from which an appeal may be taken
to the county court.
Then we have several municipal
courts also with limited jurisdiction
that are costing the state from $685.
600 to $4,000 a year. Parties may
try their civil cases before the mu-
nicipal court in full and then either
party can appeal to the county court.
Here they have to begin the case all
over again, reproduce their wit
nesses and go to as much expense in
this trial as they would if nothing
had been done in any municipal
court. In other words the parties
are put 10 the expense of starting the
case twice.
Then there are the county courts
which may hear the beginning of all
cases involving more than a desig-
mated sum and retry all cases ap-
pealed from the municipal courts.
When the verdict is given either
party can appeal to the supreme court
and the questions of law will be con-
sidered by that court. If any tech
meal error is found the case is sent
back to the county court for another
trial.
1t seems to us that the state has
altogether too many inferior courts
in which cases may be commenced,
and too few in which cases may final
ly be decided A trial in one lower
court and the right to appeal to a
supreme court would seem to give
justice to all, and that is what par
ties should receive in the courts.
Therefore we believe that no district
courts should be established, that
municipal courts should be abolished,
that justice courts should be allowed
to hear only cases in which they have
final jurisdiction and that the county
courts should always be open for the
beginning and trial of civil and GRIM
ina1 cases.
More should be said in advocating
such a radical change but it would
require too much space. At this
time we simply present the PROPOSE
ton and at some future time may
discuss it's merits

The passage of the prohibition
referendum bill in the senate by a
vote of twenty yeas to seven nays
was a surprise to many who had
heard of the active opposition of GER
tain interests. But the vote was the
verdict Of the senate on the fairness
of the proposition of submitting the
question to the people again. With
the medical profession constantly re-
ducing the use of alcohol in sick
ness, the strict requirements of rail
roads and other large corporations
for total abstinence among employees,
the systematic education of the
school children in the evil effects of
alcohol and the agitation of the
question from a moral standpoint
there certainly is a very strong pro-
hibition sentiment in Vermont and it
is probable the open saloon is enjoy
ing its last harvest in this state.

An Ambitious School

Montpelier Seminary, the sec
ondary school established as New
bury Seminary, changed to Yer
mont Methodist Seminary and now
bearing the title given above, is the
one private educational institution in
Vermont that is planning a campaign
of development and greater field OF
usefulness. At a meeting of it's trus-
tees held last Friday, r. Clip
ston Sturgis of Boston, one OF
the most widely known archi-
tects of the country, presented
plans for new dormitories and
a new dining hall and central heat
ing plant for the the whole set OF
buildings. The plans for the dormi-
tories are of the latest approved style
with the students arranged in groups
of twenty under the supervision OF
an officer of the school. There
will be a common dining room,
library and reception room and sew
eral parlors. Each dormitory will
be only two stories high, the rooms
made homelike and attractive and
the whole as plain and simple as COM
fort and good taste will dictate. These
new buildings will occupy the site of
the present dormitories.
This is an ambitious plan for any
school to adopt under present fnan-
cial conditions as a large amount of
money will be necessary to carry it
out. But the school is prosperous
under the management of it's new
principal DR.. ]. w. Hatch, is getting
it financially grounded so it's perma-
hence is no longer questionable and
it needs additional facilities to en-
able it to accommodate the large
field from which it can draw students.
Principal Hatch possesses the cour-
age to successfully undertake this
immense improvement scheme and he
has carried the work to such a stage
that the trustees will aid him in
formulating an appeal for finance.
They have become enthused over the
prospect and are confident that it can
be successfully carried out.
Such a pleasing prospect for this
grand old college preparatory school
will bring encouragement and stimu-
late to splendid effort the host of
throughout the country.

A very large percentage of the stu
dents of the University of Vermont
are educating themselves for
the vocation of engineering
chemistry or agriculture. A very
small per cent of all the students in
that institution are taking the reg
ular classical course and a large pro-
portion of them are preparing them
selves for the vocation of teaching or
some other professional vocation So
the fact would appear to be that these
two gentlemen are very largely en-
gagged in vocational education en-
bellished to some degree with the
finer studies" and culture"
The real irritant to these gentle
men seems to be a demand on the
part of the public that the vocational
training of the hand be given more
prominence in the work of the public
schools. They would subordinate
the development of manual ability of
the many to the tickling of intel
lectual possibilities of the few. The
words few and many are used ad-
visedly as there are today only 607
Vermont boys and girls in the insti-
tutions of higher education and 49,
900 of school age.
We admit there is danger of car
rying vocational training in the pub
lie schools too far but believe it has
been too much neglected so far in
the educational work of the state.
We do not understand that it is pro-
posed to make vocational work in
the public school a mere drudgery.
Rather we would see manual ability
increased by fusing it with intellec-
tual ability. 1t would ip"rease pub
lie respect and appreciation for man
ual ability and raise it's attainment
nearer to that of the intellect. 1t
would increase the efficiency and pos
sibilities<of agriculture, industry and
business by their harmonious de-
velopment along with the intellect.
We dislike the effort of two such
eminent gentlemen to deny to the
great mass of the children of the
state a pleasant and more profitable
development of their ability; to deny
them the requirement of culture in
the restricted education they can at
ford. To our mind there is more
culture in the profitable production
OF potatoes for the consuming hOrdes
of the cities than in scratching
around among Greek roots that could
not sustain the life of these hordes
for a single hour. There is more
culture in a contented and intelligent
rural life than in knowledge of the
salacious literature and life of the
past ages. We hope to see the life
of the average child vitalized, made
more attractive, useful and dignifed
by sane education in it's advantages
and possibilities.

"Jolting'' Vocational Education

Vocational education received a
ters' banquet held last evening at the
Hotel Vermont" says Saturdays Bur
lington Free Press. Prof. S. F. EN-
erson of the University of Vermont
and Charles H. Morrill, are credited
with dealing the hardest blows at It.
Each man has a standing among Yer
mont educators that gives much i'm
portance to what he says on any
educational topic and the propriety
of differing with them may be ques-
tionable. Prof. Emerson is reported
as saying in effect:
The teachers of the present time
face the crisis of vocational education
and whether or not the whole school
system becomes vocationalized and
disaster follows the responsibility
rests with the teachers. If the school
masters of the higher schools of ed
ucation with their broadened ideas
could teach in the elementary schools
the W nOlG plOUlCul MOQAQ NC SO1NCus
but these lower schools must be turn
ed over to teachers incompetent for
their work Until the big man is
ready to take little place, not look
ing for his own advancement but that
Of the whole, the work will be a fa;l-
ure."
Mr.. Morrill, bewails the fact that
Greek, Latin, history. mythology, al
zebra and geometry are put aside
that the teacher may turn himself
to the effort of educating the boys
fingers so that he may be fitted for
a two-dollar-a-day job rather than
his mind be given the finer studies
Of life"
These eminent gentlemen evident
ly pride themselves that they are not
engaged in vocational education.
Mr.. Morrill, for years was a principal
of a normal school in Vermont, an
institution devoted entirely to edu-
cation for the vocation of teaching.

The People and the Courts

The recommendation of the spe-
G. NJ. Powers, Judge Frank L. Fish
and Federal Judge Harland B. Howe,
for simplifcation of court procedure
will appeal to the layman as very
A plain statement of the claims of
the plaintiff and defendant in a suit
is simply common sense without en-
dangering in any way the rights of
case from a court of law to a court
of equity and vice versa without los
ing what has already been done in
the trial will greatly reduce the cost
and expedite the securing of justice
in the courts. While the restriction
of the grounds upon which the su-
preme court can reverse decisions of
the lower court and order retrials will
be most valuable to the honest Hti-
CANT. Taken all in all it would ap-
pear that body of legal experts had
found the most desirable changes to
be made in our laws relating to court
procedure free from any dangerous
ideas that might be proposed by
layman. We hope the legislature
will enact their recommendations in
to law and so bring about a material
reduction in the expenses of the
state government.
There are some other features to
the court problem of the state that
the commission had no authority to
take up that are worth considera-
ton by the public. The state has
too many courts. First, we have
justices of the peace with limited
jurisdiction before whom small civil
and criminal cases may be tried but

Just when the president should be
able to give his whole attention to
the European diplomatic problems
the Mexican question rises again to
perpIex and confound him. The city
of Mexico is threatened with starva-
ton because the government troops
are evacuating the capitol to get
away from another band of robbers
ers are in great danger, property is
seized or practically confscated for
revenues and there is no hand to stay
the barbarism that seems to be in
control. 1t is a terrible situation and
demands the wisest and most cOura-
geous treatment. 1t comes in its
acute form now as the result of the
presidents fiat failure to meet the
issue correctly during the days of the
Huerta regime. The president caused
the expenditure of 100000 in
Mexico before this latest crisis came
upon him and has absolutely nothing
in the way of government or human
ity in Mexico to show for it. This
fact should convince even him and
his peace pumpkin of a secretary of
state of the error of their ways and
lead to the adoption of policy that
will either subdue the bandit gov
eminent or annihilate it. Mexico
has not reached a stage that permits
of dealing with her along civilized
lines and this country must either
take everybody else out of that coun-
try and then let the devils fight it
out among themselves or else it must
step in and give the foreign elements
proper protection.
