| Regarding Midilebury College, the
| report of the Carnegie Foundation
| stated thar it seemed perfectly clear
| that no state ought to subsidize a
i college like Middlebury, no matter
how good IN institution it may be,
merely for the purpose of enabling it
1
| the institution is owned and control

'any department for the training of
| secondary teachers that has back of
it a state subsidy will in the long run
acquire such prestige and influence
that its graduates will be in command
of tho secondary schools of the state"
In respect to Norwich University the
report stated that "if such military
school is to be conducted, it should he
supported from other sources, ana the
state should apply its own funds to
those direct problems of education in
which every child Is interested, upon
which the intellectual, moral and ma
terial progress of the State depends. "
The report contends that the argu-
ment of the college professors to
maintain the status quo is one to
which the Legislators ought not to
listen.
