There viii be general satisfaction over
Governor Gates's choice of members of the
new state board of education. James
Hartness of Springfield and Frank H.
Brooks of st. Johnsbury, who were mem
bers of the former board, are reappointed,
the former to the position of chairman,
post which he is eminently we'll qualified
TO fill The new members are Rev A. w
Hewitt of Plain6eld, whose work as chair
man Of the education committee in the last
legislature brought him in close touch
with the new education bill; AIarvelle c.
Webber, chairman of the board of educa-
ton of the city of Rutland; and Luther
3. Johnson, editor of the Randolph Her
aid and News, one of the most studious
newspaper men in Vermont and particu-
larly interested in educational matters
The new law gives the board much greater
control over Vermont's educational sys-
tenn than was formerly the case, but there
is no doubt that the men named by Gov
ernor Gates are thoroughly competent to
assume the duties The only thing The
Reformer regrets is that the governor did
not name a woman as one member. As a
rule women are so much more closely in
touch with school affairs that it seems as
if womans viewpoint would have been
worth having.

An Index to Community Spirit.
(Barre Times. J

Barre Times,
We feel that the following good advice
from the Brattleboro Reformer ought to
be passed along and so we do our part
toward it.
Nothing adds more to the attractive
ness of a town or makes a better impress
sion on strangers than welEpainted houses,
good sidewalks and streets which are kept
clean, and shade trees, ornamental shrub
berry and flowers in the yards around the
homes. A little expense and little at
tention in these directions will go a long
way in making every community brighter
and pleasanter.
In fact, the appearance of the premises
and buildings in a community go a long
way in furnishing an index Of the spirit
of the community the premises and
buildings are in a rundown condition or
in only half kept condition it is sure
sign that the affairs of the town are run
in an equally careless manner and that
the town or city is not making any prog
ress to speak of It is remarkable how
quick the observing stranger Is to note
the signs of internal decay Of a commun-
ity as given by the outward appearances
Few communities, if they realized how
often this rule is applied in sizing up a
town, would permit these outward signs
to betoken slothfulness.

The Best All-Around Horse.
Barton Monitor. }


It is easy enough to produce horses of
the size and general appearance of the
Morgan, but they differ from the real
Morgan as much as the purebred Ayr
shire differs from the slahAsided shrub
cow Your Morgan has great strength
for his size, courage, endurance, intelli-
gence and docility As a hill-climber he
has no equal That he can do as much
work in day as big horse may surprise
some, but it is a fact. Supt. Hammond of
the Weybridge farm has made tests along
this line which prove it, At that farm
they have draft horses weighing around
900 pounds. During the work of get
ting the farm into shape it was necessary
to do considerable blasting and consequent
hauling of rock Mr.. Hammond put one
of his big teams and a pair of Morgans
at work and kept a record of what each
did. While the big horses hauled a heav-
Ter load they We're so much slower than
fthe Morgans that at night they were
found to have no more actual work &C
complished than the light team Now
lsupposing farmer wanted to go to tow
| the next morning. The Morgans would
take him there in half the time the draf
horses would require. The smaller horse
too, is easier to take care of and costs les
for feed and upkeep.

An order issued by the interstate COM
merce commission compelling railroad com
panies to give up their ownership in
steamship lines at the close of the season
Of navigation Dec. l next, will seriously
affect the Rutland railroad, which owns
the Rutland Transit company, Vermont
corporation with capital stock of ST.
100000. This subsidiary concern operates
on the great lakes six steel boats of a
total value of over a million dollars. These
boats bring freight from Milwaukee and
Chicago to Ogdensburg, n. Y, where d-
rect connection is made with the Rutland
railroad 1t is claimed that the discon-
great injustice upon investors and upon
along the line of the Rutland
railroad, that the valuable warehouses at
Ogdensburg viii become worthless, that
the property of the transit company will
be greatly deprecated, and that as a re-
suit of the loss of traffic the freight ser
vice of the railroad will be impaired.
The order of the interstate commerce
commission grows out of the passage by
congress of the Panama canal act, in which
provision was made for stopping the opera
ton by railroads of boat lines competing
with the railroad-owners. From the in
formation at hand it appears that in an
attempt to regulate big business congress
in this case enacted a measure seriously
affecting the values of property and Incl
ldentally placing an additional burden upon
communities and individuals dependent
upon the Rutland railroad for freight ser
vice.

% per cent of the electors of Grenada
county as shown by petition sent him.
Gov. Brewer, few days ago named
Mr.. Lewis f. Crook of Meridian to audit
the books of the county officers of Gre
NADIA county, the audit to begin with
the year 1904. The authority of the
Governor for making the appointment
rests on chapter 24l of the laws of
1914 and Code sections 2388-2S92.
Mr.. Crook is an auditor of wide expe-
rience and is in every sense of the
word a high class gentleman. 1t is
understood that he will have several
men engaged with him and that he will
push the work to a rapid conclusion.
The petitions forwarded the Governor
asked that the audit extend back as
far as the law would admit, hence the
reason. no doubt for beginning back II
years.
