most striking feature OF the DAYS OF.
hcial news Is the candid admission
! by the Austrian government OF the
defeat OF the Austrian army in Seryi.
and apparently of the abandonment
OF its third attempt to invade the ter.
ritory OF its small slav neighbor.
While attributing the failure to the
lenemy's superior force. as all govern
ment bulletins explain failures. the
Austrian war office announces plain.
ly an extended retirement and heavy
losses.
New decisions and measures con
seGuently will be taken To repel the
0h'hiys says Aut AuftFldn statement.
Apparently that means that the
Austrian army directed against Ser
via VIII assume defensive line.
Against its repulse Austria balances
the occupation of Belgrade as an as
set TO the good.
The Servians claim TO be pressing
home their victory with more cap
lures Of prisoners, and TO have driven
part of the invading army across the
Drina river. Moreover. they express
confidence that they are about to re-
take the capital and expeI the in
vaders from Servian territory.
Progress Less Definite
The progress of the war in northern
Hungary is less definite. Sundays

equal to that of the Austrian bulletin,

the German and Austrian arms are en-
countering in south Poland and in Ca

to attend whichever state college
they wish. He Believed this would
stimulate secondary schools to pre-
pare their students better.
There is no college domination of
secondary schols in Vermont further
than the imitation of the part of a
college graduate of some favorite in
structor in college. If the depart
ment Of pedagogy is withdrawn Yer
mont will be producing lot of teach
ers who can not secure a certificate
in other states. In other words 1t
must put up with the undesirables.
The central state board should
know how the money given the col
leges is spent. They might properly
suggest what lines of work should
be done with state money in the diff
ferent institutions and avoid dupli-
cation of work. The ideals of the
college will be wherever they have
to go for their money. III Vermont
colleges have to 60 to Wall Street for
their money hey will teach their pu-
pills for Wall Street. If it comes
from Vermont the ideals and work Of
Vermont colleges will be for Yer
mont. We hope for a continuation
of state aid that we may continue to
send into Vermont communities
young men and women educated and
consecrated to the needs of Vermont
communities.

town is to help a library il must own
it. Why isn't it good public policy
to assist educational institutions al
ready endowed with private benefac-
tions and enable them to perform de-
finite educational service for the state
A town may have an academy build
ing presented by some public spirited
man and it is better policy for the
town to supplement that gift with
town support than to insist on owning
any building for the purpose of Civ
ing a high school education.
Why isn't the same true of the col
Ieges? He believed it was a good
policy for the state to make con-
tract with them to educate a certain
part of the young people or to edu-
cate for some specific purpose and to
see it is well done. The state should
give the colleges definite sums and
receive definite amounts of educa-
ton. He cited how this was done
in several states and especially In
England.
Vermont is not estopped from do
ing something for higher education.
If the colleges are not doing good
work for the state they should not
be aided but if they are they are en-

has been giving a certain number Of
state scholarships and a good many
deserving boys have taken advantage
of them and been through college
when without them it would have
been impossible. An unworthy ap-
pointment is the exception rather
than the rule. New England folks
believe in education and a lot of
young people in the rural sections
want the opportunity to get an equip
ment equal to that of the city boys
and girls To such young people
should dislike to say 81 am sorry
but I can't help you. In New Hamp-
shire they have $4,000 a year for
Dartmouth. In New York 5000
state scholarships, but young man,
you had the misfortune to be born
in Vermont and Vermont will not
help you" I don't believe this
would be right. These young men
want to prepare themselves for mas
tership and they ought to have the
chance.
