IN THE GREEN MOUNTAINS
Letter from President Frost

My third son, Norman, whom
many in Berea will remember as a
boy, student, and a member OF the
College Band, is superintendent OF
schools in Vermont, and | spent two
days with him last week. Much Of
his work is interesting and sugges-
tive TO all rural teachers.
He is superintendent for three
townships, each with its separate
school-board OF three trustees. The
three townships contain about 1000
children, high school with village
grades employing fifteen teachers
and twenty-five teachers in the sur
rounding country. Each township
has its own selection Of text books,
furnished at public expense. Attend
ance is compulsory, and when nee
essary the children are transported
to school at public expense. Yer
mont is determined that every child
shall attend school. In one case
man is actually paid dollar day
for bringing his little girl four miles
over bad road TO school and taking
her home at night
One district contains only eight
children, six in one family. Several
schools contain less than fifteen.
These are the difficulties OF a scat
tered mountain population.
He goes about in an auto when
roads are good, and on foot when
they are bad, and knows every one OF
his 1000 children by name except a
few Of the very youngest.
The pay OF teachers is from So to
si2 a week.
The work of rural supervision OF
this careful line is quite new so that
young Frost is a pioneer in fresh
and important field. 1t is to be
noted that the superintendent is not
a politician elected by the people, but
a trained man from outside selected
and appointed by responsible
board.
Vermont was the birthplace OF DIT.
Pearsons, Berea's great friend, who
did so much for the mountaineers
of Kentucky and the South. ! shall
get picture of the house in which
he was born.
The rocks here are largely granite
and marble.
Vermont Mountains are higher
than Kentucky Mountains. but not
crowded so thickly together. The
soil is not so good as in the Kentucky
Mountains. and of course the sea-
son is shorter and the winter colder.
The mountain man in Vermont has
a snug house, and joining the house
a woodshed Of enormous size, and
Joining the woOdshed a big manure
barn. He raises Morgan horses, Jer-
sey and Holstein cattle, oats and po-
tatOes and apples and rosy checked
children and makes maple sugar.
Hurrah for the MOuntainsl
