistics recording slightly freeI
movement in trade. A marked eXpan
sion in trade activity is being kept in
check, not by absence of demand MOI
greatly by fear of tariff revision, bur
rather through a realization of the
acute money situation.

MASSACHUSETTS SHIPS
Chairman Hugh Bancroft Would Ex-

Mr.. Bancroft said the question for
this particular legislation arose from

found that local capital will not be.

Massachusetts corporation and the
tax on the Massachusetts corpora
tons is such as to be prohibitive for

CLAM CULTURE LICENSES

cries and game, when DR.. George w.

DR.. Field told the committee that
under the present system of controll-
ing the shell fisheries, very large
part of the natural resources Of the
State is going to waste. Not only is
the State losing considerable in
come from these fisheries. but they
are not producing anywhere near as

form of vice.

the commission to notify you OF his
appointment when and if the House

SUPERVISION.
EFF. insolvency Predicts Fed.

OTHER SPEAKERS HEARD
Henry S. Dennison and Frederick n,
Harrison Talk Also to Reform
Club Members Rates and
Profits Excessive.

Boston.-"Unless the insurance COM
panies refrain from demanding Excess
sive profits, charging high rates, pay
ing $50 per cent dividends and doing
other things they have been accus-
toned to doing in the past, l predict
government supervision of insurance
companies" declared Edward F. Nc
Sweeney, a member of the Massachu-
sets Industrial Accident Board,
speaking before members of the Re-
form Club.
The Workmens Compensation
Act was the subject discussed. Fred
erick H. Hardison, insurance COM
missioner; Henry S. Dennison of the
Dennison Manufacturing Company,
were other speakers. The act was
discussed from the standpoint of the
manufacturer by Mr. Dennison.
Mr.. insolvency talked about rates
for compensation insurance and said
they are high and bound to come
down.
Insurance companies must not for
get" said Mr.. McSweeney, that by
demanding excessive rates and prof
its that will enable them to pay great
dividends, the ultimate result will be
government supervision. They must
make friends with the new law, they
must be content to make a decent
profit, and | am sure if they do this,
no person will interfere with them"
Mr.. Dennison told of his experience
with the act since it's inauguration.
He said that although the rates have
been reduced about rs per cent since
the act was enacted, he had paid to
the insurance companies $500. Out
of this amount the insurance com.
panies had only to pay slightly over
$50.
Mr. insolvency said that many OF
the employers are reporting every in.
| jury, no matter how trivial, and he
thought it unnecessary to make work
for the commission that can be elimi-
mated under the new law.
He said the commission will prob
ably handle about 10000 accident re.
ports this year, of which 60 pes cent
will be of trivial character, not dis.
abling the employee for even one day.
He said only 16 per cent received
compensation, and the rest got only
free medical treatment if it was need.
ed. 1--WE are deciding from 1900 to
1900 cases a month by arbitration,
and l am sure this would not have
been possible under the old law"
Insurance Commissioner Hardison's
talk was mostly on the rates, which.
he said, had been reduced since the
enactment of the new law.
ut is difficult to say whether or not
the rates can be lowered" he said.
When the act was put in force, the
commissioners were supposed to see
that the rates were adequate to pro,
tect the State Insurance Company
from rate cutting by other companies.
| Now some of the insurance com,
panies say they are afraid to give
lower rates because the commission
won't let them.

construction, while it would effect a
great saving to the road, making the
distance much less and avoiding the
heavy grades at Ashland. Should 1t
be built it is probably that all the
