VERMONT'S UNIVERSITY AND COLI
I.E(,ES.

People who are surprised at the
marked advance IN higher education
in all parts Of the West are discover
inG that one secret of this progress is
while having various colleges within
Its boundaries. has adopted the policy
of having It's educational system
crowned by State university. In
this way some of the strongest educa-
tional institutions In the whole coun-
try have been developed during the
past few decades and the work some
OF these universities are doing is note
worthy for its breadth and thorough
ness rs well ss for It's originality and
helpfulncss.
The fact that President Buckham of
the University of Vermont would have
Vermont carry out the idea OF the
founders of our government and at the
same time adopt the policy which has
been found so successful In many of
the States. has moved some Of the
newspapers which do not fully realize
the situation here and elsewhere to
criticise the proposition, but the st.
Adams Messenger in an able editorial
takes the other side of the question in
a way that is as convincing as II is
conclusive. The Messenger says:
TT Is natural enough for the North
field News to pooh-pooh the recent
public suggestion of President Buck
ham of the University OF Vermont to
the effect that the state does not re-
quire three separate colleges and tina,
it's higher educational forces would be
better organized and more effective

basis. II there were only one. The

INSPECTION OF NURSERY STOCK.

The annual fall inspection of nursery
stock has been begun by the state in
spector, Professor Cummings, who is
now examining the nurseries in this
State. According 10 the law of the
State now In operation each nursery
man must have his nursery inspected
each year and must secure q cert!fi-
cate before he is allowed to ship stock
The scope of the law has been extend
ed so that it includes not merely fruit
plants but also ornamentals as we'll
All foreign grown plants of any kind
are subject to rigid inspection to pre-
vent the introduction of serious insect
pests.
Inspector Cummings stated yester-
day that the inspection work means
a slight expense to importers and
nursery men, but that 1t Is really
necessary as a means of self protection
and should be looked upon as a neces-
sary measure. The citizens of Yer
mont DO not wish to be troubled with
the brown tail moth nor do they wish
to see our trees and shrub berry infested
with the gypsy moth. The only way
to secure complete freedom from these
pests Is to solicit a careful exnmna
ton Of oil stock which may bring
these pests to our homes" An exam
ination of bulbs from Holland for Mr..
Van Pa.ten was made Monday and
they were found FREQ from injurious
insects.
Manifcstly. tho whole object OF the
law Is to protect not merely nursery
men and florists but tho public as we'll
and our people should heartily coop
erate to this end. Residents Of Burlng-
ton and vicinity who have extensive
grounds with considerable shrubbery
planted thereon will do well to have
their plants and grounds inspected
As single inattention may have dis
astrous results, 1t is hoped that every
caution will be exercised to prevent
the Introduction of serious insect
pests.

buildings are located In central New
York. hundreds of miles distant. and
.lsc same policy IL pursued by various
other institutions.
IT Is n waste of resources ms well as
of time to have several institutions
irving to do the same kind of work
that the ground is hardly covered.
when by putting them under one nd
ministration, the work might be so
divided and concentrated as to get the
highest and best possible results from
tho money and effort expended.
The same idea is growing In connec-
ton with the maintenance Of three
normal schools at the expense of the
State simply because local sentiment
demands the continuance Of each of
the three normal schools among which
the state Is now dividing the money
which should be devoted to the up
building Of great central school for
the training Of teachers.
Sooner or later the people of Yer
mont will become broad enough 10
look at these great questions from tho
standpoint of the commonwealth and
of the people as n whole, and then and
not till then will the Green Mountain
State enjoy that progress In education
and general development which should
be ours.

BRIGHT FUTURE FOR VERMONT.

In speaking of the census showing
made by Vermont the Springfield Re-
publican shows that our growth In
population has been confined to the
cities and larger villages. 1t says that
sistent tendency to decline in popula-
ton. and this curiously enough COM
prises perhaps the finest agricultural
region OF the state, stretching away
ocs cN"- the comparatively level
country eastward from the lower end
of Lake Champlain. No less than 10
of It's as towns show losses Of popula-

Outside VIEWS OF WEIR NONT'S
CENSUS.

The census OF state is to he re-
garded from two points Of view. local
and general. So far as the people Of
our own state are concerned, the emu
merations chief Importance will APP
pear in the manner in which 1t spurs
different communities on to greater
cndeavor and promotes the general de-
vClopment Of the commonwealth.
Tho chief Importance of the census
tc us. regarded from an outside point
Of view. is the index which 1t furnishes
our neighbors concerning our growth
and progress. Tho public in general
is inclined to regard mere number as
n measure of a commun!tys develop
ment without stopping to consider the
different factors which enter into n
states growth numerically. The care
less observer might conclude that lack
of marked increase in population is a
o, decay.
Vermont will suffer to a greater or
less extent from comparisons with
New York just the other side Of Lake
Champlain. despite the fact that our
rural communities are unQuestionably
enjoying greater prosperity per capita
than similar communities in the EN-
pire state. New York has numerous
cities of considerable size and the
growth of these will swell New Yorks
total of population, whereas Vermont
has no large cities and few small ones.
We believe, however. that when
the census Of all the states is made
public It will be found that Vermont
ms rural State has kept pace with
States like Iowa and some Of the other
States we are accustomed 20 regard as
great from mere size. In other words
we believe the tide Is turning. and
that the next ten years will tell a far
different story for the Green Noun
tain state as compared with various
plIer nInoNWeuIlHS 1artner w est
that have until now been growing in
no small degree at our expense.
1t Is gratifying to note. however. that
the press outside reflects grow
ing appreciation Of the conditions pre-
vailng in this state. The New York
Tribune, for example. says:
The census figures for Vermont show
n larger ratio of gain for that State
than had been generally expected
seemed ready to credit rumors in cir
culation a month ago that an actual
loss In population would be disclosed
But the census bureau reports that the
number of Inhabitants in 1910 is 300,
Sta gain OF 1875 for the decade.
The percentage of increase is 3.s.
That. though small. exceeds the per-
centage for the decade from 1890 to
1900, which was "a. and the percent
ages for the two next preceding dec
AIDES. which We're one tenth of per
| cent and one-half OF one per cent respec-
lively. An Increase Of 1885 bulks large
in State whose population has been
nearly stationary for sixty years. The
| average decenninl expansion between
1850 and 1900 was less than 5000. The
largest advance. both positive and

full and repulsive." was the description
of him by one who knew him. He has
an unwieldly figure and knockknees,
is Swarthy of skin. coarse in feature
and has lost one eye. He often passes
whole days in mis- room half dressed,
uncombed, unwashed, biting his nails

yet, says Durand, the empress is quite
crazy over him, as is proved by her
passionate letters in which she ad-
dresses him as my lord. my king my

But perhaps the most remarkable of
all these cases of wOmcn's infatuatiOn
for ugly men was that of w. Hamilton,
Scotsman Of a century and a half
age. Hamilton was not only preterna-
turally ugly but he was terribly de-
formed. His legs" we are told, were
drawn up to mis- ears. his arms were
twisted backward, and almost every
member was out of joint"
In spite of these terrible physical
drawbacks Hamilton easily outstripped
all the gallants in his district in the
favor of the ladies. He might have
