sion which would make the final
recommendations. So the knowl-
edge placed before the commission
was secured from a source that in
su:es it's fairness and accurateness.
These facts warrant the statement
that Vermont has never had before
such a valuable and authentic
ground work on which to begin the
structure of an improved educational
system.
The statements by this commission
that the school system of the state
does not educate the children to-
wards the life they are to live, that
children living in rural communi-
ties should have different instruc-
ton than the children in u. ban
communities, that only twenty-three
per cent of the children in the ele-
mentary schools ever reach the SEE
ondary schools, that the course O.
study in the rural schools needs re-
const. uction and their work needs re-
direction and more money should be
spent for the training of teachers,
for expert supervision of the school,
and the transportation of child en- to
central schools, have special weight,
coming as they do from a body of
men representing So much ability
and possessing such thorough
knowledge of the subject We plan
in next weeks issue to say some
thing regarding the division between
the state and the towns the commits
sion would make in the expense o.
public school work and the pro
posed elimination of town lines il
determining the constituency of a
public school.

The question whether or not these
expenditures can be rearranged so
as to allow the use of larger part
of the state revenues for const:u
tive work in the interests of agricul-
ture is a big one. In attempting to
do this a large amount of harm maJ
be done but there would seem to be
an equally great possibility of &C
eomplishing great benefit to the state
as a whole. We do not feel compe-
tent to point the way but will of

The Election Results

Summed up in the fewest words
on Tuesday last the republicans of
Vermont elected Charles w. Gates
governor by 1880 majority over
all competitors, w. P. DILLINGHAM;.
United States senator by a majority
of 8,454 over Charles A. Prouty;
Congressman F. L. Green was 1e-
elected by majority of 1907, Por-
ter H. Dale was elected congress
man in the second district by a ma
jority of 5,145, and in a national
way the republicans reduced the
democratic majority in the House
of Representatives from 147 to
tWenty-four and in the Senate from
seventeen to twelve. Every where
the progressives went. up the fIue
and the republican and democratic
votes were restored to their nearly
normal proportions.
The result is very gratifying to
the republicans. 1t shows what the
party can do when it heads it's state
ticket with a man whom the peo-
pie want rather than a man who
wants the people. 1t is a powerful
rebuke to the methods of misrepre-
sentation adopted by some cand.
dates that naturally would be very
strong and endorses clean politics
for VermOnters. Nationally it is
singing blow to the policies that
render American factories idle and
the dinner pail empty, also the un.
parallel extravaganza of the PAL
now in control of the national reve-
nues. 1t shows a bright possibility
of complete republican success in
1916.
But this republican victory must
not turn the heads of the republi-
can leaders. They must remembe
that the people will not support
their ideas simply because they are
republican and they must expect sup
pot only as far as they can satisf,
the people they are right. Little
can be accomplished in the nationa
legislative body but here in Vernon
he party has full swing and shout,
redeem every pledge completely an
satisfactorily. The most careful in
Iestigation of state expenses Shout
be made so see if the good work al
ready undertaken by the state can
not be continued at reduced expense
and more equitable distribution of
The states income among the differ
ent classes of work can be effected.
If these things are accomplished the
victo.y of last week is only the be-
ginning of the good things coming
TO the republicans and the country
as well.

Education in Vermont.

The next legislature will have
many important subjects before 1t
and one of the most important will
be bills affecting the educational sys-
tenn of the state. The greatly In
creased cost of educational work in
Vermont always challenges thought
but the report made by the special
educational commission which has
made an exhaustive investigation OF
educational conditions brings the
matter before the law makers in a
more serious way. In fact, the re-
port recommends a complete revo-
luton OF Vermont's educational sys-
tenn.
The recommendations, condensed
as much as possible, include con-
solidation of the rural schools, re-
vision of their course of study to
make the instruction suitable for the
children's COL dition of life, the ignor-
ing of town lines i'll the location OF
central schools, the establishment of
junior high schools in each town
with a curriculum adapted to needs
of the children who attend, the es-
adjustment of senior high schools
with a curriculum including special
vocational opportunities as we'll as
preparation for college, thirty six
weeks of school per year. the dis
solution of all incorpo: ated school
districts, increased support for the
state school of agriculture, the train
ing of teachers of agriculture at the
University of Vermont and teachers
for secondary schools at .Middlebury
college, discontinuance of state aid
to the institutions of education ex-
cept for specific work, an inc. ease in
the state school tax from eight t.
ten cents on a dollar of the grand
list, and an increase in the state al
of the common schol education.
Such program is too large fol
discussion in one article and it is
our plan to speak of it in a series
of articles. In fact, it is so large
that the average citizen will ru1
away from it rather than undertake
a careful analysis of it. But let III
first consider the body of men who
have made these recommendations
They are men of affairs. Some stan,
very high in business circles ant
others in the professional world blu
none of them would be specially al
fected by the changes they suggest
So it may be assumed from the frs.
they approached the subject will
out prejudice and brought to thei
task a high deg: ee of ability. Theh
recommendations are based on tn
most complete information of ed
ueational conditions in the state
that has ever been collected. This
information too, was secured through
the employment of educational ex-
perts who reside outside the state
They knew they had no power to
recommend but simply to investigat.
and report the facts to the commits

''You taxpayers can now see whs
Governor Gates is going to be 'ul

Gov. Gates may, and doubtless does

from the influence of any .pTivat

expect that every member of the
incoming legislature will keep him
self free from any ENHANCEMENT with
private interests and legislate for
the best interests of Vermont as a
whole. We do not attempt to spec
ify any issues that may come be
fore the Legislature because we al
confident the members will be abb
to recognize any proposition to
wrong the citizenship of the stat
or unjustly promote private inter
ests. The people of Vermont be-
ieve that corporations should b.
the servant and not the masters
the state and will support any gov

to keep them in that position. Yer.
mont already has laws regulating
public service corporations that ar,

citizens do not propose to yield an.

the people and private interesl
within or without the state and tn
people will stand solidly behind
him in this work.

What the Foot and Mouth Disease
The foot and mouth disease is
an excessively contagious spec
ific fever which attacks the
mouth, feet and udder Of rumi-
mating animals (cattle, goats
sheep, deeT) and swine, and
very rarely may be communi-
Gated to horses. Dairy cows
only, however, are directly con-
cerned at present.
Although seldom fatal. It is
more dreaded than any other
disease which now affects live
stock. 1t causes a rapid and
extreme loss Of flesh and the
cessation of the milk supply,
usually running fits course in 10
to 20 days and entailing a f.
nancial loss of from $40 to SIS
when the affected animal sur
wives.
The first symptom is slobber-
ing or salvation, caused by Bills
ters inside the mouth. Lame
ness follows Immediately,
caused when spittle drops to the
hoofs and affects these extremi-
ties.
Children are likely to con-
tract the disease from drinking
warm milk from infected ami
mails. 1t affects their stomachs
and intestines, often with Sc
rious results.
