Our High Schools

Governor Fletcher recommends the
appointment al commission to
thoroughly investigate educational
conditions in Vermont An excellent
idea To this honorable body-if ii
comes into eXistence-The Reformer
suggests that special attention be
given to the present high school sys-
TEN. Let it discover if possible the
reason why the courses of study in
our high schools are based almost
wholly on college entrance require
ments when more than 80 per cent of
our high school pupils never go to
college. Let it bring TO light good
and sufficient reason why practically
every first-year pupil is obliged to
take algebra and foreign language
and later on in his course numerous
other subjects taught on exclusively
college preparatory lines when the
chances are nine TO one that he does
not intend 10 enter higher institu-
ton of learning. The Reformer las
no desire to limit the opportunities
of boys and girls who are in search
of the disciplinary training that
comes from the classical course. but
it believes that our present high
school curriculum limits the oppor-
tunities of training to other boys and
girls with different tastes. We are
in the habit of judging the efficiency
of a high school by its privilege TO
get pupils into college by certificate
instead of by its ability to prepare
them for valuable citizenship. Our
high schools ought to actually edu-
cate all our children whether they are
interested in higher mathematics or
not; they should cease to be merely
places for preparing chosen few for
college. Vermont is only one of
many states that are confronted wi,u
this problem, but because other com
monwealths are clinging to the moss
grown bulwark OF educational tradi-
ton is no reason why we should do
the same thing. The question is not
so much what should the high
schools require of their pupils as
what does the public welfare require
of the high schools ?-Brattleboro Re
former.

Secondary Education in Vermont

In the current number of the Edu-
cational Review Prof. julius Sachs Of
Columbia university, gives the follow
ing comment on the pamphlet OF
Prof Raymond Mcfarland OF Middle
bury college on Secondary Educa-
ton in Vermont" The investiga-
ton was obviously carried on in a
spirit of fairness, was thoroughly OBJ
jective and was promoted by no de-
sire to find fault But the report
based upon the inquiry discloses a
series of facts that point unmistak-
ably to a short-sighted educational
policy on the part of the state au-
thorities; they merit the structures
of the pamphlet. A very pointed ar
raignment of the authorities for their
Indifference to the physical well-being
of the pupils in matters of sanitation,
ventilation and lighting, is followed
by a demonstration of similar ne
glect in the matter of laboratories; il
IS not surprising that these same Of
hcials maintain but lax standards OF
teaching proficiency, and that their
rating of their schools is distinctly
must be to the few schools of really
high grade to find themselves group
ed with large number of others OF
marked inferiorityl II is an I'M
pleasant task that the author of
this pamphlet has undertaken, bat II

vital importance TO horticultural peo-
pie. OF special interest will be a
paper entitled "a Spray Tor Apple
Maggott" by T.. II. West of Dorset, a
man who has tried out for the first
time this newly discovered spray for
| this universal pest. The culture of
raspberries will be discussed by
George Aiken of Putney. who has
had much experience with this fruit.
New varieties of apples already on
trial I'M Vermont will be exhibited and
described by Luther Putnam of Cam.
bridge and F. II. Mcfarland of Hyde
Park. IL is expected that these lat
ter papers will be of special interest
since there is underway rapid
change in the choice of varieties for
Nermonters An effort is being
made to persuade the growers to eli
inmate many OF the worthless kinds
and choose among the best kinds OF
today and tomorrow.
The fertilizing of orchards will be
very ably discussed by DR. ]. p.
Stewart. Professor of Horticulture in
the PENNSYLVANIA State College.
Professor Stewart has been carrying
on very extensive experiments in the
use of fertilizers and has made some
very remarkable discoveries. Every
fruit grower in Vermont should be
there to hear the subject discussed.
Another delicate problem in Vermont
apple culture. namely. that Of deer
i'm relation to orchard culture. will be
discussed by Hon. ]. W. Titcomb,
state Game Commissioner. A demon
stration in the boxing of apples will
be given b ythe Grand Isle Fruit
Company OF South Hero. This com
pany has had much experience in
the past three years on the fine

rare ability and will be sure to have
some interesting things to say. An
illustrated lecture on landscape gar
dening will be given by Professor
G.. +. Burns of the State University.
The principles of apple storage
will be described by Mr.. p. NJ. Lom-
bard of the Vermont Experiment
Station, who has been making a
special study of this problem. This
subject is of great moment to the
Vermont fruit growers and they will
have a chance at this time to learn
of the most approved methods of ap-
pie storage. The remaking OF old
orchards will be discussed by one
who has had much experience, Mr..
Elmer Hill of South Hero. Com

ings will be open to the public and
IL is hoped that a large number OF
people will avail themselves of this
opportunity to hear so many ex-
perts. II is infreQuent indeed when
so many men of horticultural achieve
ment are assembled in Vermont
town. Judging from the information
that has come to the office Of the
secretary, the exhibits this year will
be unusually good and there will be a
splendid opportunity to study var
ious exhibition methods and the rela-
tive merit Of different fruits for Yer
mont
Premiums are offered for excel
lencies OF exhibits of plate speci-
mems Of apples. pears. and grapes:
box and barrel exhibits of apples:

DEPENDS ON THE DOUGH.
St. Louis, Mo-, March 49,
The old saw, the evil that men.
do. lives after them" is being al
tered here today to read the rela-
tives a man has live after him,
and try to live off of his estate.
Jeremiah Moynahan, aged 80,
passed out yesterday. He had
lived most of his life as a single
man right here in St. Louis. Many
people wept sealding tears, and
thought how sad it was that an.
old man should die without chill
dren BY his bedside to help ease
his last hours. But as Mr.. Moy-,
nahan was thought to be SINGLE
and was a good man, of course
there were no children expected
Today all is changed. Mr.. Moy-i
nahan left $56,735, and nearly a
thousand claimants have STEP
ped forward and asked for a slice
of the coin. These claimants are
classified as follows:
Twenty children, several wives,
40 brothers and sisters, and hun
dreds of nieces, cousins, aunts
and uncles.
Administrators of the estate
are trying to puzzle out when
and where Moynahan acquired
all these relatives. They reason
that if he did so he would not have
had time to make the small ford
tune heieft. .

Report on the Santa Fe Trail.

report on the SANTA re Trail
"AIore than 200 stone, cement
or corrugated iron bridges and
culyerts have during the past
twelve months replaced the wood
en- culverts on the Old Trails
Road across Missouri, says the
report of the Missouri Old Trails
Road Association issued today by
its president, Dean Walter Will
Jams of the School of journalism
of the University Of Missouri.
The report sums up the obserya-
tons made ON an inspection tour
in a Case car over the west half
of the road. the Santa Fe Trail.
This inspection tour was from
Columbia to Kansas City and re-
turn and included both divisions
of the road through Howard and
Saline counties, crossing the Mis-
souri, river at Glasgow and at
BOonville.
"The improvement Of the road
is especially noticeable through
western Missouri, 5" says the re
port. "'The best work during the
year has been done in the LEX
INGTON special road district,
where the road has been macad-
amized. The best twenty miles of
earth road work has been done
Boonyille and Arrow
Rock. Notably good work, equal
in character but not so extensive,
has been done in some sections
Of southern Howard county and
between Glasgow and Fayette
and in Saline county between
and Slater, The Case
car found some Of the worst
pieces of road in the incorpora-
ted towns along the cross-state
More markers are need
ed in and near the towns of Fay
cite and Franklin and between
R~ocheport and the Boonville cut
off. The new markers showing
mileage in the Lexington district
are the best on the road. Scarce
ly a wooden bridge, except the
old covered bridges, remain on
on the Santa Fe Trail division
of the highway"
The report IN full, with reports
from every county, will be made
at the annual meeting of the Mis-
souri, Old Trails Road Association
