No such proposal is made, as the

while the high school training courses,

Educational Phantoms.
The Randolph

The Randolph Herald and News
raises several questions in regard to
the report of the educational commits
sion which are proper to be considered
by the legislature but which are mostly
based on wrong premises. He raises
the question, for instance, whether the
school system should be in the hands of
five laymen. forgetting that some of
the most important duties of the pres
ent system are performed by such a
board.
1t asks whether the towns of the
state are ready to surrender control of
their schools, the answer being that
state control is the only possible way
to secure efficiency and economy.
1t queries thus -
"Whether men competent to perform
this great task would be likely to serve
without pay"
The answer is that men like Vail.
Butler, Estee, Watson, Graham,
Brooks, Clement, Porter and futile
without any pay and have given an
ests which can hardly be estimated in
terms of money.
The contemporary continues -
''Whether they wish district schools
to be consolidated according to the idea
of state board, schoolhouses closed
and pupils transported more generally
| than at present"
Nothing new is proposed by the COM
mission in this, and, on the contrary,
consolidation is proposed that will
open schoolhouses where there are
none. create community centers where
they will best serve the rural popula-
ton and equalize opportunities in Yer
mont. The consolidation proposition is
not to add an excessive cost but to
place the entire cost on the state in
stead of the towns, with such slight
increase as the growth of the schools
may demand.
whether they want all of the splen
did high schools that have been the
pride and uplift of their communities
agency to classify and conduct as they
please, the communities being ONLY
required to furnish the plants. assume
the debts and pay the taxes.
Some central agency must pass OF
the sufhciency of these schools. None
} of them will be turned over to thu
state board to conduct and the respon
sibilities will not be increased bu
rather eQuaIized.
Whether certain of these schools
must he enlarged to become "senior'
high schools while others shall be rul
slack as Junior" high schools
This is phantom evil if there eve
was one, the proposal of the commits
sion being entirely opposed to any
things running slack in the entire sys
tenn. The exact reverse, in fact i,
recommended.
whether more young people shall
be sent away from home influence.
while taking their finishing courses a
the six-year schools"
On the contrary, the recommends
ton is to bring finishing courses nearer
home, so that children may learn to be
good teachers, good farmers. good work
men and good citizens without COINS
away to normal schools or agriculture
and technical schools.
Whether the idea of agriculture
and manual training shall be forced
onto communities regardless of theil
views or left to their option to adopt
if they see fit

East Lincoln street was eliminated
because there seemed to be no demand
for the pavement. The block in North
Twelfth street was left out because
owners of a majority of the front foot
age objected.
South Twelfth street was ordered
paved in spite of the objections made
by some of the property owners be-
cause the street needs to be paved to
make it passable at times.
Width Twenty-Four Feet.
All the pavement except that ordered
for South Ninth street and East Main
street is to be twenty four feet wide.
On Ninth and Main streets the pave
ment will be thirty feet from curb to
curb.
Except for one or two particulars
the specitica tons for this pavement
are the same as for the other concrete
paving laid here. The pavement is to
be of a fye-inch foundation, composed
of one part cement. two parts sand,
four parts gravel. and two-inch wear
ing surface. The surfacing is COM
posed of two parts Of concrete, one part
of sand and two parts of crushed gran
lite. quartzite or. trap rock not to ex-
coed three-quarters of an inch in diam
eter.
All other concrete pavement specifi-
ca tons used here have provided for a
surface of sand and cement only. City
Engineer w. H. Steiner estimates the
surfacing specified will add about
cents a square yard to the cost.
Provides For Curing.
Transverse expansion joints one-half
/ inch wide are spaced at twenty five
foot intervals. and longitudinal expan-
sion joints of the same width are
placed next to each curb.
The specifications provide that If the
city engineer requires it the pavement
when finished is to be well sprinkled
with water for period Of seven days
and shall be covered with straw OF
bank sand and sprinkled.
City Engineer Steiner believes that
the essential curing is to keep the
pavement from drying too rapidly. This
can be done by sprinkling if the wealth
er is moderately warm or by covering
the fresh concrete with straw or sand
and sprinkling if the weather is very
warm.
