Our Public Schools

Now that commission has been
appointed to prepare a plan for an
educational system in Vermont and
submit it to the legislature, sugges-
tons on this subject are in order
First we would emphasize the fact
that the school problem of Vermont
is the rural school problem. The
following figures taken from the
report of the superintendent Of ed
ucation of 1910 show this. There
are in Vermont 2.4s9 public schools
and of these 1882 are ungraded
schools. There are in the state l.
500 public schools with less than
twenty-five pupils each and eighty
high schools. These high schools
have 5,S25 pupils while the total
number of children of school age in
Vermont is 23S,66S. The total an
nual cost OF the high schools is
s2OO,154.9T and of the public schools
1888, 25O.S7. So it will be seen
that a plan that will help the rural

will soon adjourn but aside from
the appropriation bills its action is
largely for political effect The
house committee which has been in
vestigating the steel trust has final
ly agreed upon a report or rather
two or three reports as the members
could not agree upon plan. The
majority of the committee recon-
mended the passage of an act that
would make any corporation that is
charged with restraining trade pre-
sumptively guilty and obliged to
prove there is no restraint of trade
and that if any person or corpora
ton controls over thirty percent
of the business in it's particular line
it shall be prima facie evidence that
it is restraining trade.
This of course will appeal to a
thoughtless voter as a good thing
but it is not likely the courts of this
country would recognize law that
compels a party to prove it's limo
cence when guilt is only charged
All judiciary authority holds the
party making charge to prove the
guilt of the accused party and il
doubtless will hold the same in this
case
Another political move is the at
tempt to pass wool tariff bill max
ing a slight reduction in the dutie!
on raw wool and a greater reduction
on manufactured wool. The demo

the time they spend in discussing i
, will be wasted. But politics urge
them on in the hope of winning
votes. We believe they would max,
more votes if they would finish tn,
appropriation bills and start 70

schools will be the most beneficial
to the state.
The first requisite in the success
full conducr of the rural schools is
the Identification of the residents of
community with the management
of it's school Make them to as large
a degree as possible responsible for
the standing of their schools and
they will work for its success. There
fore we think it would be unwise to
attempt to concentrate the control
of schools in state board or organi-
cation.
The education in the rural schools
should be framed to give the stu
dents the greatest practical benefit.
In the past we have simply been ed
ucating toward the high school and
college but out of the 23S,66S chill
dren of school age in the state the
high schools graduated only 221 who
intended to enter college in 1910
Our educational system has been
utilized for the benefit of too small
a percentage of the pupils.
Our system of education should
teach the pupils to know how to dc
something. They teach arithmetic
but the graduates do not know how
to figure. Some of them teach LatiI
but their graduates cannot read OF
write Latin. Some teach bookkeep
ing but it is difficult to find a gradu
ate who can keep books. More tim
, should be given to the essential stud
les and the pupil encouraged to mas
ter these rather than rush on an'
taste of new subjects. Too many pu
pills are being turned out of on
- schools without any knowledge o
t how they are to make a living ant
: without ability to make a living
: This is due to the lack of practica
= training. Therefore our rural school
. should give more practical instruc
t ton. These are some of the thing
e the commission should seek TO &C
t complish in its proposed revision o
' Vermont's educational system.

The Vermont progressives in their
platform declare that every vote cast
for the regular republican ticket in
the state election is an endorsement
of Pres. Taft. If that is true it
must be equally true that every vote
for any other ticket is an endorse
ment of Wilson and free trade. Does
the farmer who was so strongly OPP
posed to reciprocity with Canada
want to cast his vote for free trade

Election of Senators.

The democrats and the progressives
of vermont have openly declared for
the election of United States senators
by direct vote. The republican party
has not. So we shall have an open
issue on that question. Speaking on
this matter the Vermont Journal ex-
presses some ideas that the people
should consider. 1t says
No state has greater reason to be
proud over the generally high stan
dard of her senators sent to Wash
ington than Vermont They have
been republicans and have been cho-
sen by republican legislatures. Col
lamhr, Morrill, and Edmunds are
names known in American history.
We believe that the Vermont legis-
latures of the future, as long as the
republican party remains in control,
will be fully competent to discharge
their duty in sending proper men
to the United States Senate. To
make the Federal senate a popular
body destroys most of the reason for
it's existence. 1t was created for
the express purpose of being a legis-
lative check on the house of repre-
sentatives which is a popular body
Study the constitutional history of
the United States. Learn why it
was that Washington, Hamilton and
Franklin, men who were pretty wise
in their day, decided in favor of hav-
ing senators chosen by the state leg
islatures instead of by the people.
See if the reason was not weighty.
See if their season is outweighed
by the arguments of our new-thought
progressiVes and democrats.

Pres. Taft has become convinced
that the act of reciprocity with Can
ada should be repealed. If congress
can drop politics long enough it will
repeal the act If it remains longer
on the statute books the democrats
and progressive republicans will be
responsible for it because they can
repeal it if they wish. AS is well
known this paper believes Pres. Taft
was mistaken in advocating such a
law and it approves of his change OF
heart as an honest political act.

Stealing Was Prevented

An official statement dealing with
the contests before the national re-
publican convention at Chicago has
been issued by the republican nation
al committee and gives information
which every fair-minded voter should
know Originally there we're 252
contests, 23S for Roosevelt and four
teen for Taft. OF these 23S Roosevelt
contests 164 were trumped up as stat
ed by Frank Munsey, one of Roose-
velt's strong supporters, so a tab
ulation of delegate strength could be
put out that would show Roosevelt
holding a good hand. In the game
a table showing Taft $50, Roosevelt
10, contested none would not be very
much calculated to inspire confidence
whereas one showing Taft %, Roose-
welt 10, contested 1877, looked very
different" Having cast their fraud
ulent influence these 164 contests
were not even presented to the COM
mittee at the convention.
The statement shows that in Texas,
where Roosevelt claims the delegates
were stolen, Cecil Lyon, who boasts
that out of a total of 2,S00 govern
ment appointees he selected all but
four or five, got proxies from these
Office holders in counties where there
was no republican organization and
in some instances no republican vote
- IN
the state convention which elected
the delegates to Chicago. The com
mittee after hearing the facts de-
cided that 80 votes secured in this
manner were fraudulent and that the
majority of the legal delegates elect
ed Taft delegates and they were seat
ed.
In the State of Washington where
there was another contest it appears
that a county committee consisting
of $50 members who had the legal
right to do so chose Taft delegates
to Chicago. Then the city of Seattle
increased it's precincts so county
committee of $50 members was made
possible. The original committee of
$50 had voted that the chairman
should have the power to fill any va
cancies that occurred in the original
committee but that committeeman
could not be selected for the 100 new
precincts until after the election in
September when they would be elect
ed by the voters. The chairman of
the committee, a Roosevelt man, ig-
nored this decision and chose 100
new committeeman. Then he called
the committee together and chose a
set of Roosevelt delegates who made
the contest at Chicago. The nation
al committee decided he had no
right to do this and seated the Taft
delegates originally elected.
The report is a document Of 1876
pages and gives all the details of
the contests 1t is so large that but
few of the voters will read it, but
these are the findings Of the commit
tee in these cases. Any fair-minded
man who learns these facts must be-
come convinced that the delegates at
Chicago were not stolen but that the
national and credential committees
really prevented the theft of dele
gates by the illegal methods of the
Roosevelt supporters.
