secondary schools is correct in principle
and should be tried out in sections of the
state where, upon investigation, condi-
tions are favorable to its adoption. The
state by appropriations should annually
increase the fund for state aid. A
STANDARD school" should be defined by
law, and the building, grounds, equip
ment, and qualifications of the teacher OF
such school standardized in order to
make schools more efficient and to pre-
vent waste in the distribution of public
funds. There should be a board OF edu-
cation to administer the laws relating to
public education, to have control of AL
educational institutions supported by the
state. and to direct and control the ex
penditure of all money appropriated by
the state for educational purposes The
board Of education should have expert
agents to investigate special educational
problems and needs and to advise super
intendents and teachers. The conference
believes in investigation and inquiry as
a means for promoting educational prog
ress and conserving the interests Of the
state, and pledges its cooperation with
all agencies that aim to discover weak
nesses and devise remedies without preiu-
dice and with loyalty to the welfare OF
the state.

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES
BY Vermont Union Superintendents on
Vermont Problems.

The following declaration of principles
by the union superintendent at their
eighth annual conference, held at Queen
City park in July, 1914, was presented
before the legislative committee on edu-
cation at hearing extended TO the I'M
ion superintendent.
We, the union superintendent OF the
state Of Vermont, do hereby declare and
affirm the following principles and pol.
icies to be conducive to the educational
welfare of the state:
/. We believe that increased emphasis
should be placed upon the fact that the
school is for the child; that the study OF
the child and the development of its pow
ers is the CHER concern of the teacher;
that the course OF study should be re-
lated to the life OF the community, and
that the public school should provide ade-
quate and equal opportunity for every
child.
.. We believe that the minimum age
for admission to the elementary schools
should not be less than six years.
3. We believe that the maximum num-
Der of pupils taught by one teacher in
both graded and rural schools should be
limited by law.
T.
individual child should not be sacrificed
to the requirements Of an inaexible sys'
TEN of grading and promotion.
8, We believe in improved and adequate
training facilities in order to provide a
trained teacher for every school at the
earliest possible date.
g. We believe that minimum wage for
elementary teachers should be established
by law.
7. We believe that it is the duty OF
the superintendent to encourage and as
sst the teachers under their supervision
to increase their efficiency by professions
al reading and study.
s. We believe that superintendent
should be secured in their position by
legislative enactment and subject to re-
moval only for cause and with the APP
proval of the state board of education
o. We believe that supervision through
out the state should be required by law
and that the board of education should
have authority to determine the limits
OF the supervisory unions.
10 We believe that the six-year ele-
mentarv and the six-year secondary
school plan is correct in principle and
should be Investigated as to its adapta-
bility to the various sections of the state
and recommended for trial where condl-
lions are favorable.
IL. We believe that the state should
appropriate sum Of money to be added
annually to the school fund for increased
state aid.
II. We believe that the term standard
school should be substituted in the law
for the term legal school, with specific
definition OF what shall constitute q
standard school, including condition OF
building and grounds, material equip
ment, and qualifications and educational
OF the teacher, in order to-
promote the establishment and mainte-
nance of superior schools and prevent the
distribution of public funds for the sup
port of inefficient and uneconomical
schools.
-. We believe that a comprehensive
system should be adopted as a
means OF securing gresetr educational
efficiency.
IA. We favor a board OF education
which shall administer the laws OF the

Notice Served on All Neu-
trail Countries by
Allies
ON ACCOUNT OF
SUBMARINE WAR
Lives Of Crews and Passen-
gers to Be Re-
spected

Washington, March LA dispatch
from London Saturday night said;
Great Britain, France and their allies
have advised neutral countries that they
hold themselves at liberty to stop all
shipping to and from Germany and the
countries of her allies.
"Public announcement of this action
will be made early next week, probably
Monday. The text OF the declaration will
set forth that this decision is necessa1 y
because of German submarine attacks,
but that Great Britain and France will
respect the lives OF crews and passengers
in any steps they may take.
"The declaration is not a reply to the
American representations looking to Il
cessation OF German submarine activity
and the admission of food to Germany
for civilians. The declaration win not
affect cargoes shipped before the date Of
this advice to neutrals. The exact date
carried by the declaration has not been
announced, but it probably is Feb. 20
or 27.
mo special articles of commerce will
be mentioned in the British French dec
laration. Cotton and foodstufs, for ex-
ample, will not be specified. but the terms
will be general. The situation created
will be entirely justified, according to the
English view, because of Germany's I'M
precedented action in attempting a sub
marine blockade regardless of danger to
the crews and passengers of ships.
shipping in the Baltic will not be al
fected as Great Britain and her allies
prevent supplies from entering Norway,
Sweden and Denmark for re-exportation
to Germany Holland, by making its
prohibited export list conform with the
British contraband list and by the crea-
ton of The Netherlands interseas trust,
to which virtually all cargoes entering
Holland are now consigned with the gov
eminent guaranty that they viii not be
exported to Germany, has put its ship.

little by the declaration.
1t is believed here that the Seandi-
nayian countries doubtless will take sim
liar action to insure continuation Of sup
plies from America and elsewhere for
home use, While Denmark Sweden and
Norway have repeatedly modified the
lists of prohibited exports, their regula
tions for the preventing OF re-exportation
apparently have been unsatisfactory 20
Great Britain or the administration OF
the regulations has been unsatisfactory,
as cargoes have not moved to the Scan
dinavian countries with the same free
dom as to Holland

Synopsis.
The school is for the child and the de-
velopment OF the child's power is the
Chief concern of the teacher. Courses OF
study should be related to the life of the
community and public schools should
provide adequate and equal opportunity
for every child Children under six years
of age should not be admitted to elemen-
tary schools and the law should
limit the number of pupils to be
taught BY one teacher. There should
be no intlexible system of grading and
promotion harmful to the welfare Of the
individual pupil. A trained teacher
should be provided for every school as
soon as possible through improved train
ing facilities, and a minimum wage for
elementary teachers should be established
BY law. Legislation should be enacted
to secure the Tenure of superintendent
and to permit their removal only for
cause and with the approval of the board
Of education Union supervision should
be compulsory throughout the state, the

not to cali Congress, or even the Senate,

the daily grist of nominations to the

were also 10 nominations Of secretaries
of embassy and legation, some Of them

The Senate is attempting to dispose OF
all these cases with dispatch Saturday
it looked as though even the members
of the trade commission might be con
frmed. All except George Rublee OF
New Hampshire have been fayorably re-
ported from committee.
There was skillful mannuyring in the
House Saturday over the rural credits
rider on the agricultural bill. The story
Of it would be long, but the effect III
sending the entire bill to committee was
to strengthen the prospect Of that rider
becoming law. The House spent much
of the afternoon on appropriation con
ference reports. The Senate had an I'M
eyentful day. altogether, in discussing
the Indian appropriation bill, having first
passed the measure providing funds for
the maintenance of the military acad-
envy at West Point. Senator Fail made
a long speech on provisions for irrigat-
ing Indian lands in the Southwest, and
it now seems that the Senate will not
be through with the supply bills before
to-day or tomorrow
There appears to be little spirit for
renewing the fight for the ship-purchase
bill. Conferees Saturday reported their
agreement, which is substantially for
the Gore amendment and the Weeks bill.
That means swing back to permanent
government ownership The little group
of Republican senators, including those
from Massachusetts,, and Senators Cal
linger of New Hampshire and Root OF

filibuster at a moments notice. Senator
Lodge has had made up a big list OF

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third person
Is troubled with catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
indicates a weakened condition of the
body; that the secretion of the mucous
membranes are quickly affected, and local
treatments in the form of snuffs and
vapors do little, if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oii-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

There are many things learned from
experience and observation that the old
en- generation should impress upon the
younger. Among them is the fact that
scrofula and other humors, which pro-
duee eczema, boils, pimples and other
eriptions, can be most successfully
treated with Hoods Sarsaparila.
This great medicine is a peculiar com
binaiton of remarkably effective blood
