and at public hearings. And becaus
it places increased power on the super
intendent of education with the expec-
tation of giving this man a salary
commensurate with his ability and re-
sponsibility, publicists flood the State
press with dire predictions of what
will happen if the bill passes. And be-
cause it urges more vocational train
ing and less of the dead languages
that never appeal to the growing boy
or girl one of the intellectual geniuses
of Vermont sarcastically attacks this
most important and commendable fea
ture of the bill"
The intellectual genius, to whom the
contemporary undoubtedly refers,
whose sarcasm was directed against
the bill was Hon. Joseph A. DeBoer
of Montpelier, who, to quote from one
newspaper report, condemned the
principal features of the bill "in his
usual eloquent and ironical manner"
All who are familiar with Mr.. De-
Beers eloquent and ironical manner"
will appreciate what the effect, tenn
porarily at last, would be upon anyone
whose mind was not fortified against
prejudice and whose knowledge
of the measure and the meaning and
purpose of its various provisions was
merely superficial.
However eloquent and ironical Mr..
DeBoer's argument may have been, it
was unsound and unfair and bears the
imprint of the partisan rather than
the statesman.
But in its denunciation Of plan
designed TO correct the existing evil
in Vermont's high school system by
which ninety-two per cent of the
pupils are compelled to pursue col
lege- preparatory course for which they
have, and of which they make, no use;
in its attempt to prejudice Legislators
by illusions to the work of outsiders; |
and in its other attempts to discredit !
the measure and its sponsors, il is in
perfect keeping with the methods om-
pIoyed by the various interests, to
whom the Standard has already refer
red, who are bending all Of their ener-
gies TO the defeat Of this great and
important measure, the adoption Of /
which would inaugurate new era in
.he educational progress Of the State.

70 CONQUER TYPHOID.

The United States public health service
issues bulletin to cheering humanity on
the subject of the justly dreaded typhoid
fever. This department believes it possible
and even probable that the disease may be
eliminated from consideration in II years,
IF immunization," says the depart
ment, "attains the general recognition
that smallpox prevention has obtained,
typhoid fever will be a rare disease by
1880, and many of the physicians of to-
day will live to see the time when the in
lection viii be no longer common"
Employees of the government, both in
Washington and in the field, have been
very anxious to obtain. the immunization
treatment and have popularized it great

/ partmcnt telling where immunization may
( be obtained has proved to be very much
isought after AT least 100000 persons
( were immunzed in 1914 and it is expected
/ that the total for 1918 will be about 30O,-
! coo
During the four months of 1898 there
were more than 1000 cases of typhoid
among 10000 soldiers encamped in Flor
ida observes the public health service
in 1911, among 10000 men similarly en-
camped, there were but two cases. If sucl
a degree Of immunity can be harmlessly
conferred upon body OF men living I'M
der adverse conditions and whose age rem
dcrs them susceptible, the conclusion j.
that protection can just as easily be afford

There is no doubt about the practical
disappearance Of smallpox in this country

world will have good cause for rejoicing.

Frank \. Munsey, who made an i'm

AIunsey says the newspaper chain in the

looked to be in the analysis, which is one
way Of explaining that the theory did not
work in practice. In speaking Of chain
ownership Mr.. Munsey says: cit has a
fatal defect which organization and capital
cannot overcome-the defect that is felt in
la newspaper under a salaried management
as contrastcd with the newspaper under
individual ownership management. Own
.ership management speaks language
that that community understands. 1t
knows its accent, its intonations and
characteristics, whereas with the salaried
management there is always something
akin to the foreign accent that cannot be
discussed. Mr.. Munsey could furnish
the millions, but the men he hired could
not give the papers touch of personality

Just as people had begun to hope for
reduction in the price of coal because of
the action Of the interstate commerce
commission in regulating the coal carrying
railroads there comes the announcement
that many of the miners are leaving the
mines in search of higher wages in other
employments, and that as a result the
price Of coal IS liable to go up. If it isn't
one thing it's another. and cheap coal IS
without doubt one of the things that will

ping down in bed IS often a great rest.
Never sit on the bed to visit with a
