In various sections of the state,
towns are uniting for the purpose of
securing expert school supervision
as provided in the law relating to
this subject passed by the last legis-
lature. The towns which have done
or are doing this are showing a due
appreciation Of the advantages and
benefits which are sure to result
flom their prompt action.
In some sections, however, there
has not been manifest that spirit of
progress which the people have a
right to expect and demand should
be manifested by their directors and
school officers in inaugurating this
great and valuable system oflexpert
supervision. This legislation is not
hasty or experimental, but is the
product of the best and most ad-
vanced ideas in educational work.
It is under similar system that the
schools of Massachusetts have been
raised to the high standard of eff
cheney which they proudly hold.
The rural schools of Vermont,
which have struggled along under
adverse conditions and increasingly
perplexing problems, now have the
the opportunity through state aid
and cooperative effort, of entering
upon new era of progress and do
ing educational work for the coming
generation such has been impossible
under the conditions that have pre-
vailed.

towns of Franklin county take a
leading part in establishing expert
supervision as part of the, educa-
tional system of the state, -Enos.

Hon. Frank l.. Fish, Vermont s
national bank examiner, came in for
a little criticism at recent meeting
of the Vermont and New Hamp-
shire Bankers Association. Still it
was favorable criticism so far as
banking interest in this state is con-
cerned. All the fault they could
find with Mr.. Fish was that his ex-
animation was too rigid, which to
our mind is one of the best compli-
ments that can be given to the Yer

them is twin or triplet. "I guess accord

over a million dollars now, If hadn't
any children" remarked Harris, when the

bring up child nowadays, and I have
brought all mine up and educated them,
too. Let's see, twenty-three at 100000
apiece that would make somewhere
around 100000, wouldn't it? But guess
the kids are worth it." Harris is an
Englishman and a miner He was also In
