VIEWPOINT

The old school on Cong'l Knoll isn't what 1t used to be. In a little town of NewtOwn Stands a school upon a hill, Every day the scholars entered with
 8 good and hearty will, Every evening when leaving, the
 scholars would say Let's go home now and listen to what
 the old folks will say" The old folks with sad and madness would think with an awful shrill, When they'd see the big fat teacher
 that lives upon the hill. Often times the parents would meet The reliable teacher upon the street, Then would say, ill a pretty little way, eff he should die, no one would cry" Very often the teacher would think Of a good little remedy for his schol-
 ars to drink From day till day, The scholars went away. When time did pass when the rest
 was filled up with gas. There was no schoolhouse in town
 that the pupils learned so fast. Some of the scholars which have left
 their near little school Have gone home retired and left their
 teacher like a fool. He decorated his recitation room and
 part of his parlor. For which he expects more scholars
 to follow Accident Coat, which is in the fam
 lily and never tried on a collar, Would turn three times over (and then
 some) so to get himself Q dollar. No more we will listen To our teachers permission To start a little trouble for which he'd
 give a little commission. He gave them education With the greatest amount of patience Which he knew would pay him back
 with further information. In the last but not the least just a
 little more There's another in the family he calls
 himself "Gizarp', He imagines he's playing a. fiddle, but
 he's simply playing a harp. My dear friends, one and all, I would not have written this at all, But ito give him a. start I shall give him my part - Which is a warning to others (Especially) to fathers and mothers, If they have children to send them to
 others.
 Yours truly.

of doing construction work through the
| local forces in each town.
! Personally | believe the tourist business
of the state could be increased many fold
if the appropriations for highway improve
ment were undertaken at once. In travel
ling over the eastern half of the United
States | have seen no more beautiful
scenery than can be found in practically
every section of Vermont.
The thing that impressed me most was
the smoothness of the road surfaces in
practically every section of the state. The
road might be narrow, crooked or run
over steep grades but nearly always the
surface was remarkably smooth and free
from ruts and loose rocks. This | consider
remarkable. | believe it results from the
system Of regular maintenance of selected
highways which | understand has been in
operation about three years While good
results have been obtained in most in
stances, occasionally a stretch OF road was
passed over which showed lack of atten-
ton by the local commissioner l believe
100 per cent. better results would be OBJ
tanned if some system could be devised
whereby the state commissioner could
have entire jurisdiction over the care of
all selected highways. This might be &C
complished by requiring all towns to raise
and turn over to the state for maintenance
purposes a certain amount per mile of Sc
lected highway and the state commission
er held responsible for the condition of
these highways with authority which now
vests in him to use as much of the auto
mobile registration funds as necessary to
supplement funds furnished by the towns.
This would, within reasonable limits, bring
all selected highways to a uniform state of
maintenance at a uniform cost per mile to
the towns.
In conclusion | must state that it APP
pears to me that no changes are needed in
the state highway law with respect to its
administration.
The two points in connection with i'm
proved road work needing attention are
whether the state shall increase the amount
of work done each year by making larger
state appropriation; and whether the state
will provide a stronger system of main
tenance for selected highways by giving
the state highway commissioner more
jurisdiction over this work. l believe the
state can well afford to take affirmative
action on both of these points.
Respectfully submitted,
PAUL d. SARGENT,
Assistant Director.

The governor said he had made no

the remainder of the campaign; that
requests for speeches were many, but
that he was firm in his intention Of
keeping off the stump while one of his
opponents was incapacitated.
The nominee probably will express
