MONTPELIER, VT, March 24.-The
Vermont state board of education
has offered the position of commission
er of education to Milo B. Hillegas of
New York and he has accepted the
tender as has already been reported.
Dr. Hillegas will succeed Mason S.
Stone at the close of the present
school year, July 1st, 1916. Mr.. Stone
rendered his resignation as superintend-
ent of education under the old school
law during the 1915 session of the
state legislature. When the new law
took effect June LIST last, Mr.. Stone con-
scented to accept the commissionership
until such time as the board felt it
could dispense with his services Mr..
Stone s thorough familiarity with
school and other conditions throughout
the state has been invaluable in start
ing the machinery of what is essential
~ q new educational system for Yer
mont. His service has been loyal and
unselfsh. Mr.. Stone 5 tenure at the
head of the state school system covers
a period of about nineteen years.
4 DIR. Hillegas was not an applicant
for the commissionership but was Sc
lected on account of his special ability,
training and experience for the duties
of this important office. For a COM
/ paratively young man his range of
work and his responsibilities have been
marked. He comes to Vermont at
traeted by the opportunity that the
leadership in education offers for ser
vice, having formed a real attachment
for the state and its people during his
field work here three years ago.
DIR. Hillegas will receive a salary OF
$4,000 a year, which is somewhat less
/ emolument than he receives at Column
hia university, where he is at present
engaged. He expects to come to Yer
mont early in June of this year.

how easy it is to rid yourself of

Early Opening of Trout Season.

Local anglers fail to become en-
Unused this year over the fact that the
open season on trout begins next week
Saturday April l. For several years
past weather conditions have permitted
fishing on that date but such a thing
this year seems to be entirely out of
the question owing to the great depth
of snow. Should the snow disappear in
the next week the brooks would be
nothing more or less than swollen tor
rents. Nevertheless the fishermen as a
general rule seem perfectly satisfied
with the early opening and prefer it
to a later one under conditions which
would bring out practically every
angler on the opening day.
