SCHOOL SYSTEM CONDEMNED.

The report of the Vermont educational
commission. printed in another column,
Is a more scathing arraignment of the
school system of the state than the recon-
mendations of the Carnegie foundation.
which created n furore when made pub
lie few months ago.
The rural schools are condemned on the
ground that the teaching is unsuitable for
daily life and mostly preparatory for sec
.ondary schools. The teaching in the sec
ondary schools is pronounced still more
unsuitable, mostly preparatory for the
higher Institutions and therefore of bene-
fit to but one-tenth of the pupils
The University of Vermont, AIiddleburv
college and Norwich university are de
cared to be private institutions and not
entitled to state aid
Recommendations include the consolida-
ton OF rural schools, the establishment of
junior high schools to teach commercial
subjects, domestic science, manual train
| ing and agriculture, to the end that they
may be made finishing schools for life in
case the pupil goes no farther.
| The dscontinuance of the normal
schools in Johnston and CastIeton is adj
vised, and the development of training
courses in secondary schools Is urged for
the purpose for training teachers for the
elementary schools and earlier years of
Junior high school. The report favors an
increase in the school year to 36 weeks.
and agrees with the Carnegie report for a
SIX years course in the elementary
schools, and a six-year course in the high
schools, thus bringing the pupils into the
Junior high schools at the age of II to
IL, rather than marking time in the 18th
and 18th grades, as is the case with the
eight and four SYSTEM All of the higher
institutions in Vermont are criticised. and
stress is laid on their duplication of effort
For revenue the commission recommends
| % 10 per cent rather than per cent
tax; CD direct appropriation of $3.50.
1000; CD income from permanent schoo
fund, totaling substantially $75O,OOO Dis
ltribution tables are appended and. the his
tory of the state school funds is given il
detail
The finding of the commission that to,
much stress is laid upon preparation fo
college, when only a small fraction. of tn,
pupils will ever go to college, is in accord
ance with the argument which The Re
former and other papers have made 70
years.
The report is certainly a strong docu
ment, and it is to be hoped that it vii
be carefully studied, and that eventuan
a good number of the recommendation
will be adopted. Our boys and girls al
the states greatest asset, and the aim c
our educational policy should be to fl
them for active, everyday life-in othe
words to make them efficient citizens.

A PROSPEROUS STATE.

Oklahoma was opened to public set
Element only % years ago, but it al
ready has population of nearly two
millions and its resources have been de
velOped with surprising rapidity Its
cotton crop last year was valued at
$55,000,000, its wheat crop at *41,-
100000, and its corn crop at $37 ,OO0,-
600. In addition to this, it is second
in the list of oil-producing states, it,
annual output of coal is vailed at near
y eight millions of dollars, and it has
six thousand miles of railroad. The peo-
pie of Oklahoma have progressive and
somewhat startling ideas as to popular
government, as was demons trated when
the constitution they adopted came to
be considered in connection with the
question of admission as a. state, but
they have at the same time given great
attention to public education, a special
| ty having been made of substantial
impressive and at the same time con
venient school buildings If a schoo
system can be built up on the seal,
contemplated, the people of the STATE
will be educated to the point Wher
| where they can take an intelligent par
in the direction of public affairs.

Essex Junction has got sand enough

Vermont cannot really come to it's own
until it has hotels enough to attract
people to it. There are some good ones,
and others are slowly being built; but
the increase in them is too slow to be

There 5 a reason - whether it s a
good one or not-whv no more hotels
are being built in Vermont. And it s
the same reason that explains the pref

There are, of course, exceptional cases,

not that she did not kill Calmette, nor
that she was insane as would inevitably
