An oYERGR0MN TOWN.

The efforts of the voters Of the town
OF Brookline, Mass, to retain the town
government system in all its Yankee
simplicity are rather interesting, in view
of the fact that Brookline is large enough
to be fair-sized city, as well as being
one of the richest communities in the
United States. The efforts are the more
interesting when it becomes known that
there are $500 voters in the town and
no hall in the community is large enough
to accommodate more than 900 persons.
so that the holding OF the old-fashioned
town meeting, which is the prime part
of the Yankee town system of govern
ment, is mpossible-impossble, that is,
lii representative government OF the ma
jority is thing to be desired. TO get
around the difficulty it is now proposed
to elect representatives to attend town
meeting. each OF ten defined districts OF
the town being entitled to have p repre-
sentatiyes at the town meeting, while at
the same time the heads OF government
already in Office would be expected to be
in ATTENDANCE. That would make the to-
tai membership of town meeting come
easily within the accommodations Of the
largest hall in the town, and with a lit
tie room to rattle around in too. IN
other words, il is proposed TO fiji the gov
eminent OF the community to the size Of
the largest enclosed meeting place, or
hall. Brookline. therefore, is like the
overgrowu boy who is trying to get into
the trousers which fitted him fairly snug
~ year ago, and is confronted with the
alternative OF donuing man-size attire.

system.
We are all able to meet on the ground
that we need better teachers and that
the first step toward getting them is to
pay better wages. Can't we provide for
this before the legislature adjourns by
adopting a minimum salary schedule,
with a proviso for additional pay from
the state for higher scholastic work as
advocated by President Thomas Of Mid
dleburyt We all agree that larger
share of the school expense in the small
er towns should be borne by the state
if we are to get families to stay on our
back farms. Couldn't the above salary
schedule be arranged so as to do this?
We are all agreed that the state schol.
arships should be taken out of politics.
Can't we do this by throwing them open
to competitive examination for all boys
and girls? This would give every stu
dent an even chance, whether he had
influence or not.
There is strong sentiment through.
out the state that we should have a
strong man for state superintendent,
that he should not be subseryient to any
body but the people, that his office
should be kept out of politics and that
he be given reasonable freedom in work

Can't we provide before the legislature
adiourns that he be appointed by the
governor for term of five years, with
sufficient assistants to carry on prop
erly the work OF his office?
With the above suggestions acted upon,
we could well let the other questions go
