Expect Effort to Cut Cost Of Supervis-

Montpelier, Dec 12.--One of the
active efforts Of the next session or
the legislature will be reduction OF
expenditure and, possibly, the aboli-
ton of direct tax. One Of the tar
gets will be the department Of educa-
ton. 1t Is probable that an attempt
will be made to consolidate certain
supervision districts and to abolish
some cf the supervisors. This may
not result in a large saving but II Is
likely to be po.Icy that will com1
mand large support. The standing
of Vermont in educational matters is
indicated by figures compiled recent

education in the United States is
$500 and for Vermont it is s6.7l. This
