"Resolved, that immigration to the
United States shoa'd be- regu}a ID by
n rigid educational test" was the
subject of one of the most int 'i'ast-
ing debates the Philomatheen chat
ing Society of the High School has
enjoyed for some time. The debate
vas rendered at the regular weekly
meeting in the High School yester-
day afternoon. The affirmative side
won out in the battle Of words, but
orly by the excellent speech OF
-Smead Maloch. Mr. Maloch was a
surprise to the entore audience. He
came out on his subject with many
strong points and made by far the
tost forceful speech of the after
>4,oon. His perfect voice for speak
ing added to the good debate, which
was one of the best ever heard In a
High School literary society. The
other speakers on the affirmative
were Morgan Toney, Roger McNew
and virginius Mead. The negative
speakers were John Harper, Edwin
Rowell, Robin Few and Wardlaw
Murphy. President McGaughy and
Secretary Barrow presided over the
meeting

The College and the People.

The spirit of public service is becom-
ing more and more an actuating prnci-
pie Of educational institutions. Where
formerly the service was local in nature
and extent one now finds the service ex
tended to the doors of the people.
More people attend institutions of high
er education than ever before, bat
student enrolment is not the whole
measure Of college service. One of the
most salutary means of broadening col
lege service is the movement called col
lege extention which has met with
marked success in many parts of the
West. The beginning of a systematic
extention of the college to people re-
mote from college centers was made in
Vermont last year when Dean Walter
Z. Howard organized college extention
lecture courses to he given by members
of the faculty of Middlebury College
| The movement was well received by
the people from the first and there were
calls for above sixty lectures in all parts
of the state. The course will be con
tinued this year under the direction o.
Prof. Raymond Mcfarland of the De
partment of Pedagogy who announces
an attractive list of subjects and speak
ers. The plan is to give the lectures il
groups of five, no lecturer appearing
twice in course. Twenty-Five subject
are offered from the fields of history
biography, literature, education, socol
ogy and travel. The courses are con
Quoted under the auspices of the school

clubs in either case the best though
of the college finds an avenue for reach

A Word to Depositors in Savings Banks

There are many matters connected
with human affairs that are beyond
human knowledge.
We know they exist, but why, Omni-
potence only understands.
But when it comes to cold.blooded,
every day business affairs like banking,
we find that given conditions certainly
produce their logical results.
Here is a concrete illustration:
On the first day of July, 1907, the
HYDE Park Savings Bank had deposits
aggregating sS44,l5S34. Four years
later, TO wit, on the first day of July,
1911, those deposits had increased to
g., 0lS, 306.77 {; 1879 per cent, or sl,l74,-
1884 gain in four years.
The first utterance given to a state
ment of this kind is, alt cannot be
true
The second is, "The growth is
phenomenal"
And then we say, alt is simply
wonderful-how can it be?'
Figures do not lie and the cold facts
in the matter are that in the little
village of Hyde Park, with its population
of only 423, there is a Savings Bank
which the people of Vermont hold in
such high esteem that for four years the
deposits therein have exceeded the
Withdrawals by between 5000 and
$1,000 for every working day in the four
years. To be exact about it, 1886 per
working day.
What is the explanation?
Simply that the people of Vermont
have watched the growth of the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust
Company with unusual interest because
of its management and its methods of
investments.
They have not failed to observe that
in its entire existence of more than
twenty-five years, the funds of the bank
have been invested with such excellent
judgment and such painstaking care
that the bank has a record, probably
unparalleled, of never having lost a
dollar by poor note.
The man or boy having money to
deposit has simply said to himself, "the
very safest, the very strongest, and the
most conservative Savings Bank man.
agement is none too good for me- aud il
the four per cent interest paid by the
Hyde Park bank is the highest rate OF
interest paid by any Vermont bank, and
if it is perfectly safe to send money by
maitland the records show that not a
dollar of deposits sent by mail to this
bank was ever lost-why shouldn't ]
place my funds for investment and safe
keeping in the Hyde Park bank"
The question is natural one and the
answer follows as naturally as the night
follows the day.
Really, there is nothing mysterious
about this abnormal and phenomenal
growth.

The Express MonopoIy

There are a few encouraging signs
that some measure of relief from the
exactions of the express monopoly may
be brought about in the not distant
future.
In commenting on the coming inves-
tigation of the express business by the
Interstate Commission, the New York
Journal of Commerce says:
There is no business that has been
made more nearly monopolistic in its
character, so far as its interstate aspect
is concerned. There is more
or less competition in local express ser
vice, though there has been tendency
in late years for the large companies to
acquire control over those which are
limited to local fields in collecting and
delivering baggage and packages for
transportation over their lines. By con-
tracts with railroads which do their
long.distance hauling for them the ex-
press companies have divided the field
of interstate service among themselves
in way to prevent competition and
where the articles carried have of me-
cessity to be transferred from one to
another to reach their destination, they
have not made joint through rates, but
the initial carrier has charged the com.
bined rates and accounted to the others
for the share belonging to their lines.
"There being practically no competi.
ton, each company could make its
charges and rules about what it pleased
and the patrons have had to make the
best of it. Arrangements between the
express companies and railroad com.
panies have been subject to no control
and they have been made in a way to
be as profitable to both as they chose to
make them. Under such system
abuses aud exactions were inevitable
and complai nts have certainly beer
common and usually unavailing. Re-
dress for any wrong resulting in pecu
mary loss has seemed to be unattainabls
without more trouble, annoyance and
sacrifice of time and expense than il
was worth if finally obtained. There il
scarcely doubt that there is need Of
reform in the service of express com
panies and pretty thorough investiga
ton is necessary to determine what il
to be done to effect it. 1t is quite time
this service was brought under effectiv,
regulation and supervision"
The Journal, in what is very moderate
language considering the circumstances
is entirely right in asserting that
thorough investigation is necessary i
the express companies are really to b.
brought into subsection to the law.
A significant move on the part of tn
express companies, and a plain admis
