PETWORTH BACKING
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Citizens Association Opposes
Change in Schools Proposed
by Commissioners.

A protracted debate OF the proposed
change in the District school admins
tration with T.. w. oyster, member OF
the board of assistant assessors, leading
the fight favoring the change, was the
feature OF the meeting OF the Petworth
Citizens Association last night the
body finally going on record Ms opposed
to the change. In addition to indoTsin <
the present school system. the assOc!a-
tions resolution recommended that the
authority In the school administration
now vested ia the Commissioners be
transferred to the I2Oard OF Education.
President 4. J. James congratulated
the members of the committee on ed
ucat!on, which reported on the ques-
tion. for rcfrainng from condemnation
of the Commissioners. -.' ..r..
we have passed resolutions indorsing
the present form OF administratio -
said Mr.. James. but the committee aud
the association in general Is TO be con
graduated that the small attacks which
have chara ctcrizcd the opposition to
this change OF other civic bodies, has
not entered into our decision.
"No one who has heard the argume nt 5
of the commissioners favoring this
change or who knows the attitude OF the
present District heads could be 80 ab-
suTd as 10 accuse them. of irving 10
make Il political CatspaN OF the school
system. We believe the Commissioners
are absolutely sincere I'm their proposal
Ia augment the efficiency OF the admin
is;ration of the schools"
The report upon which the associate
acted based its conclusions on the asser-
tion that the proposal of the Commits
sioncrs would practically be a return to
the unsatisfactory organization in vogue
prior To 1900. with which there was 81
much dissatisfaction that after quite an
exhaustive hearing bv subcommittee
OF the Senate District Committee. II was
superseded bv the act OF June T. 1900"

They REFUSE TO EAT

At periods in most childrens' lives
theyfail to relish their meals and refuse
to eat even the delicacies prepared to
tempt their appetiteS. They lack am
bition, and growth seems impeded,
which causes anxiety and worry,
To compel them to eat is a grave
mistake, because nutrition is impaired.
Healthful exercise in fresh air and sun
shine is important, but equally import
ant is spoonful of SCOTS Emulsion
three times day to feed the tissues
and furnish food-energy to improve
their blood, aid nutrition and sharpen
their appetites.

ity. Most OF this SS0OO.OOO was con-
tribCted from this country.
The financial scheme of relief work
in Liege was similar to that I'm the rest
of Belgium, Mr.. Chadbourn said. Sup
plies were sold at a profit OF 5 per cent,
and this 8 per cent was turned into a
fund to feed the destitute.
One way In which assistance was rem
dered was in accepting the paper money
OF Belgium in payment for food and
clothing. This money was not good out
side Belgium, but the paper money
thus accepted was turned into the Bel
gian treasury, and thus Belgian gold,
which was acceptable in London, was
used TO purchase more supplies.
"Such work as this Mr.. ChadhouTn
stated had to be done by outsiders
since the Belgians are practically under
the dictatorship OF Germany, and. their
government was powerless to do much
that we have been able to do for them"

board likewise accepted the report of
the committee on public schools and
acted favorably on la resolution offered
by Frederick A. Fenning, the chair
man, which read:
Resolved, That the Washington

VERMONT POETS
Distinctive Publications Issued by
Three Well Known Writers.

Distinctive Publications Issued by
Three Well Known Writers.
For Vermont the year 1916 win have
one distinctive feature, the publca-
tion of book of poems by three Yer
monters. First came The Harp of
the North by Arthur Wentworth
Hewitt and almost simultaneously at
the opening of the Christmas season
This Land We Love" by Wendell P.
Stafford and STRAY Thoughts in
Verse" by Rev. w. +. Baker.
Each poets work is distinctive and
each one adds to the strength of lit
erature and beauty of thought. Rev.
Hewitt has touched more closely the
level of common life. the joys. griefs,
thoughts and aspirations OF the man
and woman who toll and strive to
live.
Judge Stafford s book is a collection
of poems written during a term of
years many of the poems having been
published in the reports OF events for
which they were written. Some, like
The Old Pine" and "Thaddeus Fair
banks" are local in character. In
many others zeal and lofty patriotism
thrill and inspire the reader while the
lyrics in the volume breathe pure
and tender love that charms and en-
riches the emotions of all mankind.
Rev. Baker is not native OF Ver-
mont, but is one of the able Congre-
gational preachers of the state located
at Morrisville. His poems do not pos
stss the nationalism or state pride
found in Judge Stafford's poems but
they do picture a mothers love, a
fathers loyalty pure love, the poetry
of nature, the grandeur OF the uni
verse, the charms of companionship
and graceful exhortations for the bet
ter things CT life. They are printed in
attractive booklet form and cannot
fail to bring the reader a keener
pleasure and purer devotion.
Every Vermonter who loves his
state. its men and women. the charms
Of nature and purse and lofty thoughts
should add to his library the three
volumes of Vermont poetry published
during the year 19l6.-St. Johnsbury

Chancellor Law Asks for Credit of

Head Of Exchequer Says Nation Can
Only Hope to Keep up Expendi-

London, Dec. 15.-Andrew BonaT
Law, chancellor of the British eX
chequer, announced in the House OF
Commons yesterday afternoon that
the daily average expenditure OF
Great Britain in the war had risen to
E5,710,000 Bonar Law said the ac'
tual expenditure had exceeded the es
innate owing to the increase in mu
nitions and additional loans to Great
Britain's allies and to her dominions
The chancellor moved vote of credit
of G400.000,000 $4,000, ,000,000),
which the House Of Commons unani
mously adopted.
The chancellor gave the votes OF
credit since the outbreak of the war
and said that they did not quite rep
resent all of the expenditure There
had been expenditures over and above
the votes of credit of G330 100000
bringing the total since the outbreak
of the war TO 9,S52,000,000.
That figure takes the magma
tion," he went on. 1T is a colossal
figure but l do not think it is an ap-
palling figure. We cannot continue
at the present figure indefinitely. All
we can hope for is that we can keep
at that figure long enough to beat our
enemies, and | believe we can go on
long enough to make sure that 1t will
not be from financial causes If we fail
to secure victory"
