MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE.
Catalogue Appears Early and
Shows Exhaustion OF College.


Middleburys catalogue for 1911-12
appeared this week and is by far the
most attractive announcement ever put
out by the college. The effect of recent
gains in income is shown in the larger
faculty and many new subjects of study.
There are now 26 instructors, including
nine full professors. Four years ago
the faculty numbered only II. This
catalogue announces 1856 courses, as
against 157 for 1901. If a student
were to take every course offered to
him, it would take him over 16 years to
get through college.
The courses in mechanical drawing,
descriptive geometry, and surveying
and plotting have been listed in new
department of engineering, with new
courses in applied mechanics and muni-
cipal engineering. The latter subject
includes a study of the materials of
engineering, highway construction,
water systems, sewage disposal, and
sanitary science and public health 1t
is not designed to confer degrees in
engineering, but to prepare students to
enter the junior year of a school of
technology of the first grade, thus com
bining the college and technical course
in six years and securing the advan-
tages of both.
With the idea of increasing interest
in the cultural subjects by making
them lead up to their practical appica-
tions, applied courses are offered. In
biology these are agriculture, a general
introduction to the subject with special
reference to those who may be required
to teach agriculture in high schools,
practical and commercial pomology, &C.
onomic entomology, and forestry. In
both pomology and forestry practical
experiments are carried on.
For women, beside the work in physi-
cal education required of freshmen and
sophomores, there are courses in the
function of the family and the relation
of the arts to social life, which are
taught by Miss Crawford, dean of
women, and also a two year course in
home economics.
The Department of Pedagogy now
offers IL courses by two professors and
the intending teacher now begins his
training in freshman year. American
history is thoroughly treated, the
courses extending over three years.
There are new advanced courses in
zoology, geology, chemistry, mathe-
mates, modern languages, and eco
Monies.
The total attendance is 40S. This
includes the summer session, the num-
ber of undergraduates being 305, a
gain of 80 over last year. The men
number 1873 and the women 147. There
are 154 undergraduate students from
Vermont, practically so per cent.
Every state in New England is repre-
sented The numbers from states
other than Vermont are as follows:
Massachusetts so, New York 38, New
Hampshire %, Connecticut %, New
Jersey IL, Rhode Island and Maine 2
each, and Ohio and Tennessee l each.
The foreign countries represented are
China, Japan and Portugal.

FL Recent Object Lesson of the Tariff

necessary buildings that 90 up in flames
every year, far exceeds the number of homes
and other buildings consumed by the forest
fires of the Northwest. Therefore, when you
take a rds-eye view, mentally, of the entire
United States, you cannot fail to realize that
there are just as many unfortunate burnt-outs
outside the burned-over area of the North
west, as there were within it. When you
think of this and bear in mind that the Law
should be no respector of persons and should
treat us all alike you will deeply feel the in
justice of our Government, in compelling mil
lions of people to surrender part of their
money to the Lumber Trust to CRAFTY its in
ordinate greed for gain
If you can think up any good reason why
the American saW-mills in the great lumber
regions of the Northwest cannot produce
lumber profitably, as cheaply as the Canad
ians can do it, please tell us what it is.
| venture to say that the steam whistles of
some of the American sawmills on the Dor
der, can be heard by some of the saw mills
of Canada, and cice cerSa. The labor supply
is practically the same on both sides of the
line. The wages paid by the Canadian mills
are worth as much in Canada as those paid
by the American mills are worth in this coun-
try The lumber is cut from the same con-
tinuous forest growth. Why, then, should
the Lumber Trust of the North west be given
power to shut out Canadian lumber and to ex-

tariffs are framed for the benefit of the cruel
trusts? Do you any longer doubt that the
increase of tariff duties in the Payne Aldrich
bill, which went into effect last summer, was
the true and only cause of the immediate
advance in the cost of living? Can you have
any further doubt that those who pretend
that tariffs are made in the interest of labor
and for the general welfare of the country,
are unmitigated liars and hypocrites? Could
you any longer doubt that when such
Senators as Bailey and Taliaferro, and
such Representatives as Brantley, Bell, Calico
Charley and Gordon Lee voted for that duty
on lumber, they were fully conscious of
the fact that they were betraying their con-
stituents to the Lumber Trust?
Consider the I'M Justice of this thing; see
with what favoritism our government is run.
We must not begrudge the enormous benefit
of cheap building material to those burnt-out
unfortunates of the Northwest But why
shouldn't the same benefit be enjoyed by all
the rest of us? What have we done that we
are less entitled to have the cost-increasing
tariff on lumber removed in our favor? Why
should we be held down by the government
while the Lumber Trust goes through our
pockets!
There is not an hour in the day when
somebody is not burned out; there is never

which recently devastated so many hundred
square miles in Minnesota, and other states
lying along the Canadian border Hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of people were burned out
of house and home. Their misfortunes, like
that of the sufferers of the Sicilian earth
qual1es, was of dramatic character which
appealed to the imagination and aroused
human sympathy. \ great cry for relief
went up from the sufferers and what shape
do you suppose it took2 It was demand
for the removal of the tariff duty upon lum-
Der. Of course, they wanted to rebuild their
dwellings as soon as possible, also their out
houses and fences, and therefore they wanted
lumber at the lowest obtainable price. The
very men who, in Congress-, had voted In
favor of the Lumber Trust and who had
argued that the tariff duties were an unal-
Logged and bountiful blessing, used all of their
influence with the Taft administration to
have Canadian lumber admitted free of duty.
The Administration yielded, the tariff law
was set aside in so far as it related to lumber,
and the citizens of those northwestern states
bought lumber at about half the price which
you and I have to pay.
Could you want any better proof that
