In dealing with educational prob
lens even in Vermont we are now, in
certain sections, facing the problem of
the education of children of for
eign parentage. We are forcing text
book doctrine upon them, and it is
much more difficult than is educating
the children of New England parent
age whose homes are those of culture,
where well spoken English is part of
every day hearing, where books ofthe
best sort are found, and almost, with
out the public schools, they would
learn to read and become acquainted
with good literature. In attempting
to modify for both classes we reach
neither, and principals and superin-
tendents constantly complain of the
difficulties of the problem. They are
not yet ready for our system of educa-
ton and we have by no means reached
the point where we adapt it to theii
needs, neither the teachers or officials.
There is in consequence, a vast
amount of misdirected effort with re
suits yet to be seen, but surely an6
slowly evolving as an outcome of the
present system. This is worth the
study of Vermonters that we may see
among us good and intelligent citi
zens worthy the name and residence
of our State. Let us not be respon
sible for the inculcation of false idea
and our educational leaders owe i
to themselves to give the subject the
attention it deserves.
