United States Senator Carroll :.
Page will meet with opposition If he
decides to he a candidate for re-elec-
ton We use the IF" as a matter of
precaution, for although there are
many indications that the gentleman
from Hyde Park has a consuming de.
sire to return to Washington for an.
other term he has yet to take the peo.
pie of the state into his confidence re-
garding his aspirations. Some folks
profess to be annoyed at Senator
Pages attitude but few, If any. are
surprised. Vermonts junior senator
has never won a reputation for coming
out nat-foted on any issue. and it is
only natural that he should conduct his
campaign for reelection along the
lines that have marked his course in
Congress. He has written hundreds
Of letters in an effort to ascertain

THE LITTLE MASTERS
Minority Controls All State Affairs
In Vermont

Editor of The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Little Masters are its smaller towns;
the largest one of which has a popula-
ton of less than nine hundred The
whole of these Little Masters have an
eyerage population per town Of less
than five hundred fifty $500 Their
total population is less than nineteen
per cent of the population Of the state.
Yet no law, which they oppose, can
be passed by the General Assembly OF
Vermont and no law for which they
vote can fail of the approval of the Yer
mont House of Representatives
Some of these towns have less than
one hundred people Over seventy
of them average each less than three
hundred fifty $500 There are over
one hundred of the larger towns whose
population averages over two thousand
five hundred.
Now it is manifestly unfair and IN
American for the many small towns 20
be the Masters OF the state.
Yet. unless they consent to it moth
ing can be done to take away their
power OF control in the state legisla
ture. They have the votes. the consti-
tuition and the laws; and so they can
hold their position practically disfran-
chsing, as to legislation, say, half Of
the voters of the state.
They can, also enter heartily into a
plan for having representation in law
making in some due proportion to the
number of people represented.
No one should think OF taking repre-
sentation away from The Little Mas
ters, and they should be, and probably
would be, content with fair representa-
ton
If half of The Little Masters were
ready to stand for legislative repre-
sentaton throughout the state, in pro.
portion to the population OF the towns,
the constitution and the laws could be
so changed that none of the people Of
NC~mont would be, in a way, penalized
"a partial disfranchisemen for the
crime of hurry in the larger places.

the move to give the people OF the lar

ger towns fair play? Doubtless they
will either lead or follow They have
not abused their power in the past, and

not disposed to claim more than their

PLAY VERSUS WORK
Theory That We Can Play Our Way to
ACCOMPLISHMENT

accompaniment.
IN the popular sense, play is what
you pay for doing; work is what you
get paid for doing. In the pupils
mind, play is what YOU want to do;
work is what you don't want to do.
From the individuals point of view.
play is the thing worth while-work
is worth while only as means Of pro-
yiding more money that may be spent
for play. From societys point of
view, work is the thing worth while
play is kind Of sop helpful in keeping
the individual contented in his work
When you think OF it, there is some
thing very inconsistent and very I'M
fortunate in these notions; for much Of
the best work OF the world has not
been done Tor pay. the pupil learns
faster when he enjoys his studies, and
the greatest of a mans achievements
in life-his master works generally
what he wanted TO do.
The not very widely spread notion
that play may be productivity useful
and work give pleasure, IS not at all
new. 1t is as old as Fenelon, Festa.
lozzi, Froebel-yea, as old as Plato
and probably older. Yet we who are
concerned with education. who were
long since familiar with the idea are
in practice forever lodging the i-sGc.
We believe in play,-but then. work
must be done and We Just can't fix our
eyes on what must be done and play
our way to it.
1t is my wish TO suggest that We
have now come TO the point In educa.
tion where if we would but fix our eyes
upon play and not upon work, we
should find that We could play our way
to necessary accomplishment better
and quicker than We ever worked our
way to it.
