ENGLAND NOW GERMANS GOAL


Belgium and Antwerp are for Germany

IS England. Yesterday It was Paris. to-
DAY it is London that the Kaiser seeks
TO overwhclm. We have only TO keep
this fact In mind to realize how COM
pletelv the situation has been trans
formed since the German forces set out
to take Paris in n month. and then sweep
back upon Russia. Now the German
press is coquetting with the French,
sugar-coatng the pill by speaking Of them
as "a cultured nation with whom Ger
many must establish friendly relations"
while the most vindictive and scathing
terms are applied to the English, and
the military and naval and civic utter
ances Of the Germans all unite in demand
ing the complete crushing of ENGLAND.
If this latest design Of Germany is to
be carried out. the whole plan Of opera
lions must be changed also Hitherto the
war has been carried ON principally on
land If Germany is to Fttack England,
then she must rely, not upon her heavy
siege guns principally, but upon her navy,
Der submarines especially, and her air
uh!ps of war.

been printed for distribution. The fol-
lowing summarizes in brief its find
inRs:
The findings of the commission are as
follows:
Teaching in the rural schools insult
able for daily life pupils and mostly
for secondary schools.
Secondary schools still more unsuitable
and mostly preparatory for institutions
of higher learning and therefore Of bene-
fit to but one-tenth OF their pupils.
Length Of school term insufficient
Lack Of adequate vocational training for
pupils and OF efficient normal school
training for teachers.
insufficient emphasis on agriculture.
appropriations to institutions Of higher
learning too large according to States
property valuation.
Duplication OF effort in University of
Vermont Middlebury College and Nor
wich University. which are declared to be
private institutions and not entitled of
ght to any State aid
The recommendations Of the com
uission are similarly condensed as

1t may be worth while to consider
again the question OF the appointment
in some manner OF trial Justices for the
trial of criminal causes In those towns
without the territorial Jurisdiction of
city and municipal courts This could
be done by designating one or more Of
the justices as trial justices of criminal
causes
Other justices of the peace should have
authority to sign complaints returnable
before trial justices This would sim
plify to a great extent the settlement
of justice bills of costs and these bills
of costs OF the trial justices could be
settled direct and perhaps quarterly with
the auditor OF accounts, and so persons
entitled to fees in criminal causes could
receive them once in three months in

the practice; and at the same time settle

FAvORS BUDGET SYSTEM FOR
STATE.


STATE.
In my opinion a statement should be
biennally prepared by the State treas
urer and auditor of accounts showing
the estimated revenues of the State and
a detail OF the number, purpose and
amount of each appropriation necessary
to carry on the government for the com
ing biennial period and this statement
or budget. should be submitted to the in
coming governor, and the members of
the general assembly elect some days
before the session so that the governor
and the members Of the general as
sembly may have before them definite in
formation as to what the revenues of the
State will probably be for the coming
period, and the amount of the revenue
required to care for the necessary ex-
penses of government. Thus any surplus
of revenue can he appropriated most
advantageously for the welfare Of the
people Of the State
NO CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS.
Appropriations should only he made
for the coming period and should take
effect with the fiscal year. There may
be extreme cases that demand continu-
ing appropriations, or appropriations
that should take effect at passage but
these cases can be readily cared for as
occasion demands.
1t Is not within the province Of the
State treasurer or the auditor OF &C
counts to suggest what appropriations
| should be made nor their amount, but
the tables above referred to will show
| how the money has been appropriated
and used and the duty rests with the
general assembly to say how and where
any saving can be made II they deem
such saving should be made as vel
as the necessity of changes in the sys
