|respondence between Chairman Howard
Elliott of the New Haven and j. 7.
Morgan q Co. of New York relative to
the connection of the bankers with the
railroad. Much more has been heard
of the "looting" of the railroad than
of the efforts to conduct it as legiti
mate business enterprise. Since the
Prouty report there has been good
deal of speculation as to what became
of the millions that vanished into thin
air." The Morgan correspondence is not
thrilling to the sensation seekers. Meth
er is the statement of Mr.. Oakleigh
Thorne relative to the purchase of the
New York, Westchester & Boston.
The important thing, however, is that
the public has before it statements show
ing the bankers side of the railroads
financing. 1t is a sign of progress that
these men have come to admit that the
public has legitimate interest in their
affairs. The statements will be subject
ed to expert examination, official and
unofficial. The whole story of the New
Haven transactions could not possibly be
worse than the imaginations of the par
TALLY informed have pictured. The

ognize that the time had come for it to

Commissioner of Education Finley
Hadn't Read Full Carnegie Report.

as favoring the Carnegie Foundation Re-
port on Education in Vermont. 1t now
appears that Commissioner Finley does
not approve the recommendation that
state aid to colleges be discontinued as
is clear from the following correspond
ence.

NV dear Doctor Finley: You have
been quoted in the paper of Vermont as
approving the recent report of the Car
negie Foundation and its recommenda
tions as to education in Vermont.
note that the address in which this APP
proyal was expressed was delivered to
the school district superintendent of
New York state and | infer that You
may have been thinking only of the
recommendations OF the Foundation as
to state organization and elementary
education The Carnegie report, how
ever, recommends that Vermont discon
time all state aid to higher education,
including scholarships for Vermont
students which have been maintained
in the three colleges of the state for
nearly thirty years.
knowing your hearty approval of the
recent system OF state scholarships
adopted by the state of New York and
your generous sympathy toward youth
in all small colleges, as well as toward
such colleges themselves, | cannot be-
lieve that you would take the position
that Vermont should become the only
state in the nation which offers no as
sistance in any form to youth who de-
sire higher education. Would you be
willing to reassure me on this point
Faithfully yours,
