to get it. For these two reasons,
therefore, one the infinitely greater
knowledge of the subject necessary to
properly supervise education, and the
other the fact that the state must
pay the bill in rural communities,
the state should have supervision
through a most carefully selected
board of education and the best quail
fed expert agents of that board.
Let all join in the effort to provide
for each youth, boy or girl, or the
state an education which will enable
them to take prompt advantage of
their experiences as they arise, by
giving them an understanding of the
real work of life, its requirements,
and what is necessary to accomplish
it.
The time is past when sheer force
of will or ability alone can get far
in this world. There is too much
completely in life, the conditions are
too involved There must be a foun-
dation laid and a practical way shown
for building upon that fundation
if the youth are to be developed into
preventative citizens.
Vermont has sent forth thousands
who have become creative citizens OF
other communities. The old stock
still exists. Some opportunities are
developing All that is necessary is
to assist the youth through the pre-
liminary maze which modern civili-
cation has surrounded them with, and
place them where they can help them
selves. But surely that much does
constitute a very distinct obligation
of the state itself, and one which the
state cannot ignore without discredit-
ing herself in comparison with her
sister commonwealth, which have
been quicker to recognize and per-
form their full duty.
1 remain, my dear governor, with
great respect,
Very sincerely,

conditions have greatly advanced, not

conditions have greatly advanced, not
only in completely but in expense.
In those days a we'll read and gen.
orally cultivated man could discuss
intelligently almost any subject in
the arts or sciences. Now, with the
great advance in knowledge, there are
very few who have a really under
standable grasp beyond the most gen
eral one of many subjects. In fact,
if one has a thorough knowledge and
understanding of one subject he is
doing well.
In those days the teachers did not
have, nor did they need, broad Gull
ture or special training. Much ri
dicule has been thrown upon the old
fashioned country school teacher,
who was generally a man, often of
middle age and seldom of finished ed
ucation, but in practical common
sense, and in his efforts to make the
empty dream but a thing of stern real
tiles and that it was the boys and
not the teachers work that must
make the boys fortune or position
in the world, there were elements
which it is a pity to have been parti-
ally dropped out of the modern ed
ncation.
Education, particularly primary,
was simple and comparatively mex
pensive. The members of any COM
munity were fully competent to direct
and supervise it within the authorize
ton of the laws of the state. Today
the matters of education, even the
primary, are complex and involved,
and while the qualifications of the
members of any community in the
state have probably improved over
those then existing, there is not that
expert knowledge necessary to proper
ly deal with educational subjects as
they are today.
Must Help Rural Schools.
Then, again, to give the children
of the rural communities all the adj
vantages that the children of the cen
tralized and wealthier communities
have, it is essential that large part
of the expense in some of them be
borne by the state. The state hav-
ing made it incumbent upon each
child to get some years of schooling,
the state cannot escape the moral
obligation of providing a way for him

ering," he very promptly came to the
front and gave the board his official
and unqualified support by stating
that he would stand for and authorize
any expenditure that the board could
be reasonably called on to incur.
The final meetings, at which the
report was gradually shaped, Gov
ernor Fletcher did not attend or else
took little or no part in. In fact, 1t
was very much regretted by all the
members that he could not present
his views more fully.
The whole action and influence
of Governor Fletcher was as COVER
nor of the state of Vermont acting as
representative of all of the people,
making it possible to effect solution
of something which was Of interest
and vital Importance to all the peo-
pie, and for this he is entitled to great
credit and praise no less than for the
conservative, non-partisan way in
which he attempted to do it.
Now as to Capitalization. The first
educational movement in the state of
Vermont evidently aimed at the cen
tralization of higher education, but
left primary education to the direc-
ton of the people in each community
or group of communities.
Nothing better could have been
done. Vermont at that time was an
agricultural state. With the excep-
ton OF a few very old settlements
it was newly settled. The rural pop
ulation was widely distributed and
prosperous farms were located where
now there is no indication of them
or where is the so-called abandoned
farm. Whatever wealth there was,
was widely and generally distributed.
There were relatively no very rich
communities. There was little or no
urban population and the places that
were called cities we're nothing but
villages and not overgrown ones at
that.
Consequently each community or
group of communities was able to
take care of its own, particularly as
educational requirements and condi-
tions were comparatively simple.
Since then educational ideas and

THE PLANET JUPITER
Now Bright Object in the Evening Sky
e.
h.. 1.s

Except for the moon, the brightest
object, and the most interesting world
now in the evening sky is the planet
Jupiter. 1t will be seen little east
of south and well up in the sky at 8: 80
o'clock. This planet will well repay
careful study with the telescope. It's
broad bands, its satellites in ever
changing positions due to their rapid
rotation makes it a beautiful and in
teresting object for observation with d
small telescope.
In size, Jupiter Is equal to 1900
earths, and four of the satellites are
equal to or larger than our moon.
Is Jupiter Inhabited?
Jupiter is semi-sun, with probably
nothing resembling solid crust and
having a$density . little less than that
of our sun. SThe great red spots sug-
gest tremendous outbursts like those
from molten material, or the great lava
overflows of the earth in its earlier
stages. Like the sun, different portions
of the surface have different velocities,
and storms having velocity of $50
miles or more per hour often rage for
weeks.
Although Jupiter can not now sup
port life, either animal or vegetable,
It's satellites may be passing through
the life bearing stage.
The clouds Of Jupiter are probably
Of an entirely different origin from
that of terrestrial clouds and rather re-
semble the chaotic masses Of vapor
which enveloped the earth when it was
still in seminebulous' condition. The
stupendous miracle of world making
which is dimly painted in the grand
figures employed by the writer's OF
Genesis and the composers of the cos
mogonic legends is here actually going
on before our eyes.
Its pull upon the earth.
Jupiter Is now some 100000, 900
miles away and one feels that its at
tractive force upon the earth Is insig'
