Revenue of- ficefs nave been delegated to every eoun- ty in the country to assist residents in making out their returns, and the services of government experts heretofore offered 10 city residents will be continued

Advocates Health Program in Education

another important matter which should be considered is equality of educational opportunity for the children. The fed eral government proposes to assist the states in this matter, he said. Citizen ship is the basis of public education and the state is primarily responsible for public education.
 Enlarging somewhat on the advan- tages of equality of educa tional op- portunfty pr. Meredith said that in this state there are 1S1 schools with less than ten pupils and 2se with be- tween 10 and 20 pupils. Rural schools are excellent, he said, but small school can never be good school. Provision should be made for the as- ssmbliRg of the children in larger units.
 pr. Meredith pointed out where a sumtner session or all year round school plan would reduce the time re- qHired for schooling from twelve years
 to ten or perhaps eleven years time. The speaker said that there isn't any l one educational programme which can 1 be adapted to all pupils. With refer ehce to vocational education he said | that this plan was primarily origiRat- ed in order that young people may fiji l themselves for employment in gainfu | occupations. Vocational education is
 being maintained at public expense ir many states, he said.
 l Commenting on manual training ana l domestic science, which has been car 1 ried out in the local schools fer sev. 1 eral years past, Dr. Meredith said We welcome the introduction of man 1 ual training and home art in the ele, | mentary and secondary schools. His comment on the compulsor, evening school for children who ente employment before they complete tn. l grammar school course was somewha
 unfaverable. He expressed himself a
 not in favor of the plan to try to edu cate children after hard days work He said he believes that some time il the future centinua tion schools 0 part time schools will be operated il the day time between the hours of
 in the morning and in the afternool
 and on the employers time and tha
 the course will require about fou
 hours a week.
 Dr. Meredith spoke at some lengt
 on the introduction of scientific meth
 ods' and scientific standards in tn public schools. In order to carry ou the modern educational programm | trained teachers are needed and tin

Since the liquor raids started in this city several stories have been going the rounds as to where liquor could be hid- den by persons seeking t6 conceal the contra band. One of these tales is re- lated as follows A certain merchant who dealt in most legitimate necessities of life received an order frem a GUS toner for a barrel "of -four which was promptly delivered.
 The householder knocked of the bar rel head as soon as it arrived at his home and thrust a scoop deep into it's white depths. The scoop descended with it's customary smeethness for a few inches and then met a resisting ob- ject. Foreisp ebjscts in -four are not considered desirable and Mr. Household.

Meredith, state commissioner of education. Dr. Mer- edith, who spoke under the auspices of the town school board, outlined the modern educational programme for elementary and secondary schools and spoke briefly of some of the problems facing us along educational lines to- fday. Dr. Meredith advocated a pro- sranme of health and recreation as part of the educational programme. .Edward J. Graham, superintendent of schools extended welcome to those present in behalf of the town scheol board under whose auspices the lecture was held. Mr. Graham aH- Aeuneed that this was the first of & series of lectures which will be held by the town school board from time 1 to time.
 Dr. Meredith was introduced by Henry A. Tirrell, principal of the Nor wieh Free Academy and member of the state board of education.
