HAUBER THEATRE.

Of Twenty Thousand Leagues Un- der the Sea-" the Chicago Tribune said the Universal had the Kaiser for a press agent and the Chicago Ameri- can declared this submarine photo drama to be the greatest evening of cinema ever offered in the history of the art" adding that anyone who missed seeing it would be in the class with the visitor to Niagara who didn' t see the Falls."t Chicago papers speak of ""Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" as the Universal's wonder picture. It was filmed at the bottom of the ocean by the inventions of the Williamson brothers who have solved the secret of ocean photography. z There is a thrill in. almost every foot of the 900 scenes in this sub- marine play. Captain Memo proves to be the mighty wizard of the deep that Jules Verne made him, and the won ders of ocean depths viewed through the magic window in his submarine Nautilus reveal an enchanting panor- anna, which, the Chicago Post says, dcfiess. the most superlative adiec- tives to deScribe."

When Cole Bros. big three. ring trained wild animal show exhibits at Pine Bluff on Wednesday, September they will bring with them the most daring and fearless wild animal train CT known to the American people,.
 Mir. Chas. Gay enters the big steel arena at everyperformance. He takes tigers, partners. lions. and leopards. trains them to jump three hoops of fire, walk tight ropes, makes leop- ards work in harmony with partners and other wild beasts under perfect contfol.
 The big clumsy cinnamon bears, al wayssa feature of every animal per deville stage are taught to walk on their hind feet, dring from a bottle, balance themselves on rolling balls as we'll as wrestle with their trainer.
 The tarined wild animal feature of Cole Bros'., show, MT. Chas. Gay train er,1 is by far the best of it's kind pre- sented by any tented amusement en terprise. Cole Bros. have spared neither pains or money to make it better and to make it worth while to come miles to witness Gays $50,000 group of black-maEed African lions are the wonder of the animal world They are trained to work like dogs at the crack of the whip.

 Miss Muriel Croft, the heroine of many wild animal escapades will also be seen with Cole Bros. world-toured shows Miss Croft's group of per forming tigers, leopards and partners must be seen to be appreciated. This fearless little woman has seen the wild beasts in the African and Indian jungles, having accompanied her hus- band on several wild animal hunting expeditions. She has been torn and mangled by ferocious beasts time and time again, while on these hunt ing vacations, as we'll as in the steel arena while training her pets. These

HILLEGAs' FIRST REPORT,
Continued from page y

basis Of the per cent of the grand list
that they raised and spent for current
school expenses,
1.-THE feature of the law which has
received greatest consideration Is that
which deals with transportation, Each
child who lives mile and a half or
more from the school is now entitled TO
transportation II this is feasible; other
wise the town is required to board him
near school, Some parents mis-.
understanding the purpose of this law
demanded and received oxhlrbitant
prices for conveying their own children
TO school. The abuses of the law have
quite naturally received greatest at
tention. 1t should not be forgotten,
however that by far the larger number
Of parents are acting in accordance
with the spirit Of the law and are maxi
ing positive sacrifices in order that
their children may attend school with
reasonable comfort, In every case the
provisions Of the law are adequate to
prevent abuses. School officials are
now generally aware Of this fact and
the law is better administered, The
total cost Of transportation and board
for the year ending June 30, 1916, was
$751; 6S5,36. OF this amount the State
paid $SS, 1853, 36. The difference in cost
between carrying every child who is en-
titled to transportation under the
present law and the cost of partial
transportation such as existed under the
previous law is less than $40, 900, The
average daily cost per child for trans
portation in 1876 was eighteen cents
Reports from various superintendent
and school directors indicate that the
cost of transportation for the present
school year will be somewhat less than
it was during l9l5-l6, The present law
is as just and effective as any that
could now be devised. The State Board
of Education, therefore, recommends
that it be retained until adequate eX-
perience and careful study of its work
ing shall indicate the particulars re-
curing amendment "

NEW METHOD or
TELLING FOWLS AGES

There are certain rather indefinite
physical characteristics that go to in
dictate aged birds from those of tender
years, such as the size of spur, color
of shanks, prominence Of certain veins
under the wing, etc These for the
most part are general rather than spe-
cific, hence more or less misleading.
A more accurate method has been
discovered by Victor Fortier of the
Canadian department of agriculture,
which to many breeders of even wide
experience will appear as novel and
vet practical and reliable.
In females fully feathered and from
six to fourteen months Of age the first
secondary near the avail feather is
shorter than the others, and the quill
is more central, banding in short

vision for supervision of all the schools
and transportation of all pupils who live
more than mile and half from the
schools. The Junior High Schools have
made good beginning and it is recon-
mended that $50, 900 additional be spent
upon them, 1t is also suggested that
the support of the Normal schools be
advanced to $50, 900 year,
1t will not take the Legislature long ia
do all that the Board of Education asks,
nor will il cost the State much more
money, There are no suggestions OF
controversy in this report, 1t is a
constructive document, which deserves
careful study on the part of the people
of the State,

THE SCHOOL REPORT.

The report of the Board of Educa-
ton sent out from the Office Of Com
missioner Hillegas is clear, sensible,
business-like statement of what YER
mont is doing in the administration of
its public school system. 1t is the best
school report the State has seen for
many day. 1t records the efforts of a
conscientious, Woodworking school ad-
ministrator, who is not striving for eff
ect, but who is doing things every day
to help the schools. Such a man may
have to make unpopular decisions, but
he deserves support.
DR.. Hllegas does not favor many
changes in the educational laws. He
finds that for the most part they are
working we'll, and that where defects
exist the trouble is not in the laws but
in their enforcement. So instead of
asking the legislature for more laws he
proposes to give his time to administer
ing those we have. That is sensible.
The announcement that the special
assistance to towns employing trained
teachers "has had most beneficial re-
suits" should almost mark a red letter
day in the history of Vermont educa-
ton. For years the chief complaint as
to our schools has been the inequality
between rural schools and those in large
towns and cities. For years also eX-
periments have been tried to reduce the
inequality and help out the small towns.
None of these attempts have been very
successful. But the last Legislature
adopted the plan Of paying the small
town according to the degree of train
ing of the teachers employed, thus
putting the money into quality of teach
ing where it will do good to the
scholars. Some sneered at such a plan
and even its friends feared that some
way would be found to render it in
effective, but evidently it has worked,
for the Board reports that it "has had
most beneficial results upon the
schools.
Other features of the law have been
found to work well, such as the pro-

A RADICAL INAUGURAL.

Governor Graham's inaugural adj
dress, of which we publish an abstract
in another column, suggests a number
of changes in the management of State
affairs, many of them quite radical,
His idea seems to be to concentrate re-
sponsibility and to work through selected
men rather than through committees.
The principle is good one. Where you
have a committee one person usually
does the work, and the other members
simply hang on for share of the honor
But it may be that our worthy Governor
has gone a little "too fur, " as Governor
Stewart used to say. For example five
Institutions the States Prison, the
House of Correction, the Industrial
School, the Asylum at Waterbury, and
the new School for the Feeble Minded
are a good deal for one man to manage,
even if you do call him a Director Of
State Institutions. He might have to
do more travelling than his wife might
like. Probably most people think the
State has been fortunate in having two
men like Commissioner of Agriculture
Brigham and State Forester Halves, but
the Governor thinks one man is enough
and that he could take on the duties of
several others in addition. We imagine
the people of the northern part of the
county will have some objections to
abolishng their probate district. There
are number of things in this inaugural
we shall need to think over quite
little. But Governor Graham is a SEN
sible man, of long experience in the
business affairs of Vermont, and un-
questonably he wants only what will
work and give full satisfaction to the
people. His recommendation should
be met in the same spirit, apart from
local and personal prejudice and interest,
and every proposal will doubtless re-
ceive careful and honest consideration.

Mr.. Peet had not been well for some
time, but was seriously sick only few
days. He was farmer and a promi-
nent citizen of Cornwall. He graduated
from Middlebury College in the class of
1861 and for the following sixteen years
was engaged in teaching. In 1877 he
located in Cornwall, where he has since
resided. He was a member of the Leg
islature in 1898. He was active in town
and county affairs and was especially
interested in the Cornwall library. He
is survived by one son, Edward H. Peet
of Cornwall. The funeral will be held
at his late home Saturday at one o'clock

Horses Have Tastes In Choosing Their

That horses have their peculiar tastes
in selecting the most palatable feeds
is shown by recent Investigations at
the Ohio experiment station, in which
some hays were eaten with great relish
while Others were only partly consum-
ed. Mixed clover and timothy seemed
to satisfy their appettes best, and
bronze grass was also to their liking.
Timothy hay stood third. None of the
horses were fond Of tall oat grass,
while blue grass and redtop were also
near the bottom of the list Of palatable
grasses.
