The Brattleboro Reformer comes to the
defense of the present tax law in these
words: I'm fact the inventory law is the
only alternative to the method advocated
by some economists Of placing all taxes
on real estate. Some argument can be
made for the latter method, but the prac-
teal objections to it are OF tremendous
force, and as long as the attempt is made
at all to tax personal property the only
way of making it anywhere near honest
and equitable is by the inventory law.
The abslmdity of the statement about its
"actually reducing taxable property is
shown by the great increase in the grand
list since it has been in operation. 1t is
unfortunately true that it has accelerated
the movement of capital out of the
State; but the men who will skin theiI
own community of money for the sake
of lodging taxes are Lot the ones the law
should seek to especially oblige. Judge
Veazey covered this aspect Of the case
when he said to the bennington county
grand jury that we had better have a
community of paupers than of tax
dodgers"

Many of our readers remember the
opening chapters Of Thompsons Green
Mountain Girls, that story of early strug-
giles between the people of the New
Hampshire Grants, and the workers.
as the inhabitants of the Province of
New York were called, including the
"NIinions of King George" the scenes of
which open at Westminster and close at
Bennington battle. Probably no books
of fiction having a basis of historic fact,
were ever more fascinating or more
widely read than the Thompson series,
of which the title above is one of several.
In another column we copy from the
PhuHir an historical account, document
airy as well as otherwise, of the facts
upon which the aforesaid opening chap
ter" is based. Our readers can compare
them at their leisure, but we suggest
that perusal of the first portion of "rhe
Green Mountain Girls" will give zcst to
the article which we print on our first
page today.

One Way to Room Vermont,

New England complains that her farms
are being deserted, and that the popula-
ton of her agricultural districts is
dwindling. So serious has the situation
become that more than one State has in
stituted measures to promote immigra-
ton and thus fill up the waste places,
Vermont even sending across the Allan
tic and bringing people all the way from
Sweden. Yet at the same time the lead
ing journals of New England contain
flaming advertisements of land com
panies, organized with New England cap
ital and Differed by New England mag
mates, which urge New England people
to abandon their present homes and set
tie in the South. An Ex-Governor OF
Vermont is president of one of these
companies, and another Ex-Governor is
prominent in another such company. In
this way one may sometimes read in one
column of newspaper an article describ-
ing some movement to resettle deserted
farms in a New England State, and in
another column of the same issue find an
advertisement which hold out the strong
est inducements for the desertiOn of
farms that are still cultivated.-NeC
York Erening Post.

FACULTY VS.. TRUSTEES.

The recent change in the management
of Columbia College gives occasion to
the New York Nation to offer some re-
marks on the relative positions of faculty
and trustees in college and university
management. They are equally applica,
BILE to the management of an institution
| like the Bennington Graded School. II
saws that the change is "a full recOgni-
ton of the fundamental principle of uni
versity education which has hitherto had
so little cOuntenance in American col
leges, namely, that the teaching body,
and not the property or the managers OF
the property simply are the university
that you may have millions of endOw.
ment and acres of buildings, but if the
teaching body are not in control of the
things to be taught and the manner OF
teaching them, you have no university"
"AIr. Low is the first president
who has entered on his functions un-
trammelled and with adequate ideas of
the true relations of the property, and
the buildings and libraries, and labora-
tories to the teaching body, They are
the university. They would he the uni
versity if the buildings were burnt down
and they were giving their instruction in
tents in a vacant lot "NO high
standard of scholarship can ever be main
tanned, and no such appreciation of
knowledge as will lead young men to
scorn delights and live laborious days in
search of it, can be maintained or cher
ished in any institution in which the pro-
fessor's Office is not magnified and his
Judgment exalted to the utmost"
This is the true theory of the manage
ment OF all educational institutions. The
trustees should look after the property
and should secure acompetent head of the
faculty, and then leave him and his CO.
laborers in education to train the pupils
in their charge as they see fit. When
they fail, the head should be held respon-
