A WISE STEP.
Why Not Enable American Farmer

On some railroads it takes a man

four years to become a doctor. a law

least fairly good education. Car
penters. bricklayers, engineers tailors
and even BARRIERS must 20 through, a
long apprenticeship before they be-
come the real thing.
But heretofore, anybody has been
good enough to ge farmer. The
greatest of all American industries
and the most vital one Is open to any
novice. If man could pay for "for-
ty acres and cow" it was nobody's
business If he derived only a third Of
the. possible revenue from either.
Things seem to be changing. Here
comes Canada with an appropriation
of $10.000,0O0 to be used in the next
ten years for teaching folks how to
farm. Our Lady of the Shows never
took a wiser step than this one. and
Uncle Sam could as well spend $3.50.

question than the producer. one might
expect even compulsory education for

the grades. They lack the spirit and
inspiration that numbers give. So
it is evident Vermont has more high
schools and academies than can be
profitably maintained. There should
be some method or eliminating the
weaker institutions of each class and
making the remainder larger, strong
er and more influential. How it shall
be done is q problem. Doing as much
as they are in furnishing the higher
instruction of the state the
academies should not be entirely
abolished. They already are edu-
eating 71S pupils whose tuition is
paid by the town and might educate
at less expense than the state can
itself, a much larger number if they
were taken from the small and I'M
profitable high schools. But if the
state is to pay any of its educational
funds into these institutions it
should be given a strong representa-
ton in their management in order
to protect itself in the expenditure
of the money. 1t would seem that
a plan might be devised by which
the state or town might be given
such representation in some of our
private institutions so they could
serve the state and be made more
prosperous than they are at present.

beauties of the Green Mountain
state are becoming recognized out

greater and greater numbers are
coming every summer. Vermont is
also waking up to the possibilities,
and viii become wider awake as
the summer jewellers increase in

MUSEUM NOTES
Ludger TOussaint Won the Horton
Prize-The Other Winners

The Horton Prize Contests, which
were held on Wednesday last, were
very successful, especially from the
standpoint of excellence. The gen.
eral average of papers was higher
than ever before, and the interest
shown by the pupils as well as the
closeness of the contest, was quite
remarkable.
In the Prize Winners Division"
Ludger Toussaint, of the freshman
class in the Academy, won the five
dollar gold piece, naming correctly
38 out of the SO birds known. Kath-
crime Boynton, grade eight, Sum-
mer street school, named 80, and
Vera Craig, grade seven, Portland
street school, 81. 1t should be
noted that this was the hardest con-
test ever given at the Museum,
many of the birds being our rarest
warblers, sparrows, hawks and
owls. The pupils eligible to this
division are such fine bird students
that it is deemed necessary that the
contest be a difficult one and the
papers of the students above named
would do credit to any A. o U.
member.
In Division l, the prize was Sc
cured by Stephen Carter, grade
seven, Summer street school, who
named correctly AZ out of so birds.
Master Carter has carried on his
studies without help from any per-
son, taking walks in the fields and
woods and comparing the birds
found there with the mounted speci-
mems in the Museum. Honorable
mention is given to the following:
Pauline Beck, who named AZ; Doris
Perry, 40; Sigrid Eklof, 81; May
Hail., 81; Sterry Waterman, 35;
Helen Cook, 80; and Josephine
Plant, 25.
In Division II, 40 birds were
shown and Mildred Ram, grade six,
Portland street school, named 81
correctly, thus obtaining the prize.
Mildred also won a prize in the
tree contest last year. Honorable
mention was given the following,
several of whom are fourth grade
children and have been on Museum
bird walks for the first time this
year: Eleanor Stone, 35; Helen
Jenkins, 35; Margaret Brooks, 80;
Lena Learmouth, 80; Wendell Nor
ris, 25; Dorothy Tillotson, 81; and
Gladys Buskett, 20.

that one man can transform one

Vermont's New Tax Law

With the completion of the grand
list for 1913, the figures of which are
published elsewhere, the tax payer is
enabled to form an intelligent opin-
ion regarding the merits of Vermont's
New Tax Law, in a local way at
least. The figures show that St.
Johnsbury has increased in the
amount of taxable real estate during
the past year $79,S25. This increase
is a natural one and Independent of
any changes in the law. Last year
the appraised value of personal prop
erty was $2,569,713, but $1,143, $50
of this was exempted from taxation
on account of debts owing, leaving
only $1,426,133 of it taxable. The
total value of personal property
returned this year is not available,
but the amount of personal prop
erty returned for taxation is $685.
23S. So the increase in the amount
of personal property taxed (the dir
ect effect of the new law is $780,
los. This includes all the personal
property except money loaned in
Vermont at a rate of interest not ex-
ceeding five per cent and a very
little property held by the veterans.
This amount probably will not ex-
coed $4,000. So when personal
property is to be taxed its valuation
has decreased approximately $780,
AIS, not a bad showing.
When the location of the increase
in the amount of personal property
is studied it shows the increase has
not affected the farmer so much as
it has the business man and manu-
facturer, whose property is more
largely personal. In this town the
appraisal of property in the village
while outside the village it increased
$47,S55. So it is evident that,
while the farmer has had to put in
his live stock that he formerly had
exempted, on account of debts ow-
ing, the business man and manu-
facturer have been compelled to put
in more than he has and so it will
benefit rather than harm him.
In this town but little relief has
been granted to the borrower, but
it is fair to expect that benefit will
increase. So taken as a whole it
looks as though the new tax law was
getting more equality in the amount
of property taxed, that it should re-
suit in lower tax rate and eventual
ly in cheaper money for the borrow
er. Another thing it shows is a
spirit of honesty in complying with
the law when the valuation of person
al property to be exempted from tax
alton and that returned for taxation
differs as little as it has in st. Johns
bury in the first trial of the new law.

The search for a congressional
lobby conducted by a senate com
mittee is bringing to light some very
active agencies working for and
against proposed legislation but as
yet has found little of the PERM
cious" variety. The publicity given
the methods of some of the interests
will undoubtedly lead to the aban-
donment of them and we hope better
ways of presenting the claims of the
conflicting sides. The distribution
of the arguments of interested
parties under a congressional frank
does not appear right and if it is
stopped it may reduce the postal
deficit that appears so regularly.
