EDUCATIONAL BILL
UNDER DISCUSSION


Vermont, men who have attained high
pos.u0ns have done 80 not because OF
the educational system, but IN spite OIL
IL. He pleaded for better buildings, bet
ter teachers and b,tter training, lie
would limit the vocational training so
that il would be optional with the young
people TO choose rs they wished for q
vocational exercise or for college ca
reer At present, the speaker said there
are about per cent. OF those trained IN
high school for college, who enter I've
advocated the adoption of the junior high
school and also for more county scholar
ships and not place the matter of selec-
tions in the hands Of politicians, but al
low anyone to choose the place OF learn-
ing.
Not favoring normal schools, he be-
lieved that in their stead there should be
teacher training courses; II normal
schools are to be retained, why not es-
tablish more of them2 He thought the
bill unfair in some respects but notwith'
standing it contained sections which he
firmly believed in.
Superintendent Stone Declined to Talk.
Superintendent of Education Mason 5,
stone was called upon to speak but de-
clined, referring the chairman to the
chairman of the educational commission.
One High School Described.
II. d. Ryder of Bellows Falls, former
member of the state board of education,
arose to make known his views on what
he termed "alarmable ignorance on the
part of some people in the state" of the
teachings of the high school. He told OF
the high school in his own town, where
not only were the students prepared for
college but for business life as well.
Wouldn't Rob Peter to Pay Paul.
Henry Cushman of Rochester said that
he objected to being told that because
Vermont is an agricultural state that it
must make farmers. Farmers, he as
serted. make themselves. He also
thought that the state should not take
money from one department to devote
to another. The bill, while it contains
excellent features, must be considered as
whole He also believed that the peo-
Die should say how much, when, and for
what they were taxed.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.--Interven.
tion OF President Wilson TO heal
the growing breach among Demo
cratic senators over the reelection
OF Senator Clarke. OF Arkansas, as
president pro tenpore. and over
cloturc proposals, was imminent to-
day. Fear that the family feuds
may develop into open warfare gave
rise to reports today that the presi-
dent would urge the factions to get
together. The senate Democrats
resumed their caucus with dead
locks on both questions.
N the caucus fails TO agree upon
a cloture plan. Senator Owen and
other advocates served warning to-
day they would carry the fight to
the senate floor. expecting assist
ance from Progressive Republican
senators. Hope OF adopting a bind
ing pledge upon all Democrats was
practically abandoned. Anti-cloture
senators also threatened 10 bolt the
caucus II an attempt was made to
bind them.
In the fight over president pro
iempore, Senator O'Gorman. leading
the fight for Clarke, predicted his
election. Senator Reed wns equally
confident OF Senator Pomerenes
election. The vote IA expected to
be close.
That the president would not takc
sides In the Clarke-Pornerene battle
was authoritatively stated today
but administration leaders made nn
effort TO heal the party sqnabbie
now attaining serious proportions.
