REFUSE GERMAN PEACE OFFER
Germany Blamed for the Origin of the War-No Peace
Unless Reparation is Made-PrOposal is Called War
Maneuver

"a mere suggestion, without state
mcnt of terms, that negotiations should
be opened is not an offer of peace. .
1t would appear to be less an offer of
peace than war maneuvre.
At the present moment these sham
offers rest ON the war map of Europe
alone, which represents nothing more
than a superficial and passing phase of
the situation and not the real strength
of the bclligcrcnts.
Gully conscious of the gravity of
this moment, but equally conscious of
its requirements, the allied governments,
closely united to one another and i'll per-
feet sympathy with their peoples, re-
fuse to consider a proposal which is
empty and insincerc.
"Oncc again the allies declare that
no peace is possible so long as they
have not secured reparation of the
principle of nationalities and the free
existence of small states; so long as
they have not brought about settle
mcnt calculated to end once and for all
forces which constituted perpetual
menace to the nations and to afford the
only effective guarantee for the future
security Of the world.

in such manner that he could not eXtri-

The deer had fought to clear himself
and chaied the skin from the top part of
his head. 1t is thought the animal had
been there about two weeks or more as
the foxes and bobcats had partly devomed
him.

State Help for Rural Schools.

The act which authorized the state
board of education to pay the sums OF
50, So or 81 per week to towns elm
ploying teachers of requisite training
in their rural schools has had most
beneficial effects upon the schools.
These rebates cost the state sos ,3l2.3O.
liz a few towns the rebate was used to
lessen taxes and teachers and schools
were not benefited. That this was not
of common occurrence is shown by the
fact that the increase i'll teachers sal
aries between the school years 1914-l5
and 19l5-l6 was more than II per cent
while the rate of increase for the sew
eral preceding years was about per
cent. In addition to the amount that
the state gave, the towns themselves
! increased the teachers salaries by $40
600. The increased salaries are attract
ing teachers with improved training.
The number of permits has decreased
from $50 in 1914 to 3 in the present
fall term. The board has been also able
to raise the requirements for certifica-
ton so that no one may now begin
teaching in Vermont without at least
one year of professional training and
even those unframed teachers who
state prior to July |, 1916, are required
to secure professional training if the
towns employing them are to receive
state aid. The board recommends that
this provision of the law remain UNI
changed.
In conformity with law the state
board of education divided the state
into convenient districts and appointed
the requisite number of superntcnd
cnts. During the years that supervi
sion was optional IS per cent of the
towns having So per cent of the schools
and Sc per cent of the school children
of the state adopted supervision. II
1915, the last year that supervision
; was optional, it cost $99,0l4.79. o.
this amount the state paid $6S, S90.6S
The total cost in 1916 was 1929, S65.5l
land the state s share was $ll0,993. lG
1t appears, therefore, that to place al
. of our schools under supervision ha
increased the total cost by only $50
, S50.75. Looking at the cost of super
} vision from a different angle, the boar
paid ON an average $l.S7 per child am
n $37.SS per teacher in the district wher
r it appointed the superintendent. Thi
