INAUGURATION oFDR, HlLLEGAs

INAUGURATION OF DIR, HlLLEGAS
The address of DR.. Milo b. Hillegas
at his Inauguration as Commissioner OF
Education yesterday was such as to in
spire confidence that the school affairs
of Vermont are in good hands HIS
opening sentences, in which he said it
was not his duty to dictate an educa'
tional policy for the State but to help
carry out the measures the people de-
sire to see embodied in the schools,
marked him as a man Of common sense
His whole address was heartening and
optimistic. He spoke with pride OF the
devotion of the Vermont people to edu-
cation, as shown by the large proper
ton of children in school and the excel
lent daily attendance. He commended
the teachers of the State for their devo'
ton to their profession, as shown par
ticularly by their attendance upon sum-
mer courses of study. He had good
word for the district superintendent and
the advantages which Vermont secures
from its system of universal super
vision 1t was especially gratifying
that he could report so large an in
crease in teachers salaries as the re-
suit of the excellent and practical
measures adopted by the last legisla-
ture. He gave particular emphasis to
the Junior high schools, by which it is
hoped to bring high school advantages
nearer home to a much larger number
of pupils.
Commissioner Hilegas' address was
marked by simplicity, directness, earn
estness and absence of all striving for
popular effect. He is evidently man
of deeds rather than words, quiet,
constructive builder of things that last,
His Inauguration should mark a new
day of peace and co operation in Yer
mont education.
