Vermont is not getting value received
on the money which it pays to the col.
leges in the state. The state gave the
three institutions SOL, 100 in 1914 and
$4,000 is asked from the state treasury
this year. From each student from
within the state Vermont is paying to
the University of Vermont $1OS, to
Middlebury 1854 and Norwich S416.
The showing at the latter Institution is
particularly bad. as over one third of the
scholarships are granted in Washington
county, and nearly oue-fourth to the
little town ofNorth6eld alone. The point
is well taken that the money paid to the
colleges would be a mighty help in giving
the public schools competent supervision.

given various tests for period Of
ten days and will at the end Of that

The truck is splendid piece OF

1t has 60-horse power engine and has
a maximum speed of IS mics an hour.
1t is equipped with electric lights, side
lights, one large headlight over the

DISTRICTS 90, 61 AND 95 PLAN TO
MERGE INTO ONE DIS
TRICT

Holdingford Advertiser (3): The
first meeting to consider consolidation
Of districts %, 81 and 95, Morrison
county, was held in Upsala Tuesday
evening this week. About a hundred
men and women were present md
heard Prof. C. C. Swain, state rural
school commissioner, who spoke for an
hour and half on the advisabilitv of
consolidating schools and how to do it..
He also explained what part the state
takes in the support of such schools.
A committee consisting of two men
from each of the districts involved
was appointed and these will nush the
question at once to an issue. The first
step will be to get 25 per cent of the
to sign a petition for an election. In
this case there is no doubt that the
proposition will carry as a majority Of
the voters are impatient at the neces-
sary delays. The sooner they get the
large school the better they will be
pleased.
The new district will have a valua-
tion of nearly 100000, and pupils to
the number Of $50. The new school
will have four teachers and give two
years Of high school work. Also in.
struction in agriculture, manual train.
ing and home economies. The cost OF
running such school is about $3,4OO
per year of which over $1,000 is paid
bv the state. Transportation of the
children to and from the school is all
paid for by the state provided it does
not cost over $4,000 per year. The state
also contributes $4,000 towards the
construction Of the building.
The Upsala community has repu-
tation for progressiveness. The propo-
sition to consolidate and improve their
schools is proof that it deserves its
good name.
