Burlington, M~iddlebury and Northfield,
whom | have met in New York and else
where have all been well UP toward the
front in their ariou lines.
We need go slowly in departing from
the custom we have been pursuing in
education for several years back. We
are making progress in a safe way. The
15 pages in the educational bill is most
ly a rewriting of what is already our
law. The new things proposed are:
To withdraw State supper from our
colleges.
To abolish the normal schools.
To destroy home rule In education.
To pay 1925, 900 for transportation that
ought to go to pay higher wages TO
teachers.
To create a State boss in education.
Do we want to do any Of these things?
| think not. If our legislators decide
we do not, all they have to do Is to leave
our law as 1t is and defer this radical
proposition to the State for two years
further consideration. 1t would probably
be wise to do this. We certainly acted
wisely in going slowly on highway con.
struction.
With all due respect for their eff
cheney, Vermont is not ready to Ger
mamie her educational system.

The death of the Hon. G. w Writer'S
of St. Adams removes from this common
wealth one who had long been identltled
with public affairs of this State. For
years he had been general counsel for
the Central Vermont railway. having
served his apprenticeship under former
Gov. j. Gregory Smith; and he han a
wide acquaintance not only in railroad
circles but throughout the State as well.
Many will be surprised to know that he
had nearly reached the four score years

office as he had been for years. He had
a host of friends and was widely
