FROM WITHOUT THE STATE
UP AGAINST VERMONT.
New York Evening Mail.

The Carnegie Foundation is a great
thing, and it's workers are wise and
clever specialists, but they have just
suffered an awful defeat at the hands of
the people of the State of Vermont.
The Foundation, at the request of the
Governor and educational authorities of
that State, went up into Vermont, eX-
amined thoroughly the educational sys-
TEN there, and recommended a revou-
tionary plan of reform and reorganiza-
ton. Then the legislature of the State
met, examined this plan, and legislated
upon it. What did it do? The legsla
ture not only rejected every single prop
oston that the foundation had made,
but passed acts renewing, strengthen
ing and emphasizing all the institutions
and features which the Foundation had
proposed to remove. Not only was
every suggestion rejected, but mai Of
opposite legislation was driven through
every suggestion and clinched on the
other side.
The result shows how scientific men
can forget one big fact when they are
dealing with another. The Carnegie
Foundation discovered some mighty
poor schools in Vermont. That was one
fact They needed that. But they did
not discover that Vermont is all cut up
with mountain ranges and ridges. They
ignored that totally. The Foundation
proposed to abolish all the little high
schools and concentrate educational
efforts on a few central schools. In
arranging this plan, they went on the
idea that Vermont was as fiat as Iowa,
Indiana, or Erie county, N. Y. They
made the mistake of asking the Yer
mont people TO send their children over
mountain 1000 feet high to a high
school in another town. And Vermont
said NAY! Better a low school in our
own town than high school in the next
town."
Then again, the Carnegie Foundation
asked the Legislature of Vermont to let
Middlebury College die, because 1t is
OF State institution. But Vermont
has long recognized in little Middlebury
a real intellectual beacon light on the
mountain top, and it is as jealous of the
credit of that clean little college as it is
of the fair fame of its maple sugar and
its creamery butter. For suggesting
Middlebury's overthrow, the Carnegie
foreign and hostile organization, and
was sent packing altogether.
When the scientific gentlemen of the
Car egie Foundation next take up the
job of regulating the affairs of Yer
mont, they would do well to call Yer
mentologst in consultation.

JUDGE WEEKS.


1t is not supposable that omnipotence
ever made mistake, but if the Eternal
Architect ever had such momentary
lapse, it was when he designed John
Weeks and4pcated large and energetic
soul in perhaps too frail body. His
immense voltage is frequently case of
power full motor racking too light a
frame, but the latter has thus far fairly
we'll withstood the strain He was
born in the thriving and substantial
town of Salisbury, June Ia, 1854,
located in Middlebury in 1896, and
is now and always has been a
large and successful farmer, His
school education was finished at
Middlebury high school, and since then
he has been taking a continuous course
in the great school of life, and with
results which have been splenIidly vim
dicated in his public career This latter
includes service in the House in 1888
and in the Senate in 1896; in the House
again in 1912 and in his representation
of his town again this year, when he
was elevated to the position of speaker
From 1892 to 1894 he was also associate
Judge of his county court, and was
State cattle commissioner in 1906. 1t is
no disparagement of his excellent ser
vices in the above capacities, however,
to say that his larger and more pleasing
title to the consideration and regard of
the State has come from his services
on the States penal boards. In 1898
he was appointed to membership in the
board of trustees of. the State Industrial
school at Vergennes, and has been
chairman of the State board of p nal
institutions since 1906 1t is in this
latter capacity, offering such limitless
opportunities for service of the most
valuable and far-reaching nature, that
he has well won a name and fame eX-
tending far beyond the borders of Yer
mont. The Good Book allows that "a
prophet is not without honor save in his
own country" but this is not true of
Mr.. Weeks. For some time Vermonters
were slow to realize the magnitude and
immense benefit of the work he was
certainly accomplishing in the line of
prison reform, but they fully realize it
now and have constantly increasing
respect and esteem for the unostenta-
tious and quiet hammered man who has
accomplished so much to put Vermont
in first place on the map in penal uplift
work. Judge Weeks is distinctly -ly q
man of large executive capacity, q
/ genius in the sense of his qualification
for panstaking and infinite detail in his
work, with administrative and con
structve ability plus. The innate kind
illness and humanitaranism of the man
coupled with the above talents, com
mands the very best results in dealing
with these great questions affecting
human brotherhood, and along these
lines the world has indeed mos
efficient benefactor in John +. Weeks
Long may he be spared to serve Yer
mont in any capacity where his valuable
qualifications may be most useful.

become a law.
Two substitute measures were passed
in place of the bill first presented to the
legislature. The first relates to ele-
mentary schools; it creates a new board
of education of five members, to be APP
pointed by the Governor, and the board
appoints a commissioner of education.
A uniform course of study is provided;
superintendent chosen by the central
authority will supervise the schools, and
a limited number of supervisors will
watch over the superintendent. A
union may be composed of schools in
two or more towns. The school age is
raised to six years and the school year
is increased to sc weeks. In strictly
rural schools a minimum wage of SO a
week is provided for teachers, with adj
ditonal pay from the State of So, 81, or
SIS, according to the teachers qualihca-
tions. So the better teachers will get
better pay.
In the second substitute bill, the es-
tablishment of senior and junior high
schools, and vocational education, are
optional. The increase in the appropri-
alton for schools is $57, 900, and this sum
is provided by increasing the State
school tax from eight to ten cents.

IMAGINATION AND FACT.


"If the 10, 900 acre forest bequeathed
to Middlebury College by the late
Joseph Battell is cut on forestry rules
for the preservation of woodlands, it
ought to provide a revenue that would
place the lucky neighboring institution
beyond the need of State aid. " Rutland
Herald. In editorially noting that the
gift of 20, 600 acres of forest land to
Middlebury College tt rough the will of
the late Joseph Battell is to be handled
for commercial purposes in accordance
with the highest standards of scientific
forestry, Youth Companion says: 1T
is unique responsibility for college
trustees, but it offers great oppor-
tunity to do some good constructive
work. Perhaps the college will secure
such large financial return from its
holdings that it will not need State aid
for scholarships. - Brattleboro Re-
former. Probably no set of individuals
would be more tickled than those who
care for the finances of Middlebury if
this were true, but if The Messenger
under stands the matter correctly there
is no hope of revenue in any great
amount coming from this forest 1t is
more in the nature of trust than any
thing else.
