Festival Course Completed for Season 1867

lex Morley has not as yet been an.
nOunced.
This array of talent, not only ex.
ceeds that Of any previous year as a
Pre-Festival group of artists from an
artistic standpoint, but the necessary
outlay of money to procure a group
of artists of such a uniform high
standard, means several hundred dol.
lars more than in any previous year.
1t has been the endeavor Of the de.
partment Of music to bring to Valley
City group of artists of a uniform
character, ability and educational
value, rather than to secure one or
two first class artists with four or five
of mediocre ability to fill in the course.
Each artist who will appear here this
season, has been selected for some
particularly good reason, and the aim
has been to build a logical course,
with little regard for expense, in so
far as the community has supported
these courses with the studentbody.
In fact, each successive course of
artists, since the first has been a
higher priced one. The course is
maintained solely for it's educational
influences, and such profits as may &C
crue in any one season are used to
raise the standard of the talent of the
succeeding year. For this reason, the
! department of music this year is pre-
senting a much higher priced course
than heretofore, but is nevertheless
in position to still offer tickets of ad-
mission for the entire course to the
general public at the same price of ST..
These tickets will be sold and re-
served at the Dakota Drug store some
days before the opening numbers,

Judge George H. Dale Candidate.

Judge George H. Dale of this place
who is now serving his third term as as.
sistant Judge will be candidate for re-
election. lie has been urged, not only
by his home friends, but throughout the
county to be a candidate in the primar
les TO succeed himself, and this morning
told this paper that his candidacy could
be announced.
No words OF praise concerning Judge
Dale's stewardship on our part is neces-
sary. IL is well understood in every sec
tion of the county how well he fills the
position and how faithfully he has served
the county 1t would seem that it is al
most necessary to have one of the assistant
Judges man Of legal learning 1t has
worked out well in this county and has
been the means OF expediting court bust
ness which means a saving TO both the
county and the state. The fact that
every member of the Washington county
bar would like to see Mr.. Dale succeed
himself is to our mind a sufficient cause
why he should be candidate, and is an
endorsement which is highly hattering to
our worthy townsman.
Ii the voters OF the county honor Mr..
Dale again. which we truly believe they
will, il will be in his ability to fill the
position. Mr.. Dulles record has always
been that whatever he undertakes he
does well. He is conscientious and pains
taking in his work The voters of the
county know this, thus one Of the chief
reasons why we believe he will be hon

NOT RESPONSIBLE!

1t is in Germany. A row Of bronzed
able bodied and alert men are faced by
their superior The superior has a stern
look. His voice is raucous with sup
pressed fire. His manner is that OF a

his voice fairly shakes the roof, The
bronzed. able bodied and alert men reply
in perfect concert and with regllat-
ed tones, "We have not sir" And they
return to their chosen places. The su-
perior turns on his swivelchair and

writes: Herr the United States, have
the honor to report that no German sub
marine attacked the Sussex, the English
man. the Manchester Engineer etc, etc,

The report is duly placed on file in the
archives of the secretary of states Office
in Washington; and there is doubt even
whether the Sussex was hit by anything
more dangerous than a channel wave.

A Fair Chance for Dr.. Hillegas.

1t was a mistake to hail the appoint
ment Of DR.. Milo b. Hillegas as yindi-
cation of the Carnegie Foundations re
port on education in Vermont. 1t is
not true, as the Bellows Falls Times has
stated, that Or. Hillegas wrote most Of
that report. He wrote only the section
on elementary education, SO pages out OF
2l4 The features OF the Carnegie re-
port which fixed themselves in the pub
lie mind are not in that section
1t is also unfortunate that the selec
tion of DR.. HiIlegas has been criticized
because he happened to be one OF the
Carnegie Investigators. He gave his serv-
ices as an expert on elementary educa.
tion to body legally authorized to study
our schools, and he did good work. The
section of the Carnegie report on ele-
mentary education, for which alone DR..
Hillegas is responsible, is the most valu
able and the least radical Of the entire
report. Not a single feature OF the Car
negie recommendation which aroused
opposition is found in the chapter over
DR. Hillegas signature. That chaper
gives no warrant for thinking that he viii
come to Vermont as an opponent of the
normal schools or as enemy Of Norwich
or a opposed to college schol-
arships fer Vermont students. The man
has right TO be judged by what he him
self has said, and he has published not
a word on any of these matters.
A careful reading OF DIR. Hillegas' study
of our elementary schools will give any
fair reminded man an optimistic attitude
toward our new commissioner. His eS
animation Of conditions is searching and
fearless, but it IS also fair and free from
sensation, When forced to criticise, he
is sympathetic and kindly. Often he is
generous in praise, as when he speaks |

generally manifested by the school drec |

recommend any such wholesale transpor
alton of pupils as some have feared. IN
iced he found some pupils carried far
her than in his judgment was wise. He
recommends a new course of study, the
ibolition of examinations for admission
o high school, more play grounds, and
more thorough supervision, but these
ire matters in which improvement has
,een generally felt TO be necessary.
All in all, Dr. Hillegas' contribution to
he Carnegie report was that OF practical
air minded man careful in the search for
acts, cautious in recommendation, and

iction of the fundamental Importance

Motorists who feel impeled to speed
their machines the coming summer
should bear in mind the fate of Bob
burman at Riverside, Cal, last Saturday,
Presumably his machine was keyed up
to the highest pitch and was in the best
possible shape for hard test of usage ];
yet the machine was not able to stand
the pressure and its collapse brought
death to the famous speed maniac and
injury to several other persons. No
man. built machine is perfect; and it is
not safe to place too much reliance on
any brand of motor vehicle. That is a
very self-evident fact and conclusion
which it would be advisable for all mo-
torsts to bear in mind. If it were borne
in mind there would be a marked de-
crease in motoring casualties.

Profits Derived from Efficient Spending

THE United States government and
the Nebraska experiment station have
completed study of farm profits" says
Farm and Fireside. "They investigated
the management of large number Of
farms in three Nebraska counties and
have come to the conclnusion that profits
come not SO much from spending less
money but rather from spending it more
efficiently.
I'm one county the average expenses
on fifteen farms averaged about 5000 per
year more than on fifteen other farms.
But the first fifteen farms were the most
profitable, and the other fifteen were the
least,
This is not surprising. The problem
of good investments is as important on
the farm as in any other line of bust
ness. No hard and fast rules can be laid
down, but good land, good seed, good
live stock, and good farm equipment are
nearly always safe and profitable invest
