PINDELL's DECLINATIoN.

Henry NJ. Pindell of Peoria, Illinois,
gains new respect by refusing to accept
the ambassadorship to Russia under cir
cumstances such as attended the prelim.
inarics to his appointment. So far as
the jury of the public is concerned, there
never has been any convincing presenta
tion made which was powerful enough
to refute the charge that the tentative
offer of the st. Petersburg post was
made, not by President Wilson himself,
but by others with seeming authority,
more as p-youon-the- back honor
arium than as selection of the man
whom the government proposed to cor
tinue in the position as real ambas-
sador. Under those conditions, it was
rather uncomfortable that Mr.. Pindell
should care to accept the appointment
after il was actually made by the presi-
dent and confirmed by the Senate. So
there is little surprise in the announce
ment just revealed by President Wilson
that Mr.. Pindell has declined to take the
st. Petersburg post.

CURRENT COMMENT
Not a Political Organization.

"The young business and professional
men of st. Adams, who have formed an
Organization TO work for the betterment
of their city, can do very effective work
| Just rs long as they leave politics alone !;
tunity in st. Adams. as we'll as in any
other community in Vermont, to operate
along civic lines without branching out
into politics. They are to be commended
for their public-spritedness, and they
deserve the cooperation of all the people
of that community along the lines mem
toned above. The city should be better
off as result Of their effort, and, at
least, there will be a better spirit even
though there is little perceptible inn
provement in material things. VI Barre
Times.
The organizers of the st, Adams Bus
mess and Professional Mems association
have no idea OF branching into politics,
and, as The Times points out, it viii be
wrong for them to do so. They are Of
the mind that city government should be
divorced from politics. Their aim is to
promote the general welfare of ST.
Adams and they recognize that there is
ample opportunity to Operate along
civic lines" Unquestionably they viii
show interest in local affairs and will do
what they can to bring about better
day, and, as they believe in divorcing
politics from municipal affairs, they
probably won't go off on tangent in
this regard. Their meetings will nu-
doubtedly become the clearing house for
new ideas and ideas are what make the
world move.-St. Adams Messenger.

THE VERMONT EDUCATIONAL sI1.
UATIoN-THE MEDICAL COLLEGE.

Doubtless there will be some excite
ment in college communities of Vermont
when to-day's supplement on college
subsidies" is perused. The recommends
tions in each case are so drastic that
each should be considered very carefully
by the voters of Vermont before it is
approved or rejected. And while the
people are reading the report, it should
be borne in mind that the findings arc
the results of investigation by the Car
negie Foundation investigators and are
not the conclusions of the Vermont state
educational commission. At the same
time the Investigators are to be given
credit for being honest in their efforts
to reach fair conclusions as the situa
ton appears to them. There are some
features of this latest report which APP
pear of doubtful application in Vermont,
as indeed there were similar features in
previous supplements containing the find
ings of these special Investigators.
For instance, il seems decidedly open
to question whether the best interests
of Vermont would be conserved by abol-
ishing the only medical college in the
state and making Vermont, from the
medical standpoint, simply the appen-
dage of the Harvard Medical school or

President Wilson got away neatly
from the women who besought him at
the White House yesterday to lend bis
influence to the "votes for women" cause,
but it is rather surprising to those who
have noted his independence in other
matters that he should have professed
himself so bound down to his party as
he told the women delegates. he was
bound. In previous instances, President
Wilson has shown himself to be above
any party, and not subservient to any
party but rather that he was president
of the whole people of the United States,
His attitude in the present case is, there
fore, quite startling change.

So, in the same way, do natives II
many parts Of India depend for food

The trees are so highly esteemed that

that a single tree viii yield from 200
to 400 pounds of flowers. The Parsees

ter Of which has little sympathy with
Vermont or Vermont conditions. If Yer
mbnt's only medical college were to be
abolished, the state would lose all its
medical individuality and become depend
ent for its inspiration in medical Sci
ence and practice on another state or
another country; it would remove one of
the strongest indirect supports to the
work of the state board of health; it
would, by indirection, hurt the work OF
the state laboratory of hygiene, as all
these agencies become stronger as they
work in unison; indeed, it would, in our
opinion, tend to lessen the attention paid

mont would appear to be anchoring it
self forever in medical science and leay-
ing the fight to someone else, If the

just at the time when it gives the most
promise of fulfilling its mission.
Moreover, it seems to us that the in
vestigators, while admitting that the
medical college at Burlington ranks well
with the institutions of its class, did not
take into consideration seriously enough
the fact that the medical college is just
passing through a very important transi-
tional stage in raising to a marked de-
gree the standard for admission, so that
for the time-being the attendance has,
of necessity, fallen off. 1t should be ex-
planned to the people of Vermont clear
ly that in the past two years, the re-
quirements for admission to the medical
college have been raised from mere prep
aration in high school to preparation
which shall have included at least one
years regular college work. This great
change, of course, had marked effect
on attendance, cutting out those who
were not fitted, according to modern
standards, for beginning medical train.
ing. The investigators argue that the
attendance, having shown loss during
these two periods, does not give promise
of reaching former figures, or figures
which would make il an economic success
to continue the school. In that it is
arguing merely from theory, as no ono
knows whether the attendance will con-
tinue to drop or get back to the numbers
which were attracted by the hit -or-miss
kind of admission requirements. Certain
il is that the standard of the medical
college is being greatly raised, thus max

pared physicians, while the clinical adj

they were in former years as the hos.

Vermont's medical college is not so for
