THE Bill.

To the Editor: | wish to call to
your attention the misunderstanding
which seems TO exist in the minds of
the consuming public hat the pass
age of the Stevens bill will create
~monopolies and subject the consumer
to other forms of imposition.
Section A of this meritOriOus mea-
sure, however. says that a manufac-
turer shall not have any monopoly or
control of the market for articles be
longing to the same general class Of
merchandise; nor shall a manufac-
turer be a party to any agreement,
combination or understanding with
any competitor in the production,
manufacture or sale of any similar
merchandise in regard to the price
at which the same shall be sold either
to dealers at wholesale or retail or
to the public.
The questions involved in this leg
islation are moral as well as eco
nomic. They are, whether the pub
lie is to be decoyed by cut price
"bait"-whether the small retailer is
to be crushed and the independent
small manufacturer is to be deprived
of a market for his honest wares.
The great benefit TO the consumer
will accrue from competition in eX-
cellence between manufacturers who
are now inclined to cut quality in
meeting competition in price. Every
citizen ought to take an interest in
this legislation and see that his con
gresham supports the Stevens bill
for the welfare of his community and
for the sake of common honesty.
Very truly yours,
j. G.. Schultz.

long as there is anywhere from three

animal was travelling between the two
banks made by the snow shoveled

preached from the side of the street

and its natural habitat. the river, the
animal Immediately resented the inter-

foot Mr.. Eaton pushed the animal into

some boys from the mill.
The fact of man being attacked by

COLUMBUS WIRES HUM
Little New Mexico Town Suddenly Be-
comes a News Center. a 2H3 !

Columbus, n. NJ, has become al
most over night one OF the most i'm
portant telegraph centers in the United
States. Before the villa raid the send
ing or receipt Of telegraphic messages
at Columbus was infrequent. Now the
town is the distributing point for prac-
tically all of the news which comes
from the punitive expedition.
To meet the suddenly increased de-
mands on the telegraph service many
new wires have been strung from Co
lumbus to Ell Paso. a distance of about
seventy miles. Ell Paso already had
a large telegraph branch. but even that
was taxed beyond its capacity as re-
suit of the developments within the
last ten days. 1t was necessary, there
fore. to install new equipment to get
all of the messages out
An important part of the new equip
ment is an automatic device which has
been in use for several years by tele-
graph companies and which makes pos
sible the sending of eight different
messages over one wire simultaneous
ly. The use of this device has made
it unnecessary to string any new wires
from Ell Paso. .a .Uri
Scores of operators have been rush
ed to both Columbus and Ell Paso from
nearby points and other operators
have been sent from greater distances
to take their places. Slra
Columbus is the nearest point In
the United States to the route which
the American troops are taking. The
messages arrive from there by courier
and are relayed to Ell Paso. whence
they are sent all over the country.

PROF. HILLEGAS APPOINTED
Commissioner Of Education to Succeed

Professor Milo B. Hillegas of the

and Maryelie c. Weber of Rutland
When an announcement OF the ap-
polntment of PROFESSOR Hillegas was
sought last evening from one of the
members OF the board he declined to
speak for publication, but dad not
oeny the appointment had been made
Previously, Mason S. Stone, at Mont
peller, had declared no appointment
had been made SO tar as he knew.
Mr.. Stone resigned as commissioner
several months ago, but consented to
continue to serve as commissioner for
time. Professor Hillegas, his sue
cessor, is well known in Vermont. as
he made the detailed examination OF
the elementary schools or the State
TOR the Carnegie foundation, whose re-
port OF the study OF education IN the
State was published in 1914. Profes.
sor Hiilegas spent many weeks in Yer
mont in gathering material for his
study OIL the elementary schools He is
unquestionably well qualified for this
important work
Some idea of his recommendation
for the elementary schools can be gain
ed from the following extract reprint
ed from the Educational Survey con.
Quoted under the Carnegie foundation.
"A new course of study is needed.
The steps that have been taken in this
matter are mainly in the right direc-
ton. 1t is not possible for any one
person to be so fully acquainted with
all parts of the State that he can make
course suited to all conditions
Since the course of study is such an
important factor in instruction il
should be made by those primarily
concerned with instruction, namely
the teachers and superintendents with
the advice and direction of the State
board OF education. For this purpose
experienced teachers and superintend
ents from all parts of the State should
be organized into committees and
brought together at an early date, H.
order that the general principle that
shall govern the making of the course
may be fully explained and illustrated
Not less than two years should be al
lowed these committees in which t.
prepare a tentative course, which
should then be published and tried in
the schools for year in order to rem
edy its effects before final adoption
4 here should be at least two separate
courses, one for the rural schools and
one for the graded schools. Much oi
the subject matter in ~these tive
courses would be the same, but the
suggestions and , applications should
vary greatly. rs The, various cities and
unions, might add appropriate moditil
cations. This method Of making
course. of study will REQUIRE a carefu
consideration Of all of the conditions
surrounding the schools. and win re
suit in courses adapted to the needs
OF Vermont, Incidentally 1T will great
ly benefit all Of those who take part in
the, work of their preparation.
