The Rural School.

"The great educational problem OF
Vermont is admittedly that Of the rural
school Why not face the problem
squarely; assert as fundamental prin-
ciple that it is the inherent right of every
child to attend school taught by a
competent teacher, irrespective of his
place of residence or family condition;
make this principle effective by grant
ing certificates TO teach only to those
candidates who have excellent character,
adequate scholarship, natural aptitude,
and who are willing to make special
preparation for teaching. There would
follow then first, a scarcity of teLeh
ers; second. an increase in wages in ac-
cordance with the economic law already
stated, which would soon yield a full
supply of teachers for the schools; third,
an insistent popular demand for ade.
quate training facilities, demand not
now in evidence and one which would
solve on it, merits the question Of nor

VAUDEVILLE
WAR STARTS

Western Vaudeville Circuit

Circuit in Playhouse Duel; !;
People Assured Splendid
Attractions.

AS result Of the vaudeville war
that is raging in Hammond the general
public is being treated to Some of the
best attractions that the booking agen-
cies afford.
The war started when the Orpheum
theater opened on Christmas eve and
the Western Vaudeville association
booked some of its best acts for the To-
cal theater.
The beautiful new theater and the
high grade attractions drew the crowds
and the house was put on paying ba-
sis from the very start. The venture
justified the widest expectations of
its promoters.
/ Manager C. G. kingwill OF the Ham
mond theater made but little effort TO
offses what the management of the
Orpheum theater had been doing, for
the reason that he knew the crowds
would continue to go to the 0rpheum
SO long as the theater was new to
them.
Now, however. he has taken steps to
book vaudeville for the nights that the
house would ordinarily be dark He Is

Sullivan -Considdine circuit and has
three high grade attractions in addi-
tion to the three photoplays which will
be feature of the performance.

MISS. BROOKS SAYS IT
IS GRAF TING PROJECT
Attempt of Village Board to
Appropriate Money for
Pole Line Watched.

The attempt on the part of the VIII
large board of West Hammond to ap-
proprfate a large sum of money for
the purpose of building a pole line to
connect the village with the drainage
canal power is big grating project.
according to Miss Brooks.
Miss Brooks says that her attorney.
Perry S. Patterson, has discovered that
the towns of Bolton, Blue Island, Ber-
win and Morgan Park all get power
from the drainage board without hav-
ing to build private power lines. Only
small interest charge is made for
the interest on the investment that
the company makes.
Miss Brooks says that this is evil
dence of the fact that the attempt on
the part of the village board to appro-
pirate $4,000 for this purpose indicates
how thoroughly depraved the officials
are.
