reacher Training Courses.

The principal of the Brattleboro
high school makes sharp criticism,
in his home newspaper, of the
teacher training courses establish
ed in ten or twelve high schools Of
the state last year under a new law.
He SAYS Brattleboro didn't want
such a course and is glad it didn't
get one. He complains that the
course is a mere makeshift and re-
suits in foisting upon the rural
schools more teachers of the kind
with which they are already too well
supplied-young, immature and ILL
prepared. He thinks regular normal
schools are the proper place in
which to train teachers, and the only
place, and that endeavor should be
along that line.
From the near observation of this
high school training course for
teachers, we partially agree and par
TALLY disagree with this educator
The general idea is a good one.
There is no reason why young lady
about to graduate from our best
Vermont high schools cannot receive
special training as a teacher that
will fit her for the demands of the
ordinary rural school. Normal grad
yates will not, as a rule, go to these
rural schools, because they can do
better; with the result that our small
schools are commonly taught by
those recently from the high schools,
anyway, and if something can be
done to prepare them better than
heretofore, it is an advantage. The
feature of state aid for such kind OF
training we believe to be a good
one.
There are certain details of the
present plan, however, that seem
faulty. The arbitrary requirement
OF ten scholars TO pursue this course
results in an undue effort to rope

Prlmarr Law UnsatisfactorE.

The editorial taken from the Ian
caster Gazette headed The Short
Ballot In New Hampshire should be
carefully read by all Vermonters.
Attention is especially called to the
last paragraph which reads:-
Since the adoption of the direct
primary system it has been found
the expense of running for Office In
New Hampshire has greatly increas-
ed. In many cases it is said to be
practically prohibitive. In the
minds Of many political leaders,
some short ballot system must be
worked out in order to keep this
cost within reasonable bounds. But
the principal contention is that
where the number of officials elected
at one time is as great as-it is in this
state, the average voter is unable to
cast an Independent and intelligent
ballot, but must allow the party or
ganization to perform this duty for
him by means of the party emblem.
The Caledonian has been advocat-
ing the direct primary for Vermont
for some time past in the belief it
would give the people an opportunity
to express their choice for candidates
for political office. This statement
concerning the actual working of a
primary law presents some undesir-
able features, however, that we find
difficult to explain. We believe the
people Of Vermont would not want a
law that will increase the expense of
running for political Office and should
it prove, as in New Hampshire, that
the voter is still at the mercy of the
party in casting his ballot at pri-
mary election we would not have the
independence that has been claimed
for the law. Now New Hampshire
people propose a short ballot which
means that the voters would select
the head of ticket and allow him to
appoint the minor offices. This GER
tainly would not be so much popular
government as we have at present.
So we must confess that the prac-
tical working of the primary law in
other states has brought out difficult
ties that are as yet unsolved. Unless
they are solved soon the primary law
is likely to pass on. Perhaps Yer
mont can safely wait until some 9TH
er state has made a practical and
satisfactory solution of these ques-
tions before going to the expense and
confusion of trying an unsatisfactory
system

The River Disaster.

The profound shock and sorrow
at the loss of three lives blotted out
while enjoying all the beauty, hope
and vivacity of youth was the instant
result of the river disaster of last
Thursday. The deepest sympathy
with the parents to whom the over
whelming sorrow had so suddenly
come was universally felt. But the
eargerness with which men in all
walks of life volunteered their SER
vices in the attempt to recover the
bodies of the victims was a touching
demonstration that love and SYM
pathy exist in undiminished strength
in the human heart. Beside the
friend of the victims and their rela-
tives worked the stranger to both

men deserve the highest praise and

alleviated and dispelled by their
heroic efforts inspired by the living
force of human love and sympathy.

in" enough to assure the course,
some of whom are not fitted for it
and will not profit by it, Such a
feature gives no permanency; q
school may be able to command the
course one year. and not the next,
with resultant loss. There should be
some actual teaching; experience in
outside rural schools, instead of
contining it TO lower grade work.
Still more important, the course
should be a two-year course; the
first year covering the final years
regular work in the high school, with
special bearing toward teaching; and
the second postgraduate year
wholly devoted to the theory and
practice of teaching. Then we could
prepare, our rural school teachers in
a practical and efficient manner for
their labOrs and realize far better
returns. One good special instructor
would not be overworked in handling
such a two-year course in classes that
would naturally form in even our
largest high schools.-LHerald and

Canadian ReclprocitY Dead.


BY a vote of thirty-seven yeas to
twenty-seven nays the United States
senate voted to repeal the act pro-
Eiding reciprocal trade agreements
with Canada and made the duty on
print paper 50 per ton instead of
1878 per ton as it was before the
reciprocity act was passed. Under
the reciprocity act print paper from
Canada was admitted free of duty.
So the full effect of the act is the
repeal of the privilege to make reci-
procal trade treaties with, Canada
and make a uniform rate of So a ton
on all print paper imported into the
United States.
In the vote on this question, which
was offered as an amendment to the
tariff bill amending the metal sche-
dule, the republican senators voted
in favor of the repeal and the demo-
Gratis against it. Senators Dillingham;
and Page voted in favor of it's repeal
which was consistent with their vote
against the passage of the act. The
metal schedule bill has been passed
by the senate with this amendment
and has gone into conference be-
tween the two houses. The question
now is what will the house with it's
democratic majority do with it. Will
K accept the Senate's amendment
and defeat the democrats of that
body or will they stand by the demo-
cratic senators and become the
champions of reciprocity with Can
ada? Should they do the latter it
would place the president in a pecu-
liar position. He of course will veto
the metal schedule bill if it comes to
him. This veto of course would null
lily the action of the senate in re-
pealing the reciprocity act because
the president cannot veto one section
OF bill and approve another. So
/: the bill goes to him and he vetoes
it he will in effect be continuing the
life of an act that Canada and the
senate have repudiated. But what
ever his act it is evident that Cana
dian reciprocity is dead both sides of
the line. Canada will never agree to
iE after the Interpretation it has CIV
en- of President Taft's remarks con-
corning it in his confidential letter
to Mr.. Roosevelt, which was made
public in the recent campaign, and
the senate stands ready to kill any
attempt to put it into effect. So the
farmers of Vermont need have no
fear that reciprocity may be forced
upon them by republican admins
tration.

Chance for Popular Vote.

According to the Constitution of
the United States a majority of the
states decide who shall be president.
or course in most cases the popular
vote Of the people is in accordance
with the vote of the majority of the
states but if there happens to be a
conflict between the two the states
prevail This seems hardly right.
If there is a place where the majority
OF all the people of the United States
should prevail it should be in the
choice of the chief executive. The
president serves the country as
8 whole and the people rather than
the states should be given full power
to select him. This would necessi-
tate a change in the constitution and
do away with the present provision
that each state shall have as many
presidential electors as the number
of members it may be entitled to in
congress.
Such change would do away
with the predominance of the South
in the selection of party candidates
and give the people their just rights
in the election of president. We
submit whether or not this might
not be a more desirable change than
q change in the method. of electing
United States senators.

ENDS So YEARS SERVICE.
G. H. Taplin Has Resigned at Fair
bankS=Presented With Watch.

At the close of almost 81 full
years of service at the scale factory
of E. and T. Fairbanks and Company
G. H. Taplin resigned his position,
the resignation taking effect last
Saturday night. When the closing
hour came his fellow workmen in
the beam room gathered around him
and the foreman, George Wood, pre-
scented Mr.. Taplin with "a fine gold
watch as a token of the esteem. felt
for him by his fellow workers. Mr..
Taplin, who is IS years old says
that he intends to take a good rest
now
No one is employed at the shops
now that was there when Mr.. Taplin
began work in 1855, the last man
whose date of beginning service was
earlier than Mr. Taplin's being Col.
F. A. Walker, who recently passed
away. Among those who have been
the longest associated with Mr.. Tap
lin in the shops are Luther
Brooks who has been there nearly
Sc years, William Macdonald, who
has been there 40 years and Henry
Burns who has worked 40 years.
Only two buildings now remain
of those in the plant when Mr.. Tap
lin began his service, the saw shop
and blacksmith shop, and these have
been enlarged. When be began
work Mr. Taplin says 200 men were
employed at the shops and five times
that number are on the pay roll.
