WHAT OUR NEIGHR0RS SAY
Substitution Of mn Agricultural High
school for the Randolph Normal
school.
(Trom the Randolph ilerald)

(Trom the Randolph ilerald)
one of Governor Mcad's cherished ideas
is the establishments of "A state agricultural
high school. Vermont is the only state
given largely to agriculture that has
nothing of the sort. 1t Is believed that
were such a school available, v here boys
could 70 ana take Il practical course in
agriculture, while a. the Same time pur-
suing most Of the ordinary cultural stud
les of the high school. IT would be large
Is patronzed. Such Is the experience In
other States. As matters stand, Vermont
Is doing very little toward educating her
young farmers; indeed she is doing moth
ing. # we are 20 have an intelligent and
up-to-date husbandry they need alton
tion while they are young and best able
TO learn. 1t is Governor Mcad's idea that
a good way and place to begin would be
by starting the school IN connection with,
or a. n possible successor to. tho state
normal school at Randolph Center. 1t
Is a most favorable location for such an
institution, with plenty Of avail
able rich land and several desr-
able buildings for such plant
already erected. If the properties
could be acquired with tho assurance that
the State would use them In furtherancc
of the agricultural school idea, it might
he well for all parties interested and
concerned. Randolph will not willingly
part with her normal school unless there
is something to take its place, but If
Vermont really means to invest its money
and put its shoulder TO the wheel in be-
half of so promising a scheme as an agri-
cultural school, possibly with industrial
and domestic science departments. and is
not seeking to ''let us down easy, there
will be a disposition to meet the State
half way.

(FrOn the BrattlcbOrO Roformer)
Every sportsman Interested in improv-
ing the trout streams of the State ought
to do his part toward securing the pass
age of the bill introduced by Speaker
Howe providing for the permanent clos
ing of small streams whether or not
they have been stocked No other meth
cd will so help the trout fishing in Yer
mont Year-round protection of the
head-waters and tributaries of our pr!n-
cipal streams will give the small FISH op-
portunity to grow unmolested until they
are Of legal length, and In a short time
result in the streams stocking them
selves. Mr.. Howe's bill also provides for
the reduction of the legal length of trout
that may be caught from to 1-2 Inches
and for the distribution by the State of
fingerlings instead of fry. The latter pro-
vision is particularly good one, the
distribution of trout fry being merely a
| waste of good money.

BRATTLEBORO'S RAILROAD S1TUA-
TlOE.
(t'rom the Brattleboro Phoenix

(t'rom the Brattleboro PhoeniX.)
The railroad situation offers greater
potentialites for the Industrial develop
ment of Brattleboro than any prospect
which has come to the attention of the
people of this community in many years
IT should be remembered that Brattle-
boro IS only one pawn in q big chess
game which is being played between two
railroad giants, the Grand Trunk and the
New York, New Haven & Hartford sys-
tens. and that Palmer and Providence
are among the strategic points In which
interest in this contest lies Tho New
Haven company wishes to build Its own
double track lines from South Vernon to
this village parslleling the existing single
track of the New London Northern road,
which is a part OF the Grand Trunk sys-
TEN. The New Haven, through its con-
troll of the Boston & Maine system, now
has the right of way from Brattleboro to
Windsor and all this line is double track
ed except a section from below Putney
station to this village, If the New Haven
builds around the New London track be-
tween South Vernon and Brattleboro. 1t
will also be necessary to build new
line from Windsor to White River juno
ton. With these two links closed the
New Haven could run over It's own irons
from New York city to Sherbrooke +. =.
The Grand Trunk. through the Central
Vermont, now appears with a proposition
for a charter for a line of its own from
Windsor to Brattleboro. With this built
the Grand Trunk. with It's ramitications
10 various parts of Canada, could run
over It's own roadbed through Vermont,
Massa Chusctts, Connecticut and Rhode
Island and have one tide water terminal
| at New London and another n. Provi-
| dence. after building the line from Pal
| mer, for which charters have been grant
ed In both Massachusetts and Rhode
| Island. If the two great companies carry
out their plans as outlined Brattleborc
| will have railroad competition, with two
| distinct lines running both north and
south. With union passenger and freight
| stations and the two lines competing fol
business Brattleboro would be very ad
| vantegeously situated and eXceptiona
| railroad facilities would be added to the
attractions of good locations and cheaI
power which are now offared. Brattlc
! horo and Vernon promise to cut bis
figure on the business map within few
| years.

DIR. Gallaudet's Retirement.

Few educators in any line Of activity
have scored a[record comparable with
that of Edward NJ Gallaudet. who yester-
day rendered his resignation as president
of the Columbia Institution for the Deaf
ard Dumb after a continuous service of
6fty-three years in that capacity. The
name of Gallaudet is inseparably asso-
cia:ed with the education of the mutes in
America. DIR. f. NJ. Gallaudets father
laid the foundations of deaf-mute instruc-
ton, and it was eminently appropriate
and. as the event has proved, advan-
tageous that the son should have been
placed at the head OF the Columbia In
stitution upon its establishment in 1857.
though he was then only in his twenty
first year The high qualifications of the
man for his duties was demonstrated
from the beginning. and for more than
half a century he has labored faithfully
and progressively in the special field of
his exceptional fitness, and today the
fruits of his labor are apparent in the
prosperity and intelligent. usefulness of
thousands of American citizens whose
housekeeping physical defects have in the
course of years been overcome or mini
mixed at Kendall Green" In his retire.

A Larger Page.

In order to accommodate the demand
for more space The Star begins today an
enlargement of its pages. increasing each
page from seven to eight columns This
will be true of both the daily and the
Sunday editions. The tremendous in
crease i'm advertising in The Star and
the growing need for more space LOT
news which i'm the past has made II nee
essary often to print The Star with
supplements. is the chief reason for this
change. The increase. however, VIII per-
NIT the concentration OF the news, with
a better display of headlines and more
convenient arrangement of articles. This
larger page will also permit the mainfe-
nance of a more constant ratio of reading
matter and advertisements. The eight
column page will thus be convenience
to the reader, and it is believed that the
change will he appreciated by the public
as q practical Improvement.

Washingtou's Needs.

While the note chiefly sounded by the
speakers of the special meeting called by
the Washington Society of the Fine Arts
TO consider 1.-The betterment of Washing
ton was in some measure pessimixtic as
to the present conditions. they were by no
means lacking in optimism regarding the
future No matter what mistakes have
been made since the founding of the CAPT.
TEL upon the broad lines which, as Mi.
Page truly said, constitute Washington's
ct Of beauty. 1t is true that save in q few
Istafces the opportunity remains to
realize the high ideals of George Wash
iEglon and of l. Enfant. Ii was for the
sIrer attainment OF those ideals that las,
nights meeting was called and it is 10
be believed that as result Of il the seE-
ii,icnt in Congress for speedier and more

Three Million Dope Fiends.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


1t is hard to believe that the govern
ment officials are correct when they an
nounce that there are three millions Of
so-called dope fiends in this country-that
is to say victims of some of the deadly
drugs which most people know only by
name. Cocaine, morphine and other such
devastating drugs are being used in en-
larged quantities. and recent events in
this city show how widespread their use
is becoming. Here is a chance to do
some reform in vigorous way. There
seems to be enough law on the subject if
it is vigorously enforced but it is not
true that punishment is now severe
enough. The use of these drugs can be
suppressed only by maintaining strict
control over the sale of them. The worst
feature of them all is that they are SO
insidiOus. 1t is long time before the
victim is known and then it is apt to be
too late. 1t does seem as if the federal
government and the states could work
together so as to make 1t impossible for
unlawful dispensers to get a supply.
When man has acquired a desire for
these drugs he will make almost any
sacrifice to secure them. Alcohol at it's
worst is a simple matter compared with
cocaine and other "dopes.'

its many natural beauties shall be saved,
and development made in the right direc-
tion-that Washington may become the
model city of the nation
Congress has now passed the art COM
mission bill. which only awaits adjust
ment In conference. The citizens are al
ready at work in q hearty spirit of CO.
operation in the development of their
own premises. Congress is holding in
the balance the fate of the Fairgrounds
movement In Washington and there is
faith in the correctness CT its final de-
cision. national gallery is in being in
circumstances to promise steady develop
ment and growth. The work of deco
rating the public schools is progressing
encouragingly under the stimulus of pri-
vate enterprise and the effective Coop
Grafton of school authorities. Rock Creek
valley remains yet to be reclaimed, and
the problem of its treatment grows an
nuaIly more difficult as Congress fails to
attack it. The Potomac palisades are be-
ing destroyed by quarrymen. The recla-
nation of the Anacostia flats is at last
in fair way of accomplishment. The inn
provement of the water front lags lam
entably.
Thus of the enumerated necessities
practical beginnings have been made for
the accomplishment of all but two OF
three. and if as a result of last night 5
meeting national attention is directed 10
the condition of the federal city II Is
probable that in addition to the local de-
mand Congress will soon hear from the
country at large an urgent requisitlon Tor
the prompt completion of the capital
making program. For Washington De-
longs to all the people, and its short
so distinctly noted by last
nights speakers, are OF kind to arouse
tic impatience of the American public
and, when fully understood, to lead to
action.
