cne enlisted gunnors of the hattieship

members Of the torpedo crew OF the
submarine R-l7 will participate in the
division of the Marjorie sterrett battle
ship fund i income. amounting to
approximately $3.50. the naval bureau
of gunnery announced to-day.
The cash prizes to these naval gum
nsrs who excelled in gunnery prac-
tice during the last year is made pos
ssble by the patriotic act Of this little

children to the sum of S22, 2,lTS.57
The SUM was placed in trust with
the Equitable Trust Company of New
York, which each year distributes to
the crack gunners of the American

basis of nine-hfteenths 10 the best
turret crew Of any battleship; two
ffteenths to the broadside gunners Of

gunboat, and the remaining four
fifteenths to the best torpedo crew of
the submarine class.
The crews of the Kansas, Buffalo
and ks wen the competition for the
fiscal year 1851 The following fiscal
year the fund was not distributed be-
cause the war prevented the fleet COM

was made to the submarine class be-
cause Of no competition. The winners
crews of the Oklahoma, Badger and

Vermont and Hard Coal.
(St. Adams Messenger


The state fuel administration an

course, did not have their origin in Yer
mont. They came out of Washington
and were to the effect that Vermont
had made uD its mind 1t could get no
anthracite and would center its atten-
ton on bituminous. If people thought
this was the official attitude. what won

such an idea, was it strange that Yer

VermOnt's fuel officials? Not in the
slightest.
But now Vermont is not satisfied.
That Is we'll Senator Moses of New
Hampshire says that New England-all
the states-will get some hard coal.
Because of our location and severe eli

in using soft coal and our lack of equip

tlal treatment is going to be accorded
us. Which is sensible. And which
ought to be insisted upon, and not left
to chance.
The Vermont fuel administration
saws that it is not known on what basis

states, but it Is thought the matter will
take care of itself in the requests sent
to Washington Perhaps it viii work

will be making every effort to get coal.
If we leave it to take care of itself
we will. in all probability. be left to

That's what the outcome is most apt

COLLEGE COMMERCE. COURSES.


new educational trend is shown in
many of the current college bulletins.
1t is the increasing number of courses
in domestic and foreign commerce.
Commerce is as old as civilization, for
it has always been essential to the de
.velopment and continued progress of
civilization. Yet it is only in recent
years that educators have recognized the
value of a formal study of commerce in
the schools. The variety of opportuni
ties for such study now is both inter-
esting and hopeful.
Some colleges provide for exchange
students in these particular courses, so
that young men or women from one
country may investigate business condi-
tons and business methods in another
land at first hand.
Keen commercial competition among
nations requires this special study and
preparation of the interested youth of
any progressive land. There is an added
factor, however, which enlarges the pos
sibilities for good of this educational in
novation. a closer study of peoples
business methods involves a closer study
of its thought and daily life, with con-
sequent better understanding of its aims
and purposes and of its essential human
likeness to other peoples. The college
courses in foreign trade may prove to be
as important a factor in furthering
world peace as any yet dreamed of.

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER II, 1872:
THE LEAGUE OPENING.

The flags of 30 nations are flying on
the shores of Lake Leman," writes an
American correspondent, describing the
opening of the third assembly of the
league of nations at Geneva.
The American flag, it may be assumed,
is not one of those. 30. America has no
official representation there. Yet Amer
lea is represented. Strange as it may
seem. there were present at the opening
session a larger number of American
citizens than citizens of any other ma
ton. Seats We're assigned to as Ameri-
cans, nearly all of them well known.
And tickets were not distributed freely,
either Seating space is limited, and an
applicant had to show good reason why
he deserved admittance. From all of
which two facts are evident:
First the league. however it may lack
effectiveness, is not dead. The machin-
cry is set up and working even though
it is not grinding such a grist of world
peace and happiness as enthusiasts ex-
pected. The nations belonging to it.
and that is a big majority of the nations
in the world. show no disposition to let
it die. Rather they are now busy with
plans to make it more effective and
make its membership universal.
Also, American interest in the league
is not dead American organizations of
many kinds, most of them having no
connection with American politics, are
keenly watching the leagues develop
ment, and trying to make it possible
for this country to enter it in due time.
