The whole country will applaud
Maine for its efforts to prevent such a
great loss of property by fire as an
nually occurs, for Maine contributes to
the national ash heap all out Of pro-
portion to the value of its perishable
property. The annual loss runs in the
vicinity of 100000, which is altogeth-
err too large for Maine, and no less an
authority than the state insurance COM
missioner asserts that the reason for
the drain is the backwardness in adopt
ing modern prevention methods. As the
result of his prodding, various commu-
mites are taking up the matter of great
er prevention, and there bids fair to be
a lessening of the loss within short
time.

1t took the Brattleboro village com
missioners just 4S hours to meet and
authorize the purchase OF new equip
ment for the fire department, following
a serious loss by fire on Sunday night.
1t was prompt action to remedy defects
that developed under stress and in
marked contrast to the dilatory tactics
followed by some villages and towns
even when the defects were more no.
ticeable than they were in the case of
Brattleboro's big fire. The people of
.Brattleboro ought to appreciate the ac-
tivity of their agents.

The Wilson message ON antitrust leg
islation was short enough so that it may
be read without serious infringement on
time allotted to other matters, and the
Importance of the matter considered
warrants careful perusal. The president
apparently has learned that the way to
gain an audience is to pack his ideas into
the smallest possible compass and in the
clearest of English.

report, although in its recommendations,
the same committee urges that addition

 There was some discussion on the amount of tuition to be paid by out of town pupils next year and the mo- ton of Mrs. Katherine J. Spalding pre- vailed making the amount $60 instead of $50. On account of the fact that the high school may not be ready for occupancy at the beginning of the fall term, a committee consisting of George s. Elliott, Curtis Dean and Thomas J, Kelley was appointed to look up quarters if that contingency should occur. It was voted to hire Miss Grant, Principal Cases efficient secretary, an additional five weeks this year at the same salary as at present, so much work remaining to be done during the summer. A letter was read from George g. Taylor of the high school building committee stating that wealth CT strips such as are going on the Natchaug school could be installed at the high school building now at a saw ing which amounted to about $50. This matter was tabled. however. as the committee felt they could do nothing until the building is turned over to them. At the present time it is en- tireiy in the hands of the building committee.
