Teaching Self Support

Little by little the drift of public
opinion, guided more that often by
specialized professional experience, is
inclined toward the idea that the public
schools are not, or should not be design
ed to be merely cultural institutions or
preparatory schools for college, but that
they are to be the agencies for fitting
our boys and girls to be self-supporting.
The Messenger has long held to the op,
inion that the state does not owe its
children cultural education that it
does owe them such an education as
will prepare them to be self-supporting
and to go into partnership with other
citizens in running the business Of pop
ular government at the polls. Ii any
body wants to Guilty ate his mind beyond
that point, if he wants to develop liter
AIRY and artistic tastes for the mere en-
joyment of their aesthetic delights, he
should himself either fnd a way OF
make one.

1t is difficult for the opposing railroad
interests to find any go ID reason Why
the Grand Trunk should not he allowed
to enter Boston. The frank statement
of the management that they are seek
ing to enter New England for purely
business reasons, aud the absence Of
anything tending to prove the contrary,
makes the case of the Grand Trunk a
strong one. The fact that this is the
oaly road in this section standing out
for the freight differentials makes a
kindly feeling for the Grand Trunk.
The granite manufacturers of Vermont
alone are saved thousands of dollars
every year by the roads refusal to
abandon the differentials to the West
when other lines insisted upon it.

Taft's Greatest Monument

President Taft has 1ow appointed a
majority Of the United States Supreme
Court, including n Chief Justice, and
this change has taken place within less
than three years. IL is record which
has not been equalled in like space Of
time since Washington. 1t is a record
which has rot been equalled by another
President in any space of time save by
Washington, Jackson and Lincoln.
Washington in eight years had the
naming of twelve Justices, including
Chief Justices Jay, Rutledge aud Ellis
worth. jackson in eight years nsTed
five, including Chief Justice fancy,
Lincoln in four years also named five,
including Chief Justice Chase. But
Grant in eight years appointed only
four, including Chief Justice Waite,
while Cleveland in his two separated
terms appointed four, including Chief
Justice Fuller.
With Washington came the original
organization of the court. With Jack
sou an old political era ended and
new began. With Lincoln the court
was affected by Civil War. But with
Taft chapter of natural causes unrelat
ed to politics has operated to depicts
the Supreme Bench and make up To-
him this remarkable record.
How we'll Mr. Taft has met this un
usual situation is now question o
small dispute. His appointment a
Chief Justice oil Democrat in politics
a cessionist in Civil War and a Romal
Catholic in religion, alone places HI
motives in all these appointments ahov
question for singleminded devotion t
the public interest. His further disre
E gard of sectional lines in the appoint
ments of Lurton OF Tennessee and Lam
ar If Georgia affords additional evidenc
of patriotic action. These and Justice
Van Devanter of Wyoming aud Hughe
OF New York are already proving them
selves worthy successors OF Fuller, Peel
man, Brewer and Moody.

1t is evident from the returns received
from the agricultural book issued by the
publicity bureau of the secretary OF
state that revival of farming in Yer.
mont may be looked for. When the
west was new and its lands cheap and
productive without fertilization afforded
a great attraction to the Fastener. But
the west Of the early days is gone.
Farming land in that section is expen-
sive. Many western farmers, and more
farmers sons, are leaving their costly
lands for the cheap new lands in Canada.
But many fasteners, finding returns on
their investments growing less, are turn.
ing their eyes to I" back home." The
advantages of Vermont as an agricultur
al state are many and vast. Vermonters
themselves are showing renewed interest
in the management of their farms and
establishing schools of agriculture. The
land in Vermont that is fitted for cult.
walton is some of the best that lies out
of doors and the records of production
show that it can compete with the fam
Gus prairies of the west. The climate
is favorable and draaghts, grasshoppers
and cyclones are unknown, while close
at hand is the market the western farm.
er must come thousands of miles to
reach. What Vermont needs is An
awakening to her opportunities and to
take advantage of them. There are
signs of awakening.
