oath that made him Governor Of
Georgia ibis eyes were filed with
tears. and those who knew the story
OF the Book. knew why.
The bond of affection between the
Governor and his father Is deep and
sincere. The spirit Of mutual admir-
alton and respect is marked and
mighty well worth noting.
'One reason why Jack is Govern
or to-day" said the major his father.
"is because he always has been the

"Of course, give fun praise to
my predecessors In this Once They

START EDUCATIONAL SURVEY
Experts from Carnegie Foundation to
search along New Lines in
Vermont.

Moutpe'ia: March 2G.-Judge John II.
Watson, chairman Of the commission 70
Investigate the educational system and
conditions of Vermont has issued the fol-
loving statement regardiug the line Of
work which Is being taken up:
The educational commission, appointed
under Joint resolution Of the General
Assembly, was empowered and directed
to inquire into the entire educational sys-
TEN and condition of the State, including
the institutions of higher learning ana
the primary and secondary schools In
pursuing this inquiry the commission
decided upon an educational survey of
the State, an expert searching after all
facts, statistical and otherwise. bearing
upon educational matters. This procedure
is something of an Innovation in this
country, but was used with brilliant sue
cess in England by Professor Sadler now
vice-chancellor of the University of Leeds,
his work marking an epoch in con-
temporary English education. In the
judgment of some of the foremost educa-
tors this method is peculiarly suited to
the solution of the problems confronting
this commission, and seems to be along
the line of what was contemplated by
the Legislature, for the resolution pro-
yidcs for unemployment by the com
mission of expert assistance. The COM
mission has secured the services of the
most expert educational searchers-after-
facts in the country.
The work of this educational survey is
under the direction of DIR. Henry S, Prlch-
eft, president of the Carnegie Founda-
| ton for the Advancement of Teaching,
| the work of the survey being organized
under the general supervision Of DR..
| Irichett and Prof Edward c, Elliott of

| expert investigators of the first rank are

schools and academies, and Prof. NJ, u
Iillcgas of Columbia University, the elc-
montary schools, especially those in on
for the rural sections of the state. This

POOR MAPLE SUGAR SEASON
Wrong Weather WIN Cause Shortage
In south OF state.

Bellows Falls, March 23.-Maple syrup
and sugar makers in this locality are n
disappointed lot of men. The season Is
a failure and nowhere near the usual
amount of the Vermont product will go
to lovers of the delicacy this spring.
few owners of lots tapped their trees
the week before last and others began
work last week. Wednesday showed q
good run OF sap, but that evening the
weather was mild. rain began to fall and
the sap stopped running Rain continued
through yhursday and Friday, and tho
ground did not freeze during the night,
and Friday cold wind blew all day,
stopping the flow.
The syrup is selling for sl.2j gallon
and sugar is selling for sl.25 for five
pound pals. the same price as last year
but an advance is probable.
