SAW EvIDENcES'oF TUBERCULOSIS
Barre People Examined Carcasses of Con-
demned Cattle.

A party of Barre men, including farm
ers. the city council, DR.. j. H. Woodruff
and DR.. T. H Bancroft, the latter a vet
Urinary. and also DIR. G. H. Burr, the dis
triet health officer of the local district,
were in Burlington yesterday afternoon
TO witness the slaughter of cattle and TO
examine the carcasses for evidences of
tuberculosis, following the condemnation
Of the cattle through the tuberculin test.
The visit was taken in conjunction with
the campaign recently started by the
Barre city council to require that only
milk from tested herds be sold in Barre
in accordance with the new city ordi-
nance.
Not all Of the 30 cattle slaughtered at
the Burlington Rendering Co.'S plant yes
terday afternoon were from Barre but
part of them were cows condemned out
of Barre herds or herds supplying milk
to the Barre trade In reporting their
observations. members of the party state
that all the 80 cows showed unmistak
able signs of tuberculosis, the disease be-
ing centered in various parts Of the car
cass although in no case in the udder,
according to DIR. Woodruff. There was
tuberculosis in the glands, in the liver
and in fact, in nearly all parts Of the
body and in such stages as to convince
the members of the party that the tu-
berculin test is very desirableA The
members of the city council were made
even stronger in their stand in favor of
Cleaning up" tuberculosis among the
herds supplying milk in Barre.
1t should be stated to allay unneces-
sary alarm among the people Of Barre
who have been buying milk from some
cows that have recently been condemned,
that Dr. Adams, the expert on tuberculo-
sis in cattle, expressed the opinion at a
recent hearing in Barre that the danger
of communication of tuberculosis from
cows TO human beings through milk was
unlikely unless the tuberculosis should
be centered in the udder. However, it is
said to be impossible to state where the
disease is located until after the animal
is slaughtered.
Dr. Slayton of Morrisville was also
among the spectators at the slaughter
A move similar to that in Barre has been
inaugurated in the vicinity of Morris
Vile
1t is true that farmers in the Barre
district are sustaining losses through the
slaughter of cattle For instance, in the
large number of cattle shipped yesterday
to Burlington was a registered Holstein
bull valued at ST. 900, for which the own
er receives $ll0, and registered Holstein
COW valued at 5000, for which the owner
gets but SIS from the state,

FEDERAL ASSISTANCE
FAVORED BY TEACHERS
Because of Inability of State and Local
Taxes to Bring the Needed
Money.

Vermont teachers at Montpelier to-
day went on record as favoring federal
assistance for the support of the schools
of the state. That part of the resolu-
tions adopted says:
Resolved, since adequate financial sup
port OF public education has become well
nigh impossible through local and state
taxation alone, we believe that federal
assistance must be provided. We believe
that the Smith-Towne bill guarantees
satisfactory aid and at, the same time
safeguards the states from federal en-
croachment. We, therefore, resolve that
our senators and representatives in Con-
gress be urged to support this bill
Other resolutions adopted by the teach
ers were as follows:
Resolved, in view of the great and
rapidly increasing shortage of trained
teachers, both locally and nationally, we
hereby urge that more adequate facil-
tiles for the training of teachers be pro-
vided. Realizing, however, that such
facilities will be practically useless un-
less salaries are made sufficient to en-
able the teaching profession to compete
with business and industry, we urge upon
all school officials such increases of sal
airy as will provide trained teacher for
every school.
Resolved, that we believe it is better
to close a school than to employ teach
er who is unfit through either lack of
ability or training.
Resolved, that we suggest that proper
steps be taken for making an amend
ment TO our constitution at the next an
nual meeting which shall provide for a
readjustment of membership dues to the
association.
Resolved That we express our appre-
citation Of the recently enacted teachers
retirement law. We believe that it will
aid greatly in securing permanency in
the teaching profession in Vermont
Resolyed-We favor the ratification OF
the proposed 10Th amendment to the fed.
eral constitution.
Resolved-That we call to the atten-
tion of all school officials and teachers
the necessity of thoroughly grounding
all children in American ideals and in
proper obedience to constituted author
ity in the home, the school and the state
Resolved That we pledge our loyal
support TO the state board of education
and to Commissioner Hillegas in the pol.
icies and efforts for improving public
education in Vermont.

KING ALBERT PRAISES
AMERICAN SOLDIERS
Calls 1t Tribute to Compulsory Education
That They Were Able to Absorb
Their Military Duties
. So Quickly.

On Board King Albert's Train, Oct. 10.
king Albert has been deeply impressed
with Americas educational system and
attributes the ability of American sol
diers to absorb military knowledge in a
remarkably short time to the compulsory
schooling they receive.
"Your armies were wonderful he said.
even your own people did not think, did
they, that you could send over two mil
lion men in year? And such fine sol
diers they were. They seemed to
be born fighting men. | do not know
how to say it in English, bat there seems
to be something in your soil which grows
such men. They went 5000 miles to fight
for an ideal and wherever saw one Of
them he knew what he was fighting for.
It was tribute TO your educational
system that they were also intelligent
and they could be trained in so short a
time"
Pointing to sehoolhouse in a village
his train was passing, he said: "See the
schools are large buildings and it is so
all over your country. Everyone here is
educated. Not only have you lower
schools and high schools and colleges,
but institutions of research, where young
men can get splendid training. They are
the peak, the summit"
Pointing to the broad fields past which
the train was speeding, he went on:
Here are large farmers and small
farmers. 1t is well that 1t is so, for the
ownership Of land makes for increased
production. The United States is fortu-
nate in that il has more than 1t needs
of everything and out of its balance it
can supply sustenance for Europe This
year and the next will be the worst. Aft
er that we should be able to supply our
selves with food. 1t is well you use
machinery to harvest your crops. In
Belgium it is not so. Before the war all
the work in our fields was done by
hand"
There was wistful note in his voice
as though he were thinking Of the men
who would go to the harvest no more
"All your people are prosperous" he
continued, "they have money. When
was in New York I was in the stock ex-
change. That is the center Of the worlds
finances"
Turning briefly to American invest
ments in Belgium, he said proudly; 'Our
people are thrifty and they will pay
their debts"
He nodded approval at the suggestion
that the purchase of Liberty bonds had
taught lessons OF thrift and commented
on the fact that what he called ''state
bonds were not widely held until pa
triotism opened an unexplored field.
"But everyone had money to buy them
with" he added, with smile.

The Inspection in Barre.

Long accompanied the jurors and the
Barre yesterday afternoon and he seemed
to be enjoying the freedom of the open
air and was apparently not bit down
cast. In fact, he was smiling and wink
ing at the various deputies who trailed
about his heels as he walked with Sher-
iff Tracy He stepped along with a
jaunty air and took in everything with
his eyes, even to gazing off into the dis
tance.
The jurors started their walk from the
corner of Main and Elm streets and pro-
ceeded eastward 20 Summer street, down
which they proceeded few steps to
the corner of Keith avenue, where a
few minutes were spent in pointing out
various houses. TTaversing Keith ave-
nue. westward they came opposite the
spot where the body of Mrs. Broadwel
was found and they looked over the
picket fence.
Returning to Main street, they went
northward to the entrance of the Wheel
ock lot from Main street and with an
ever increasing crowd in the wake they
came opposite the spot in the garden
where Harold Jackson found the body.
The jurors did not enter the garden
space but glanced over the fence a short
time, being then escorted eastward along
the path which young Jackson took in
his Sunday morning stroll, to Summer
street, where the direction again turned
northward to Pearl street. The exterior
of the buildings on that street were
viewed, the attorneys all the time max
ing explanations, after which the march
went to the former Broadwell home on
West street, after which the party went
to Main street.
On reaching Main street automobiles
were taken to the residence of Mrs. Isa-
bel Parker, indicted with Long for the
murder of Mrs. Broadwell This resi-
dence is at Ito South Main street. 1t
was late afternoon when the itinerary
was finished and the party returned to
Montpelier.
Two stenographers from Barre are
employed in the trial They are Miss
Hazel NJ. Miles, who is employed by the
respondents counsel, and Ugo Carusi,
employed by the attorneys for the state.
Some of the time during the examination
of jurymen they had = difficult time in
getting the replies because the jurymen
had such weak voices.
