1t is almost like a girls school
in itself-the University of Mis-
souri's home economics depart
ment, with it's enrolment of 276
students.
The women in this department
are learning scientific methods,
the shortcuts, the time-savers.
They are learning the art Of
cooking and the business Of
home-making, putting them on a
level with or above bookkeeping,
and stenography.
Among the courses which are
offered are those in food, dietetics
for nurses, home nursing, santa
ton, metabolism, sewing, dress
making, textiles and millinery.
Since the founding of the
home economies department in
1906, there has been a steady III
crease in enrolment.
Parents have felt the need OF
giving their daughters the ad.
vantage of scientific training
along lines that are purely
woman S interests, and daughters
have felt the inclination for such
learning. What the University
of Missouri is teaching its women
is only an example of what is be-
ing done for them throughout the
state, for the University sets the
example for the high school and
the high school for the grade.
and what the children are learn
ing in the schools the mothers
are following up in their clubs.

Prosecuting Attorney !

Prosecuting Attorney A. c.
Whitson shook up the old town
last week when he filed suit
against the Shoe Factory Co. for
$4,000 for failure to operate
their plant. We think Whitson
is right. If the company means
well then they are not hurt, but
if they are not going to open up,
well, to be plain about it, they
are only getting what is coming
to them.

The Message is anxious to see
the experiment of a consolidated
school tried in Audrain county.
We understand there is some
agitation of the subject in Skin
ner neighborhood. If you want
to bring the high school advan-
tages directly home to the boys
and girls in the rural districts
the consolidated school is the
idea.

Stephen Johnson Field, Of the family
which has figured so prominently in
American history, was born in Had
dam, Conn, November 4, 1916. He was
graduated in 1887 from Williams col
lege and then spent several years in
Athens and the Grecian islands. He
read law with his brother, David Dud-
ley Field, and with John Van Buren,.
He removed to California in 1849 and
was a member Of the first legislature

Union. He was for years q justice of
the supreme court Of his state until his
appointment as an associate Justice of
the Supreme court of the United States
by President Lincoln In 1863, and for
many years was the senior associate.
His decisions affecting individuals and
affairs in his state incensed many per-
sons and two attempts were made to
take his life. one by an internal ma
chine sent through the mails and again
by ex-Judge Terry, who attempted a
murderous assault, but was shot and
killed by deputy marshal detailed to
protect Justice Field.

practitioner himself is the most potent
influence in determining his standing
Therefore, the graduates OF the medical
college of the University OF Vermont
take something from the new distinction
given to their institution, That rating
in the highest rank is also pleasing TO
every Vermonter who is at all DESTROYS
of maintaining the state in position
other than total dependence on the med
zeal colleges Of other states for inspira-
ton for the betterment of the public
health and for supplying the small coun-
try towns Of the state with medical
practitioners. 1t Is an earnest OF con-
tinued support Of the medical college
at Burlington in manner liberal enough
to keep the institution in the select
class Of similar institutions throughout
the United States. The state Of Yer
mont cannot afford to 90 backward in
this matter at the present time, and
we do not think that the state will take
that backward step; in other words we
do not think the state legislature now
convened at Montpelier win withdraw
that financial support upon which the
success of the college rests in very large
measure.

PRINCIPLES OF TAXATION.
Abolish All Offsets and Tax Only Tang
ible Property.
Boston Work Horse Relief Ass
Boston, Feb. Is, 1915.

Editor, Times Above principles
which are recommended by the national
taxation commission as the best, upon
the whole, to adopt win make the ques-
tion OF taxation plain and simple and
abolish any chance for fraud and
deceit. The inventories can even
be dispensed with. the lists made OFT
with comparatively little expense and
the money kept in the state at a low
rate Of interest.
When Offsets are allowed personal
property can be cleared to any amount
BY creating an indebtedness outside of
the state by the temporary purchase OF
property to be sold back if not perma-
nently retained or by the giving OF a
note to some trusted relative abroad
which viii be sent back upon request.
The temptation is so strong that II will
be planned in some way TO avoid taxa
tion. In case the note should be given
without consideration, there is no way
that II can be proved and there is no
way to ascertain the validity of alleged
indebtedness OF any sort.
When offsets are allowed, no taxes are
paid upon the property exempted by
anybody in case the creditor resides out
side the state or even in the state un.
less money loaned is taxed without any
conditions.
No property whatever should be taxed
except what has actual value Of itself
10 Il but all Of that except what u
owned by the state and the towns should
be taxed
No debts due. notes or stocks Of ana
kind should be attempted to be taxed,
since they only represent an interest
in something OF real value supposed TO
BE- already taxed.
Public service properties like railroads
and telegraph properties should be APP
praised as a whole BY state appraisers
and the tax from them. az the average
state tax, turned inte the state treas.
ury.
When money lent il not taxed. in any
case. regular business competition and
the natural laws Of business would pro-
d0ce enough lower rate OF interest. AZ
whole % quite make up the variance.
We are quite apt 20 overlook the fact
that il is the borrower, not the lender.
who IN the end pays the tax upon money
lent.
II the seven .tenths Of per cent. was
abolished upon savings banks. they

1t is rather strange to hear Massachu-
sets complaining against the poor quail
ity of the teachers in the country dis
tricts of that commonwealth, as COM
pared with the good quality of the
teachers in the cities and other large
NOTWITHSTANDING because we have
been almost led to believe of late that
Vermont rural schools had complete
and air-tight monopoly in Incapable
teachers. However, we should not be
made complaeent by such revelation and
confession in Massachusetts, but should
be stirred to extra efforts to beat Mas
sachusetts in bringing up the quality
of country school teaching.

Six Local Societies.
To the Editor Of The Times:
Strive receive many letters from
persons VINO are in trouble about horses
in one way or another in different parts
Of the country. Some weeks ago we
received q letter from a small town in
Vermont in which the writer asked rs
how he could obtain the services OF an
agent to investigate some cases Of great
cruelty to horses in the town in which
he lives. | sent his letter to the presi-
dent of the humane society nearest to
his town, but nothing was done by that
society. Some weeks later / wrote to
another humane society in Vermont
town containing 5000 and more inhabi-
tants. From this society | received a
prompt reply stating that they could do
nothing in the matter, as it might in
volye an expense of SIS or $40 and the
total income of the society is only $50
year! | have looked through the list
of humane societies in Vermont, as pub
lished by the American Humane associa-
ton, and / find that according to that
list there are only six humane societies
in Vermont and no state society.
Please lay the facts contained in this
letter before your readers. Surely, a
state with the fine history and tradi-
tions of Vermont should furnish better
protection for dumb animals, especially
in the small and remote towns.
