A TEACHERS DEPARTMENT AT
THE UNIVERSITY.

The trustees Of the University of
formulating the proposition to estab-
lish at that institution a department
for the training Of teachers. They
have desired not only to bring the
schools and teachers into closer and
more sympathetic relationship to the
State university. but also and partic-
ularly to train teachers in broad
way to meet the rapidly changing con-
ditions of modern education. Tho
three educational conferences held at
the university since 1906 and the sum-
mcr school for teachers held last July
have been looked upon az preparing
the way to the fuller development and
extension now about to be consum-
mated.
Hitherto no funds have been avail
abs wherewith to inaugurate this
line Of teaching. Every penny OF the
income Of the university. and more.
has been employed in the conduct OF
the departments already established.
Fortunately. however, recent nat
ional enactment has made possible the
inception OF this new and important
work. This measure known a. the
Nelson amendment" specially charges
caoh state college benefitting thereby.

tablished under the college land grant.

A Cnoss-sTATE RAILROAD.

Ono Of tho developments Of the past
week in connection with the visit of
e. II. Hartman and other railroad
men to Vermont Is a revival of the
CROSS State railway project. There has
been some talk OF a railroad between
Rutland and Woodstock to connect
with tho Woodstock railroad. which
would afford Q short cut between the
east ana west sides OF the State.
While suca a Tine would posses the
merit OF shortness, It would unaues-
tionably offer engineering difficulties
which would be hard to overcome.
Tho really practica, proposition is
the construction Of line between
Rutland and Montpelier or some other
convenient point on tho Central Yer
mont to be operated by the Della
ware g. Hudson company Such a
line would require little additional
equipment az tho Delaware & Hud-
son trains would simply run a few
miles further than at present. This
line connecting with tho Montpelier
q Wells River road would afford g.
short route between Saratoga and
the White Mountains. and its
tourist travel in the summer
would unouest!onably be considerable.
Such a line would also Aecure its
share Of the granite ehipmenta and.
being practically the only line IN the
State running from the southwest TO
the northeast, II would naturally OBJ
tain considerable freight traffic, that
Is now necessarily carried over cir
cuitous routes.
Burlington has no direct interest in
a limo OF this character. indeed a mar
rowly selfish interest might make our
peopla inclined to oppose such a diver.
pion OF traffic through this city. In the
long run. however. tho building up OF
. State helps all the interests that go
to make It up. ana It will be q wise
course for all sections Of the State 70
do whatever 10 necessary to encourage
and promote the cross-Statc railroad
project.

TWO PHASES or TIE BOVINE
TUBERCULOSIS CASE.

When the crusade against bovine
tuberculosis was waged 10 vigorously
under tho supervision Of Hon. c. J.
Boil as cattle commissioner n great hue
and cry was raised that cows not dis
eased wcrc being sacrificed on tho
altar Of fad. Since the law Was a.
mcnded In 1905 by the Legislature
making Il possible for the owner o.
the animal 20 receive sevcnty-t,ve
per cent Of the appraised valuation
not to exceed $50. together with the
hide which would ada four or five DOL
laru on the average to the amount rea-
llEed. the public has heard very little
complaint from owners Of herds.
on tho other hama we now hear that
the state treasury is being MIXED in
not few instances by owners OF what
tho beef men call fall Gamers" who
can get rid OF tho same to better adj
vantage under the operations OF the
present law than In any other way. 1t
is even charged that In some Instances
men have received more for diseased
herds than healthy cattle Of similar
degree Of fairness or leanness would
bring in market. In this connection
the Montpelier Journal says:
The cattle commissioner recommends
In his annual report that the state
should not pay so large n percentage
Of the appraised value of cattle killed
that are found to be Fuffering from
tuberculosis In view of the fact that
In about eight months the state has
paid out nearly $4,000 this recon-
mendation Is not all ill-becoming Tho
commissioner also favors vesting great
er power in the hands of the commits
s!oner so that he can compel tests Of
herda This is Also q mighty good sus
gestion for at the present time the
State Is spending this large sum of
money testing herds when application
therefor is made while many herds
Just rs likely to DO infected as they
are allowed to go unmolested spread
ing the disease ana defeating tho very
ends Of the law, or purpose of the law.
The suggestion Of tagging the cattle
tested for purpose OF record and
Identification IS also a good one. The
State has been paying out too much
money for what Is has received and
has been paying on tho appraised VAL

law will sooner DO brought about.
When a farmer purchased COW no
would then require certificate thet
the animal has received tho proper
test and then the law would begin to
be worth something.
The Taxpayers OF tho State have u
right 10 protest against tho manner In
which the State treaIury has been
mulcted under tho law relating to bo-
vine tuberculosis. and the present Lee
gislature will be remiss in Its duty. n
II fails to carry out the recommenda-
lions made In Governor Proctor's re-
firing message and in the report OF
State Cattle Commissioner Wilson that
