Teachers College in Vermont.

Both Middlebury college and the uni
versity of Vermont want to establish
departments for the especial training
o. teachers. Middlebury wants state
aid to the extent of $4,000 per year,
and the U. V. H., well we shall learn
later what that institution wants. 1t
seems to us that both of these colleges
win do well to leave the training of
teachers to state institution such as
Is bound to be established sooner or
later and we hope by the present legis
lature, and continue to devote their
time, energy and money to the educa
ton of the young. The state ought to
have one normal school whose standard
Vermonters will be proud of, and it
ought not to be asked to distribute the
funds available for normal training
among academic institutions. To such
institutions the legislature should say:
''You are at liberty to establish what
departments you choose but do not look
to US to share the expense. We are
through with dissipating the states
money. HenoefeTth we shall devote
cur time and money to the upbuilding
Of a central normal school which shall

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Women Congratulated.

The women Of Morrisyille are to be
accredited with having made con
gatnlatory beginning for securing a
hospital fund in their "red tag enter
prise on Tuesday. The movement fol-
lowed up, as it undoubtedly will be,
ought to find friends whose means per-
nit of help sufficiently liberal to put
such an institution on basis to a
proper extent Independent. There are
numerous towns which have found hos.
pitfalls burdensome because of a lack Of
supporting funds or a lack of local pa
tronsge that FIRST expectation uresum-
ed TO acquire building and equip
ment is not enough, A permanent
fund as large as can be secured is a
very much needed essential. It follows
that there are few ways, if any, in
which public bequest can do more
good than when given to provide for
the care of the sick and needy; and, it
follows, also, that persons interested in
Morrisville's welfare, when making fl
nal or earlier disposition Of their prop
erty, may seriously ponder upon the
great good sure to come Of any bequest
or personal gift they make for the sup
port of local hospital. Morrisville

GoMPERs NOT INVITED.

There is bound to be a hue and cry
over the alleged slight Of President
Roosevelt to Samuel Gompers in NOT
inviting him to attend the gathering Oh
labor men in the White House. At first
sight, it does appear to be decided
snub to the president of the American
Federation Of Labor. Then, again, since
the gathering is reputed to be sort Of
political iollifcation pow.wow Of the
winning party, there is ground for the
position that Samuel Gompers, baing
on the opposite side, would not natur.
ally be invited even though be is at
the head of the strongest labor fedora
ton in the country. There is ques-
tion furthermore whether Gompers would
accept such an invitation, inasmuch as
he would be out of place in an assem-
blage which was celebrating, indirectly,
his defeat. 1t would be delicate posi-
ton to drag Gompers into. As we un-
derstand the purpose Of President Roose-
velt's banquet, it is to felieitate the
labor union opponents OF President Com
pers, and it would be like bidding Presi-
dent Gompers to his own funeral to ask
him to come. Indeed, looking at the
situation from that standpoint, it would
be direct insult to the labor leader to
extend an invitation. A calm considera-
ton of the matter, therefore, reaches
the conclusion that it was not really an
insult to Gompers or to those other labor
leaders who were not hidden, inasmuch
as the proposed banquet is to be parti-
san affair only.
