 The mat CT of issuing certificates to the Board of Education for the High School, elected last October, having been submitted to the Attorney Gen. eral of the State, a reply was received last week by District Attorney Hern. don. The Attorney General held that ipasmuch as the act, which required the Superintendent of Schools to call an election within fifteen days after establishing the High School, clashed with the law already existing, the election was invalid and it was in or der for the Superintendent of Schools to appoint Board to serve until the regular school election which is held annually the last Saturday in March. In accordance Superintendent Met. cafe appointed the gentlemen who re- ceived the majority of votes at the October election. A call for the cleo. tion to be held Saturday, March 18th. is published in this issue. The men chosen at this time will have charge of the building of the County Union High School, three to be elected in Kingman and two from the outside district and it is up to the tax payers who want to see good High School in the county to see that the right men are put on the ticket. At the last election no one in Kingman knew who was running in the outside dis. tricts and some names were put up at the last minute and voted on and the men on the ticket did not even know their names were being run. A per son filling this position should be well acquainted with what is required in school of this kind and should be at least fairly well educated. and some one who will take pride in seeing that we will have school we will be proud of, as well as good competent teachers.
 The Santa Fe Girls Band. composed of Al ladies from Wellington, Kansas, who played here Thursday evening was enjoyed by all fortunate enough to secure seats In the opera house. Half an hour after the seats were put not more than a third of the people of the town witnessed the performance. What Kingman needs is a larger op- era house, for it is impossible to ac- commodate from 600 to 800 people when there are not more than $50 seats at most in the house. The en tertalnmenJ was very good and the band first class. The ladies were glv- en automobile rides by those owning m achnes and left on the afternoon train for Needles.
 Mr. and Mrs. c. N Nickell, who made trip by automobile into Los Angeles just before the big storm, ar rived home Sunday. The roads were badly washed out in California but they made the trip back by auto as far as San Bernardno and there found out it would be impossible to cross the mountains, so Mir. and Mrs. J. H. Hutchison, who were with them, took the train at that point and the car was shipped over the mountains and the Nickells com pleted the trip with out any further trouble. They made the trip to Los Angeles in three days.

match between the teams was played
on the Paradis alleys a short time ago,
Johnston's All-Stars winning. Last even

CURRENT COMMENT
The Latest Trade Union.

| Our college professors of economics
have organized trades union. That
! is what the recent action of the Amer
| lean Economic association and the Amer
lean Political Science association
amounts to. At the annual conventions
of these two bodies, held last week at
Minneapolis and Washington respec-
| lively. they appointed Joint commit
tee to look into the matter of Gree
dom of speech and security of tenure"
| for those college teachers who, from the
nature of their subjects, must sometimes
venture into the fields of economic and
political controversy.
The situation, it appears, is more Sc
rious thap the average layman realizes.
Boards of college trustees are usually
made up of wealthy business men and
others whose temperament inclines to
conservatism. College professors of the
social sciences, on the other hand, are
inclined to be rather radical. They
write to the organs Of public opinion
in advocacy of minimum wage laws,
workmens compensation laws, greater
powers for public service commissions,
tax reform and so forth. They some
times proffer advice TO governors and
often appear before legislative commit
tees. The election of one of their craft
to the presidency has inspired some of
them to an aggressive attitude as apos-
ties of the New Freedom.
All this has given some portly trus-
tees severe jolting. They are inclined
to feel that professors, who display
such radical tendencies, must be de-
moralizing the youth of the land.
Hence there has been straining of
relations between the governing board
and the teaching staff in many colleges,
and the latter have now determined to
place the whole situation before the
public. The membership of these two
associations includes practically every
professor of economics and political sci
ence in the country. They possess, as
one might say, a complete monopoly of
certain brand of specialized education
al skill and experience. What if their
joint committee should place some col
lege on the unfair" list? Would this
action be followed by a boycott of the
offending institution? And where does
the Sherman act come in as regards any
such procedure? Perhaps the erstwhile
professor of political science at the

The zealot for Rutland's progress, the
Rutland News, continues to be perturbed
because The Times does not view Rut-
lands building progress in 1913 with
the same enthusiasm as it 1.-THE contem-
poraryl does, as will be noted from the
following:
The Barre Times in complimenting
Rutland on doing new building in 1913
to the approximate value of 100000 al
lowed that it was not very large fig
ure," it will be recalled. Barre's build
ing operations for 1913 are given at
$4,000. About what is that figure,
does The Times think? And Barre has
been ambitious for a few years to sup
plant Rutland as the second city of Yer
mont, too. The News thinks Barre's
1918 record is almighty good albeit less
than 30 per cent. of that of Rutland.
The esteemed contemporary has twist
ed our intended praise into something
little short of a slur, if one were to Judge
by the persistence with which it follows
up the matter. What we did say was
that at is not large record for one
year, to be, sure, but rather good for a
small city located in Vermont" and we
still insist that nothing short of from
one-half to million dollars would CON
stitute large record for a city of $4,000
people, as Rutland is supposed to be.
At the same time we are willing to con-
cede, as previously stated, that it is
rather good" for any city in Vermont.
As for Barre's building record in 1913,
it is cheerfully conceded that the total
was small; indeed, it was far below
Barre's normal growth during the past
score of years, due to the fact that
Barre is catching up with itself, so to
speak That is, it is filling out the
framework. And we may add that there
is a marked scarcity of houses of the
better class at the present time in Barre,
it being almost impossible to get place
of that sort, as we presume is the case
in Rutland. That may be taken as an
indication of progress, and Barre is
downright pleased that Rutland is re-
ceiving a new impetus, and Barre is far
from being envious over it. It would
like to note really large record there
during 1914, something approaching a
million dollars.

MAINTAINING PUBLIC SKATING
Kinks.

1t is to be hoped that the efforts to
build and maintain public skating Kinks
in Barre will turn out better than last
year, and perhaps with the backing of
the city council the efforts will result
in providing good skating surfaces where
the youngsters and their elders, too, if
they wish, may be enabled to indulge in
health-giving recreation without charge.
There is no better form of outdoor win
ter sport for young people than ice skat-
ing, and heretofore Barre has been slow
to make the opportunities, depending on
nature to do the work with its thaws
and freezes. If Kinks are built and pro-
visions are made for removing the ac-
cumulations of snow, as well as for fire.
quent flooding, the public of Barre will
be afforded plenty of outdoor exercise
of the right sort; but the plans to build
the Kinks must include such details as
frequent flooding of the surface, else
the proposition will be OF little value.
1t is not the finish of the good work

at Can't Be Done"

The man who misses all the fun
Is he who says 1T can't be donel"
In solemn pride he stands aloof
And greets each venture with reproof
Had he the power, he'd efface
The history of the human race;
We'd have no steam nor trolley cars,
No streets lit by electric stars;
No telegraph nor telephone.
We'd linger in the age of stone,
Where when some keen barbaric brain
OF life's conditions dare complain,
And planned wheel on which to roll
The load his arms could not control,
Sneers rose from all the mighty crew
That ever SCOTS at what is new.
The world would sleep if things were run
BY men who say 1T can't be donel"

More "new track" was built by the
railroads of the country during the past
year than during 1912, strange as it may
seem amid such general talk of stagna-
tion in the railroad business of the coun-
try; but the average per state was
rather depressing miles. Forty-sey-
en- states shared in the building and
such large manufacturing state as
Massachusetts had but a dozen miles
TO its credit. The extensions on the

region show almost as much for Yer
mont as the entire state of Massachu-
setts had.

Because Judge Crowell, Of the mu-

business more than he hurts anyone
else. This is an age of economy
Men must look out for. the pennies.
1t is lot of satisfaction in knowing
just how much you are making over

much you have made" The talk
was much appreciated by the mer-
chants.

rance, upon invitation from the mer-
chants.
The transient merchants state
law was discussed and ways and
means outlined to enforce the same.
