A SOURCE OF INFORMATION

Anent the educational discussion on
in Vermont, the people have not only
an occasion, but an opportunity, most
excellent, for becoming familiar with
the history of its colleges. For one OF
these, at least, the story has bene well
written at length, and copies are to
be found in practically every public
library in the State.
Possibly the commission had this in
mind, when, having written in one
sentence: "An institution of no special
distinction they follow it with these
two: Norwich University has sent
forth into lie men who have made his
tory in the army and navy Of the
country and in civil life. Its record
is a proud one"
II is this history which General
Dodge had compiled and published,
and Of which he has just given the
college some seven thousand volumes
and the copyright.

REPUBLICANS ADOPT
REINFORCEMENT
Change in States Representation wiz
Eliminate Many Contests in Con-
x.nftnus

Charles D. Hilles, chairman Of the
Republican National Committee, an
nounced Saturday that the new plan
of representation in the national con-
ventions had been ratified by conven-
tions in enough States to make it
operative in the call for the next ma
tional convention.
The plan provides for adequate rep
resentation in the convention accord
ing to the Republican strength in the
respective States and not according
to the States vote in the electoral coli
lege. and also for the elimination OF
conflicts between rules of the party
and the laws of several States. The
effect of the change will be TO reduce
the total number Of delegates by SO.
The active work Of changing the
proportion of representation began
after the Republican party split with
Col. Roosevelt. 1t is part of the move
ment to induce Progressives TO return
to the fold. The statement made by
Chairman Hilles follows:
"The National Committee provided
in its resolution that the new plan
should not become effective until
officially sanctioned by the Republican
party. Every State convention held
since December has given willing
response except that held in Texas,
which rejected the plan. The Republi'
can conventions which have approved
we're held in the States of
