Let's see, the Carnegie Founda-
ton played havoc with Vermont's
educational system and recommend
ed the establishment of Junior High
schools, cutting down the standard
high Schools and colleges, doing
away with Norwich University and
hit the University of Vermont hard.
Somehow or other the Vermont ed
vocational system still lives and does
business. The University has been
designated as one of the fifteen or
so distinguished colleges" in the
United States by the government,
which also rates Norwich University
as second only to West Point, which
all goes to prove that opinions differ.
Lucky is the lad, today, who has
graduated or about to graduate
from Norwich University, for he is
at once selected by the government.
And in all the great arteries of bust
ness are found graduates of these
schools, universities and colleges of
Vermont. The public schools have
excellent courses and give thorough
instruction, and the higher institu-
tions are doing splendid work but
one of them attempt to put brains
into a pupil, they only cultivate the
the mental Faculties nature has CIV
en- them. No educational institu-
ton has reached a stage of perfec-
ton and Vermont schools, in COM
NOR with other states, are not per-
feet but they fill the bill fairly well
and measure up with those in gen.
eral. We criticise school efficiency,
everyone does, but because we do
this does not signify that we are
knocking Vermont schools. Crit
'cism is a most effective and helpful
stepping stone to better efforts.
The knocker gets in his work in a
different way. It's only the places
where he used to live that are
worthy of praise. Never a good
word for the present place of abode
or a helping hand to make things
better. We have abundant reason
to be proud Of Vermont schools.
We recognize they are not what
they should be, or possibly ought to
be, but we are proud of them just
the same and the little we can do to
help place them on a higher plane
will be u constant desire and aim,

tagious.

bly, all of them do not need blankets,

had already gotten them from home,

yourself. Whatever you do will be

that would be too big an undertaking,
