Education.

OF late peculiar interest in our system
of public education has been stimulated
bv the Investigations and report OF the
Vermont educational commission author
lied bv the last general assembly. With
out opportunity for mature consideration
of this comprehensive report in its entire
tv we deem specific recommendations
relative to changes in our educational
system premature and unwise. We ear
nestlv commend the work of the commits
sion to the thoughtful attention of the
legislature, and of all our people, to the
end that such legislation may be enacted
as will bring public education in Vermont
to the highest possible point OF efficiency,
having regard not only to the industrial
requirements of the state, but also to the
DEVELOPMENT of well-rounded citizen
ship. Especially do we emphasize con
sideration of our common schools which
are Justly recognized as the foundation
of our educational system. III Is lmpera-
tive that they be given ample financial
support. equitably distributed and wisely
expended; that instruction therein be IN
the hands OF competent teachers, and
that the courses of study be such as TO
equip the pupil for useful citizenship
without sitting his aspirations for higher
learning. We commend the policy here
tofore adopted of introducing courses IN
vocational training in our secondary
schools. and urge such further extensions
thereof as may be expedient.

the radiators should be heated, and Just
how the steak should be prepared, and
when all was ready she put the cover on

showed how it pays for itself in the

Women Like School.

PROSPECT IS FOR
Big COTTON YIELD
Crop. However, May Not Fulfil
Promise, Owing to Low
Price.
LARGE ACREAGE OUTTURN

Naturally the chief topics OF interest IA
cotton circles yesterday were the two Gov
eminent reports on the crop. one by the
Census Bureau. giving tho amount Of cot
ton ginned 20 September %. and the other
from the Crop Reporting Bureau Of the
Department ~ Agriculture on the condi-
ton Of the crop
Both reports would have been consd-
cred bearlsh II the market had been open
and IL conditions throughout the trade had
not made 1t clear that extraordinary fac
tors must be taken into consideration.
There is every indication that the produc-
ton Is going to be close to the record. AS
a matter OF fact, II surrounding conditions
were normal many veterans In the trade
would not hesitate 20 pronounce the crop
the largest ever grown But there are
certain modifying circumstances. and Il
would surprise no one X the final ginning
report should show only about 10000, 900
bales. exclusive Of llntcrs. and. moreover,
II Is regarded as doubtful n more than
100000 bales are marketed II prices
remain low.
The Census Bureau placed the amount OF
OF cotton ginned to September at 3Sl,s63
bales, compared with 3.2i6,Gtj bales last
year and 3616.594 IN the bumper crop
season OF l9il-12 The ginning Nas par
ticularly heavy IN the Eastern belt, with
Georgia breaking all records. In fac,
every state in the East shows signs OF
having come close To the record. The kin-
ming from September 10 Septcmber % Is
almost exactly the same as IN l9li-i7, or
approximately 1905 900 bales
The big ginning figures came as some
thing OF a surprise as Il had been be
leved that considerable cotton had been

The condition report, while little
