One of the great drawbacks to Ver-
mont is the isolation of the majority of
her communities from the world out
side. In this day people will not rest
content cut off from easy communica-
ton with the centers of thought and
action. They are eager to know what
is going on and to take advantage oft.
The time of the stage coach has depart
ed and quicker methods OF reaching the
world outside are demanded. The
frequent mails. the telegraph and the
telephone supply this need to the sec
tons they reach, but many are yet re-
moved from them. Laborious trans
portation is still the worst obstacle to
the thorough development Of our state.
1t is a long way to market and back
again for many Of our farmers. Every
cent and dollar expended in making
this double journey is a penalty put
upon them for their remoteness. 1t de-
preeiates the fruit of their labor and
the value OF their property by just so
much. Their highways are improving,
but team transportation is still too slow
and irksome for those who have to de-
pend chiefly upon it. So it has come
about that, unless there are special
reasons to the contrary, those eommu-
mites that are separated from the
steam or electric railways by more
than a few miles are falling back year
by year. The social advantages and
the enjoyment OF life to be found in
such localities do not by any means
compensate for the disadvantages of
being so far out of the world. The
strongest ray OF hope for relief is in the
extension OF the electric railways. No
doubt there are many rich valleys that
can be opened up by these roads which
NAV connect at convenient points with
the main arteries, the steam lines.
Several such roads are now in success
full operation. Others are building and
still others projected. OF course it is
best to 90 slow in this development and
not to undertake such projects until
the situation has been carefully studied,
