ST. ALBANS SCHOOLS
NEED MORE SUPPORT
Special Committee Recommends In
creased Tax Levy in Order to
Raise Salaries of Teachers,
Etc

st. Adams. April 6.--At the reg
ular meeting of the city council, held
last evening, the committee appoint
ed nearly a year ago to make a sur.
yey of the city schools, presented its
report. The committee, which was com
Cushing and DR.. Alan Davidson, was
appointed, as the result of special
city meeting held May 6 last. 1t re-
ported that it had secured the services
of DR.. NJ. Is. Hillegas of Montpelier,
state commissioner Of education, to
make a survey of the schools, and ap-
pended his report on his findings.
As a result Of she report of DR.. lille
gas and personal investigation on the
part of the committee, it was recon-
mended by the committee that the
mayor call a special meeting Of the
citizens of st. Adams TO ascertain
whether or not the city would vote a
special tax of not less than 80 cents
on the dollar of the grand list for
school purposes. At the meeting last
night the council voted to call spe-
cial meeting, in accordance with the
recommendation Of the committee, to
ascertain on recommendation of Super
intendent of Schools G.. S. Wright,
whether or not q special tax of not less
than IS cents on dollar should be
voted for school purposes.
The report Of DIR. Hillegas showed
that he had made an investigation Of
the comparative expenditures for
school purposes In this city and IL
other places within the state, in which
one hundred or more students were en-
rolled in the high schools, 81, Johns
bury not being included as it pays the
tuition Of its high school students in
the academy DR.. Hillegas gave assur-
ance that few places in Vermont or
elsewhere were able 10 secure as great
efficiency as he found in the public
school system of ST. Adams. The sat
isfactory standing was indicated by the
fact that since 1914 there had been 81
graduates Of the st. Adams high school
who had entered colleges and universe
ties, reports submitted by the institu-
tions in which they were enrolled in
dicating that in only two instances
were there unsatisfactory standings.
Regarding possible improvement II
was reported by Commissioner Hille-
gas that the schools were not an at
tractive place for those who did not
intend to send their children to col
lege or prepare them for commercial
work. The schools do not offer in
struction in music or in art, nor in do
nestle science, although there is excel
lent equipment for that course. No
vocational instruction is given. He rec
commended that the city maintain the
present desirable elementary system,
saying that few places in the country
did as efficient work as was found in
the elementary grades in st. Adams.
To maintain the present efficiency
would require an increase in expendi-
lures OF an average of $3.50 TO $500 per
teacher Commissioner Hillegas also
recommended that the city make il

STOMACH TROUBLE
AND DIZZY SPELLS

Indications of stomach trouble are
often mistaken for other disorders and
cause unnecessary alarm.
Palpitation of the heart does not
imply that the vital organ is affected.
| Pain in the back does not necessari-
ly mean kidney trouble.
Headache does not often indicate
that there is anything wrong with the
head.
All of these symptoms may be
caused by stomach trouble, and when
this is righted the symptoms will dis
appear.
If the sufferer from any form of
stomach trouble is pale and the blood
is thin, the first step toward restoring
/ the activity of the stomach is to i'm
prove the condition of the blood. A
supply of rich, well -oxidized blood is
necessary to good digestion. Build up
the blood by the treatment which Mrs.
Ellen Harnden, of No. 6 Beach street,
Fitchburg, Mass, recommends, and see
how quickly the appetite is restored
and the pains of Indigestion disappear.
my blood was so thin and weak"
relates Mrs. Harnden, that every part
of my body seemed TO be affected. 1t
was my stomach, however, which gave
me most trouble and pain. | didn't
know what it was to eat hearty meal
without paying for it few hours
later with cramps and sharp, shooting
pains. The indigestion pains kept me
awake at night, and | was tired dur

began taking them. There was slight
improvement in few days, and as
continued taking the pills my strength

way to prevent n recurrence of the
