The Magnificent Property, SpeedweIl
Farms, offered TO the state for
Educational Purposes

/ The Magnificent Property, Speedwell
Farms, offered 10 the State for
1 Educational Purposes
Lyndonyiile Dee e.
Theodore N. Vail, president Of the
/ American Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
| land proprietor Of the widely-known
Spocdwelj farms at Lyndon, ctfers to
| the State Of Vermont the agricultural
| industrial school for boys at Lyndon
which he established, together with
the speedwell farms, stock, tools and
other equipment, for educational pur
poses. He has sent d letter today to
each member-elect Of the legislature
embodying his offer, tating chat the
property could not be duplicated for
$4,000, Following is a copy Of The
letter.
Dear SIR
Ms purpose in establishing the agri-
cultural industrial school for boys at
Lyndon was to demonstrate the adj
vantage Of such a school as diiierenti-
ated from an Agricultural college
This purpose has been accomplished
and il has been recognized by the
Official acts Of the Legislature. | dc
not intend, nor have / ever intended,
to enter into any competition in such
matters, and far from it to enter into
competition with the state,
| now desire to use my energy and
means to demonstrate the utility,
necessity and advantage of schools for
girls where they may be thoroughly
trained in all the home life industries
and economies, to make good home
and house wives. So far this has not
been taken up by the state, but it is
as necessary to a prosperous and CON
tented rural community that the
homes should be properly and eco
operated as that the farms |
should be.
A demand for agricultural schools
is coming from all parts Of the state.
Farms have been offered for that pur- |
pose. The demand is a healthy one
and it is to be hoped that in time /
every county will support good IN
dustrial school not only for boys but
for girls, but the state is not prepared /
to provide, nor is the demand suilici-
ent, for such number.
The offers to give the land are COM
mendable, but the land and ordinary
farm buildings are but a small part /
Of the necessities Of such school. A
capital expenditure Of from fifty TO
seventy-fve thousand dollars is nee
essary to properly equip such school,
and an annual appropriation of from
twenty to thirty thousand dollars for
operation and maintenance, etc. How
much Of this can be recovered from
tuition, etc, will depend upon the
policy adopted.
One school for technical instruction
Of any kind, properly equipped for ex-
detrimental and demonstration work,
With an ample and competent staff, can
De effective and accomplish results.
The same amount Of money divided
between a number Of schools, none Of
which are either effectively equipped
pr provided with a full and competent
taft Of instructors and demonstrators,
rould be worse than wasted. :.

LESS DOGS: MORE SHEEP

The legislators might take up the
subject Of the worthless dog. Which
is worth the most to the state, the
dog or the sheep? Sheep raising has
been ruined largely through the depre-
dations Of the CANNES. Give us a law
like that in New Jersey, which does
not permit the dog to run loose unless
muzzled and accompanied by his mas
ter, and the sheep raising industry will
have a chance to thrive.-Reformer.

The Dancing Mania.

There is said to. be. a dancing mania in this country that is sweeping everything before it, and the. Argentine tango seems to have absorbed all other danc- es, animal and otherwise, be- cause anything person does on a floor while keeping time to the music is called tango. Danc- ing crazes and customs are not new. In pagan times dancing was the part of every religious exercise. No meeting of wor- shippers was considered com plete until the dancers had danc- ed,. and in Rome a dance that was,not a part of a religious ,cer- emony was lookedupon asa dis grace and a proclamation.
 Early Christianity adopted pagan choregraphic. rites; and devout pallets were danced dur. ing religious ceremonies, with dignified bishops leading in the performance. Laxity and li- cense brought about an inter dict, and the church abandoned the dance as a part of it's ritual. A. A.-veritable. mania. of. dancing broke out at Aix-la- -Chapelle in
 1874, and it remained through out Germany until the seven teenth century. The dancers were actually crazy. They saw

Three Interesting Services.

InEcc xuCCl C0SAA6H "
 DrgJ. P. Robertson, president
 of the Arkansas College, preach ed in the Presbyterian church at II a. m. Sunday morning on the interesting subject, Christian Education"
 Dr. Robertson is a polished speaker and carried ringing con- viction to the heart of everyone
 present. Dr., Robertson, is the president of the : Arkansas Col
 leee. He is in every way ad-
 mirably adapted to his great
 mission in life as a teacher. E At 3 o'clock in the aftern@
 Dr. Robertson was introduced by Vice President w. D. McLain of the Mems Forward Movement as the speaker for the happy occa- V sion. In language well select ed and skillfully used he i'm pressed the audience with the fact that soul winning is the chief business of the Christian. We must use wisdom in carry ing out the great commandment and if we do we are counted a. mong the number of the wise .ot the earth. It was an inspiring address long to be remembered by. the members of the Mems Forward Movement in Newport:
 A delightful union service was enjoyed last night in the Metho- dist church.. Dr. Robertson again was introduced as the mes- senger. In his usual happy and convincing tone and pleasant manner he delivered wonderful sermon on the "Inspiration of the Bible". Dr. Robertson is a fearless preacher of the funda- mentals in religion of the Christ of Bethlehem He show ed how innumerable prophecies covering centuries centered in the supreme sufferer of the hu- man race. Today the subject he discussed so beautifully is mot only a timely subject, but is also a subject that demands the profoundest thought of every citizen of this old universe. The time is not far distant when the Lord, Jesus, who was the re- Ejected Christ, will be the victo- rious Prince and shall live in the hearts of every grateful and lib erty loving soul

visions, screamed, foamed at the mouth, cursed the priests and danced until they exhausted themselves, or until they dashed out their brains against the walls in perfect frenzy of ex- citement. These people were evil spirits, and exorcism was used on them, with more or less success, until Paracelsus, the most eminent, charlatan and ac- complished. physician of the age, applied cold water to the -aNct- ed,s and thus. brought them to their senses. -e. -. :..f,. ,.
 This mania has, long since dis appeared, but. every. now F and then we see evidences. of it in what is known today as the St. Vitus dance. The tangoRis not danced by crazy people, but they cannot, be-. called. exactly wise who dance it until they fall from exhaustion, or drop dead from, overexertion. - Memphis News-Scimitar. - L ..z.
 What Churches Do For Us. :,
 Show me a place where, there isn't any meetin' houses and where preachers is never seen, and I'll show you a place where old hats air stuffed into broken winders, where the child ren air dirty and ragged, where gates have no hinges, where the women air slipshod, and where maps of the devils wild land air painted upon mems shirt bosoms with tobacco jooce. That's what I'll show you. Let us consider what the preachers and churches do for us before we abuse 'em.-Artemus Ward.

 On the other hand, in counties
 where the roads, have been i'm proved, the schools are easily reached, the average attendance
 is greater, the efficiency large ly increased and economic con- solidation made possible. ? Regu- Jar. attendance at, school means consistent and regular growth of both school and pupil, and con- Esolidation of schools means a maximum of efficiency at a min- lmum of cost. It is noteworthy that there is a marked tendency for the consolidated school to become the social and intellectu- al center of the community. Nest modernarural schoolhouses are so constructed as to serve the community as gathering places for various kinds of pub- lie meetings, and where vans are used to convey the children to school during the day, they are frequently pressed into service to haul the farmers and their wives to institute work, lectures or entertainments at the school house. The consolidated school becomes a sort of community center, to which all educational and social activities converge, and in order that it may prop erly perform that function all of the Highways leading to it should be so improved as to render it readily accessible throughout the year.-Memphis News-Scimitar.

Roads And Schools.

The rural population is more willing to support better schools today than,at-any previous time. It is being realized that all, edu- ,cational activities or agencies must be more or. less, correlated and, more than all else, that they must be made accessible to the children.
 In many counties where bad roads prevail. most of. the schools are of the anticipated one-room variety. They are usu- ally located along bad roads, which, during the winter, when the schools are usually in ses- sion, become so nearly impassa- ble as to make it difficult for the children to reach them. This condition causes irregular at tendance and restricts the edu- cational opportunities of the child: Not only this, but it of- ten impedes the economic con- solidation of these smaller schools into larger, stronger graded schools with high school courses, directed by compe- tent principal and corps of teach CTS, according to the office of public roads, United States de- partmert of agriculture.
