I Discourse del Canciller Bismark. en-
el Reichstag, el II de febrero de 1887.
"Nadie puede negar la posibilidad
de que podrfamos ser vencidos en- una
nueva guerra entire Francia Y Alema-
mia. Hasta ahora. tinicamente los civil
les sc niegan reconocer esta posibi-
lidad. Los mislnos generates Y los mis-
mos oficiales que hicieroll laguerra en-
Francia bajo las 0rdenes de Su Majes-
tad son de parecer contrario. ST estas
gentes mtrepidas Y experinleltadas de-
claran que para afr0ntar la pr0xifna
guerra con Francia es lnenester refar-
zarnOs continuamente me parece que
hay que ser de un valor nuy lastimoso
Y vanidad del miles glorioasas para
decir:
..Solnos bastantes fuertes.'
Ustedes estiman en- inenos de 10 que
vale la potencia de la Francia.I
Francia es un grande, ull poderosO
pals, tan poderoso como el n1estro.
Francia ticne tina poblacion guerrero
Y valiente. ha posefdo siempre habiles
jefes de ejercitOs. Es casualidad 81 ellos
han sucumbido bajo nuestras armas.
Ustedes Sc engafian respecto a los fran
ceses de la manera mas completa. Seria
presunci6n decir que Francia esta ma
turalmente destinada ser vencida 81
Sc midiese sola con nosotros."

new teachers each year, in most part. The
present year we have almost y young
women in the high school training classes,
IT practically enough to supply the vast
age, if all enter the rural schools, as
nearly all will do.
"One of the requirements of the act
of 1915 was the formation of a uniform
course of study for the public schools.
As early as possible an outline was pre-
pared and has been in use since. Based
on the experience derived, a definite
course is now nearing completion. 1t
represents a vast amount of technical
work, in which the board, of course, has
had no direct part. .
Estate aid for transportation of pupils
who live at remote distances from the
schools they attend was not original with
the act of 1915, but found an important
place in it. The equalization of school
facilities naturally carried with it the
effort to give pupils equal opportunities
to reach their schools. Until modified
in 1919. towns were required to convey
all pupils more han a mile and q half
from school and secured rebates from the
state t~otaling well up toward 100000
annually.
The mandatory wording of this pro-
vision led to many abuses, and at the last
session a power of discretion was vested
in the directors, with right of appeal to
the commissioner. An improved condi-
ton has resulted. Transportation of pu-
pills, especially during a Vermont winter,
presents difficult problems in practical OPP
Grafton. But its assistance and general
benefit will not be questioned.
There is some misrepresentation over
the expenditure for transportation. In
certain quarters il is assumed that it rep
resents sums paid IL for conveying pu-
pills to central schools when schools
hitherto existing have been given up.
Such is not the case except to a very
limited degree. The bulk of the outlay
for transportation is for conveying pupils
the mile and a half or more that they
live from the schools they regularly at
tend. The local school directors deter
mine when schools shall be discontinued,
consolidated or reopened, and the state
school authorities have no direct part in
it.
THE same law recognized for the first
time the junior and the junior-senior
high school. The sorcalled s~ix-and-six
plan has thoroughly justified itself. I'm
der the encouragement given by this act
many Junior high schools have been es-
