In an effort to FIX eighteen years as

HARD AND OFTEN
Spaulding High Found Cla-
rici of Waterbury High
to Their Liking
VISITORS DEFEATED
BY IL TO 3 SCORE
Polli Would Have Had a
Shut-Out Except for a
Bunch of Errors

One big inning, that the first, spelle'
defeat for the Waterbury high schoo
baseball team at the Lincoln campus yes
terday afternoon, when that aggregation
met defeat by the score of II TO 3 from
the hands of the Spaulding high schoo
team. A week ago at Waterbury The
Spaulding team was defeated by thu
score of 3 to after an ll-inning contest
but the exhibition of the Waterbury
team at the Lincoln campus yesterday
afternoon resembled in several ways that
of sand-lot affairs.
Every player on the Spaulding team
connected with the pill for one safety
with the exception of Parks, while Van
ETH, Geals and Rennie headed the artil-
lery attack, the former hitting safely on
four out of five trips to the plate. Geals
connected with the ball on three oeca
sions, two OF them going for doubles.
Fourteen safe bingles were collected OIL
the delivery of Clarici, the Waterbury
hurler, two of them being doubles, while
Calderara connected with one, the ball
sailing into far right field for three bases.
Mann for the Spaulding team had a
bad day in the field, making three mis-
cues, all of which came in the ninth in
ming, and which had great deal to do
with the three runs. which the visiting
team managed to put across the plate in
the last inning. Luce of the Waterbury
team also had an cratic dav, making
three costly errors. all of which resulted
in runs for the Spaulding team.
Polli, the Spaulding twirler, was in
excellent form, holding his opponents TO
FIVE fcattered hits, while he would have
been credited with shut tout game had
not the cratic plays in the ninth inning
Melted three runs. Eight Waterbury
batters whitfield the breezes, while the
Spaulding hurler only allowed two free
tickets to first base.
As already stated, the Spaulding team
scored enough runs in the first inning to
insure victory, four runs being scored
before the smoke of their batting rally
had cleared. Rennie, the first man at
bat, was given base on balls. He stole
second and scored on hard single by
Mann into left field, the latter taking
second base when Deal tried to catch
Rennie at the home plate. Geals hit
grounder through the short stop, Mann
going to third. Nanetti hit hard
grounder along third base line, which
was too hot for Luce to handle, although
Mann was held at third base. He came
in with the second run, when Calderara
was given base on balls, the rum being
forced in. Polli hit a grounder to Luce,
who threw to Powers in an attempt to
put out Geals at home plate, but Powers

THE COUNSEL OF OUR HOPES.
And Not of Our Fears Urged Rev. Charles
c. Merrill

Lyndonyille, May 23.-The principal
address yesterday afternoon at the cen
tennial meeting of the Vermont Domestic
Missionary society, held in connection
with the Congregational convention, was
by the associate secretary, Rev. Charles
c. Merrill OF Burlington on The Next
Twenty-Five Years of Vermont Congrega-
tionalism." Mr. Merrill said that there
was only one sufficient reason for con-
sidering this subject and that reason
was not concerned at all with Vermont
Congregationalism as an end in itself.
What is at stake now is not any ism"
or denomination, or any church 1t was
the world which was at stake. The ques-
tion was what can we Vermont Con-
gregationalists do during the next quar-
ter centgry--to take a convenient space
of time that is not too long-as a real
and worthy contribution toward saving
the world from the hell in which it now
is and from the future hell in which it
will be unless the trend of civilized life
during the last fifty years can be radical
ly changed 7"
Mr. Merrill said that during the past
year, emphasis had been placed on the
STATE NuEh On lle1c SIN pIlHtlpieS' h
service on the part of the
local church 2. Cooperation with other
so as to attain the goal
for one Protestant church for the small
community and unified plan Of work
for two or more churches in the larger |
3. Adequate provision for |
the twenty five towns and sixty five |
or parts of towns where our |
church is practically the only Protestant |
church. a. Thorough plans for securing
and insuring a competent ministry for |

md more efficient fellowship illustrated
n part by the fraternal visiting of the
,hurches BY the state secretary.
The principles had worked SO well dur
ng the year that it seemed clear they
hould be still further developed and
arried out during the quarter century
head. The time had now come really
o try out our Christianity. We must
axe counsel of our hopes and not our
ears We must dare to be dreamers
or only by dreaming dreams of better
world and then actually fulfilling them,

TAX LEGISLATION
is NECESSARY
Secretary McAdoo's Advisors So Decide
at Conference-President' Atti-
tude Not Known.

Washington, May 23.-Whether there
shall be more tax laws at the present
session of Congress threatens to devel
ope into the proportions of a contest be.
tween the administration and Congress
with possibilities of being carried before
the country as an issue.
President Wilson probably will be
asked before the controversy is over to
choose whether he shall support Secre-
tary McAdoo in his determination for
more revenue legislation or whether he
will agree with Congress, which almost
unanimously oppose it.
At a conference of Secretary McAdoo's
advisors yesterday, it was decided that
the legislation was necessary, but il was
not decided whether to ask President
Wilson to lead the fight for it as an ad-
ministration measure.

SCHOOLS CAN FURNISH
ENOUGH BOYS AND GIRLS
To Meet the Needs in Offi1es Which Are
Brought About by Heavy Demands
Which War Has Made on Of
fee Employees

New York, May 23--If business men
schools throughout the country, it will
be possible to put on pre-eminent, sys.
tematie basis the employment Of young
men and women for general office work,
declares Sherwin Cody, managing direc-
tor of the National Associated Schools of
| Scientific Business. of Chicago This as
| ISOLATION is described as pubic service
organization devoted to the improvement
of commercial education. Mr.. Cody said
that the schools throughout the country
are ready 20 supply the boys and girls
needed to fill positions in offices left va
cant because of the heavy demands
which the war has made upon office EN-.
ployes.
Business men Of New York, hard
pressed to fill places made vacant by the
enlistment and CONSUMPTION Of an army
of Office trained youths, will have access
within few weeks to the records of
$4,000 pupils of New York high schools
who now are undergoing a test of their
capability for commercial employment.
The examinations are being conducted
by school officials under the supervision
VI AhtE NuAN WIN Nltf hPPApfhi VI
the department of education and the
merchants association of New York A
large group of employers including the
heads OF some of the nations greatest
corporations, has given moral and hnan-
cial support to the undertaking.
The pupils win be rated as to mental
alertness and accuracy and proficiency in
educational fundamentals. The tests,
Mr. Cody says, will cost t-To cents for
each pupil and it is being betrayed by
employers of Office help.
The records resulting from the tests
viii be supplied TO commercial houses,
which apply for them through clearing
house for employment bureaus and will
be available before the end of June, when
a majority of the pupils affected will
leave school TO enter business
Mr.. Cody is confident that success for
the experiment now in progress here will
encourage the adoption of the test plan
on a nationwide basis and he predicts
that it will contribute materially TO the
of Office organizations and at
he same time improve the records of
pupils in the schools by offering to them
business positions as reward for schol-
lstic excellence.
The Cody plan. which calls for pc
-iodie efficiency tests in the schools, uses
self-apparent form of record, of which
he following is condensed specimen:
