The Educational Report.

A summary of the report submitted to
Gov Fletcher by the Vermont educa-
tional commission has been made pub
lie. While it does not give a complete
idea Of what the commission has found
and recommended, il does reveal the
wide investigation made and the import
ance OF the changes proposed IN Yer.
mont's educational system. Should all
the recommendation be fully considered
BY the next legislature there would be
little use in calling for sixty day SEES
sion as the framing of laws TO put the
system into effect could not be hastily
done, 1t is probable the commission has
found and recommended too much, that
the legislature viii not be able to act
on all the suggestions. But that does
not detract from the Importance OF the
commissions work nor relieve the press
from as full and intelligent discussion
of it as possible.
The report is bound to arouse very
active opposition. First the college and
universities of the state viii make an
active fight for the large appropriation
they have been receiving from the state.
Possibly the impression will be created
that the commission opposes any state
aid to these institutions. 1t does so Tar
az the granting of state scholarships and
direct appropriations are concerned, but
il suggests that the state have certain
forms of education furnished by the
higher institutions of the state for a
definite sum, for instance the education
of teachers for Vermont schools.
The two remaining normal schools of
the state will, of course, be well repre-
sented at the legislature in fight to
continue as state benefciaries. For many
years it has been realized by thoughtful
persons that the normal schools were
not worth what they cost the state but
the men back of them have succeeded in
saving them. The fight will be renewed
this session with the additional force OF
the commissions verdict.
Further Capitalization of the public
schools will be opposed to some extent
but there is no questio about the SUI
periority of schools OF suitable size over
small schools with only one or two
pupils in a class.
Another source of opposition will be
started by the proposed increase of ex-
pense of the system proposed by the
commission over the present system.
For the year 1913 the state paid for
transportation, supervision, normal
schools, universities and college, teach
ers' meetings, etc. S24l .596.75. The
commission would have the state pay
about $4,000 a year exclusive Of the
institutions Of higher education. Such
lump as this is sure to cause in
ouirv and hesitation on the part OF the
thrifty.
This article has sought to make clear
only the objections the plan Of the com
mission will meet That Is only one side
Of the case. There is much that will ap-
peal to the people in it, but space VIII
