The presentation of the Washington

week has opened the way to sugges-

institution that nterschool pageants be
introduced into Vermont educational life.
While there may be doubt as to the
practieability of such scheme, there
can be little doubt as to the value of
a pageant such as that arranged by
the students of the senior and Junior
classes at Montpelier seminary. The
school which produces a performance of
such nature must receive consider

as pageant encourages originality and
initiative among the students and stirs
