THE FRANCo.PoL1sH ALLIANCE.

The new alliance between France and
Poland, taken in conjunction with 9th
er agreements entered into by France,
indicates that while France may not
he feathering her nest she is very ac-
tive in protecting that nest against
invasion. But at the same time France
is piling up an obligation which may
prove rather irksome under some con-
ditions. Suppose, fore instance, that
Belgium should be attached and that
Poland might also become the object
of invasion by some other foe. In
that case, France would have to go to
war with two enemies at the same time
and sustain all the burdens incident
thereto. Of course, it is scarcely prob
able that France would be confronted
with such state of affairs; but there
is at least the possibility that France
would be overwhelmed with demands
for assistance from various countries
with which she had entered into pact
for cooperation in case of aggression.
A defensive alliance with too many
countries might easily be an embar-
rassment of promises, with France dis
traeted to make coed those promises.
On the other hand, France gets the
benefit of agreements in case she her
self is attacked. But there is no one
way working of such agreements.

johnson and Castleton will make
their peace with the board and get
what they can, a situation more or less
indicated in these columns from the
time that it became evident that Mr.,

The result falls particularly hard on
Castleton and the sincere and selfssc
rifcing committee, devoted as it is to
the interests Of the school and the com
munity, and as The Herald believes, to
the cause of education generally. The
community and the committee suffer
alike from damaging association and
bad leadership.
The Herald, for its part, believes the
state board needs new policy and
new angle on the problems Of the rural
school The overwhelming and consist

towns are not satisfied with the way
