THE EDUCATIONAL REPORT.

THE EDUCATIONAL REPORT.
(From the Randolph Herald and News)
The report Of the commission appoint
ed by Governor Fletcher to consider
changes in the educational system OF
Vermont, made public last week is
virtual endorsement of the Carnegie sur
vey, whose findings were put forth last
winter. It Is summarized in another
column This report goes to the legis-
lature, which will act according to It's
pleasure The whole scheme proposed
by this commission Is most radical in
scope. 1t virtually turns everything up
side down and begins over, proceeding
on the theory that about all we have
been doing for q hundred years Is wrong
This may be true but Vermont Will
first have to be Shown" Such an edu-
cational system as here mapped out eX-
lists nowhere but in the fertile brain or
ina gination itself. A scheme that rests
upon the cornerstone of universal. com
pulsory agricultural training. with the
cultural idea put far into the back
ground; that takes away from the COM
runity substantially all control of one
of the things nearest and dearest to it.,
puts everything into the hands of a state
board full of it's own theories and lack
| ny in knowledge of local conditions;
| that aboishes the present high schools,
which have been nurtured and maintain
| ed by the best thought and liberal
support of over 50 cities and towns: that
exalts some of them TO senior" schools
and relegatcs others to "junor" school;
that sends all students who desire to ad-
vance beyond the rudments away from
their homes, unless they chance to live
| in the immediate locality of a senior
school; that chops off the head OF the
system entirely to leave the State. I'M
less the "privately owned" colleges, with
| State aid removed, can manage to sur
vve and compete successfully with the
big ones outside such a system as this
Will. we imagine, have to undergo con-
siderable criticism ere it is adopted by
Vermont. In our opinion the report has
its own weight. It would have been
better to have undertaken certain modi-
fications whose urgency is patent to
everybody rather than so much. The
commission has advised some things
that should be done and, if not burdened
with too much else, probobly will be.
a series Of hills embodying various fea-
lures would be more likely to run the
gauntlet than single act covering a
complete system framed on the Car
lnegie Foundation theories.

RACE 9.
COWS MUST PAY THEIR WAY
Tabs Are to BE Kept upon Them by
the Dairy Testing Association.

tFrom the Fair Haven Era)
Great good will result to the farmers
of this vicinity according to Henry Jen-
nings, agent of the Rutland county farm
bureau through the organization of the
Western Vermont Dairy Testing associa-
ton by the dairymen residing in Fair
Haven, West Haven. Hampton and Poult-
ney. There are about &c herds and 500
cows owned by members Of the associa-
ton.
The purpose of the associa ton is to
determine the milk or butter value of
he individual cow in each herd. A COM
plete record e ach COW is kept for each
month in Il ear. At the end of the
'ear 1t will be possible to determine the
cows value and whether It pays to keep
her.
Records show the cows name and num-
Der. Its breed, age, weight, description,
giving Its distinguishing features. and
many other particulars. 1t will also aid
In showing the dairymen what feeds are
most profitable and encourage him 10
raise more of his own feeds
During the testing period the record
shows the number Of pounds OF milk
daily, number Of pounds OF butter fat and
the price Of butter fat; cost OF grain, cost
OF roughage. total cost of feed feed cost
OF one pound of butter fat. feed cost of lOO
pounds Of milk and the profit and loss Of
upkeep of each COW.
The association has secured the services
of j. n BlOndln of Burlington, an expert
tester for the year. and he will spend one
day each month with each herd. His OBJ
servat tons will enable him to make many
suggestions to the farmer as to the I'M

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS

WHAT'S A MORATORIUM
CF'rom the Rutland Herald)

The frequent use of the word mora
torium' in connection with the British
financial crisis gives timeliness TO the
very simple definition in the Standard
distionary:
Moratorium: A period during which
an obligor has n legal right to delay
meeting an obligation, especially such a
period granted in an emergency
The word comes from the Latin
'morari,' to delay and has been more
freely defined Is a period during which
no one Is Obliged to pay his debts.
The combination of sounds suggests
to the layman something between a
morgue and sanatorium. but the mean

WHAT OUR AE|GHBORs SAY
A Fitting Time to Test the Progress
sivencss of the Republican
Party in Vermont.
tFrom the Enosburg standard)

Unless all signs fall the reactionary
wing of the Republican party proposes to
carry out its will in the coming republi-
can State convention and put Percival
w. Clement across as the party's candi-
date for the governorship.
Clement, the millionaire, whose interests
and associations are foreign to Vermont,
who belongs to the Morgan and Mellen
school of business and finance, whose
connection with the Rutland railroad wa
typical of that kind of railroad manipu-
ton which is being justly reoukcd
throughout the country, who has persist
entity and bitterly opposed the progressive
policies and measures which have been
secured in Vermont and which have been
endorsed by Vermonters, who a few years
ago bolted the party to satisfy a personal
ambition. whose idea of economy in State
affairs was exempllfcd by his contesting
even to the highest court in the land the
law enacted by the Vermont Legislature
which taxes savings deposits In national
banks and brings into the State treasury
$4,000 per year of which the State would
have been deprived had not the Supreme
Court thwarted Mr. Clements desire to
escape a just and reasonable tax-this IS
the man who will be the republican
standard bearer If the stand-pat element
of the party acting for the special inter-
ests succeed in their present purpose and
designs.

gressive measures and particularly or
those placed upon the statute books with
| the approval of the people during the adj

my Of the direct primary, no more fitting
executive could be chosen II 1t is the wish
of the Vermont voters to undo the pro-
gressive work OF the past to give rein and
license to the corporate interests and to
go backward instead of forward in State
| affairs.

strength and sincerity of Vermont pro-

PRIZES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.

Boys and girls Of Vermont are given
another opportunity. The Vermont For
estry association offers three prizes for
the three best collections of forest tree
seeds exhibited at the Juvenile industrial
exhibit at Windsor, October 27-29. The
circular, giving the details Of this, Is
Just out, and is being sent broadcast
over the state. The first prize Is a tent
such as Is used by a great many for
esters for trips where II Is necessary to
go light. The second prize is camp
outfit consisting of a small pack, camp
lamp, and camp axe. The third prize,
which is 1000 pine seedlings, Is of less
value at present, but II properly handled
will continually improve in value The
exhibits will be rated 10 per cent on the
number of kinds of seed presented. %
per cent. on the exhibit, Is per cent. on
the report.
A contest Of this character strikes at
the very root of our future timber sup
ply. and should be encouraged in every
possible way. The present boys and girls
are going to be handling our wood lots
and timber tracts in very few years.
They must understand how to cut them
in such a way as to get natural repro
duction Of the most valuable and fast
est growing trees. When our boys know
where and how the seeds Of these trees
are produced and what kind Of soil
moisture and light conditions they must
have to grow in. it will be an easy mat
ter for them to learn to cut properly.

ton blanks, and report form may be
