TWO DORMITORIES FOR
DEFICIENT CHILDREN
VIII Be Erected in Brandon This Sum
mer on Land Bought By
the State.

BRANDON, March 15.-With APP
proximately 1,400 predetermined chill
dren in Vermont, though but compar-
atlvely small percentage can be
cared for in the school for feeble
minded recently established bv the
state at Forest Park farm in this
town, 1T becomes necessary to increase
the equipment of the school and 70
that end two dormitories are to be
erected the coming summer.
The buildings which will be either
OF concrete or cement blocks. win be
ia feet long and 80 feet wide. The
center section of each building VIII be
slightly larger than these dimensions.
The buildings will be one story high
and constructed, so far as possible. in
a hreproof manner. The buildings will
be used exclusively as dorm tories and
not for quarters of instruction.
Each building is designed to accom-
,odate 20 inmates. They will be built
upon lines followed by the architects
who constructed the buildings for
feeble-minded children at Letchworth.
n. Y, and Wrentham, Mass. Between
the middle of April and May l bids
Will be asked for on the construction
and the commission hopes to have the
iSstuN LUZ occupancy not
later than the first of next November.
The two dormitories will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
| Col. j. E. Paddock Of the commits
sion for the care of the feebIe-minded
said today that, while it may not bc
generally known, there is an increase
IN the number OF feeble minded state
wards over the figures of few years
ago not only in Vermont bat in many
other states. This increase is account
ed for because of the care given such
unfortunates. A few years ago many
children succumbed TO tuberculosis and
other diseases for want of treatment
and proper nourishment.
With many states making an effort
to better the condition of such unfcr-
Inmates the mortality rate has been de-
creased. When the Vermont school is
completely equipped it win be one Of
the model institutions in the country.

"A copy of the French Broad Hustle
containing your very interesting conf
parison between the administration of
Wilson and Washington, has just
reached me. The article is so highly
interesting that l must write you a
letter of appreciation.
at is most significant that the course
pursued by the First President and the
pl esent President are so similar, Mr..
Wilson must have been deep student
of Mr.. Washington's policies, and must
have taken them for his inspiration
cry largely.
There has been only one other pc
rod in modern history which compares
with the present one, and of course
that is the period of the Napole~ ~nic

Let me congratulate you upon your
thoughtful research into these striking
similar periods and commend you for
your highminded and patriotic compa-
rison of the two"
