The fury of the flames seems to have
put the finishing touches to the retro
grade movement of little Vermont
community when the greater portion OF
the village Of Rockingham was wiped
out on Tuesday morning OF last week.
There are great many other like com
munities in New England which are
fading. slowly fading, into inslgniti-
canoe. TO end finally in utter extinction
in so far as distinct individuality is
concerned. There probably is not
enough of the recnperative powers re-
naming in little Rockingham to cause
the village, phoenix-like, to arise from
its ruins. Thus the end is only has
tened.
Thereby also acceleration was given
to movement which is changing the
aspect of New England, turning the
once populous sections into a wilder
ness and Transforming the waste places
into hives OF industry. Once upon a
time. the villageof Rockingham was a
hustling, flourishing village, the head
of the affairs of the town and appar-
entity destined TO so continue. Then
the town officers were removed to the
village of Bellows Falls at more adj
vantageous point, and the life blood
was sucked from Rockingham village.
Since that occurred, Rockingham has
dwindled to a cluster of about score
of buildings; and nowthe fiery element
has clapped the climax of the downfall
by wipng out a majority of the build
ings. including the business places. 1t

ton in Vermont or any other state,
ought TO be ashamed of what they are
giving us for the money thrown away
on them. Professor Stone blames the
result on the price paid teachers. Well
people usually get what they are worth
and young man or woman who has
got what they know in Vermont schools
is only fit, parrot like, TO repeat the
humdrum, obsolete text book ritual OF
Vermont school knowledge and as soon
as they can manage to learn to be a
good cook, housekeeper, trained nurse,
stenographer and typewriter or any
useful calling that requires knowledge,
they drop the cheap calling of teaching
scholars, something that is seldom of
any practical use TO them in after life.
But Vermont is fast drifting into the
hands of crowd of place seekers and
our laws are continually being so fixed

that manual training should be taught
in all our schools. In this we agree
with him, and we trust that the time is
not far distant when this now much
