WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
The Proposal for II New s.ntc Normal
school and It's Various Aspects.


tFrom the Brattleboro PhoenixD
1t Is very eviden' that our present Leg
islature IS going to nnd the question Of
appropriations its most difficult one to
deal with Bills which have already been
introduced for q great variety of pur-
poses call for sums of money the ag-
gregate of which Is far beyond the re-
sources of the state. The only wise nnd
Just solution WIFI 10 in taking a broad
view Of the State welfare and its most
pressing needs and In making special
appropriations only for those purposes
which affect Our large and permanent
interests. Foremost among these large
interests is that of education No other
interest aside from that Of supplying
IL" actual physical needs of daily lfe.
affects all our people SO intimately. Tho
Legislature II 1906 was notable and even
historic, for the appreciation which il
showed II tho needs Of the state I'm this
respect. and for the measures which I.
enacted for meeting these needs And
tho results have abundauty justified
| the wisdom and usefulness Of these en-
| actments.
Those who have given this subject the
most careful study believe that orr
greatest need aow for further deVelop-
nent OF our educational system Is pro-
vision for the proper and adequate train
/ ing of teachers. Facts carefully gather
ed show. indeed. that in respect to such
| training Vermont is not only sadly be-
! hind the other New England states hut
that she is behind majority Of the
States Of the Union. our normal schools
