Severe Jolt for Vocational Education

Vocational education received a
severe jolt at the annual Vermont
schoolmasters' banquet held Friday
evening at the Hotel Vermont, Bur
lington.
The Rev. c. V. Grismer, Of Burling
ton, spoke for the training Of the
pupils which would tend to make them
idealistic, and Prof. S. +. Emerson,
who holds the chair of history at the
University Of Vermont, in his talk,
was Of the opinion that the vocational
izing of the whole school system would
be disastrous. Charles II. Morrill,,
principal of Brigham Academy, Bak-
ersfeld, hit vocational training hard in
his humorous confessions of an old
schoolmaster.
The banquet was held in the main
dining room Of the hotel, covers being
laid for about 60.
At the head table with Martin G.
Benedict, who presided as POSTMASTER,
were the Rev. c. v Grismer, Prof. j.
+. Messenger, the Rev. Charles Leon
ard, of Troy Conference Academy at
Poultney, Dr., Guy Potter Benton, and
Superintendent of Education Mason s.
Stone.
The university quartet sang be-
tween the courses Of the banquet and
also interspersed the speeches with
music The meeting was adjourned to

muNlt AtnaofA ffFfS@"'as "AA
Where is My BOY To night" and
Ring the Bells Of Heaven" and
Lord. I'm Coming Home" How they
do come. From all part Of the vast
building they press forward. Their
friends and neighbors and fellow
workmen are looking on. II requires
courage, for they are making a life
enlistment. There stands Billy with
only plain gold wedding ring on. No
outstretched hand Of any general ever
pointed such host TO battle. Al some
meetings over 100 people have press
ed their way forward and taken has
hand to express their acceptance OF
Jesus Christ. Billy calls this Hitting
the sawdust trail,
To every convert the workers give q
four-pa circular telling what II
means to be christian and how 10
make success of the christian life.
The names and addresses of each are
taken and also their church prefer
ences. These statements are written
upon cards and placed in the letter
boxes in the Tabernacle for the min
listers. and thus the pastors gather
them into their respective churches,
sometimes 1000 new members on a
single Sabbath And although many
Of them soon fall by the wayside,
majority of Billy's converts have
proven faithful.
Like most other men who have won
great victories in their battle with the
world. his thoughts often return 70 the
humble scenes Of his childhood. And
one of the brightest pictures that
hangs upon the walls of his memory
is that of the days, when as a little
boy, out in the old log cabin on the
frontier of Iowa. he knelt by his
mothers knee.
He went back to the old farm some
years ago. He stood beneath the old
oak tree and it seemed to talk to him.
1t seemed to say; Hello, Bill, is that
you ?" "Yes it is /, old tree "Well
you've got a bald spot en- the top Of
your head" "Yes, | know, old treo."
Say Bill, don't you remember when
you tried to play George Washington
and the cherry tree and almost cut me
down? That's the scar you made, but
it's almost covered now"
Oh, how the scenes had changed
about the place. Faces he had
known and loved had long since turned
to dust. Fingers that used to turn
the pages Of the Bible were oblitcr-
atcd and the old trees beneath which
he used to play and swing had been
felled by the Woodlands axe. He stood
and thought. He fell into a sort of
day dream which carried him back TO
his boyhood. Once more he walked
thrugoh the painless wood and listened
to the wild weird harmonies Of nature
as his vision Of the past opened.
He could see the tapestry Of the
evening fall. He could hear the low
ing herds and see them wind slowly
DER the lea and listen to the tinkling
bells that lulled the distant fowl, Once
more he heard the shouts Of childish
glee. Once more he climbed the hay
stack for the hens eggs. Once more
he crossed the threshold and sat at
the frugal meal. Once more mother
drew the trundle bed from under the
larger one and the boys kneeling
down, shut their eyes, and clasping
their little hands, they said: "Now !
lay me down to sleep; ] pray thee,
Lord, my soul to keep. If should die
before / wake, pray thee, Lord, my
soul to take. And this ! ask for Jesus
sake. Amen"
