MEDICAL ScIENcE-Here is the
way modern medical science views
the sex questions: While the same
code of morals for men and women
may be ideal, such a standard is ar
tiicial and opposed to the physiOlog-
ical development of the two sexes.
This is a scientific fact.
Under present economic conditions,
when men cannot marry young, if
at all, we must have prostitution. We
would not do away with it if we could.
It acts as the safety valve of society.
without it men would commit rape
and other perversions. Then the
best thing to do is;

have to stay. OF course, there are
exceptions to this rule and no one
can deny the fact that "our" present
administration, the safety first"
brand, has done much to help the
workingmen, and especially the I'M
employed. just think of it! A new,
palatial municipal flop house has
been running full blast for some
time.
A well-written and elaborate re-
port on unemployment was issued by
the market commission and julius,
who is an expert on employing cheap
labor, was appointed by the mayor on
the commission which is expected to
find ways and means to put the pro-
visions of the report into operation.
No doubt when the good old summer
time again pays US visit, conditions
bettered and some of the unemployed
re-employed, we viii have the pleas
ure to learn that the benefits to be de-
rived from the report will be post
poned to a more Opportune time.
Really, we boobs don't seem to APP
preciate the devotion of the admin
istration to the cause Of the uneln-
ployed. For instance, we ought to be
thankful for the arrest and clubbing
which took place near Hull House a
few Sundays ago. Now is the time
to show our gratitude for all the
good" things handed down to us by
the "safety first" administration

to do, fool around with this so-cailed ;
vice and pose as Feformers. Every ,

have in this world gamblers, stamp !.

However, whether reformers ac- :

their hobby is different question. :
Prostitution is too serious PROPOSE
ton to be treated lightly. The cause I
of prostitution may be found in UNI 4
natural conditions.
A man sleeps in a filthy, Vermin- ,
infested hole, works nine to twelve 1
hours a day, breathes foul air and
gets a wage hardly sufficient to sup ,
port one And then he is expected
to have a sense Of morality. That is |
nonsensical and if we had scientific J
men to investigate this evil, instead
of our often rigthly-named Sky 3

thing. u
Therefore let US get at the cause, ,
improve conditions and there VIII be
no desire or demand for prostitution.
This may be accomplished as follows:

COPY OF A LETTER FROM
MR.. VAIL ON THE EDU-
CATIONAL QUESTION

February Is, 1915.
Hon Charles W. Gates,
Montpelier, Vermont.
Ny dear Governor:
Because of my deep interest in the
re-establishment Of the school system
of Vermont upon sound and progress
sive basis, | take the liberty Of ad-
dressing to you few words regard
ing the Educational Bill.
understand that there are two
principal objections to the Educational
Bill-one Fletcherism, and the other
Capitalization.
AS to the first. Whoever originated
the idea of an Educational Commission
is entitled to credit, but the man who
made it operative deserves even more.
1t was a big idea. The time was past
ripe for some revision Of our educa-
tional methods. Everybody knows
that. | am not partisan in any such
matter, so that | trust what say
will be regarded as wholly in the IN
terest of educational advancement.
Governor Fletcher in making this
idea operative went at it conscientious
ly and effectively He sought to make
an educational commission of repre-
sentative men who were interested IN
the subject. His selection Of President
Butler was an inspiration as 1t put the
commission into direct and intimate
touch with the most authoritative ed
vocational forces of this country.
Having made the commission, Gov
ernor Fletcher left it to its delibera-
tons, attended a few Of the first meet
ings to keep in touch with its inten-
tons and processes without trying to
influence the members, and when the
commission as a body realized that 1t
wanted the best advice to be had, and
not knowing how expensive 1t might
be and just how any very considerable
expenditure would be regarded, and
still wanting TO preserve the dignity
of the state by not "dickering," he
very promptly came to the front and
gave the board his official and unquali-
/ fed support by stating that he would
stand for and authorize any expendi-
ture that the board could be reason
ably 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, il
was very much regretted by all the
members that he could not present his
views more fully.
The Manchester journal. [volume] (Manchester, Vt.) 1861-current, 1915-03-11

The whole action and influence OF
Governor Fletcher was as Governor OF
the State of Vermont acting as repre-
sentative Of all the people, making 1t
possible to effect solution of some
thing which was Of interest and vital
importance to all the people, and Tor
this he is entitled to great credit and
praise no less than for the conserva-
tive, non-partisan way in which ne
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 direction
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 few very old settlements 1t
was newly settled. The rural popu-
lation 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 wide
nv and generally distributed There
were relatively no very rich commun-
tiles. There was little or no urban
population and the places that were
called cities were 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 educa-
tional requirements and conditions
were comparatively simple.
Since then educational IDEAS and
conditions have greatly advanced, not
only in completely but in expense.
In those days well read and gen
orally cultivated man could discuss IN
diligently almost any subject in the
arts or sciences. Now, with the great
advance in knowledge, there are very
few who have really understandable
grasp beyond the most general one OF
many subjects. In fact, if one has
a thorough knowledge and understand
ing of one subject he is doing well.
In those days the teachers did not
have, nor did they need broad culture
or special training. Much ridicule has
been thrown upon the old-fashioned
country school teacher, who was gen
orally a man, often Of middle age and
seldom of finished education, but in
practical common sense, and in his
efforts to make the boys realize that
life was not an empty dream but a
thing of stern realities and that IT

tune or position in the world, there
were elements which it is pity to
have been partially dropped out of the
modern education.
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 prop
erly deal with educational subjects as
they are today.
Then, again, to give the children OF
the rural communities all the advan-
tages Of the centralized and Weather
communities have, it is essential that
a large part of the expense in some OF
them be borne by the state. The state
having made it incumbent upon each
child to get some years Of schooling,
the state cannot escape the moral obi-
cation of providing a way for him To
pet IL For these two reasons, there
fore, one the infinitely greater knowl-
edge of the subject necessary to \ OPP
erly supervise education, and the other
the fact that the State must pay the
bin in rural communities, the state
should have supervision through a
most carefully selected board of odu-
cation and the best qualified expert
agents Of that board.
Let all join in the effort to provide
for each youth, boy or girl, Of 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 il.
The time is past when sheer force
of will or ability alone can get far in
this world. There is too much com
plexity in life, the conditions are too
involved. There must be foundation
laid and a practical way shown for
building upon that foundation if the
youth are to be developed into repre-
sentative 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 civiliza-
ton has surrounded them with, and
place them where they can help them

constitute very distinct obligation Of
the State itself, and one which the
