Colleges Duplicate Efforts

TOO much militarism is the YER
dict on Norwich university. which,
nevertheless. is rated with West
Point as a training school. The com
mission finds it not strong enough in
cher education to receive state aid,
that ii is private Institution ard
that elementary and secondary
schools must be first provided for.
II finds that U. V. NJ, Middlebury
and Norwich are duplicating effort,
for example. in their engineering
courses, and. after reiterating that
the public schools must first be pro
yided for. declares specifically
against scholarships. which are de
clared to be so Objectionable in ten
dency as to leave nothing substantial
in their favor" The commission con
sequently recommends that appropii-
ations for scholarships should not he
made even after the public schools
are provided for.

ted by the university, the commits
sion concludes that Ira Allen was the
perfcient founder of the institution
and not the state. II finds a parallel
in the Dartmouth case, in which that
corporation was held by Chief Justice
Marshall to be private eleemosy-
nary institution.
Old Law Quoted.
II finds that the kings preroga-
tive" doctrine, taken from English
Jurisprudence and invoked in the
brief of the University is not recogniz-
ed in this country and finds support
for this conclusion in the fact that
during the war of 1912 arms were
stored in the university building and
soldiers quartered therein, the cor
poration settling directly with the ma
tional government for rental thereof.
1t also cites the case of President
John Wheeler who claimed eXemp-
ton from taxation because that right
was originally conferred by the state
and could not be revoked for the rea-
son that the university was a private
corporation. The st. Johnsbury
academy cases are also cited.
Use of Federal Appropriation.
As to the misuse of federal appro-
priations, the commission finds that
the appropriations received under
the first Morrill, act QS62) for agri-
cultural experiment stations have
not been improperly expended, but
that under the acts of Congress of
1890 and 1907, "a disproportionately
small part thereof has been applied
to agriculture, Vermont's predomi.
mating industry of life"
1t also finds that the college of
medicine in U. V. NJ. does not per-
form public service sufficient to
warrant its receiving a state appro-
priation, calling attention to the en-
tering class of Is in 1913, only eight
of whom were from Vermont!
The commission lays great stress
on Vermont as an agricultural rather
than an industrial state and quotes
literally from United States census
reports, which show that although
there are more persons engaged in
manufacturing. more capital is invest
ed in farms and more value is added
TO products by agriculture than by.
other manufactures. 1t deplores the
tendency of the schools to draw chill
dren away from the farm.
Capitalization OF Schools
II reiterates that sufficient stress
is not placed in our schools on the
needs of the pupil as member OF
society. rather than as a future stu
dent in some institution of advanced
learning and -deplores the tendency
toward cultured education alone.
Admitting some of the evils OF the
consolidated rural school, the report
urges that they win tend to crystal
lie rural society about the consoli-
dated school as center" as well as
tend toward greater efficiency.
Emphasis is placed on the Carne-
gle Foundations plan for six.and-
six course. six-year course In the
elementary. schools and six-year
course in the high schools, thus
bringing the pupils into the junior
high school at the ages of IL to Is,
rather than marking time in the
18th and Sth grades as is the case
with the eight-and.four system. II
is held that this will induce many
pupils to enter high school who
would drop out at the end of the ele-
mentary school period under the pres
ent system, and more naturally d.
vides the courses according to the
pupils adolescence.

CRUISER
RAINBOW CRIPPLED
Met German Vessels and Had
(. Warm Fight, One Probably
Heard at Coos Bay

Portland, Ore, Nov. 24-After weeks
of silence the mystery surrounding the
activities of the Canadian navy, con
sisting of the gunboat Rainbow, has
come to the surface. According to in.
formation received here today from
sources said to be reliable, she met the
German cruisers Leipsic and Nurnberg
on the high seas and escaped "by the
skin of her teeth" and after large
number of her crew had been wounded.
only through the reinforcement Of the
French cruiser Montcalm.
The Rainbow, according to the story,
met with the Leipsic and Nurnberg
and put up stiff battle although the
odds were much against her. She was
getting the worst of it when the
French cruiser Montcalm appeared on
the scene, and the Germans, after fir
ing few shots, steamed away in the
face of the enemy's superior arma-
ment.
So effective was the German fire
that the Rainbow was completely dis.
abled, the Montcalm being compelled
to tow her into the Canadian naval
base at Esquimalt.
She is said to be in drydock there
now undergoing extensive repairs
while the majority of her crew, wound
ed in the engagement, are in the hos
pital
Due to the strict censorship which
prevails in Canada, the story of the
battle was never made public and only
leaked out through an unguarded state
ment of un Englishman acquainteC
with the facts.
Innsmlch as the cannonading hoart
off Coos Bay several weeks ago hai
never been satisfactorily explained, il
is believed highly probable that thos,
who heard the booming of guns wer,
not mistaken and that it was the en-
gagement between the Rainbow ant
the two German ships.
