prise every modern feature and at

A department of education, for
the purpose of providing for the
public schools of the state and for
post ons elsewhere in schools of
secondary education, teachers of
the high character demand by mod
ern educational standards, has been
established at the University of
Vermont, Burlington. Students
who have completed the first two
years in any department of the uni
versity may enter the department
of education and when the two
years work which constitutes the
course is completed they will re-
ceive the degree of bachelor of sci
ence in education.
The annual meeting of the state
boardof pharmacywas he'd Jan. at
the State House at Montpelier.
During the day the board was busy
giving examinations to seven candi-
dates for drug clerk licences. At
the business meeting, the board or
ganized for the ensuing year by
rejecting of officers: President, w.
R. Warner of Verg9nnes, to succeed
j. G. Bellrose Of Burlington: secre-
tary, D. F. Davis of Barre, re elee-
ted treasurer, W. L. Gokay of
Bennington, to succeed w. F. Root
of Brattleboro. Mr.. BelIrose and
Mr.. Root are the remaining men,
bers of the board. In the annual
report of Secretary Davis, he said
that the per cent, of illegal drug
stores in Vermont was remarkably
small, that the present pharmacy
law was working we'll, both in pro-
tecting the public and the profess
sion, and that it would work even
better in time, as the many un-
skilled pharmacists who received
certificates at the time the phar-
macy law was enacted will be
dropped.
Plans for restoring the de-
stroyed portions of the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Waterbury,
which was recently visited by fire
will be held up, temporarily, at least
by the state law which stipulates
that Notwithstanding the fact that
the buildings were insured fully, no
money can be expended except by
special appropriation by the legisla-
ture. Of course the legislature will
not meet again until fall, so that
other means will have to be taken
in order to get things under head
way in time to put the buildings in
their former condition. Governor
G. H. Prouty was in Waterbury
recently comforting with DR.. Don
d. Grout, superintendent of the
hospital and said that it was prob
able that the expense involved in
the asylum would be de-
frayed in the same way that the
deficit in the judicial department |
was met some time ago, when the |
matter of $4,000 was secured |
through the good offices of Lieut.. |
Gov. John A. Mead of Rutland. |
Funds for the hospital will probably |
be furnished by the same methods
and it is not expected that any diff
fculty will be experiencedin borrow !
ing the money, as it is merely tech
nicality that makes it impossible to
draw upon : he insurance money at
the present time. If the money is
borrowed, and that it will be, goes
without saying, funds for tn" reim-
bursement of the furnishers, will be
Forthcoming at the next session of
the legislature.
